Blush

Blush is such a soft subtle color. I have paired this light feminine dress with the modern edge of a motorcycle jacket and booties. Perfect for those breezy spring days when you need something light to wear over your dress.

The shade of this dress is a cross between nude and blush

Blackalicious

Hey Loves! Hope life is treating you well. Happy Spring! I had quite a weekend and now I am excited about my sons upcoming birthday. I always get so excited to celebrate with him and cherish these moments because kids grow up so fast. I am looking forward to wearing spring and summer dresses and enjoying all those activities that I enjoy so much in the spring like going to the races, enjoying spring tea and lots of time at the beach.

 Today I am wearing black on black and I find that wearing black from head to toe is always a stylish and classic look. I found my motorcycle jacket hiding in the back of the closet and got a chance to wear it because it has been a little cool and breezy lately. Are you a fan of black on black?

I believe in getting as much mileage out of my wardrobe as possible and am known to be a repeat offender by wearing the  items in my closet in different ways. Most of my clothes are very classic so it is easy to mix and match to get completely different looks with the same items depending on how I style them. I am definitely not a person who won't wear something more than once. I use trends very sparingly because I believe true style is not based upon being trendy, but how you put things together , regardless of whether or not everybody is wearing it.

The photo on the left is from a few years ago and is similar with different accessories. I think the look on the left is softer and the motorcycle jacket and different style of booties gives the outfit an edgier look.

 I love the zipper detail on these and they are really comfortable

Take some time to kick your feet up and enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

Have an amazing day!

North on South Street

Hey Loves! Spring is upon us. It's a new season. With new seasons come growth and with growth comes change. If something isn't growing, it's dying. Growth is not always an easy thing, but it is always the best thing. The final destination in our journeys are very rarely a straight path. 

 

There are unexpected curves, peaks and valley's and time in the desert. Sometimes the journey takes us in strange directions and no map can guide you because there are some places we arrive at only by the grace of God. The lesson is usually in the journey and what you learn along the way. Experience is a great teacher, especially when you are a willing student.

The Substance of Faith

Hey Loves! Its been a hectic week so far. I hope you enjoyed the Kale Taco recipe from last week. It has been such a busy time and so many great and unexpected opportunities have been presenting themselves to me. It made me ponder the concept of being prepared when an opportunity comes. I have come to the realization that the best protocol is not to get ready, but to STAY READY.

 You never know when all the seeds you planted will begin to grow. Sometimes a seed can lie dormant for a very long time and then there is a SUDDENLY moment. 

Speaking of things lying dormant, many of you follow me on my other social media platforms and were following my Food Fashion and Flow Facebook page and then I became so focused on my other social media platforms that I neglected the page and before I knew it three years had gone by without one single Facebook page update and then I decided this year to start posting on the page again. When I went there to update, I was astounded at the number of messages from people hungry to see content on the page. Please take a moment to like my page here and then you will be able to see inspirational content every day. 

When you plant a seed, you have to water it and make sure it gets some sunlight and then you trust and believe that what you are watering will grow even though you can't see what is happening under the soil. That's what faith looks like. It is trusting what you can't see.

The word of God says: "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" - Hebrews 11:1

When life doesn't make sense. Look up and rejoice because the answers come from above. In life sometimes our faith is all we have and we have to hold onto it even if those around you don't understand.

The weather recently has been chilly, but it gives me an excuse to wear my fur jacket. I am wearing a palette neutral colors and neutral colors always look perfect.

Fur Jacket: F-21, Purse: Ivanka Trump, Dress, F-21, Boots: Diba

Unkempt messy hair and don't care. Life gets messy too, but even through messy people and circumstances. Keep the faith

Always remember that a faith walk is never easy

Keep smiling through it all and have a great day!
