Casual & Comfy

Happy 'Hump Day'! I hope you've all had a great week thus far. Mine has been pretty good; no complaints. Aside from working, I have been spending a lot of time preparing for my engagement party which is coming up in a few weeks. I've also had my first "official" meetings with a few wedding people and I am just SOO excited about the ideas and whatnot. I will be doing a post soon about showing a few of my wedding ideas so far. I did one (HERE) a while ago but now, my ideas are more focused; what a relief!

As far as my outfit in this post, I wore this yesterday after work to shop and hang out with my cousin, his friend and my fiance'. We went to see some tuxedos and suit options for the wedding, and then I branched off and went to the Ulta Beauty store so spend some of my gift card money :-) The outfit was laid back and for once, I was able to wear my Love, Cortnie bag and my new earrings from EBay. I was watching an episode of Love & Hip-Hop and I saw Chrissy wearing a pair of gorgeous leaf earrings (photo below). So I went on a mission to find some similar. When I saw these, I knew I had to grab them. They are light wight, and I love the copper/bronze tone they have. Mission accomplished ;-) 

I hope you enjoy the effects on a few pics. I am having a BALL with this new camera and new Picsa (free) photo editing. I am getting the hang of it. Take care & enjoy the rest of what's left of the day/evening. Blessings!

Windy Mess & Something Different

Hey followers! Let me just say that today was SOOO windy. I was trying to take pics outside and the wind was literally making me angry. LOL. You ever try to get that "wind in you hair" pic? Well, I tried and failed! There went my idea for a bunch of outdoor photos. I did manage to get one good one, but finished the rest inside.

Although I have posted this outfit on my page before, (outfit seen HERE) I wanted to do something different and try out my new heels. I usually grab flats because they're without a doubt more comfy to me than heels. But, I wanted to jazz it up a bit so, heels it was. I really love these new shoes. They're VERY comfy and just adorable for this season. I also carried another Love, Cortnie original. I just LOVE the pattern of this clutch.

Enjoy the pics and have a great holiday weekend! Save some turkey for me ;-)

Royal Leggings & Stripes

Today was a good day :-) I accomplished a lot, worked hard, and I feel a lot better. And because today was the day of the Royal Wedding, I had to throw it in the title, lol. Yes, I watched and teared up and thought the ceremony was just lovely! Can't wait until my day comes :-)

Back on the home front (Maryland), the weather was lovely; slight breeze and sunny so I went for a comfy look. I LOVE stripes, and I LOVE my leggings so I figured this outfit was a must. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and talk to you soon.

Oversized & the New Bag!

Soooo, the weather these past few days has been up and down. And yes, I wore tan....AGAIN! LOL. I am going to break into color slowly but surly, no worries ;-)

Anyway, with the unpredictable weather, I still wanted to look half way cute (lol). So i decided to go with my FAVORITE outfit: my tan over sized sweater, black leggings and flats. An outfit like this is perfect for rainy days, "blah" days, or anything in between. The sweater is by Michael Kors and was 75% off at Macy's when I bought it off season a few summers ago. It is SO comfy and so soft. And leggings, well c'mon. What girl doesn't love them??!! I was also dying to wear my new bag and it was a perfect addition. I fit my usual "purse things" in the bag, AND my books for school! Can you say, "WINNING!!!".
