...Concrete Rose

 Not every flower is a Rose...

I 'll  grow and learn more and more about myself and all the intricate parts that make me whole. I can accept all the things that I am worth and let go of the things that break my spirit. I know that I am worthy to be loved and settling for anything less would be shameful to His creation.  Love comes from within, nourishes your soul and blossoms out.  I desire to grow and be beautiful; a concrete rose that deserves every chance, rain drop and sunshine that the lily of the valleys are garden by.  I am nothing less than the next and everything more than I can imagine. I pray to God to help me understand and accept love.  Allow myself to trust in the journeys it will inevitably bring and every promise it will deposit. I am willing to believe in myself a bit more each day, and trust in His light in every moment.

Cover Girl

Cover-ed-up girl 

On of the most appealing attribute of a woman it to be comfortable and elegant in how she feels about herself, and how she shares that with the world.   

Women have struggled with the idealism that power is only demonstrated in two ways, but we have grown to believe and live that Our power lies within. There is an abundance of beauty in the illusion of attraction without exposure.

To take a note out of the history books, in the 16^th Century, just the slight relieve of a woman décolletage was striking.  The consequently décolletage was an aspect of a woman’s fashion.  One of the most charming looks is to be completely covered and still feel chic and graceful in your own right.

Radiate Your beauty and power that lies within. The treasure of life is to discover and share who YOU are with the world.

Walk the Talk 2012 Event

 What a great way to spend my Saturday afternoon,  walking and talking about personal style. Invited by fellow bloggers, the event brought bloggers and fashion insiders together to network and share knowledge. The crowd was lively and colorful. The Walk the talk 2012 event on Saturday afternoon was hosted by Young Hip and chic.

From local bloggers, photographers, designers, styles and consuming admirers, the room was filled with lively and colorful patrons of Personal style.

The showroom 77 was an ideal location for this event. it created the perfect networking and social setting to mingle with everyone. With creative give away , chic appetizers, the food was as colorful as were the make up of people.

Like most of my days around merchandise, I try to leave the event without the urge to add to my collection at home.  As I walked, I tried to talk myself out of having to buy out of lust. But heck, its 2012 and i should know better ...ha.  

I did fall for these red sphere earrings wrapped in a gold branchlike web.   I cant wait to wear them! im excited to see what threads i could accessories them with... hmmm and i did purchase a pink and gold teardrop earring.  Okay okay that was it.  Fingers crossed, I promise  ;-)

My Sentiments ....
