ThankFULL

Happy thanksgiving day to all my lovely Bloggers, whether its thanksgiving day at your place today or not just take out a few minuets to examine what you are thankful for. Personally I am thankful for the gift of life and to be able to share it with the ones I love the most, family, friends and well wishers. They are all AHHH-MAZING!!

I spend my pre-thanksgiving at the mall because I am not a big in-store black Friday person so I do pre- thanksgiving shopping and then shop everything else online on Friday.

So I went to my favorite store and while at it I decided to get some foundation and powder, you may have notice I only wear eye shadows and blush every once in a blue moon. I actually LOVE LOVE the look.  not sure if I will be keeping it though, look like my skin was reacting to it so I might try it on one more time to see what happens.

Speaking of thanksgiving sale my other fabulous store EXPRESS have got some amazing discount 50% off everything in store and online. For shoes %50 at Aldos and  gojane have got some fashion steal on their website as well. And if you love my clutch and neck-piece from here check out my N'omose store for some great Black Friday deals starting later this evening (11/22/12)


XOXO

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have put off my sackcloth
and girded me with gladness,
To the end that my tongue
and my heart
and everything glorious within me
may sing praise to You
and not be silent.
O Lord my God,
I will give thanks to You forever." - ps 30 :11-12

That oxblood dress

Hope you all had a lovely Weekend.

The Other day I was looking through my blog and realize a lot of my outfit post has some shades blues and green and I thought I'd shop my closet for a different color this Sunday, I got this dress quite a while back from Asos but never wore it. I got it in a size 2 but realized I should have ordered a size up since its a bodycon dress. I paired it up with a studded cardigan to  avoid excess self consciousness.

 

Vintage clutch from Mom's closet

Still a hint of my favorite color - Blue nails with sparkles

Black and Gold accessories always fun and great combination 

Lace Insert also in the back

Experimenting with Lip stick for the first time and not bad at all

Love Love Love Fall colors!!

One stride at a time

Hello bellas Hope you are all having a lovely week and excited for the weekend. The weather on my end have been pretty much bi-polar and off course my body have to react to it so I have been locked indoor with a cold :(. In the mean time here is one of my outfit for school with the sun out.

I just might be enjoying styling these braids a little too much

This is definitely one of my favorite leggings this fall, I've probably worn it a million times already and I keep loving it more each time

Maxi

Add caption

I've got a love relationship with anything maxi skirts, maxi dresses, or jumpsuits. I am pretty short standing at 5'3 so any attire that makes me appear taller always makes me smile. Pair up a maxi dress with a 5 inches pair of heels and we are good to go. My camera was really acting up on Sunday, it looked like there was something on the lens so most of the pictures came out bad and so I did not have enough to post on here. In the mean time enjoy the achieves and stay tune for my next post.

Shout out to all my new followers and commenters, you guys are amazing!!





Have a lovely day

Soirée

This past weekend I attended a few events and my favorite was the Annual National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Soiree Elegance event. I am really not a party type of person meaning you will never catch me at a club hehe,  but when it comes to wine and dine in a classy atmosphere with some intellectual people I am so on board. This year I was going back as an Alumni meaning there will be several people I have not seen in a very long time and off course dress to impress. Shopping was definitely not an option so I dug in my closet and Guess what I found? my pageant/Prom dress from 6 years ago. Surprisingly enough it still fitted perfectly. The dress is completely beaded so its a little heavy but I still picked it because I wanted to stay as feminine as possible (Never fall for the stereotype that female Engineers are tomboys). Enjoy the pictures

The event was totally amazing with many Alumni, I definitely enjoyed seeing old faces. Had hundreds of pictures but not so many personals and here are some of my  longest and closest friends who were also in attendance and definitely would not mind their pictures on here

My future doctor, sister from another mother, keeping strong from high school  to college days and many yrs to come

Team NSBE_Love, the tightest family I found in NSBE, Mr. K my Co-Electrical engineer who keeps me going when I thought I could not take it no more and Ms. M the one we love so dearly and call little sister.

Similar style with Ms. NSBE_Love

Soiree was a whole load of fun and best part won the Female best dress gift :)

Have a great week ahead everyone and Happy new month!!

N'omose (Beautiful)

Hey bellas how are you all doing? I traveled this past weekend and I felt like a huge part of me was missing since I had no access to Internet for like four days so I could not wait to jump on my laptop and read blogs and of course do a Sunday post. I helped my sis move to GA so pretty much we drove 11 States in 3 days and It was a whole load of fun driving from Northeast to Southeast  and luckily enough hurricane Sandy did not hit us on the way. If you are on the East coast hope you and your love ones are well and safe.

Sunday morning 10/28 was all about N'omose Couture, I really wanted to wear a bib Neck-piece so the rest of the outfit was basically working around the neck-piece.

These H & M  pants are one of my easy grab and goal pants considering the fact that i'm really a  skirts and dresses type 

8 out of 10 times you would catch me in print earring, I probably have over 40 pairs that I rotate with 

I smile because He made my life so beautiful

Besitos

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Ankara Craze

 The sun came out to play a little and so did I. For an Ankara crazy girl like me, a simple Ankara dress is a must have so I am wearing this Ankara print dress I got from my sister a while back with a cardigan an to stay warm as the weather changes throughout the day.

I would definitely rock this dress to Church on a casual Sunday 

These earrings are one of my favorites

One of my daily to go bags

Leaping for joy....Sometimes we grow old but the child play part in us never leaves

Shout out  and thank to Ms. FollyHoney for nominating me for the Liebster Award! Will be doing a post on it soonest  so stay tune. In the mean time check out my Seven Things post to learn a few things about me.
