Happy Heart Day & More…

Happy Heart Day y'ALL

Hope you guys were able to spend some time with the ones you love. As for me I pretty much worked all day and hung out with the family. Huz and I  plan on having an official date night this weekend. With the kids and all of their after school events, it's pretty complicated for us to get out during the weekdays- hopefully I'll have something interesting to share on Saturday{fingers crossed}

Until then, I'll leave you all with a few pictures of my "Work Wear"


                                       {YELLOW, RED, & LEOPARD}












Ha! I had lost my balance in this shot, but I think its a good shot of my bun, so I figured I'd share it anyway, :)

See Ya Later Sunday, Hello Monday!

Welp, it's here!  Monday is back on the scene, and boy did it get here QUICK.

I can't   won't complain though, everything is good on the home-front. My weekend was spent doing what I love most- spending time with my family. I'll go ahead and throw it out there that this is how most of my weekends are spent. I'm away from home so much during the week,  that when the weekend arrives, I really want to enjoy my babies-all five of them (the huz, my three children and my fur baby).

I was off this Friday so I pretty much lounged the day away-I probably should have taken advantage of the beautiful weather, but I just didn't want to leave the house. On Saturday hubs and I spent a little QT at the shooting range…  WE REALLY ENJOYED EACH OTHER. We use to go all the time (when we were dating), but life happened and we kinda fell of track. Surprisingly, after all these years, my aim is still on point! I feel pretty darn good about it too- Ha!

After the range, we   I did a little shopping, I needed a pair of flats because my pup got a hold of my Ivanka Trump flats, and TORE. THEM. TO. SHREDS. I purchased those shoes just weeks ago, can you say PISSED OFF!!!

Anyhow, after the shopping, we meet up with our friends Monica and Troy for a movie date.  Although we were planning to see "Parker" we saw "Identity Theif" instead (because we arrived a little late)… the movie was just okay in my opinion, but the other people in the theater really seemed to think it was outrageously funny. I don't know; maybe it was me, maybe I left my sense of humor at home or something, but I'd rate it a 4 out of 10.

                                                            {Here's What I Wore}

                                                Janelle Monae Inspired "HAIR" I absolutely LOVE her



                                                                      {SIDE VIEW}




I have a little criss-cross action going on in the back… it was really easy to do too. Whew, I finally got manageable hair, Lol!!!
                             













 Ok, I LOVED the feel of this shirt! When I saw it, it took me back to the 80's, I HAD to have it! I'm an 80's Baby for crying out loud. On another note, I know y'all don't work for Allstate, but I need a little accident forgiveness on these pictures… My fridge happens to be COVERED in FINGER PRINTS… ughhhh! I guess the secrets out, we don't walk around with gloves on, and although we clean the doors regularly, it's hopeless-- the kids just won't stay away. They are constantly putting their little fingers on EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY the fridge 








 THESE SHOES Though…. aren't they saying something!!! I still love these as much as I did when I first purchased them… they're going down in my book of "FAB History"

The rest of the weekend was pretty chill, we went to church and got some much needed food for thought. After that the kids  and I went to the park to hang out for a while

This is/was one incredible woman- she definitely took a stand for what she believed in, even when the odds were stacked against her-her courage is definitely worth remembering.

    "Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood." ~ Josephine Baker

Houndstooth…. Um, Classic! Scandal…Um, Addictive


Guess who's bizack!!!! ME--->DUH, lol. Your girl is back on the scene. I've really missed y'all too,  It's been FOREVER since we've kicked it. I am SO.  FREAKING.  HAPPY.  TO HAVE MY "NORMAL" BACK. Anyway, I'd been on the look out for a houndstooth dress for some time now. I didn't want anything over the top; I just wanted something SIMPLE and work appropriate. As easy as this may seem, it was really hard. I don't know what it is but a lot of times when I'm looking for that certain something, I can't find it anywhere--well, that is, until I stopped searching.


& Boy-Oh-Bo

When I STOPPED SEARCHING…. 

                                      I found L.O.V.E

                                LOVE IN HOUNDSTOOTH THAT IS…

 DO U LOVE THIS LOOK AS MUCH AS I DO…. I mean, this dress is totally ME














**What I'm Wearing**
Dress: APT 9 (Kohls)
This dress was originally priced at 79.00, I bagged it for $18.88- NOT EVEN $20.00
Boots: Signature Report (old)
Earrings: Jennifer Lopez (Kohls)
Neckalace: Lady Dazzle



NOW, ON TO SCANDAL…

Ok, so was it good or was it GOOD ?!? Oh YES, it was GOOD hun-ty...

So many secrets, so much drama,  soooo CAN'T WAIT to see it next THURSDAY check out the promo



I don't know about y'all but I LOVE ME SOME HARRISON, especially when he's doing his "Gladiators in suits" spill, I mean come on ladies, he's one handsome young man


He definitely gave Abby a few things to think about. I really felt bad for her, I wish she didn't have to sacrifice love, AGAIN… that really sucked, but I guess that's what true "Gladiators" do

And "Mr. President" as Olivia refers to him,  told Liv NOT to wait for him, I. WAS. CRUSHED! … I couldn't believe what I was hearing. yes, I wanted them to be together, I mean they complete each other. I'm not sure what to expect from FITZ, he's not the same man he use to be… especially since he has blood on his hands now… 

And of course I can't leave out the whole "Nobody likes babies" comment-- Mellie is just something else isn't she… em, em, em #SHAME 


I guess, we'll just have to see what happens next won't we… LORD KNOWS I'll be waiting :)

Holiday Party Dress...

I wanted to post these pics but I never got around to it… Here's what I wore to our annual holiday party












Purple Kisses :-)


What I'm Wearing:
Ralph Lauren Gown (Macy's)
Ivanka Trump Sandals (Macy's)
Diamond Stud Earrings
Cocktail Ring (old)
Bangles (bebe)

So, what do you think…. 


Cute But Comfy...

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

 It's been forever since we've talked (we won't point any fingers or go into why I've been MIA for so long, whats most important is that I'm back, right :) 

Anyhow, I've been doing a lot of shopping lately (for the holidays of course) and I thought it would be cool to share one of my holiday shopping outfits with you all. When I'm out shopping, comfort is ALWAYS KEY.  I felt like being playful, so I mixed a few solids and prints and this is what I got… Voila!
                       

                        I absolutely LOVE hats and scarves during the winter months...










What I'm Wearing:
Leopard Hat (Bakers)
Off Shoulder Sweater (VS)
Tank (VS)
MK Sling Bag (B-day gift from my friend Tiffany) 
Coach Boots (Old)
Scarf (Macy's)

What do you like to wear when you're out and about? Is comfort a factor for you, or do you lean more towards the notion that pain is beauty

Thursday Hues of Blues (OOTD)

Thank GOD it's THURSDAY!  I don't know about y'alI; but I EARNED my paycheck this week, you hear me... A sistah worked hard for the moolah. I'm sooooo looking forward to my three-day weekend. This was an ExTrEmEly BUSY work week. I feel like I just played mental ping-pong for 10 hours, everytime I knocked one task out, another one followed. Anyway, enough about that-  Todays feauture outfit is simple. I'm wearing a cream ruffle knit top, blue jeans, a khaki colored blazer, pumps and a few accessories.


                      Take 1 (those aren't backpacks in the corner, thats just a  figment of your imagination)

Take 2 (much better right?)

                                               Em, em, em, that girl has an arch on huh


Vince Camuto Cap Toe Pump: Retail $138.00
                                             

                                                    Ebay Auction: Sold for $33 smackaroos



                                          Acessories are the key to adding the finishing touch to your outfit

Acessories are also another way of expressing yourself, I love this set, it's soooo "Maya" bold yet refreshing
this was definitely a happy purchase
Necklace: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Ring: Simply Vera by VeraWang
Earrings: Lauren Conrad
All items were purchased from Kohls w/ Kohls Cash, this wasn't a deal chile it was a StEAL...FREE acessories, um...Yes Please 

Well love-bugs, thats it for me. What do you think of my look? Are the "Hues of Blues" as refreshing for you as they were for me?
