Passion = Purpose

Hey loves! I hope you have been having a great week. Mine has been busy and productive. I am about to embark on a challenge that makes me a little uncomfortable, but GOD usually leads us to do things that are beyond are comfort zone. When you are pursuing your purpose remember to go out on a limb because that's where the ripe fruit is. I will share with you my experience of getting out of the boat and walking on water in the next post. Stay tuned:-)

Your purpose in life is often directly connected to your passion. Purpose is something we should walk in, but what usually happens is we let people talk us out of our dreams and settle for the path of least resistance because other people can't see the vision. Or we shortchange ourselves by staying where we are comfortable. Always remember that everything great in this world started with a vision and your gifts will make room for you.

This is the smile of a woman walking in her purpose and being joyful despite the hurtful actions of others.

To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1

 

Your purpose is calling

 

Step to it

 

Smile and embrace it

 

 Own it

 

I see you

 

Look through a lens of positivity. Go and get everything that is in your vision. Go get it!

 

 

 

 

 

Black Butterfly

Hello loves! I hope your new year is off to a fabulous start! I have been so busy that I didn't have a chance to post these photos from December when I took my son out for Christmas brunch. It rarely gets cold enough in Los Angeles to wear winter attire, but when I get the chance, I love to wear gloves, boots and scarves.  Although I really love this time of year, I can already feel spring in the air and the recent wave of 80 degree weather is a hint that it might be time to start pulling out those sundresses I have packed away:-)

 

If you are wondering about the title of this post, "Black Butterfly" is an old song I have always loved by Deniece Williams.

I am a person that loves bold color, but black on black is always timeless and classic. Do you agree?

I am a woman that loves a little glamour. How about you? I feel like there is something so lady like and sophisticated about gloves.

The right accessories are always the perfect cherry on top to a great look

Another gratuitous shot of my boots, LOL

 

 Do you have any plans for the new year?  Anybody else have holiday hips? I get them every year:-)

Have an amazing week!

Leopard Love

 Happy Tuesday loves! I hope your weekend was as great as mine:-) My birthday is next Tuesday and I have already started celebrating. This year I have been extended so many dinner invitations that I had to start celebrating a week early:-) I am looking forward to lots of good eats during my birthday month and a nice big hunk of birthday cake. What is your favorite way to celebrate your birthday?

My ensemble today is black, white, red and leopard. I love animal print, so it manages to always find its way into my outfits. I love black and white because it is such a classic look and can be accented with any color and look chic. Do you like black and white?

I am completely obsessed with animal print

I love the way this nail color looks with this color combo

These shoes are very very very comfortable and I love that the heel is not ridiculously high

Have an amazing day!

Black and White

 Happy Everything! Have you ever just felt so filled with joy you thought it would bubble over? I hope your weekend was as good as mine:-)

There is a major heatwave in my neck of the woods. It is definitely time to put away all of my winter clothes. Hello Spring!

What do you like to wear when it gets hot?

I really love these shoes I am wearing, but they are not the most comfortable shoes in the world. This is definitely not a shoe for a lot of walking

Have an amazing day!

Orange + Polka Dots

 Happy Friday loves! I am so excited about this holiday weekend.  It means eating slabs of ribs dripping with barbecue sauce, grilled burgers and dogs, picnic potato salad and laying under a tree in the park. YAY! And of course recognizing that the day is about more than barbecue, but about taking a moment to recognize the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I am super excited to have been featured on the fabulous Oh To Be A Muse Blog. I want to thank Cheryl, the lovely woman behind this wonderful fashion blog. You can see the feature here. And of course, I would be thrilled if you head over there and show me a little love:-)

 I love the color orange and if you have been following for a while, you know that orange gets lots of play in my wardrobe.  I paired this cute little H&M orange dress with some splashes of black and white. for some reason polka dots always put me in a good mood.   Stay tuned for some fun changes I am making to my blog.  I think you will love them!  So, what are you doing this holiday weekend? I plan to have my face in a plate of barbecue real soon and me and my little one will be off on one of our adventures this weekend:-)
