Happy Hump Day Friends! This is the kinda day I’m having...needed a big ass cup of really strong coffee!! Super tired thanks to last nights double overtime hockey game. Can’t wait to see who @dallasstars will play for the cup! Playoff hockey is totally worth the exhaustion though. Hope you’re all having a great week. Blessings and love 💕 and go #dallasstars #strongcoffee #homebarista #latteart #hockeyfan #hockeylove https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNMoXFM9AV/?igshid=11wmyuqnnklhi

Hello Friends! Feeling a little feisty so I figured it’s an animal print kind of day. Who are we kidding though...I’m always a little feisty 😜 especially the closer we get to Friday! Here’s your fashion history tidbit for the week... As with several fashion trends, animal prints in fashion date back much further than one would expect. They are documented as being the special ceremonial dress for high-ranking priests in Ancient Egypt during some of the most important burial rituals. Mural paintings typically depict a leopard skin worn as a cape (not promoting use of actual animal skins here...remember its history). Leopard was considered sacred as it was the personification of the ancient sky-Goddess, Mafdet. Animal prints made their way back around in the 18th century, took a little hiatus in the 19th century and came back full force in the 20th century during the Art Deco era. Whatever the period, animal prints are one of the most diverse trends in history having been touted as everything from upscale and trendy to kitschy and cheap. 🐆🦓🦒 Hope you’re all having a fantastically feisty day! Blessings and love! 💕👗👠💋 #fashion #fashionista #fashionhistory #style #stylish #zebraprint #animalprint #blessedandhighlyfavored https://www.instagram.com/p/CE98HspMTVi/?igshid=pt3mt7l0d907

Hello friends! I feel like I’ve been a little delinquent on my fashion posts...got this color block dress a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Besides being super cute and having one of my favorite colors (gold star to anyone who can guess which one 😜) it’s incredibly comfortable!! So here’s your fashion history for this week... Color blocking made its way into fashion in 1946 through an Yves St Laurent fall fashion show. Swipe right to see a picture of that dress. The style was modeled after the work of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian who used red, yellow and blue squares marked by bold black lines (swipe right again to see that painting). It was not immediately popular for the masses as most thought it to be a work of art only for the fashion forward. We can thank 50’s fashion and 60’s mod style for really bringing it to life! Hope you’re having a fantastic day. Stay positive. Friday is almost here. Blessings and love to you all!! ❤️👗👠 #fashion #fashionhistory #modfashion #colorblocking #artinfashion #fashionista #blessed #godisgood https://www.instagram.com/p/CEr8FXuMldt/?igshid=1cac0t0s5cc9n

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day! So I intended to post yesterday but got completely side tracked by this pesky little thing called work! Here is yesterday’s ensemble. My favorite part is the red patent leather! The accent of red in the belt matched perfectly with these new red patent heals, rounded out with a bright red lip! Ever wonder why it’s called “patent leather”? Here’s a little history for you... One of the earliest references to patent leather was in a British publication from 1793 detailing how a gentleman by the name of Mr Hand obtained a patent for preparing flexible leather having a glaze and polish that renders it impervious to water. It was called ‘Hands patent leather’ and the fact that there was a legal patent secured for the process is how the name came be. Hope you’re having a fabulous Wednesday! Blessings and love to you all!! ❤️ #fashion #fashionista #style #patentleather #patentleathershoes #redlips https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXat0RseTN/?igshid=stfs1sfw0z1j

Hello and happy hump day my fashionista friends! Today’s shopping in my own closet has yielded an entire outfit! Black and white polka dots seem to be the theme of the week.

Heels, sparkles and comfortable...what could be better than that?? Hope you all have a fabulous day. Stay positive, Friday is just around the corner. Blessings and love to you all! 👠💕💋 #fashion #fashionista #sparklyshoes #loveheels #peeptoes #blessedandhighlyfavored #humpdayvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CEE0Wk6METG/?igshid=j2xtnjztfp76

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday! So the opportunities for shopping in my closet are dwindling, but not gone yet! Found this cute little polka dot number this morning...and yes, tags were still on it. Love that it matches my polka dot heels perfectly! Gold star to anyone who knows where this quote is from 😜 “Harvard won’t be impressed that you aced History of Polka Dots” #fashion #fashionista #retrostyle #polkadots #moviequotes #stilletos #lovemyheels https://www.instagram.com/p/CECV7bGsKej/?igshid=1uf4it35cxdh0

No truer words...no one is perfect and therefore is in no position to be unforgiving. Forgiveness doesn’t always equate to forgetting, but relationships get stronger when people learn from their mistakes and do their best not to repeat them. I know it’s hard to see past the pain or anger that a mistake can cause, but we owe it to ourselves and those we care about to try. When someone asks you for kindness and understanding, think back to how you felt when you were in a similar position. We have all been there before. Blessings and love! ❤️ #forgiveness #strongrelationship #kindness #understanding #friendship #friendlove #blessedandhighlyfavored https://www.instagram.com/p/CEASj-9MlEo/?igshid=qddzyko19o1v
