It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas, even though the tree behind me is bordered up doesn't mean that my anticipation has to follow, because its the smell in the air that keeps reminding me that the time is almost HERE!  LIFE and TIME I DO NOT OWN, but with all of the dreams in my heart's overflow I.... AM..... EXPECTING!  Its the nine months of conception since birth that has paved the way to right now, no matter of when or how life is DESTINED for me, prostrate or bended on one knee "your with me always", so with this ring I THEE WED the assurance of being greater than the past, and with the NEW YEAR approaching I tip my glass, to all that awaits ME!!!

Bases are loaded and I'm on deck not needing the approval of the world or its respect, all I need is your word with my hands painted in the sky, I'm synonymous with success, VICTORY is the label BURNED on my chest, because this world won't define me, being unable to confine me, words can NEVER HURT ME because HE was bruised and battered for my inequities chained and whipped for my infirmities rising AGAIN so that I can see....... that I AM FREE.

Makeup: Same as "Pink Skies and Butterflies"

This is a man's world, this is a man's world......but trust me, their world can be nothing without a woman's handddddddd.......... not saying it forcefully since some of you can't seem to understand that I AM A LADY! made from the very hands that have crafted my existence ceasing to exist unless you are in it, is a CHOICE not weakness.  We've spent a lifetime in the school for charm trying to learn how to fold our napkins and cross our arms to be seated next to YOU in front of the world.  With portrayal dripping in diamonds and pearlssssssss and in an instant, I wake up from my dream.  Looking around to see who's watching me I cover the hole at the knee of my jeans, I sit up and fix my outward appearance as my eyes gaze off over the clearance to see GOD's rainbow reminding meeeee of who I AM, The great I AM crafted me from the very side of a man named after HIS likeness, said that we should exist together not separately so WHY have we spent all of eternity fighting, it's the age old question un-answered by the masses, "Hey GIRLS move those HIPS, and bounce those asses" is what society believes that we are....... HEY LADIES WHY IS IT THAT, we've come so far, to take ourselves back in time, to a time when we were not even considered a real person. Now we use phrases like "get naked for the gram," Girl I'm tryna get chose and "ooohh whats wrong with her she must ain't got no man" to depict who we are in life.  Now don't get me wrong I LOVE a relationship done holy and right in God's pleasing sight, I just feel like we are losing the best part of who we are and that's a five letter word called.......... WOMAN!!

Makeup Look: same as New Year Lights post.

Without the appearance of Black there can be no White.  Without the appearance of darkness there can be no light!  Without the appearance of HIM there can be no me, without the appearance of them there can not be three.  I dropped the ball a lot in life but it never stopped me from going, and my diligence is what keeps me glowing throughout my Black and White.

This look is special to me because it includes my love of vintage restoration and designing.
My Coat is by Angel Secret, my Box Blazer is vintage Neiman Marcus restored and enhanced by me C Adeola, my blouse is from Ross, and my skirt is by me C Adeola, my tights are from H&M and boots from Payless.
