Lace the Stripes.

It is possible to have everything you want but not all at the same time.

A friend told me these words a couple of weeks ago and I was completely blown away.It is human nature to feel the need to question your existence when the window of the Range Rove next to the matatu your in is rolled down and the person in it is almost your age. Jeeezz Lord was it that obvious that you passed me by?

Then during my morning devotion I stumbled onto these words by T.D.Jakes;

"In order to strive lawfully our efforts must be tailored after the pattern of divine purpose. Everyone is already blessed. We often spend hours in prayer trying to convince God that He should bless what we are praying to accomplish. What we need to do is spend hours in prayer for God to reveal His purpose.When we do what God has ordained to be done, we are blessed because God's plan is already blessed. Perhaps you have known times of frustration. Most of us at one time or another have found ourselves wrestling to birth an idea that was conceived in the womb of the human mind as opposed to the divine. For myself i have learned that God will not be manipulated. If He said it, that settles it. No amount of praying through parched lips and tear- stained eyes will cause God to revert what He knows is best for you"

Find peace at whatever stage you are in in your life. Savor the moments and purpose to live entirely in the present because worry makes you anxious of the future and you miss out on the little milestones that the now has got to offer.

 I am slightly obsessed with monochrome. Okay truth, I am very obsessed with monochrome. I see it as a design piece in my bedroom, as the background for my teal sofas, as the skirt I want to rock all day long.

The lace top just presented enough elegance to finish the look and the red bottoms really brought their A-game huh!

Snow on Chrome

That has been a very short week!

Who does not like the anticipation in the air on a Friday Morning?

Today my "Snow on .........." outfit posts come to an end.I have had a lot of fun turning my wardrobe upside down for this and it was totally worth it.

I want to say thank you to my little Sissy for agreeing to take the pics.

 

White just like black makes the perfect base to put together the perfect outfit.You can never go wrong with a monochrome combination if your life was dependent on it.

This midi skirt is comfy and stylish and compliments the outfit. This is more of a day look that can turn into a night look by switching the sneaker wedges for killer red or blue heels.

I really hope you had as much fun as I had doing this feature.

Its me again blabbing about God knows what, but hey y'all still here reading this so it must mean what? "I am awesome!!!"

I am most definitely my number one fan. I learnt this from an early age that you gotta pat yourself on the back every so often and tell yourself that your super awesome.

I call it "The power of speaking life,good health and prosperity" into your own life.

Sometimes people are too busy with the hustle and bustle of life to stop and compliment you on whatever your doing but since you know how far you have come you just need to do it for youself.

It does pretty good number on your self esteem and gives you life juice to keep going.

I found this stripped top while I was cleaning out my closet. (sale will be going up soon). 

Y'all know I am a sucker for black and white. I am potential rehab material when it comes to monochrome, It is bad. 

Well I paired it up with with white pants. White happens to be one of my favorite colors. It's so bad that I can follow a guy down the street if he is dressed in all white, you know the ( white muscle shirt and white line pants and white loafers kind or the Tall "Abdi" in a  Sparkling white kanzu ) yeah those ones. 

I wore a thrifted yellow blazer which I folded the long sleeves of the top over the blazer's arms to make sort of a boyfriend jacket look and threw on the nude bag and shoes to finish the simple look.

"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing."

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
                          We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
                                                                               Have No Regrets.

I think this  monochrome dress is one of my best buys in my wardrobe.

I can wear it up with a nice boyfriend jacket or wear it down with this denim jacket. I added a touch of green to make the outfit pop a whole lot! Chunky heels are so comfy ladies you can walk a mile in them.

I did not expect them Bantu knots to last this long but it's Friday and they are still going strong.
