The other night, I attended a fashion event here in Tampa (MIA2THEBAY), and my lace dress made another appearance.

I paired it with a leather skirt, and the wind caught the skirt, so you can see the dress peeking through. ;)

I decided to pair it with some Steve Madden lace-up platform sandals and a mini purse that was thrifted some time ago. I love the faux fur detail on this purse. I've been rocking it frequently, lately.

This was MIA2THEBAY's first year showing in Tampa. It was a weekend filled with fashion events that concluded with a fashion show on Sunday evening. 

TALK TO YOU SOON. :) 

XOXO,

Col. 3:14

As the sun set last weekend, my husband and I caught a movie in the historic Hyde Park, in our city. The trees and buildings carried a golden tinge as the sun made its way down from a long day's work. It gave the streets an interesting appeal; which made for great photos.

WHAT I WORE: Floral Cardigan: Thrifted Statement Necklace: Forever 21 Wine Petal Skirt: Thrifted Caged Heels: Calvin Klein Handbag: Zara Large Shopper

Hope you all are having a joyful week! Having joy is different from simply being happy. Happiness is momentary, but JOY is a deep-seated satisfaction with WHO you are and WHOSE you are. As for me, I belong to my Lord and Savior Jesus. He satisfies me and fulfills me even when life seems upside down. My joy in Him brings me the comfort and confidence to live from day to day.

I encourage you to choose joy in Christ when you are going through tough times. He brings satisfaction.

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs: 22

Joe and I started the day with God, a nice run, brunch, and a b-boy battle at Crossover Church in 

Tampa, Fl.

BTW: These photos were taken with my iPhone; which is why the quality looks different.

Hello Lovely People,

I've recently launched a new fashion series on my YouTube channel entitled 'Thrifted Fab' ! In this series I will be styling thrifted items into everyday looks. There will be a new video and corresponding blog post up each week. It's going to be exciting!!

OAN: I haven't been posting and uploading as often as I would like because its finals time! You may not know this, but I am a college professor as well, and it gets extremely hectic for me around this time. As much as I like to read, grading papers for several classes is no fun!

Only the good Lord has been getting me through this season. I am so looking forward to the summer! My workload will decrease and I will be posting both frequently and consistently.

Floral Cardigan: Goodwill Outlet $.75                                          Black Body Con Dress: Ross Stores $5.99                               Black Carlos Santana  Platform Pumps: Ross Stores $22                                          White Structured Mini Purse: H&M $3.50

WATCH MY NEW VIDEO HERE!!! 

Here's a bible verse to keep you going this week. 

Isaiah 41:10  fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

XOXO,

Colossians 3:14

In exactly 1 day 6 hours and 30minutes I will be celebrating two things: my new single being released and the resurrection of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!

'I NEED YOU' will be released for the whole world to hear on

  March 31, 2013!!

The whole reason I'm releasing new music on this date is because of my gratitude to Jesus for what He did for me about 2,000 years ago.

He came to this earth to offer salvation to a fallen people but instead of taking it their eyes were blinded and they accused him of blasphemy. They could not believe that the Messiah had really come!

The accusations led him to conviction, and his punishment was death on a cross. Before dying Jesus said this to his critics, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 

They thought He was referring to the temple they were standing in but He was referring to His body! Three days after his death, Jesus indeed rose, rolled away the enormous stone that had covered his grave, and had conquered death! Scientific evidence and the scripture says that He appeared to over 500 men in a span of 40 days!!!

He did all this to be a bridge between humankind and God. He paid a cost for our sins that we couldn't afford. Accepting Him as Lord and Savior of your life means that you have accepted his gift of Salvation. Your debts are paid for and you are forgiven. You no longer have to live in your past, you are a new "creation". 

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17

In my new single, I NEED YOU, I talk about a relationship that I have with this loving God. Jesus has renewed my mind & my heart and made me into the confident, successful woman I am today. He is using me for the purposes of His kingdom and this song is a reflection of that.
