Facebook Friday: Colorful and Summery

Welcome to Friday my friends! All I have to say about this week is, "WHEW!". Without out getting into the details, this week was rather emotional and crazy. But I can honestly say that I feel 100% better and I am ready to start my weekend! As crazy as the week was, it ended on a great note; I won 2 tickets to the Curves Rock Weekend Runway Fashion Show this Saturday, thanks to Curvy CEO. I can't wait to go and see all the lovely models, bloggers, and other participants. HUGE thanks to Kim...see ya tomorrow ;-)

Onto my FBF post---today I took Eva Longoria and Jessica Alba's looks and re-created them into looks I would wear. I really like the color green and when I saw Eva's look I knew I could make it "my own". However, my fave look is Jessica's. While her look is very clean and more dressy than my creation, I love the simplicity of her look. When I recreated it, I thought of doing a maxi because I always go to a maxi dress when the weather is warm. My fave color is orange so I added some bold accessories and gave two shoe options, both I would wear.

So, what's your favorite look??? Which look can you see yourself re-creating to fit your taste??? Enjoy them both, and have a great day. Be blessed...

Facebook Friday: Denim & Lace

Well hello there!!! It's GREAT to be back!!! I've missed you all and I pray all has been well with you. As most of you know, I was in FL last week for my sisters national pageant. I am happy to say that she won her title and the trip was nothing short of AMAZING! I met a lot of great people, lil sis had a ball, and so did the fam. I will do an in depth post a bit later but that's a brief overview ;-)

I decided to take another week off from blogging, just to regroup in hopes to come back strong and better than ever! Sometimes is good to step away from things...it gives your mind a break and allows you to catch up on other things.

Now let's get to today's Facebook Friday! These two outfits remind me of what I wore while in FL. I was determined to be super comfy during the day because I knew I'd be running around. The first is such a classic summery look---denim, colorful bottoms and minimal jewelry. I added the oxfords and bulky watch in my recreation to give it a masculine look, yet included simple gold studs and a nude/pink lip to give it that feminine touch. The second look is another simple look to achieve. Skinny jeans are a MUST HAVE (for all seasons), and when paring it with a lace top it adds a romantic look. The animal print flats are fun, and the crochet bag screams SUMMER!

As usual, I love them both but my fave is Rachel Roy. I'm really into colorful denim/pants this season and denim is always a plus. Which is YOUR favorite???

Facebook Friday: Olivia Wilde & Curves

It's finally here...FRIDAY!!! Boy has it been a long, crazy, off and all of the place kind of week. However, I am happy and blessed to have seen it through. I haven't shared all of my happenings here on the blog lately, but I do however update my Twitter and Facebook accounts regularly so if you'd like to know what I'm up when I'm not blogging, feel free to follow me there.

I will share one thing though---this week, my mother sister and I had a 6am call time for a movie, coming out in 2013. My sister, who is a budding actress ;-) had her first on set experience and of course, my mom and I joined her. And who was on the set??? None other than Oliva Wilde and Sam Rockwell! It's funny because I thought I'd be more starstruck, but I was actually really cool. Okay, when I first realized it was them, I did get a bit taken aback but after being on the set all day (11 hours) with them, the fanatical side of me calmed down, LOL. The other actors, extras, directors and producers were EXTREMELY nice and helpful. Not only did the crew provide (hot) breakfast and lunch, but they also had a lavish spread of GOOD snacks!! I'm talking veggie straws, donuts, chips, pretzels, Twizzlers, cracker packs, water, tea, candy...ENDLESS! I can honestly see how "stars" struggle to stay fit while filming. The food choices are just insane, lol! And I did see Miss Wilde sneak back a few times to the snack table herself---but hey, we're all human right?? ;-)

Anyway, I thought it was only right to recreate one of Olivia's looks for FBF today. This is my second look I've seen with her wearing a relaxed maxi look and I am loving it (see another maxi look, HERE). I added my own little twists, of course, and I am actually hoping to literally recreate my look once I look through my closet. I think I have a few of the pieces...we shall see. 


The last look is A Girl with Curves, Tanesha. I featured her HERE before as well. As a curvy blogger, I love the way she dresses her body and I admire the way she wears the latest trends. Her looks are always very practical and well put together---truly inspiring! I hope you enjoy my recreation of her look! 


Enjoy the pics and feel free to let me know which look is you fave. Have a great (4 day) weekend :-)
