Hola :),

Glad to be back! :)

This blouse inspired me so much that I purchased it. The fact that it only cost me $2.50 only served to sweeten the deal! I wanted the blouse to be the focus of this look so I kept it simple. Minimal jewelry, dark wash jeans, and blush/nude pumps complete this look to perfection. This is the ultimate chic summer ensemble for the curvy woman. A great blouse, well-fitted jeans, and a nice platform will look great on any figure. Classic and chic. :)

Jeans: Marshall's
Blush Pumps: Target

FALL INTO SPRING!

This weekend the hubby and I went over some friends' for lunch. I was going for a dichotomy between comfy and chic. The look is centered around this fall-inspired blouse.

I purchased this blouse at a Goodwill outlet for less than $1, last weekend. (Goodwill outlets price their items by the pound). Although this blouse has fall colored leaves on it, I decided to rock it out anyway! Hope you enjoy the look and are inspired. :)

On my lips I added a nice pop of color.
Covergirl Lip Perfection: Divine

Jeffrey Campbell Lita's: Purchased from SoleStruck some time ago.

I picked this bag up at Ross some time ago.

A better look at the blouse; a bit wrinkled from sitting in the car :/

I felt fab in this ensemble!

Blessings and much love to you all until next post!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!! YOU CAN LISTEN TO 'I NEED YOU' HERE!!!!

So it's officially here!!! My new single's debut!!! Listen HERE

NEW SINGLE: I NEED YOU: RELEASED 3.31.13

In exactly 1 day 6 hours and 30minutes I will be celebrating two things: my new single being released and the resurrection of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!

'I NEED YOU' will be released for the whole world to hear on

  March 31, 2013!!

The whole reason I'm releasing new music on this date is because of my gratitude to Jesus for what He did for me about 2,000 years ago.

He came to this earth to offer salvation to a fallen people but instead of taking it their eyes were blinded and they accused him of blasphemy. They could not believe that the Messiah had really come!

The accusations led him to conviction, and his punishment was death on a cross. Before dying Jesus said this to his critics, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 

They thought He was referring to the temple they were standing in but He was referring to His body! Three days after his death, Jesus indeed rose, rolled away the enormous stone that had covered his grave, and had conquered death! Scientific evidence and the scripture says that He appeared to over 500 men in a span of 40 days!!!

He did all this to be a bridge between humankind and God. He paid a cost for our sins that we couldn't afford. Accepting Him as Lord and Savior of your life means that you have accepted his gift of Salvation. Your debts are paid for and you are forgiven. You no longer have to live in your past, you are a new "creation". 

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17

In my new single, I NEED YOU, I talk about a relationship that I have with this loving God. Jesus has renewed my mind & my heart and made me into the confident, successful woman I am today. He is using me for the purposes of His kingdom and this song is a reflection of that.

You can purchase I NEED YOU as early as April 2, 2013 on major outlets such as: iTunes, Amazon & IHeartRadio!!!! Thank you in advance for supporting my music!! :)

Exciting News!! ;)

Hi lovelies,

I am so excited to have been been featured on Shari Braendel's blog!!!

A little about Shari...

Shari Braendel has become the nation's most sought-after Christian speaker on the topic of fashion, beauty and modesty. As a successful image consultant, she saw firsthand that women didn't recognize the beauty that God gave them and lacked the knowledge of how to dress themselves with confidence so their outside appearance represented who they were on the inside. 

Shari's book, Good Girls don't have to Dress Bad is a full color style guide for every woman. Not only will you learn about the best haircut and makeup for you, but you'll discover the most flattering jeans and swimsuit. All this and your very own shopping guide leading you to the right stores and brands just for you, based on your specific body type.

Shari has been featured on Focus on the Family, The Total Christian Television Network (TCT), K-Love, Crown Financial Network and over 50 radio stations and magazine features.

A Hint of Spring...

Spring doesn't officially arrive until March 20, 2013 this year but I have already begun playing around with some Spring shades. I wore a fairly simple outfit today with a statement piece.

My statement piece was a coral colored blazer, purchased from Target on clearance for only $10.48! This blazer was originally $35.00, but Target regularly places various items on clearance for between 30-70% off. Because of this, Target is my favorite place to be! ;)

I've  been rocking this silver satchel very frequently! It's just so versatile.  I've also been experimenting with this silver collar lately. I've never owned a piece like this. In general, I am more of an earring girl, as opposed to a necklace girl. Give me a pair of fabulous earrings any day, over a statement necklace.

Collar Necklace: H&M
Coral Jacket: Target
Silver Bag: Target
Tank: Thrifted @Salvation Army
Leggings: Thrifted @ Salvation Army

I absolutely love these patent pumps! I picked them up at Ross and I have finally broken them in! LOL

Designed by Michael Kors, these pumps feature a 4-inch heel, studding, and a zipper detail on the back of the shoe. These are my go to pumps, as they add a hint of pizzazz to the casual outfit. 

Patent Michael Kors Pumps: Ross

Just as I have been walking boldly in some fresh colors, I've been learning to walk boldly in my calling, as well. 

When Christ shed his blood on the cross for the sins of human kind, he did it so that, if I accepted him as my Lord and Savior, I could walk with my head held high.

 My past no longer defines me and as long as my heart matches up with His, I can ask anything of my God. This bible verse sums up the way I am feeling at the moment:

^"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."                             (1 John 5:14-15)

I did a music and video recording today for one of my friends, Mike, and I think this outfit showed up well on camera. 

 I'm looking forward to the Spring season. Although I don't follow trends too closely, I always get excited at the notion of challenging myself with the season's tones and shades. It's fun to put my imagination to use in this manner. So you all will probably see me transitioning into the next season with hints of Spring colors here and there, with each outfit post.

Talk to you all very soon!!!
