Summer Skater


Skater dresses has been a must have item for every girl this past year. I've seen so many variations that often too many times they began to look a like. I adore the look, but I wanted something different then what was out there. Of course, you know I had to make my own. 

I decided to use the left over fabric I had from my maxi dress I made, which I posted about early on this season; Summer Leaves (Take a look)


I created a simple skirt bottom using my sisters skater dress she bought from H&M. Then I decided to drape the bodice, because like I said before I wanted something different. I asked my mannequin, "Mannequin what should I do" and it told me. I gave the front a cross bodice. Picture making an X with the fabric on your chest. Having more fabric on the bottom than the top. I sewed the bottom on to the skirt waist and sewed the shoulders. This ended up creating a great look and cute cut out on the sides. 

I truly love this dress. It is fun, flirty and trendy!!!

Holiday Style // Love Red

Classic red is just a style tradition. You can't go without wearing red during the holiday season. It's about as normal as drinking water.  What I love is the variations of red. This coat was one I got last year from my church. It was around the time I really wasn't working and couldn't afford to get a warm coat.

Zara Flats on a New Journey

I'm on fire and I need this hydrate to cool me off! You know why, because I'm back guys! I'm back and I brought my bestfriend along and his name is Jesus. Let me let you in on what's been going on for the past two months. I have been engulfed in my church, a church that is beyond amazing. The Rock Church ! It’s not your typical church! It’s non-denominational and not religious. It is more so about building a relationship with God and understanding he said come as you are! Meaning he loves you for you! Wow, someone who loves me for me, mistakes and all.
