"Bubba & Brady"

I wanted to share some pictures from the photo shoot we did last week with the boys and introduce you to Bubba James Hoskins and Brady Franklin Tucker.( LOL @ the names I know). Bubba is my baby and he is the  black and white Shih Tzu, Brady is my roommate's baby.

As you can see my Bubba  unlike myself is very photogenic. He is a spoiled monster but it's my fault and I love him to death anyway.

Unfortunately since airline pet fees have skyrocketed Bubba no longer gets to travel in style with his mommy.

Thanks Sam for taking such awesome pictures of our sons!! Your the best!!!!





"Sneaks & Shih Tzu's"

Last Sunday my good friend Sam wanted to do a photo shoot with my and my roommate's dog to put on his Website. Since my roommate's dog Brady is certified ADHD I had to help him. He snapped a few pics of what I wore that day.

As you see I am not prejudice when it comes to sneakers..LOL. When I say I am a shoe addict, this includes hot sneaks as well. My go to casual/comfy outfit when running quick errands on the weekend most of the time includes a pair of Vans, Chucks (Converse) or Adidas.

"Happy Pink New Year"

As many of you already know my favorite colors are pink and purple, so it was really no question that I had to purchase these Jessica Simpson's in the new "Bermuda Pink" color.

Jessica's shoes are super comfortable and so haute! I already have these in the Cobalt Blue and Miami Green colors worn Here, and honestly I am thinking about getting the orange ones as well. I think they are such a timeless, classic, beautiful shoe that can really add that extra POP to any outfit.  Definitely a good purchase.

I hope everyone is enjoying 2012!! I want to say hello to my new followers/readers and thank you all for supporting my blog!! xoxoxoxo

"December 31,2011"

I can't believe 2012 is actually here!! NYE was bitter sweet for me because I was supposed to be in Houston with my "Sex in the City" crew aka besties aka sisters aka best friends for 13 years strong celebrating but I ended up being stuck here in Atlanta.=0(. I was really looking forward to hanging with my girls,painting the town red, and wearing a freak em dress..LOL.  

On NYE I hung out with my other bestie/sister/roommate and my big homie Sam. We ended up going to a house party which was a low key good look and this is what I wore.

Sam is the one who usually takes my pictures with his amazing camera. I gave him the night off and just used my cell phone for these pics...LOL. He recently started doing photography and is really good if I must say because I am really really not photogenic. If you are in the Atlanta area and are looking for a photographer you should definitely check him out. You can see more of his work Here . HNY!!!!

"Colorful Hump Day"

On Wednesday night I went to dinner to celebrate my employee's 21st bday and this is what I wore.

As you can probably tell  from many of my posts I am in love with bright colors and wear them all season long. 

As we close 2011 and I reflect I can't help but get emotional when I think about how much God has blessed me and how awesome He is. NEVER in a million years would I have thought I would move from employee to employer. He has kept me, my family, my friends,  my business covered, and is continuing to bless me above and abundantly in ways that just  blow my mind. 2011 has had challenges and there have been days where the  little black cloud lingers above my head a little longer than normal, but one thing is for certain, It always passes or He gives me the strength to make it through.

I Hope everyone has a safe and blessed new year! xoxo

"Denim Mini"

The weather in Atlanta has been so crazy! One day its 73 degrees and sunny and  the next day it's in the 40's or raining heavy. It was nice during the Christmas weekend so I was able to wear this denim mini dress.

I've had it for awhile, but thought it was a little too short for my liking to be worn casually, so I decided to pair it with some tights.

I am so sad to say that we have only  3 more days in 2011 and this is the first time I have carried this purse this year. I bought it about for years ago. It was my very first "grown woman handbag" purchase. I worked really hard to save for it,but now rarely carry it because it is just so big and deep, it's just not as functional as my other large bags.. Still love it though because it's a classic.

"Turquoise Love"

For Christmas this year I treated myself to a new pair of JC's! You may remember these beauties from my shoe wish list post I did a few weeks ago.

I wear my other Litas  to death, so I was beyond excited when these arrived in the mail. The Lita is the greatest shoe made!! They are soooo comfortable, an amazing height, and go with absolutely everything..what more could a girl ask for?

My ABSOLUTE favorite nail color in the world next to black and white is this color from Essie called "Mint Candy Apple" I wear it so much that I actually had to take a break from it...LOL. But the arrival of my new shoes made me go right back to my old faithful  polish.

"Leopard and Pleates"

I was going through my computer and found these pics that I forgot to post. I found these super comfortable pleated pants at Forever 21 about 2 weeks ago.

As much as I love and prefer heels, some days my feet need a serious break.  I wore this outfit on one of those days where I felt like dressing up sans the 5 inch heels.

I have had these shoes for about 3 years I call them my " MJ's" they are the perfect dress down shoe!

I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC holiday! God Bless xoxoxoxo

"Rainbow Brite"

As you all know I am a certified thrift store junkie, with that being said about 50% of my closet are thirfted finds. I found this Tahari pleated mini skirt at a Goodwill about a few months ago. I LOVE bright colors so I paired it with this blouse (also thrifted). When I saw this shirt the first thing that I thought of was Rainbow Brite...LOL. I was so in love with her and Strawberry Shortcake as a little girl.

I can't believe Christmas is in five days and the end of 2011 is in 11 days!! Really where did the year go??

"Inspired Look-December"

In an effort to be creative and wear all the clothes in my closet I decided to do an "Inspired Look" each month where I use a celebrity and try to recreate the outfit with items in my own closet. This month I chose one of my favorite artists in the entire world ( next to her hubby of course...LOL) Ms. Beyonce Knowles - Carter.

I think I did ok for my first time..LOL I'm headed to Salt Lake City for the weekend to see my family! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
