MoringaConnect

Over the past year, a friend of mine has been working on a social venture that helps farmers on the continent growing food on about a football field worth of land generate the income they need to improve the quality of their lives. These farmers make up 3/4 of the worlds poorest people and they've designed technologies and a process that can change that, starting with processing seeds from a miraculous tree called moringa. His team is in the IDEAS Competition and with your votes they could win $1500 toward their work this summer. Please check out their project, MoringaConnect, and vote for us:

Chestnut Hill in the Blue Dress

Amazing Photos by Ramzi Yamusah! :) I'm completely in love with them

Fun in the "sun". It was cold, windy... and cold and I was wearing a thin blue dress (not the best combo). We made the most of it though. Special thanks to helper 1 and helper 2 (Marietta and Armstrong), they really held their through it. Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

Another collaboration with Ramzi and I must say he completely blew me away with the photos. I love all the pictures he sent, it was hard picking my favorite ones especially since all of them were AH-mazing! Looking forward to more collaborations for le blog! Check out his work at http://www.mr233gq.com/

About the look, it's a simple dress for s simple night out with the girls. I found those shoes at Steve Madden and for all of you obsessed with the CL Pigalle pump this is a REALLY good look alike. It's also pretty comfortable :)


The weekend is over but we have next weekend to look forward to...right? lol OH and don't forget to like my facebook page for blog updates just click here


HAPPY MONDAY



Your Truly,

It's Spring?

I was having a bad hair day and didn't know what to do with it so I did everything with it. Plus, it was soooo windy ugh. Is this even Spring? geez!

 My pseudo spring break look. I'm acting like I'm going somewhere warm - my final destination this year is Minnesota...yup....Minnesota. I'm not complaining though because I get to see my ADORABLE nephew and my sister :D. The Bahamas can wait till another time.

Bright colors, geometric print and Black&white are trending this spring. OH and how could I forget strappy sandals

Anyhu, HAPPY HAPPY Spring Break to my fellow MIT-ers and to anyone who happens to have their spring break as late us ours.


HAPPY MONDAY

Yours Truly,

Baroque Me!

Two must-haves this season are Baroque prints and nude strappy sandals to compliment your spring/summer dresses.

In true Steve Madden style my nude shoes are a very good look-a-like for the Schutz spiked sandal heel which was priced at about $300. Steve Madden offers them for only a third of that price.

You can tone this look down some more by wearing silver or nude flats  or even adding gold accents instead of silver ones.

Two more weeks till it's officially spring! :D


HAPPY MONDAY!

Have an amazing week


Yours Truly,
