I feel like I've been pregnant forever, but its finally time for me to go to the hospital to deliver my little princess! I am being induced tomorrow and I am feeling so many emotions. Im nervous, anxious, happy, scared, and excited all in one! I can't even wrap my head around this overdrive of emotions.
The first thing I realized when my doctor told me that I would be induced tomorrow was that I was not packed! I rushed home to get my bags together! I didn't even know where to start so I asked my friends, and of course, went on a trusty google search to find the things that I needed to pack for the days that I would be in the hospital.
Sophia Webster is known for the unique designs and intricate details that go into her shoe designs. I have indulged in Sophia Webster shoes in the past when I fell in love with her butterfly adorned heels and metallic leather trims. If you don't know what I'm talking about I highly recommend that you do a quick google search into Sophia Webster Butterfly heels.
Shown in this post are the Sophia Webster "Flo" high heel sandal featuring a unique flamingo heel and metallic pink leather design. Upon the release of these absolute gorgeous works of art, I was saddened when I added to cart only to find out that my size had been sold out. I felt like the rug had been pulled out from under me. I signed up for the email list and waited patiently for these beauties to be restocked. Finally, approaching my birthday, I received the email that my size was back in stock and now it was time to wait for the mail truck to arrive!
These shoes are so much more gorgeous in person. They are created with metallic leather that holographically shines in the light. I tried to do my best to capture the shine in the images that I took.
Sizing - I would recommend going up at least half a size when ordering these. The unique flamingos make a 4 inch heel, so they are quite high.
Sites such as Zappos, and Farfetch have had the shoes in stock up until recently. If you continue to have trouble finding your size, sign up for the email restock alerts directly on SophiaWebster.com for these shoes and I'm sure you will be able to grab a pair if you're quick!
As I started upon my journey into real estate, I knew my taste in reading had to change a bit. I'm not cutting out my magical fantastic adventure stories, but the majority of my reading will be in the realm of business since I do feel like I am hitting a learning curve. I have has an urge to read up on successful business practices and mindset adjustment into entrepreneurship. I want to alleviate that feeling of not knowing, and at least put myself in a state of awareness, even to the things that I may not have had any exposure to.
There are roughly 6,500 languages spoken on planet Earth. Language is a special and unique human ability. As adults, we remember our days in school when different languages were shoved at us in bland, uninspiring ways, and we probably hoped our hardest to pick up the language over time, just to barely get by and pass the class without really learning anything that stuck.
I don't drive a car. I drive a portable locker room.
Sports moms and dads know the struggle. Wake up, work, take kids to sports, eat, sleep, repeat. But, we wouldn't have it any other way. Being in the role of the "sports parent" is tough. You have to be your child's biggest fan, someone who can lend a listening ear, their chauffeur, motivational speaker, and honest critic.
Here's to a fresh new start in a new year to make your dreams a reality by accomplishing one goal at a time. 2018 has been a fantastic year and I'm extremely grateful to have the opportunities that I have had. I wanted to ring in 2019 with my sparkliest ensemble! I chose to wear my crystal embellished pants from HotMiamiStyles.com. These are currently still available and were about $60. They sparkle so intensely and it reminded me of how intense my need to fulfill my dream is.
It's the holiday season and I lured myself into Sephora to scope out all of the holiday gift sets, mini sets, fragrances, and all the other goodies. I was also hoping to get to swatch any Huda palettes that were on display at Sephora and luckily the New Nude palette was on display, and there was one left for sale. I swatched the glittering shades, fell in love, and quickly grabbed a hold of my very own palette to take home. Having a little security device attached to the palette, the slightest jolt of me lifting it out of the display case set the device off to embarrass me throughout the entire store as I kept shopping since no workers even batted an eye. Finally, someone approached me to assist and allowed me to leave the palette at the front counter while I continued to shop, so I could save myself the embarrassment of walking around Sephora with a beeping and blinking palette.
I also decided to pick up a lip gloss from Anastasia Beverly Hills because clearly having 76 other pink shades to choose from at home is just not enough. At this point, this is becoming a collection and just acquiring more shades of pinks and nudes is like a game...that one can never win.
The Fenty Beauty counter was another big hit. Rihanna has hit said gold with the release of her incredible beauty line. Every item perfectly curated and thought through. I decided to get myself the Diamond Bomb and be that girl that leaves behind a little glitter everywhere she goes. The diamond bomb glitter is so finely milled and buttery to the touch, I know I will use it. I have been looking for something that will give me that glimmering glow. This summer was all about the glowing oils, but my long hair, and living in South Florida, puts an end to that fun real quick.
I enjoyed my little retail therapy session and have quenched my holiday thirst for Sephora goodies. I will be sharing my little haul from Kylie Cosmetics on here as well so keep an eye out for that. In the mean time, I will be doing a look and swatches using this palette and the lip gloss that I picked up. I'm excited to share!
This shirt reminds me of that one episode of Seinfeld where Jerry Seinfeld is wearing this puffy shirt that he refers to as a "pirate shirt". Kramer and another woman start a clothing line and Jerry is going to model the puffy shirt because the pirate trend is going to the next big thing according to their style predictions. The episode is hilarious and every time I wear this shirt I think of it. This style had a huge comeback when Gucci reintroduced the puffy shirt, and many other clothing brands started to follow along.
I did some early cyber Monday shopping today. KKW Fragrances dropped at all Ulta stores nationwide today for a limited time. I have purchased one KKW Fragrance around Valentine's Day when KKW released her adorable V-day hearts perfumes. I loved the BFF one and went for it due to the scent of marshmallow and vanilla tones that were in it. The downside is that you can't smell the fragranced before you buy them, but the V-day collection was $35 and that doesn't really hurt. Luckily I love the fragrance and it is one of my staple scents. KKW Fragrances have released a Crystal collection and a Kimoji collection, but I could never decide which ones I wanted, and not being able to smell them to see if I liked them totally turned me away...until now! I headed down to my local Ulta and smelled to my little hearts desire! I decided that I must have the Crystal Gardenia scent, and I actually picked it up. I also have my heart set on the Kimoji peach scent. It was so fresh and fruity.
The KKW Crystal Gardenia scent hit a high note with me. I knew I just had to buy it right away because it reminded me of the scents I was around when I traveled to the Cote d'Azur in France. Women there smell divine. Every woman I walked past had a lingering, beautiful scent. I couldn't pinpoint if it was a scent of jasmine, honeysuckle, or gardenia. When I smelled the KKW Crystal Gardenia, it smelled so similar to what I dreamed about in France, that I just had to have it. I'm going to douse myself in it and walk round like those gorgeous French women down the streets of Cannes.
How was your day? Did you buy anything during the cyber Monday sales? Or perhaps on Black Friday?
