A Feminine Touch....my style, my way...right now

I don't care what the style books, mags, websites are saying is in style right now...I think that style comes from within. People have their own personal style and items that may look great on one person may not always flatter someone else. I feel like one’s choice of fashion is very personal and no one has the right to define that for you. A quote that I have always loved…

Fashion condemns us to many follies; the greatest is to make oneself its slave.
-Napoleon Bonaparte

For me, lately, I have really been drawn to more feminine pieces and textures... Although I may not dress like this from head to toe I still like to add at least one of these lovies into my look to add a touch femininity


I am LOVING:

Soft gold and tarnished silver

Beautiful diamonds


Exquisite pearls


Delicate Lace


Fluffy Tulle


Roses/Rosettes


Soft Chiffon


Playful ruffles and Bountiful bows


Gray, Pink, Ivory, Grayish Blues, Classic Black and Navy


(all above pictures from google search)
I'm thinking Paris, Romance, Love.
and all this is inspired by my wedding style

(fun times)
What is your personal style? What are some of your staple pieces? Do you have anything that when you wear it your friends say, “that’s such a (your name here) outfit/item?”

Winter Blues...where I daydream I could be....

The days of no sunshine, brisk wind, and cold nights are here and a little drab. I find myself daydreaming about my beautifully romantic honeymoon in warm and sunny St. Lucia... If only I could turn back the hands of time. I hope you all are staying warm.

Please people pray for our bothers and sisters in Haiti...this is just horrible and devastating to an island that already suffers so much... this insert was taken from the Livesay (Haiti) Web Blog, a web blog of a family that has devoted their life to building life and spread ingGod's love in Haiti. I hung off all their words...

The Morning After - Earthquake Haiti 2010

The sun is about to come up. The aftershocks continue. Some more noticeable than others. There is no way to even begin to share the things we’ve heard and seen since 5pm yesterday. To do so would take hours that we don’t have to give right now. Some of them feel wrong to tell. Like only God should know these personal horrible tragedies.

The few things we can confirm – yes the four story Caribbean Market building is completely demolished. Yes it was open. Yes the National Palace collapsed. Yes Gov’t buildings nearby the Palace collapsed. Yes St Josephs Boys home is completely collapsed. Yes countless countless - countless other houses, churches, hospitals, schools, and businesses have collapsed. There are buildings that suffered almost no damage. Right next door will be a pile of rubble.

Thousands of people are currently trapped. To guess at a number would be like guessing at raindrops in the ocean. Precious lives hang in the balance. When pulled from the rubble there is no place to take them for care Haiti has an almost non existent medical care system for her people. To read more go here.


Count your blessings today and always and continue to have hope even admist your suffering.

Thank You God,
Ronita
