Trend Alert: Long Jumpsuits



Hi everyone, I am way too eager for Spring to get here and every time there is even the slightest glimpse of warm weather out, I whip out sandals and a light tee and by mid afternoon I am frozen solid! Anywhoo there are a lot of cool trends to delve into this summer but I am going to start with Jumpsuits. I think jumpsuits are a perfect way to look effortlessly cool and chic, day or night.

 

I love that jumpsuits come in so many different styles, from wide leg to slim leg, strapless to one-shoulder or full sleeved, bright colours and prints to classic black. I think the key to rocking a onsie is that you shouldn't over-accessorise, keep it simple with a simple neckpiece or belt or better yet some bold lipstick to give the click that extra something.

 

 

Have fun trying out this trend this summer, forward me your pictures and I'll be sure to post them up.

So much to celebrate!

Hello my lovelies, apologies for being so MIA this month, I was writing my last attorneys admission exam and I am speaking life into the situation and trusting that God's grace, love and mercy have pulled me through. That's definitely something to celebrate, the first of a quite a few in this post.

 

The Second thing to celebrate is that I have hit the 5000 mark in terms of page views! This is really exciting because I started this blog thinking no one would even read it besides my friends who were forced to by virtue of our friendship!  It's been such a wonderful experience watching my little brain child grow and develop. A huge thank you to all who have given me great feedback and encouraged me along the way.

Fourth thing, a really great career opportunity has come up for me for 2014, I have been offered a permanent position with a beeeeg bank! I can't say too much yet because I haven't signed anything and as any decent lawyer would tell you, it's all in the fine print. I am super excited at the prospect and I am all for new beginnings and trying my hand at something different.

 

Fifth thing, can you believe all of this favour and blessing in my life? back to the fifth thing, my family got some really great news yesterday, more specifically my Dad, there was this mountain of a problem that plagued our family for a really long time... can't go in to too much detail... but all of it, as in ALL OF IT, came to a sudden end yesterday! I know it doesn't make much sense reading this but the point of all of this is to reflect on how gracious and merciful God really is, that in the midst of every storm, when you can see no way out, God will always come through and shine his glory in our lives and in our circumstances.

 

And the last thing, although not entitely new news, my big sister is having another baby! My niece will be making her grand debut in November this year! I am so excited and I can't wait to meet her and spoil her and pick cute outfits for her to wear! It's going to be awesome!!!
