Embellish Yourself




An embellished tee is a not so versatile piece but if your brain doesn't seem to be working when you are getting dressed this is an easy fix. You can wear this casual with jeans, or dress it up with a pencil skirt. You could also put it over a button up and make it super preppy. No matter which way you choose to wear it, you will always feel glamorous!

If you are willing to purchase this beauty (I'm pretty sure this will be out of season soon), you can make one yourself, take a chunky necklace and sew it onto a simple Hane's tee. It will take some playing around with, but I think it will work if you don't have it
in your budget to buy this JCrew version.
Spotlight: 4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
When you are getting ready in the morning, or whatever time of day remember to praise our God. After all, you are getting ready in His house, and His closet. Everything on this earth that belongs to you is essentially on loan from Him.

DIY Hair Accessories


Making your own accessories for your hair is definitely in this season. Although, I have to remember not to avert back to what I originally think of when someone says this (hello NKOB, Hangin' Tough, anyone?) This is a trend anyone can incorporated into their style. I found these delicate flowered bobby pins on etsy, the designer is HandleSpout, and they are just perfect! Now I'm not saying that these would be easy to make (I'd prefer to buy them thankyouverymuch)! But you get the idea. These would be great to dress up an evening look, or perfect to wear with a tee and rock and republics on the weekend. Also, in InStyle this month they have a section on how to DIY. How would you make this style your own? Feathers, gemstones, twigs, go on and be creative!
Spotlight: According to Luke 21:16-19, those who are believers in Christ will be betrayed by relatives, friends and the like. It says we will be hated because of Christ. For any of us that have experienced this. It can be really tough! The hope of this is in the later two verses. "But not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life." In Jesus we have the ability to face anything form life's greatest challange to a bad hair day. Remember that with Jesus and a few hair accessories we can face anything life throws our way.
