A Gift To Me

This year is flying by! It's crazy to think that it's already been 2 months since my birthday ( perhaps because every day I want it to be my birthday?! J/k...but really...)!! 

If your an Express card holder, then you know in the month of your birthday they send you a gift card to use in their store toward a purchase. Well I for sure am not going to turn down a gift!  So I marched right in there to hunt for a new goody and walked out with this  fun little dress. It's so comfy! Plus I love that it's mini and has tiny little sequins all over it! What do you think?

Flirt

I love this top I'm wearing. The color, the ruffles, the fabric...it screams spring! With a top so flirty, I wanted to give it a supporting cast by wearing glitter polish, fancy bracelets, and sweet mint stilettos. As far as my hair is concerned, I let my natural wave take over. I kinda feel like the Queen Bey! Like it? 

Now go get your flirt on ;-)

Electric Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Jesus is alive!! After a fabulous church service, I'm off the spend the day with my family. It's handy that I chose to wear the outfit I did. My heels are a perfect distraction to make my girls' Easter egg hunt that much more difficult! I mean what's the fun in an egg hunt without a little challenge ;)

Schizo Spring

I don't know how the weather is in your region, but where I live, it can't seem to make up its mind. One day I'm breaking out my shorts, and the next I need a sweater. This can be tricky when you are so badly yearning to put your winter wardrobe away for good. But all you need to do is a little mixing until you get the thumbs up for summer weather. 

Desperately wanting to pull out a spring skirt, but too chilled to bare my whole leg, I wore some over the knee boots. This is a perfect combo for breaking away from a heavy winter look and easing into something more light for spring! What do you think?

A Walk In The Park

With this glorious spring weather around me, I've been trying to take advantage of it by getting outside more. There's a beautiful park near my place that's perfect for walks. 

Here, I went really comfy with my look by wearing relaxed fitting separates and throwing on some combat boots. What do you think?

[ Nail File: ] Turquoise & Caicos

turquoise & caicos by essie

Just a short bit ago, dré posted about the mint craze. I am definitely on board, but wanted to try something that was a notch up in the mint department to suite my complexion. From the same line, I'm wearing turquoise & caicos, and it looks great with my skin tone. Of course, I took the liberty of adding a little sparkle n' shine with OPI's Pirouette My Whistle.

Whether you're light and sweet or rich and turquoise, I think you'll agree with me when I say: I'd rather be in Caicos!
