Sunday Best and All the Rest

   How do you do, readers? It's high time that you and I met again! I hope that you have been well and happy. My life is as full as ever, though I'm expecting this to be a slower week (I think ;)). Over the weekend, my mom, best friend and I went on a shopping expedition. We all found something, and I took home quite a few consigned items. On Sunday, I had the chance to wear a couple of my finds!

  Hello all! How are you this fine October Sunday? Here, the season has certainly changed over the past couple of days. A crisp, cool wind has been blowing, bringing with it the prime time for tea, hot chocolate and lattes. In fact, my parents and I went out for coffee this afternoon. Below, you'll see me with a vanilla - not pumpkin spice - latte in my hands. ;)

    Hello all! Hmm, it seems that I blog on a different day every week now doesn't it? Such is the life of a hobby blogger and indeed, such is the life of everyone! Our days are full of ups and downs, free time and busy time, surprises and daily duties. Now and then the Lord gives us little gifts (material or intangible) that put a smile on our face in the midst of it all. One of recent gifts for me was this skirt!

     Hi there, readers! I hope that you have been enjoying this April week. For me, it has been fairly well-paced, which is helpful when trying to recover from a springtime cold. Sunday was a pleasant day of celebrating the Savior's resurrection, and it offered the perfect opportunity for a photo shoot with one of my new-to-me items. I suppose spring is an appropriate time of year to say "out with the old, in the the new" regarding one's closet!

       Hello all! I have a special post to share today, thanks to the fashion website eShakti. This will be my second review for the company (see the first here ), and I am as pleased as I was the first time around. Now, I offer my honest opinion of the garment I received.

    Hello all! I hope you've been having a good weekend thus far. Many of us in the States are enjoying a three-day weekend, getting ready to celebrate our nation's birthday. Happy Independence Day, fellow Americans! :)

   Hello all, and welcome to my second day linking up to Bramblewood Thrifted! Today's outfit was worn to a wedding this afternoon. It added a bit of an extra challenge to come up with something dressy that wasn't a very similar outfit to something already on the blog. What resulted was an outfit that had the winter/spring transition feel akin to yesterday's look.

Doesn't Mom match well? She was in the wedding too - she and Dad read a statement of faith. During most of the reception, I wore a cardigan.     Hello all! :) How has your week been so far? Mine has had its ups and downs, but I'm glad to be sharing with you on the blogosphere today! As you might recall, I was in a dear friend's wedding earlier this year. Because we didn't end up bringing our own camera, I waited for the official photos before writing a post. Now I'm ready to show you what I wore for my second time as a bridesmaid.

    Greetings readers! My weekend has dawned bright and sunny. How about yours? It's time for the last Style School post (though I cannot say that definitely ;) )! Let's go retro!

   Greetings all! :) I do believe this is my last post before Christmas. Therefore, I want to start out by wishing all of you who celebrate the holiday a MERRY CHRISTMAS ! In the midst of all the fun of lights, good food, family, friends, and gifts, do remember to think of Jesus and thank Him for coming to earth as one of us. He is the reason for every season!

   Another birthday has come and gone. I am another year older and hopefully more mature, skilled, and experienced than I was this time last year! Now I am one more year into that most mysterious of decades, "the twenties". Birthdays are strange things; we have them only every twelve months, but that one day goes on to define a part of us for the next twelve.

   Hello and happy Saturday dear readers! The week is winding to a close yet again. It's been a week of work and volunteering, relaxing at home with a cold, saying a goodbye, buying a new lip color, and sunshine with friends and family. What have you been up to?

  How do you do readers? I am busy (surprised? ;) and glad to be enjoying the summer sunshine this week. Oddly enough, the cheerfully colored outfit I'm posting today did not have sun as a backdrop. Oh well! At least the photos were taken somewhere besides my house (which resulted from a really quick side-trip on the way home from a birthday party...). Enjoy the different backdrop! :)

   Happy Tuesday folks! Today you get to have a combo post of an outfit and a blog award. I would like to thank the creative sisters Bethany and Becca of Clever Bunnies for nominating me for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award*. By the way, I'm sorry for not being very good at commenting on others' blogs this week - I have been very busy, but hope to drop in on your blogs soon. :)

   Happy weekend all! Today, I'm excited to present you with my first-ever clothing review! The women's clothing company eShakti gave me the honor of asking me to review one of their products. Of course, I said yes, and selected the teal Graphic floral vine embellished poplin dress. It arrived four days after the email arrived saying that it had shipped, and here I am now to tell you about it!

   Hello and how do you do this last Tuesday of January? Typical winter trials are certainly upon us here in the Western Hemisphere. I hope that you are avoiding all the sickness that my own area is currently weathering. Speaking of weather, I pray that any American east-coasters reading this stay safe and warm though the storm! On to happier things such as...what else? Fashion! ;)

      Hello and how do you do, everyone? This week I've spent my days fighting off a mild virus, my evenings attending parties, and my nights listening to wind and rain. December days are enough to put anyone in a December daze!

    Afternoon, friends! I hope you are having a good week so far. How's the weather where you live? In my neck of the woods we had a sudden transition from summer to fall during the early part of last week. Last Sunday I wore a wool skirt to church, whereas the week before I wore sandals to the evening service! It's definitely time for a wardrobe transition.

   H'lo all! How has your week been so far? Mine has so far consisted of still trying to shake this cold, while getting back into normal weekly stuff, as well as attending a medieval festival!    Last week in the throes of illness (obviously we weren't at death's door) Mom thought it would be fun to style a couple of outfits for me and do a photo shoot. Both of the winsome ensembles she put together have a wintry look, and as the air is beginning to chill a bit, they can be made use of before too long! Onward to the first outfit...

  Oh, shoes! We girls seem to have no problem collecting footwear. There's a pair for every occasion in our lives, whether it's in our closet, our imagination, or on our pinboard. With all these shoes, there's plenty of room for confusing terms and styles; it's enough to make a gal's head spin! If you get online looking for a certain kind of heel, it might take you a while to find just what you're looking for. Knowing your shoe definitions will help you narrow down your search a lot faster, plus it's actually fun to learn (at least for me it is...;)!   Let's get started by making sure we know the basic parts of a shoe. This will help us to know the variations between different shoe styles.The upper is the top part of the shoe, while the sole is the bottom. The upper can be divided into several sections. The toe box covers the toes. The vamp is the part of the upper that goes from the toe box to front of the leg. The quarters refer to the bac...
