It's full bloom and I don't have to assume that it's my Father's nature to be on time, it seems like majority of the time I'm forced to stand in line against others.  But it's ok because the humble shall be exalted and my time is coming soon, theres no way it's not with these flowers in full bloom, opportunity is his.  I can't sit around wondering "well, why not", and "what if", I have to just live.  It's the talents that have to make room for themselves I've tried to do it alone and always failed, I've tried to plead with the judge but never made bail, I've tried......and now I think I'm tired of trying, tired of wiping away tears from crying, tired of pretending and denying, I'm tired.  So here is my appeal, Father I need your divine hands to take this wheel called my life, steer me to safety and allow my dreams to catch flight.  You are the potter and I am the clay thanking you for being so careful with me........  The stage has been set and the flowers laid out and this time without a doubt, I'm on my way!!!

Myself and Christian Riley of Chrissyjoystyle.com decided to let our girlie powers activate and collab.  She and I share so many of the same interests, but our strongest thread is Jesus, we attend the same church here in the city, therockchurches.com and we love it.  This shoot was inspired by a ball gown tulle skirt from my couture collection that she adored and paired with her a vintage sequin blouse and leopard pumps (her signature).

My look is similar, I have a blouse that I got at a vintage sale accompanied by a C.Adeola double layered tulle skirt,  paired with my Tory Burch  metallic gold pumps, and topped of with a C.Adeola flower crown (which will also be a DIY coming soon) and my mini Louis Vuitton bowler bag.

Make up:  I also did our faces as well, Christian's face is set with a mixture of Smash Box High Def. Healthy Skin Foundation in "Dark2" mixed with CC Cream by Sephora  I set her foundation with N.Y.C  Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder in "Naturally Beige".  On her eyes I primed them with NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Milk" and her shadows are from the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette, her lips are NYX's lipstick in "Sierra", lastly her blush is from the Blush Combo Palette from Coastal Scents.

My Face: I set my skin with my usual powder foundation from sephora (view older posts) highlighted with Laura Mercier illuminating powder, eyeliner and mascara (view older post) my eyeliner is a shadow from my Sigma Palette called "Allure"  blush (view older post), lastly my lips are MAC, in color magenta mixed with the matching gloss.

We're just two Queens in the City!

Fly away with me, come fly lets fly away....to a land of milk and honey, without any hesitation or delay.  Let me love the person who you are and will become, let me inhale your heavenly perfume, I want to make a life with you, I want to be the woman who you've knelt down nightly for, the woman God placed in your path to love and explore.  I've been told that marriage is like a devotional page in a chapter book, and the only one my FATHER  permits to contribute to my pages is YOU, and if you've sought after the heart of My Father then that means your one step closer, closer to being my life, my Lord, my King, because a man that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing......As I hold these balloons and look up to the sky, I'll release my grip exhale and let them FLY, hoping that one day they find you....................
