The Self-Proclaimed...

Hello Lover

As of this post, I proclaim myself the queen of thrifting! HA! 

Today, I made an impromptu thrift store run. 

I've been feeling rather uninspired lately and today's trip might just be what I needed. 

I got to Salvation Army at 5:45pm only to realize the store was closing at 6pm.

I was determined to NOT leave empty handed and I had a budget of $20.

In 10 mins I found 3 blazers, a skirt and a dress and stayed within my budget. 

check out what I got!

Hello Lover, 

I had such an AWESOME night last night. 

A few girls planned a night of style and I was so honored they sent an invite my way. 

We dressed up, had a beautiful room set up for us at The Lord Nelson Hotel, 2 men to serve us an abundance of wine, sangria and hors d'oeuvres. We talked make-up, fashion, business, dreams and inspirations and to top it off danced our behinds off!

The night was FANTASTIC!! I can't wait to share pictures with you when I get them.

For now, check out what I wore. 

Love,

an extension of the individual

Hello Lover, 

I found a quote a couple of days ago that I absolutely loved, thought I'd share it with you!

Dressing oneself is not a talent, it's simply an extension of the individual. - unknown

Everyday, I am mindful of what I wear as it represents who I am and what I believe in.  

Yesterday I had a photo shoot to change my banner. You know me.... I need change!

Loved putting together this outfit.  A BIG thank you to my friend Cho for an afternoon filled with laughs, storytelling and great shots.

Hope you love the outfit and the new banner my lovers! 

Love, 

Mo

friends who love tea

Hello Lover, 

Today I had a chilled day.

After running some errands I met up with the besties for tea. 

David's Tea has, by far, some of the BEST tea. 

I tried a new flavor, Forever Nuts and it was delicious! 

Give it a try next time you pass by David's Tea!

Check out pics of my laid back outfit and the amigo and amiga!

Love,

D.I.Y - The Universe Necklace

Hello Lover, 

So I literally have a whole folder of DIY projects I would love to try from some of my favorite blogs. 

Today I finally decided to try one of them. 

Inspired By Gretchen Jones' Universe Necklace

[source]

The DIY is from one of my fav blogs Honestly, WTF.

To see the rest of the steps to make your necklace click HERE.

I didn't want to spend money on brass rings so I scavenged for rings I had surprisingly kept from a curtain I had thrifted a long time ago! I also borrowed a few clear rings from an old necklace. 

Below is how mine turned out! 

I hope you like it because I happen to LOVE it! 

Love,

Mo

Cupcakes & Tea

Hello Lover, 

Just a quick post of a tea date I had with Tosan over the weekend.

Hope you had a good weekend. 

Love,

TUTU

A little while ago I received 2 pairs of earrings in the mail from the gorgeous Tulani! 

We met on facebook or rather I was drawn to a pic of her that I stumbled on and I stalked her .

In our keeping in touch I learnt she loved making earrings. I'm happy to share with you a few pieces that she has made.  Check out her store TUTU.

enjoy!

Love,
