Resolutions

Well, hello there lovelies! I know, I know, It's been a long time but school has honestly been kicking my butt. I have been busier that ever with life and....EVERYTHING. I promise I will be back with full force next semester but for now this is my last post of year. 

As the year draws slowly to an end, I am re-evaluating my life, my priorities, my friends, the decisions I've and the person I have become. I have realized that it is okay to change but the question I ask myself is, am I a better person now than I was last year? have I grown? Honestly, I don't know but I do know that I have more time to become the woman I want to be and I am not there yet. So my journey continues and until I reach my peak I will work harder than ever. 

I have had an amazing year and I am hoping next year is even better. I am letting go of everything(and everyone) that has hurt me and embracing all the AMAZING memories I have made. I have learned that you can't be good at everything, you can't be loved and understood by everyone, and you need to accept those that actually DO care for, love, understand and accept you, flaws and all. Most importantly live life for yourself and not for anyone else. Life is way too short to be living out some else's dreams; it is way too short to be living life to please any one but yourself.

Strive to make our world better, strive to BE better, strive to LIVE your dreams. There is no easy way out. Some of you think we are still young but the truth is we start building our values right here, right now. What do you stand for?

To all of you, 

Happy Finals

Happy Holidays

Have a  HAPPY HAPPY and BLESSED New Year

and please please stay safe where ever you are.

Yours Forever,

Marcie

Courtyard Strolls

This weekend was beyond awesome! I FINALLY got to do all the touristy stuff I've been talking about doing since I got here. I went to the French Quarters, ate beignets and drank cafe au lait at the Cafe Du Monde, walked on Canal Street, dined at the famous Pat O'Briens, got drunk on Bourbon Street and last but certainly not least, I shopped (I really went in) on Magazine Street. I feel like a whole new woman now :) I have to be up really early tomorrow :/ so I'm heading to bed extra early tonight since I didn't get much sleep this weekend.....but only after the BET awards :) (KANYE AND JAYZ WON AN AWARD ALREADY!!! AHHHHH!! :D :D......ok I'm done)


Faith features again this week looking hot as always as she rocks those floral print pants. I always like to wear print/floral items with solid colors to balance everything out, otherwise, if not done right, too many different prints could look a little messy. However, there are certain people who really know how to mix prints well and if you are one of them (I'm not lol) go for it :). This is a really simple everyday look you could pull off just as nicely with a pair of flats or sandals (black, nude or a pop of color, which would be perfect for summer) or glam it up a little for a nice lunch or dinner with a pair of heels. Get with those printed pants they are most definitely hot this season. These pants from Zara are my current obsession and they are their way to me as we speak :). you should be seeing them in an upcoming post. Colored jeans are also in especially those pastel-colored and neon ones. These shorts will also be in a post next week so check it out to see what I pair them with.

 Leonie will also feature again along with my first male guest so get excited and tell your guy friends to check le blog. I should be back on here next week YAYYY!! :). I finally got some pictures taken so soon I should be active. Special thanks to Faith and Leonie (and to my surprise male feature) for helping me out while I got settled in, I really appreciate it :)  It will be just me starting end of next week but Faith and Leonie will definitely be back :).

HAPPY MONDAYYY :)

Rain on Red

my little cousins trying sneak up on me lol

This weekend was.....an adventure! But most of what happened will remain my little secret :). What I will tell you is it was plenty, plenty fun but it's time to get back to work :/

Today it rained and it was cold and I didn't feel like doing anything :/ I pretty much stayed in bed most of the day except for lunch with my family! Have I ever mentioned I hate cold weather? Today I decided to go comfortable and casual to lunch with my red plaid shirt and a really cool pair of pants from zara that are part waxed denim and part spandex. I completed the look with my gold cuffs and necklace (as always). Did you notice, I finally straightened my hair! Today, I just did it! lol


It's almost Mondayyy! :) HAPPY MONDAY! lol :/ Have a good week! :)


Yours Truly,

Marcie
