Purple Ribbon

The color of choice today is: PURPLE

 I found out about this movement via Inez & knew I had to support the cause to help spread the word that abuse is NOT love by committing to wear purple today. Check out my PURPLE RIBBON FLOW...

I paired up this purple & black shirt with a few purple accessories. I even threw on some purple eye shadow for a added touch!  (Yep, I was playing in my daughters make-up again) lol

I definitely approve & support this cause... I know someone personally who was affected by Domestic Violence and I thank GOD that they were able to get out

of that situation because LOVE shouldn't hurt!

I even made a cool little charm bracelet just to show how much I support the cause!!!!

Bracelet w/ the beads & charms I ordered from eBay

If you look closely you will see that the charms read: made with love

It's a known FACT that Domestic Violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. So, if you or anyone else that you know are in this situation I encourage you that this is NOT LOVE... it's a crime!!!!

My Purple Accessories that made the FIT complete

This was the only picture I was able to take outside before my camera went DEAD!
I apologize for all the other bad quality pic's as they were taken with my cell phone.

Note to You: Speak LIFE into your situation... look into the mirror & know that you are beautiful, lovable, and most of all worthy of nothing less than the best!

 God made human beings, as male and female, in his image and likeness… U R the greatest creation… love thyself 1^st!!!!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

1 in 3 families are affected by domestic violence. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors — physical, sexual, psychological, and economic coercion — used by one intimate partner against another (adult or adolescent) to gain, maintain, or regain power and control in the relationship. Batterers use of a range of tactics to frighten, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, often injure, and sometimes kill a current or former intimate partner.

If you are in danger, please call 911, your local hotline, or (in the U.S.) the National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799-7233 or TTY (800) 787-3224.

SFAM, RED Lipstick & Stiletto’s

Well, I had the pleasure of meeting (2) two of my favorite bloggers - SFAM???!!! And, if you don’t know the duo – SLAP yo’self… lol No, seriously just SLAP yo’self!!!! Anyway, (rolling eyes) I met up with Reiko & Juanette this past Saturday at Gladys Knight Chicken & Waffles.

You should have been in my shoes because I got a chance to met two FIERCE & FLY chica's!!!!

I simple LOVE the way they stand apart from the crowd. When I arrived at GKCW I immediately spotted them… Upon meeting them it was almost like I had known them forever… We talked, we hugged, and shared a few laughs all while waiting in line to be seated for the Famous Chicken & Waffles. To congratulate Reiko on her recent nuptials I came bearing gifts… yes, gifts… I couldn’t bring 1 a gift and NOT the other. After all they are SFAM!!!! J 

SFAM - Juanette (l) & Reiko (r) - shawty in the middle is ME!!!! lol

Throughout the laughter I had an EAR injury w/ blood gushing out like on a horror film but we were so engaged in our convo that I didn’t even realize I had blood drippin’ all down the side of my face!!!! ~GROSS~ I know right – you had to be there to understand… I’m STILL trying to understand myself! :-/

It was very short lived on my behalf do to previous obligations that I had so I didn’t get to acually sit down and have Brunch with them. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the short meet & greet. It was a JOY & HONOR to meet the wonderful ladies behind such wonderful blogs.

Juanette, Antonia, Reiko, (ME) & Cherie

Later that night Hubby & I was invited to a FIGHT Party… I no absolutely nothing about BOXING!!!! All I know is: Mayweather vs some dude!!!! *SHRUGS*

Green Goblin

Greetings Earthlings… I come in PEACE!!!!! LOL!!!! Seriously, that was my Facebook post the day that I wore this dress (pictured below). Many of you already know my favorite color is PINK but GREEN is not too far behind on my fave list. It's just that for some reason the color GREEN always reminds me of the Green Goblin (Superman… duhhh)!!!! J

The day that I wore this dress it was 82 degrees in HOTLANTA so it was the perfect opportunity as I am trying to get my Summer clothes that didn't get much wear in rotation before the weather completely turns COLD. 

 

There were some REALLY weird things going on while my daughter was taking these pictures: 

·         Two guys in a Oldsmobile kept riding pass us whistling

·         A TRUCK driver asked if we needed help???!!!!

·         Another man drove up and wanted to know who & what we were taking pictures for and even asked for the blog name and business card!!!! So, if you are the guy in the Black Nissan and you are reading this: HELLO!!!!

·         Apparently, we was in “DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE” territory because a gang of DUCKS came & took over

·         Lastly, I stepped in DUCK SH*T!!!!!! #Ewwww….

 

What I Wore:

Dress: Macy's $9.00 (Clearance + Coupon = SCORE)

Sandals: Old Navy (Over a yr old – can’t remember $$$)
Nine West Clutch: Gifted

Accessories: LA Lynn's

Lesson Learned: Be AWARE of your surroundings at ALL times

What’s the weirdest thing that has happen to you while taking photo’s for your blog????  

Peace, Love, & Fashion
