Coco's Chaos

Depending on where you are in the country and what day of the week it is, Winter is making its exit and Spring is sashaying in. Gone are the days of covering up as much skin as possible to avoid the savage chill of winter's wrath. Now, we can bask in the warmth of the sun and the cool breezes of Springtime. According to my calendar, Spring "officially" started about a week ago. If you are lucky enough to live in a place that has seen a rise in temperatures and the return of the sun, this post is for you! If your area's temperatures havent quite gotten that "Its Spring!" memo yet, I'm sorry. Maybe you can think happy, warm thoughts and use this post as inspriation as you daydream about the warm weather ensembles you will debut when the temperature catches up to the calendar.  I, for one, am very excited about Spring. I love any weather that allows me to either particiapte in #SundressSeason or wear my go-to jeans and a cute tank and sandals. I really love...

The older I get, the more I excited I am when I have the chance to stay home and do absolutely nothing. And lets not even discuss the pure joy I feel in my spirit when I am able to take a good nap... *daydreams about taking a nap* I could stay in my room all day and only leave for food if you let me.  I decided while writing my Best of 2014 post that I would make it a point to get out of my room more and do at least one activity or attend at least one event each month. I want to have stories to tell and memories to reflect upon. I cant tell tales of all the hours I spent locked away in my room, in bed, watching all my DVR'd shows while I dined upon delicious junk food. That would be tragic and quite frankly, a dull existence. So, Im fighting the temptation to be an introvert all the time and actually live a little. We're now in our third month of the year and so far I have kept my promise to myself. I'm getting out more and making more plans. I'm still VERY excited abou...

All the gifts from under the tree have been handed out (for the most part lol) so now its time to give out one more gift to close out the holidays: YOU in a bomb.com (thank my goddaughter for that phrase) New Years ensemble! I'm usually at home at midnight saying a prayer of thanks and watching whatever Law & Order franchise is doing a marathon. Might change it up a bit this year...go crazy...rent a movie through On Demand. WILD AND CRAZY!! So, Im probably going to be relaxing in a pair of my finest pajamas (old tshirt and shorts).  If you're not like me and you're actually bringing in 2015 in a more social setting, I have some ensemble inspiration for ya! So, b efore the "New Year, New Me!" statuses start flooding your social media newsfeeds/timelines, here's your final style inspiration for 2014!  Whatever you may doing at the stroke of midnight, I wish you safety, fun and lots of love!  Be careful, be blessed and have a very prosperous new year! * Cheer...

I was scrolling through my Twitter feed late one night and I noticed a lot of people using the hashtags #BestSelfiesof2014 or #BestSelfies2014 while posting what they considered their "best" selfies of this year. I joined in on the fun and posted two or three selfies. It was during my search for one more selfie that I realized how much has happened this year. I then decided to stop the selfie hunt and start working on a post about this rollercoaster year we call 2014.  I have been to weddings, reunions, parties, balls, ladies' nights, dinners, and unfortunately, a couple funerals over the last year. Lots of smiles, laughter and tears shed (some happy...some not). I have experienced so much over the last year that I couldnt possibly go into 2015 without reflecting on all the ups/downs and smiles/frowns of 2014.  So, prepare to travel back, way back, to the beginning of this year. And then buckle up for a ride through all twelve months of 2014. Ready? Here we go...  January...
