Valentine
It looks like Valentine’s Day came a little earlier than expected! I am absolutely smitten with my new all purpose boots –they bring out my inner ninja haha Anyway, an all purpose shoe for me is the pair I grab anytime I have to make moves in a hurry and dash out the door. Them being black makes them easy to coordinate, and the patent leather finish is perfect for all the rainy weather we’ve been getting lately. My most recent pair were leopard print slippers from Target, and the pair before them were my sneaker wedges by Steve Madden.
Anyone close to me can account for how much I love a good deal! We started off the afternoon on a search for a steamer at Bed Bath & Beyond –they were marked a lot higher than I was looking to pay, so we ran over to Ross to see if they had any… Not only did a find the perfect steamer for 20 bucks (happy dance, whoo!), I also came across these bad boys by Chinese Laundry. To say the least it was a good day. I’ve already admitted to myself that I will most likely be the girl in the boots, and I proudly embrace that title haha Have an awesome week!

Back in the Day
What I’m Wearing– Earrings: Forever 21, Eagle Ring: Forever 21, Chain Ring: Handmade, Pants: Nordstrom Rack, Booties: Lucky Brand, Chain Bracelet: Vintage, Chain Necklace: Method Boutique
No lie, this is one of my favorite looks in a long time. I had about 8 minutes to get dressed and head out the door. It’s fall, and it was fun to dip back into the feel of being a student on campus again. Isn’t it funny how it seems that the less an outfit is planned the better it turns out? Have an awesome weekend!

Like Water for Chocolate
With the exception of a quick run to tutor one of my favorite fourth graders and stop by the grocery store to get flour for my oatmeal raisin cookies, was a working from home on my laptop kinda day. This look had just enough going on to send me out the door with a little pep in my step. I’m a big believer in dressing beyond your mood, so whether you’re feeling on top of the world or down in the dumps, I always remind myself that a little bit goes a long way.
Actually, In all honesty, it wasn’t so much the outfit that did it for me (obviously haha) So, Lauren London is now a character on BET’s hit show The Game, and from the moment she entered the scene in a recent episode, I knew that the lipstick she was wearing had to have been Ruby Woo! Kudos to Mac for doing such a fantastic job designing that stunning shade of red with a hint of blue. The only downside for me is the fact that that bad boy is nearly impossible to get on without a slick aide. Fortunately, I have the perfect solution! This may come as a surprise, but Wet N’ Wild has the most perfect assortment of matte colors, and their Stoplight Red is the ideal compliment. To create the lip color above, I apply a thin layer of Stoplight Red to both my top and bottom lips, followed up by lining my lips with Ruby Woo and then filling in my bottom lip a slight bit with more of the Ruby Woo. The result is the bold color shown above. Hope this is useful for you guys! Although I don’t wear much makeup, I consider myself a master mixer when it comes to blending lip colors. It’s taken me quite sometime to figure the science behind getting right, but it got it! haha Have a great day!

A Confident Expectation
Grey really is my favorite color to wear. I can’t get enough of it, and my new sweatshirt from Forever 21 is just simple enough to dress up (like I did for church) or down when I’m on the run.
BCBG steals my heart over and over with their awesome shoe selection.
Earrings: Forever 21, Necklace: Handmade, Sweatshirt: Forever 21, Bracelet: Vintage (My Granny’s), Sunglasses: Forever 21, Pants: Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren, Shoes: BCBG
For as long as I can remember, I’ve come across people who have corrected me whenever I used phrases with the word hope…”I hope such and such comes to pass.” “I’m hoping it’ll happen.” etc. Evidently, some people feel it suggests a lack of confidence in the desired outcome. Well, Sunday at church our pastor introduced me to a new way to look at the word hope. He shared with us that the biblical definition of hope is, “A confident expectation of WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.”
To say the least, I have marinated in the awesomeness of this new definition and the following quote he shared, “Lord, I have faith in you. I believe my future is better than my past. I’m putting my trust in you.”
This year has been filled with a series of highs and lows, and I rest in the peace of knowing that there are so many sources of positive thinking around me. Never lose sight of the vision God has set before you. Whether that’s regarding your career, your purpose or relationships. I’m hoping to see the fullness of all His wonderful promises in the near future! Be blessed.
