Emillo Pucci Resort 2012

I am totally in love with this look for several reasons. First, it's a Resort look, which is by far my favorite collection of them all. It is just so happy :) Yay, the weather is warmer, the sun feels brighter, and the color selections and textures in a resort collection are just fun. Secondly, I have a slight obsession with T strap sandals at the moment, and these beauties have an art deco feel to them. Third, the dress by Emilio Pucci is gorgeous! The fit of the dress is just so ladylike, which if you know me, I am a big fan of. The fabric and the hue work perfectly together. You couldn't help but have a great day if you were wearing this ensemble.

So, which pieces could you pull together from your closet to make you feel as happy as this outfit? Wear it tomorrow. Take pride in your look ladies!

"When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty." Jerimiah 15:16. Take pride in your image, and take joy in the Lord.

Armadillo Print

Mila Kunis was spotted wearing this sheer armadillo print blouse and skirt, both from Givenchy. She has paired the outfit perfectly with Christian Laboutin's, which if you remember, elongate your look. I am totally digging these neutral colors together, and I love the print pattern for this look. Armadillo? Not expected, yet very cool. If you choose to rock a print like this, we suggest to keep everything else simple.

Spotlight: Provers 11:13 says, "A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret." Just want to encourage you to hold your tongue it most situations. If you have a problem with a brother or a sister (or whoever) seek counsel from the Lord first, a confidant second, and then confront the situation with love and respect. That's how you would hope someone would handle a situation with yourself in one of your less than perfect moments, so do the same for someone else. Have a great week friends!

Fireworks

Hey friends! How was your 4th of July? Hope that your heart is full from spending time with those you love, cool treats, and bright lights (fireworks, hello!). A group of sweet gals are meeting at my house each Tuesday evening to do a summer study called "No Other Gods" by Kelly Minteer. Let me tell you, it is a good study!!! She has a book and a workbook, we are studying the latter. At the end of each week she provides a yummy recipe and a playlist. It's such a good time to take a break out of your week and refocus. Focus on what the Lord is saying, and listen to what He is teaching others. So, if you are looking for a sweet (and booty kicking) little study, I encourage you to turn the fan on hi, open a box of popsicles and invite you friends over for a great time with the Lord.

Oh, and as for the fashion? How about buying something for a dear friend that you enjoy. Or give one of your pieces away. Does the same person always compliment you on the same earings? Make her day. It feels good to get rid of things. Be a firework in someone else's day :)
