I Love Weekends Like This...

Happy Sunday to you all. Hope your weekend was a great one! While busy, I did enjoy mine. I must share with you some good news before I get into my weekend happenings. To my surprised, when I turned on my phone after church I received an email that I was featured on The Looks for Less website. I submitted my outfit awhile ago and kinda forgot I did it so it was such a joy to see that I was indeed featured! See the link, HERE, or click on the picture. Also, a huge shout out to Cortnie over at, StyleLust pages for her beautiful bag. It's definitely one of my faves from her collection. Check out her other clutches, HERE.


Now onto the what I was up to this weekend. I attended the Style Tour, featuring Stacy London, at the Montgomery Mall here in MD. My mother and sister joined me and it was such a fun experience. While we weren't able to meet Stacy, I did take a few pics of her. She is really tiny in person...and she died her hair like a dark brown and I could barley recognize her. LOL. However, she looked well put together and seemed very warm and kind as she talked to her fans. I also LOVED her shoes...wish I would've taken a pic of those, LOL! 

After we took pictures, my mom and I made our appointments for our mini-makeover and 1-on-1 style consultation. The mini-makeover was great and rather educational, due to the fact that I don't wear much make-up to begin with, lol. I LOVED my eyes, which I took a picture of below. The Sephora make-up artist and I really hit it off and she was such a sweetheart. She gave me some great tips! Then, once I finished my mom and I went for our consultations. They style-for-hire stylist was great! I told her a few things about myself in about a minute or less and she came back with clothes that fit my sense of style to almost perfectly! She suggested certain colors for my skin tone, as well as styles for me to wear to work and then for casual. Also, they gave my mom and I a print out as far as certain items to purchase with the prices, and store locations included! I have the print out and plan on keeping it for my future shopping trips.

To conclude everything, we looked for dresses for lil sis for her upcoming appearances and events. She was quite a handful while trying on different dresses. Miss Taylor is the ultimate mini fashionista; has an opinion about everything as far as the color, the bow, the cut and style of a dress...EVERYTHING! LOL...that girl is something else. I also went to the Washington Wizards game Saturday with the hubby. He and I had a blast! This was a late b-day gift to him, thanks to my cousin who has season tickets ;-) We enjoyed good food, good times most importantly enjoyed one another. Today, we went to church and ate and our favorite diner afterwards. I was craving one of their delicious waffles! LOL. The rest of the day, we pretty much chilled, meaning we watched movies and took a nap, lol. 


WHEW! Well I suppose that about sums up my weekend. Thanks, as always, for reading and be sure to check me out on Instagram (@msnicjames) and Facebook. XXOO & be blessed!
