.the little white dress trend needs to be the end.

i fancy dresses.

white isn't my favorite color.

the only time you will catch me in white is in 

the temple.

& of course the summer trend

is...
the little white dress

 i don't know how i feel about this.

they say,

find the dress that fits your body.

but white is SO unflattering to a womens body

it can make a tiny girl look big.

but if you can work it then applauds!!

they say if you go for it...

go for the heal

a high heel

a nude heel

or a metallic heel

well..

good luck!!

i prefer black,

its classy & slimming.

put on a color heal and its summery.

i also prefer cream

because it is pretty much my favorite color.

.

we'll see.

i may choose to follow this terrible trend

i'll look, if i can work it. then i will

other wise, i'll stick with black

thank you very much.

xoxo

why are all the smart classy girls 

always the minority...?
• why •

although, a lady isn't afraid to be in the minority

when she takes a stand on something important to her.

a lady is a women of style & substance.


 { • a lady is what i am trying to be • }

i need thee every hour...

I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord; 
 no tender voice like thine can peace afford. 
 I need thee, O I need thee; 
 every hour I need thee; 
 O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.

.my love of fashion.

when i was a senior in high school,
in my history class we had to write and ode.

and of course... knowing me.. mine is on fashion.
here is a picture of it.

i actually really liked writing this!

Cinderella is proof that
a pair of shoes can
change your life

purses are like chocolates
you can't have just one

"i feel my best
wearing anything-
jeans, slacks, a dress,
a mini-as long as
i have on a pair
of extra-high heals."

as with fashion itself reputations
are built not on perfection
but on the diamond-brightness
of a womens individually

we go shopping for a celebration,
or a way to cheer us up.
that is why beauty is pain.
i tell my story through my style,
but the true me is what is inside.

seeeyyaaa spring 

 

a couple weeks ago i went to the Provo Temple.

 {  no not to stock my missionaries  }

and as i was walking out a

sweet lady says to me: 

"looks like you've been busy."

i said, "yes i have!"

and we both walk out the door and

i know we both had that feeling of delight 

as you do when you walk out of the 

gorgeous temple

that feeling of delight is when you know you are worthy to be 

at the temple in the lords presence

and are doing service for your heavenly father above.

♥

as we get outside i realized what a wonderful day it was.

it really was such a beautiful day,

so i said that to her and she agreed

and she says.. "who did you come here with"

i said shamelessly, "myself."

and the sweet women says,

"yeah, we don't need anyone do we"

{ i'm pretty sure she was a widow }

and i thought to myself.

NO! i don't! i dont need no anyone.

all i need is the lord 

and one day, he will provide me with my

darling husband♥

.soon i hope.
