Heidelberg 

12.11.16

Hey guys!

For those of you who didnt know, im currently in Europe and I recently visited my brother -who lives in Germany. We decided to go on a lil adventure to the city of Heidelberg. It was so beautiful there. We did some touristy things like taking pictures of the old architecture as well as walked up the to the castle- which is a ruin and a landmark of Heidelberg. And not to mention the amazing view of the city from up there!

Did I mention the BEST ice cream EVER can also be found in Heidelberg! At Schmelzpunkt Pure deliciousness - My favorite flavors were Macadamia Caramel, Brownie Heidelberg Fudge & Mango! Id highly recommend.

Despite the weather, Heidelberg was a wonderful experience. It was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend visiting when in Germany. 

Thank you all so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed today's blog post! I wish you a blessed weekend further until next time. 

'The Lord is near to all who call on Him, To all who call on Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He also will hear their cry and will save them.'

Day to Night Transition | AUrate New York

Day to Night Jewelry Transition

10.08.16

I recently came across AUrate New York, a company which specializes in real gold jewelry. Lately I've really been into gold, the great thing about real gold is that it is going to last literally forever, yes its pricey but think about it; you never going to have them turning your fingers green or the actual pieces turning black! So for today's post I am going to show you how I would transition some for my favorite pieces from AUrate onto a day to night outfit. 

Day Look: Simple Chic

   

For the day outfit I went for something easy and casual.Slip dresses are definitely a trend for this Spring. For this look I opted for AUrate's unstated pieces, keeping to the simplicity of the dress. I styled the dress with their X earrings, Gold Bar necklace & Stack able rings. For shoes I went for these tie leg sandals and a small cross body.

Night Look: Chunky Chic

For the night look I switched up the jewelry for some chunkier pieces; The close bracelet, mini pendant necklace and the large back earrings from the flower collection. For shoes I opted for some platform heels and a clutch.

The cool thing about AUrate New York is that you can customize the pieces you would like. You can choose the material you'd prefer between 14k Gold / 18k Gold or Vermeil. You can also choose between White/Rose/Yellow Gold. Be sure to check out AUrate, I guarantee you'll find something that fits your style!

Thank you so much for reading. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A BLESSED WEDNESDAY!

God Bless

Autumn / Winter | OOTD

Autumn/Winter OOTD 

06.08.16

 

Hey guys!

I thought I would share an Autumn / Winter outfit with you, before Winter ends, as we are swiftly approaching Spring; Yay for pastel season.For today's OOTD I added a touch of edge to the basic blue jeans and white shirt combo. I paired this frill detailed shirt with a simple pair of blue skinny jeans. By tucking the shirt into the jeans I added some shape taking away from the boxy fit of the shirt. For shoes I opted for these brown  lace-up heeled boots and accessorized with a maroon fedora hat, my everyday jewelry and these cool shades. If you'd like to see how I rocked this look, you can, by clicking the video below!

Golden | OOTD

 GOLDEN 
16.07.16

These trousers are definitely some of my favorite. The cut, the colour and the style is simply perfect! I like these pants because they are high waisted, which means it gives shape and can be paired with a cropped or over-sized piece perfectly. Trousers are most certainly a must have in any collection, as they are an easy piece that is simple yet looks well put together and can easily be dressed down. 

For this look I paired the trousers with a black short sleeved knit top. I wanted to stick to similar colours so I opted for these black and gold booties. Because I kept the outfit so neutral I wanted to add some print by accessorizing with this navy and beige floral scarf to tie the look together. For jewelry I went for some gold rings and my everyday watch.

Have a blessed weekend!

Tee & Jeans | OOTD

Tee & Jeans

10.06.16

There is nothing more classic than a Jeans and Tee combo! Its a simple outfit that can easily be spiced up with a chunky necklace, funky heels or a cool blazer. However for this post I decided to keep my look minimal and chic. I went for clean cuts and monochromatic colours.  

For this look I paired a high-neck T-shirt with these light grey (slightly hi-waist) skinny jeans. To tie the look together and add some height I opted for black chunky heels (they're definitely my go-to heels- They match nearly any outfit and are so comfy) To complete this minimal look I accessorized with some rings and these dangling earrings.

Banana Cocoa Smoothie | DIY

BANANA COCOA SMOOTHIE

19.05.16

Yesterday I made the BEST smoothie ever! A banana cocoa smoothie. Now I normally don't eat banana but the recipe sounded good, so I decided to give it a try. And by this post, you can guess -I loved it- It tastes like a chocolate milkshake,It has a delicious chocolaty / nutty flavor and you can barely taste the banana. The best part, its totally cool to have for breakfast and it is quite fulling as well. Score!

DIY Banana Cocoa Smoothie:

Serves: One

You'll need:

A blender

1 Small/medium Banana

A few chunks of Pineapple

1 Teaspoon of Cocoa

4 Cubes of Plain Yogurt (I keep mine in the freezer)

1 Teaspoon of Peanut Butter

1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

Some milk or water for consistency  

Oats (optional - I didn't add any)

Blend Away...

Place all your ingredients into the blender except milk/water, blend for 

about one minute,then add milk/water and blend some more until desired consistency is reached.

Enjoy!

A little encouragement: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight

" That's a promise he will never break! He is not a man he will never lie! He hears all our prayers. 

Our time will come, Because "His timing is always perfect, even when our trust in it is not."

Thank You for reading. Have a blessed day!
