OVER 100 Followers!!!!

Wow! I've reached over 100 followers, what a milestone! I want to send a huge thank you to all of my supporters. It's one thing to say that 100 of your IRL friends are following your blog and reading and commenting on your material, but it's really something when you have 100 + complete strangers tuning in to hear what you have to say and to follow along through your life journey. You all are awesome and I just want to thank each of you, for every comment, every tweet and every email, it truly means a lot to me-we started out as random bloggers and ended up as friends. You have to know when you're winning, and baby I know I am!

My First Blog Award!

Well, well, well, what do we have here?!?



Oh my, ITS A LIEBSTER AWARD {note the caps, I'm screaming with excitement}!

For those of you who don't know {raises hand shyly, as she looks around the classroom- um, I didn't know} It's an award given to up and coming bloggers who have 200 followers or less. The word Leibster is a german term of endearment. The award is generally presented by other fellow bloggers who  enjoy reading your material.

I'd like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to my lovely blog buddy Amy Michelle for nominating me-This is my first blog award and boy does it feel awesome to be thought of.

When you're nominated for the Liebster Award,  there are a few simple rules you should follow if you decide you want to accept--here's what you need to do:


I) Post 11 random things about yourself

   II) Answer the 11 questions the nominator has asked

      III) Nominate 11 Bloggers w/less than 200 followers & include their link in your post
       
          IV) Create 11 questions of your own to ask the people you nominate

             V) Notify the nominees of their award (no-brainer, right?)

                VI)  And lastly, you can't nominate the person that nominates you


 Now that thats all clear…. lets get this party started {in my M.C. Hammer voice}


Randomness:

I believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he died for our sins and transgressions



I own a ton of nail polish and I have YET to polish my oswn nails (I need to do better y'all)


I didn't "Need" a Keurig until I started blogging, now I can't begin my day until I've had me"K-cup"




I'm thankful that Amy Michelle  nominated me for this award, I really appreciate you thinking of me :)




One of my favorite desserts is ice cream, yummo


I get PISSED OFF to the fifth power when my fur-baby reconfigures my pumps with his teeth, but I find it photo worthy when he gets a hold of my hubby's shoes


These are the people  who motivate me to be the best ME I can possibly be, and to accomplish the goals I set for myself this year.   Meet my handsome hubby and our darling children (they all drive me crazy but I love them to life)




I can't resist a sale…hence the reason, I'm about to head out to the VS Semi-Annual Sale


People say life doesn't come with a manual; well, for me the Bible is good enough



I am totally Hooked on Scandal



I love to read books and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Fifty Shades trilogy




(whew, gotta speed things up a bit so the pics stop here)


Answers to Amy Michelle's Questions (click here to see the questions):

Spa treatments in a nice ambient environment, followed by a good book and a martini cup of coffee or tea = superb relaxation

Fav Starbucks drink = Carmel Brûlée Latte

Where I want to vacation = Negril Jamaica

Fav Pass-time  w/ fam = Watching Movies and baking delightful treats

What I like about spring = Spring to me is the equivalent of what  New Years means to most people, it's like a new beginning, flowers bloom, the butterflies dance around the flower beds. I sip on pink lemonade and try different springy recipes- and I get to slide into my fab sundresses, open toe sandals, sunglasses, and big floppy hats 

What I dislike about spring = Love + Bug; I hate those nasty little things. They. Freak. Me. Out. Seriously!

I take my Christmas decor down after Jan 7th

FB or Twitter- Um, Facebook I guess, Lol

Do I sponsor with anyone- No, not yet.  Maybe sometime in the future

I dont' really make resolutions but my goals are simple:
Have a more intimate relationship with God
Focus on my education

My Questions: 

Whats your fav restaurant?
What would a perfect date night consist of?
If you could pick a celebrity to hang-out with, who would it be?
What's your fav movie or book?
Do you prefer to shop in a store or online?
What three words best describe you?
Whats your fav perfume right now?
Victoria Secret or Fredrick's of Hollywood?
What's your most used Christmas gift?
Do you have a fav handbag?
Which do you prefer, iPhone or Android (or neither)?

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?
