My 3 Fashion PICKS of the Week!

#1. Blake Lively in Versace-You go Gossip Girl! I love this look from head to toe, and man is she working it! I love her body, the attitude she is giving in that pose, the simplicity of her hair, makeup, and jewels, and the dress is absolutely beautiful! Now thats something to gossip about!

#2. Victoria Beckham in Louis Vuitton-oh so Posh! I love the simple elegance of the hair and makeup which is only appropriate for such a "wow" dress.

#3. Ivanka Trump in Brian Reyes-Its different...I probably couldnt get away with wearing it, lol...but on Ivanka it works....very chic and classy.

Ive Got the BLUES...

Ive noticed lately that when Ive been shopping or looking around for nice going out dresses Ive been gravitating towards the color blue. I thought it was kind of weird since I didnt really think I was a fan of the color to begin with. I guess it all started when I "discovered" blue nail polish last fall, lol. Everyone was wearing these dark and rich brown and black colors and for some reason I just couldnt get with it, so I opted to try blue...lo and behold I fell in love:). I loved the way the color seemed to just make my fingers and toes pop, even though it was a dark color. And then as the season changed I found a new aqua blue which was lighter for spring time but seemed to have the same pizzazz. Ive since added three new blue dresses to my wardrobe and even have a blue flower accessory to adorn my hair with. I dont know ladies, but there is just something about this blue color this season...and its not just the regular blue, but the blueish greens, and the aquamarines as well....Im drawn to it everytime I go shopping, lol...

As I perused the internet this morning, I came across pictures from the 2009 Costume Institute Gala Red Carpet and was pleased to see that Im not the only one with the blues lately...

YOU need a change in FOCUS

I've seen the phrase, "I'm so glad I got laid off!" across the net lately and it is actually quite comical in a sense but also a statement of revelation. Ever since the recession has made staggering change in American's lives many people have been forced unwilling to make significant adjustments in their daily lives including me. The news bombards you daily with stories of the swine flu making everyone wear those sanitary masks over their faces, recession, unemployment and other issues of global warfare. It is all very disheartening BUT the good news is that God remains certain in HIS promises to us even in our times of uncertainty. I personally am very uncommonly calm about my personal pursuits. Although I have never been one to panick I just trust that God has a better plan for me. I am taking this time to pursue my dream of working for myself. I know that I can do it and with all that I have learned over the years from working in corporate america it just seems so attainable to me now moreso than ever before. I believe that I will succeed in my endeavors and I even started to look up pursuing government bids for design jobs. I'm at the hurry up and wait point right now but the rainbow is yet so near....... I don't want to feel like I'm trapped by a glass ceiling and running in the rat race ever again. How about you? Do you need a change in focus?

No MUFFIN TOP for Momma

Halle was dubbed as the Show stopper of the week on concreteloop and I would have to agree. She has always looked great but hands down after child birth she looks amazing to me! No muffin top for momma! I want to look like her when I grow up. Today I ran around my subdivision, up and down the hills, so much so that I felt nauseated when I returned home but I am more than determined to lose this gut and strut my stuff this summer. No more muffin top for me!
