"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." -Steve Jobs

That quote is very raw, but it is so true...I love it. 

Power shoulders and faux peplum skirt.

Tube top dress with a one-shoulder chiffon overlay. Very nice and clean shape.

Happy Monday! I want to say special "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" to my eldest sister. She is the best big sister a girl could ask for  She's always there to care for and love me. Here's to many more years, girl. Love you to itty bits.

I wore my new favorite dress to a wedding this past weekend. I honestly love it so much (my seamstress did a phenomenal job!).

The is French lace I received from my mommy.  Well...I received it after begging for like a week. Figured I would use it before she would. She caved and gave it to me. The benefits of being the last born. (= 

Blowing a fish faced kiss to all my readers. Hope you catch it (-;

So this is how I originally envisioned the dress with the cut out.  But when I added the extra material, it definitely made the dress look classier.

This is one BIG bun!

Have a blessed week, everyone. xx

The Power of Color

"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." - I Corinthians 13:11

This morning someone really made me want to jump out of my skin, and act out of character.  But the good grace of God helped me to regain my composure so I would not lose it. I am so uncertain why people believe it is appropriate to behave in such ignorant manners, but it gets to point in every adult's life, when he or she must begin to act like an...adult. Not every battle is worth the fight.

Hello All.

First and foremost, let me apologize for disappearing into thin air. As some of you know I am a full-time graduate student and I also work full-time.  So needless to say I did not have much time for much else but to work and study.  But I am definitely not to let what happened this semester happen next year.

Secondly, Happy Holidays to you all. I hope everyone has been having a great holiday season.

Below are some pics from a party I went to earlier in the month.  In 2012,  hope to have more exciting designs (and giveaways!) for you.  Have a great beginning to the year. 

xx,

DeBisi

See you all in 2012!

They did not know what each other's outfit looked like until they saw each other the day off...


...And they literally looked similar all the way down to the shoes.

 

The details: 

pleated Chinese collar with power shoulder sleeves (left outfit)

 Beaded belt (right outfit)

The footwork. Nice!

Happy Monday. xx

P.S.: Today is 7/11...if you have a 7-Eleven in your area, they may be participating in the free slurpee in honor of the date. (= Enjoy!
