Of Royal Descent...
There's nothing wrong with enjoying a day dream or two...
I always believed I was from the South in another life, or perhaps even New Orleans. Born and raised in sunny So. Cal., I always have moments when I talk and a little twain comes out, and I've always enjoyed the ryhthm of fine jazz. And let me just tell you, I've been asked more than once, where I'm originally from?
My alter-ego however, deems she's from a Royal family. I adore the color purple and believe in being treated like a lady and having a few grapes fed to me whilst I sit amongst gold infused chairs and have a daily foot massage. Oh well, a girl can dream, right?
What's your alter-ego's style?
Leave me a comment and let me know...

Ring of Fire
Janis Savitt 18k jewelry / SunaharA mid knuckle ring / Topshop rhinestone ring / Banana Republic yellow gold jewelry / Accessorize stackable bracelet / LeiVanKash mid finger ring / Sterling silver ring / Topshop mid finger ring
Dainty, tribal, bows, hearts, double stacked, triple stacked, and all character driven or animal inspired. Rings are the easiest way to dress up bare hands that otherwise look a little dull. Sorry, I skipped the hand cream.
The new trend is midi rings. They look like baby rings for adults. Meant to be worn above your knuckle, they're cute and unique and can be worn with regular rings to play up the whole finger.
The look reminds me of Hindu jewelry, which is gorgeous and I personally feel the muse for this new trend, and I love it.
Please excuse my messy manicure and zoom in on the rings! ;)

Country and Rock & Roll
This weekend was the first weekend I had all to myself in quite some time. I had nothing strenuous planned so I was looking forward to it. In the morning I joined my women's Catholic fellowship group and hosted our monthly session for women, with the theme built around gratitude.
What an amazing witness I had the opportunity of being while several ladies of different backgrounds and age groups shared in life's hardships and how they were still able to find God's light and the silver lining. I'm talking deaths, illness, and failures in careers. True testaments of beauty from ashes, and I was "grateful" to join in all these revelations, including some of my own.
After the fellowship was over, I was reminded by my phone that in 1.5 hours I was going to do something I've wanted to do for weeks now. I got a 75 minute body massage and let me just tell you, I snored, possibly drooled and woke up feeling amazing, and slightly stoned looking. My hair was disheveled, I was cold and slurring my words. WOW, it was that good and so well deserved.
A trip to the local shopping mall was going to be next. I picked up a few shoes, not necessarily needed, but desperately adored after, along with a cute jersey dress from Forever 21, as seen above.
Once home, I unbagged my items and got ready for a dinner date night with E. Our tradition and one I love doing with him. We ate a steak dinner and went to see About Time, starring Rachel Mcadams. (LOVE HER! and so does E, apparently..). The movie was an awesome love story of life and relationships with family; finding the one, and going after what you want. We loved it!
Through my themed weekend of reflection and getting to know yourself a little better, I decided to base today's outfit off of who I am and pair my pieces from that of slightly edgy and sassy to super sweet. ;) linked up with jointhegossip.com
