Sooo, as most of you know I have been participating in the 30 for 30 challenge. It's been a great way to get to know other bloggers, and I hope you all have gotten to know me a little better as well. Thanks to The Seventh District for starting the challenge; it's been so much fun! I am almost done with the days, so enjoy this post and stay tuned for the last 30 for 30 post (Days 26-30).

Day 24: Something that Means A lot to Me
This is a letter my mother wrote me the first time I stayed away from home. I won a Journalism Scholarship through University of Maryland, College Park one summer and stayed on campus for a few weeks to learn all things Journalism. While it was one of the greatest experiences, I was so nervous to be away from my family. I was in the 10th grade and my family was so happy and proud of me. Before I left, my mom gave me the letter and told me to open it when my first night. She is the best and always knows exactly what to say to get me through any and every situation.

CapFABB Style Challenge: Leather

TGIF!!! I hope the week has been good to you all.

I recently joined CapFABB (Capital Area Fashion & Beauty Bloggers) as a way to network with bloggers in the area. Check out the challenge post here and be sure to check the page to see how others decided to participate in the challenge. It's been fun reading and responding to emails.

A few days ago, we were emailed about a fashion challenge focusing on leather. The first thing I thought of was wearing one of my leather jackets. I am a sucker for a nice leather jacket. So today, I wore my purple one; compliments of my mother ;-) I asked if she knew where she got it from but, she couldn't remember. Nonetheless, its a perfect piece and it is SO comfortable. I thought it was going to be too big at first, but once I tried it on, I didn't want to take it off! I love the way it flares at the waist. 

I didn't have a photographer at the time so I had to rely on my phone, while in the dressing room at Marshall's, LOL. Hope its clear enough for you!

Take care and enjoy the rest of your Friday!
