Sneak Peek: Neon + Floral

I've always been a little iffy about wearing floral print anything. I just don't like floral stuff....at least i though i didn't until i saw those pants at Zara a few weeks ago. This is one of the many reasons I love having this blog, I get to experiment and try things I never thought I would. I decided to pair it with a neon sweater I also found in Zara! What do you guys think?

Keep an out for an outfit post :)



TGIF! Happy Friday! Have a blast, I know I will! :)


Yours Truly,

Full Moon, Blue Sky

All my friends are gone and I find my life being forced back to its old, boring routine. Ok, so maybe it wasn't exactly a "boring" routine but you get the picture! I miss them and I cannot wait to see them again! I've definitely started making plans to go see them SOON!

Anyway, sorry for my absence, it's been a crazy week! Too many memories and no regrets whatsoever!  This weekend I have a shoot with an AMAZING and talented photographer, Ray, not really for my blog but for his portfolio. I will definitely be posting the pictures though! sooooo keep reading! And sorry for the poor lighting, I took these pictures at night!


Yours Truly,

Pink Monday

I would like to dedicate today's post to my mother who passed away about two and a half years ago from breast cancer. Without her I wouldn't be the person I am today. I strive to be the woman she was and more. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her and the fight, drive, ambition and strength she had. I would like to encourage all the readers to donate to any breast cancer organization bearing in mind that every cent donated goes toward saving the lives of women in your lives

During my weekend in Houston, my sister and I went through my mother's things as we hadn't touched them since she passed. It was possibly one of the most painful things I've had to do in a while. As we sorted through them, this shirt caught my eye and it brought back some very good memories of my mom and me. I then decided to use it for a post this week :) in memory of her!

On a much lighter note, my weekend was SOOOO much fun and my liver is going to pay the price for it. I haven't had THAT much fun is such a long time and was most certainly a needed break but the weekend is over now and it's time to take it a little slow. At this very moment, all I am thinking about is making up for  my sleep deprived weekend. I am so tired right now, I can hear my bed calling my name!

Goodnight lovelies! :)

Two out of three of my nieces!! <3

My munchkin!!:), my sister (gorgeous as always :) ) and my oldest niece 

honestly the BEST tiramisu I have had! 

How could i do dessert without chocolate cake =)

Remember Dorothy's sparkly red shoes in the Wizard of Oz? Well, my red shoes took me home - not Ghana home but Houston home - last weekend for the blessing of my sister's marriage.  My sister is wearing silver sparkly Jimmy Choo's which I plan on "borrowing" one of these days. I mean, what are sisters for? lol. I took A LOT of pictures of everyone there but me, so today I recreated my look in the semi-wonderful weather we had here in New England! As you can see in the pictures it wasn't warm enough to melt the snow :/ so you may wondering, "Was she cold? or was it kinda warm?"...OH, YESSIR! I was freezing my butt off in that dress. It took a lot to keep myself composed in those pictures and I think I deserve a slice of that absolutely delicious Tiramisu shown above =)

Today a good friend of mine arrives to spend part of Spring break with me! He's been a good friend since High School and I admire him so, so much! :) I can't wait to show him around the city and hopefully this "good" weather will hold up through the weekend *fingers crossed* But on the flip side, I have another quiz before he arrives and I am not done studying for it. Oh, what procrastination does to my life! smh

Also, as you can see from the pictures, the shoot went very well! It wasnt as warm as I anticipated but it was nice enough that I found a brick wall to take pictures of my spring looks in front of  :) :) And I chose that brick wall because it was windy (cold wind) everywhere else and I couldn't keep a composed face lol

Back to the books for me! Have an amazing day!

Yours Truly,


Marcie
