What-a-funk

2013-05-09T11:42:00.001-04:00

I have been in the biggest funk of my life. I cant seem to pull myself out of it. However, yesterday, I was looking at pics of Kim K while pregnant...and I must say, she was looking amazing in a few of them and made me say to myself, if she can manage to look so good while pregnant, then I need to pick myself up and do something about this funk I'm in....so I tried today. But guess what, pics wouldnt load for some reason...oh well, I tried :) So here are a few pics of Kim instead...lol

These are the same pants that I am wearing but in yellow! My brother took this pic of me while in NJ this past weekend.

I LOVE Days Like This

2013-04-10T08:35:00.000-04:00

I truly live for days like this. The days I wake up and want to throw on a dress and just be freaking happy. It can be about anything. But today, I am happy to be me and to be where I am today. What I posted on FB this morning: "What YOU want may not be what HE sees fit for you. The sooner you realize/accept that, the happier you will be. Learn to Love That! (AND ON THAT NOTE, I AM CLEARING MIND AND HEART) (Prov. 3:5, 6)." So yes, this is what I am doing. Sometimes you get so hung up on someone or something and fail to realize that it is just not for you! Stop obsessing over things or people that are not for you and focus and put more energy on things and people that are!

Outfit Details: Dress from my fave cheap dress store, Ross - but it looks like it came from ModCloth. They have tons of beautiful dresses. I love the details in this dress but I couldnt capture a great pic for you to see. Gianni Bini Pumps worn here.

It Feels Like Spring

2013-04-08T09:35:00.002-04:00

Heeeellllooo! Whenever my photographer is off school (spring break), I am crap out of luck with the pics. Its okay - he needed that rest! We are going to get back to business!

I started the "no makeup" thing again. I was never a makeup person (felt like a clown), and then I started with blush, eyeliner and mascara. But recently, someone mentioned me having makeup, etc. and I just thought, I never want people to get so used to me with makeup that when I dont have any, they see a significant difference. I know a person that when she doesnt wear makeup, she looks like a bag of dirt that got ran over by a truck!....lol Yeah, that was mean! Oh well, it is what it is!

Get The Look: No name flower printed Jeans...See similar ones here or here. Button down shirt from H&M...and yes, its a man's shirt. But men's shirts have longer sleeves :). Wedge Sandals from Target from last year. They still have some cute ones available.

Take a Chill Pill

2013-03-19T09:56:00.003-04:00

Hello There. Weather WAS nice yesterday. Today? Different story.

You ever feel like you are doing too much?! I do! So sometimes you have to take a step back and just look at what you are doing and what others are doing and rearrange some things in your life so that it does not become chaotic. For today, I am taking a chill pill. I am going to relax and learn to let things roll on their own. Enough!

Get The Look: Skirt, TJMaxx (super cute one here); Gianni Bini Pumps from Dillards, see some beautiful pumps here or these; Blazer, JCP here.

He Picked My Clothes Today

2013-03-18T08:43:00.000-04:00

Hello world and beautiful people! I enjoyed my weekend very much and I know you did too :) So last night, my friends came over and I asked my dear buddy Joshy Woshy (is what I call him) to pick out my clothes. He has some style with him so I was not worried at all....and this is what he came up with. I must give it up to him considering I don't feel that I have any fun pieces in my closet...to the naked eye...Glad he has a fun eye and was able to come up with this! Thanks Joshy!! Love you! So this is the 2nd post in a row with a tie...go figure :)

Get The Look: Tie (gifted by my dear friend Kat); Earings from Dress Up Boutique (gifted by my dear friend Kat)...isnt she the best!; Shoes, Nine West; Denim Jacket, Old Navy; Skirt, TJMaxx.

Comfort Brings Me Pleasure

2013-03-07T09:55:00.003-05:00

Morning!! Rise and Shine!! Today started to feel like it was going to be another blah day...starting with my outfit...booo, not feeling it, but I love to feel comfortable!! My poor boots have had it but I love them so. When I got in the car Bruno Mars song came on...This song picks me right up!!! love him!!!

My Word Is As Good As Gold

2013-03-06T08:22:00.001-05:00

Today, that's what I hold dear...A person's word. If you tell me that you are going to do something, then I expect it to be done...and vise versa. Sadly, not everyone is like that or think it's important. We need to get back to that level of personal accountability when it comes to our promises/words to others. When you say you are going to do and don't do, that speaks volume about you (to me). Soooo, that's what this sweater brought to mind to me...lol weird right? NO!!!

Get The Look: Faux Leather Pencil Skirt from NY&Co.. Gold Sweater from H&M...I got it last year but never got around to wearing it. Levity Kimi Pump from DSW. I fell in love with these shoes as soon as I saw them. So glad my feet are funny because they didn't have a size 8, but a 7.5 worked perfect :)

Monday is back. Good Morning my loves! How Was Your Weekend? I cant say I did much, but it was one of those weekends where I was missing my family very much.

I love wearing black on days that seem gloomy and blah. Thats just how I am feeling today...a little blah.

The Way to My Heart is Through My Socks

2013-03-01T09:35:00.004-05:00

You all know I love love love me some socks!! My friend Kat knows my love for them so she got these for me!! Wasn't that so sweet! Love her to pieces! My life is slowly trying to get back to normal. We didn’t have to go to trial yesterday so that was a big relief. Happy Friday everyone! Try to enjoy the weekend. Whatever worries you have today, they may or may not be there tomorrow. So take a load off and for a minute or two, focus on the positive things your life. Love them and keep them in the forefront. Besos! P.S., if you have a copy of the March issue of Essence, Check out Pg 30....You may see familiar face in there ;)

Get The Look: Skinny Jeans Forever21. Sweater from JCP. I got it for my daughter but she didn't like how it felt on her skin. Oh well, Mommy will take it :). Booties by Guess here but they no longer have them. You can check similar ones here.
