Girl Power

'The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down Proverbs  14:1'

Happy International  Women's day, how are you doing? The world would be meaningless without women, I love strong, independent women, who aren't afraid  to be who God wants them to be. Women who are great influence  to those around them and to the society at large, women who build their homes whether  they are single single or married.  Women who stand in the gap praying for others, women who are intercessor,  counselors, peace makers.

There are loads of women with such attributes in the Bible, who through  them great men were born. Women like Deborah, Sarah, Esther, Mary, Ruth.

It is my prayer we will continue to remain  strong for ourselves, families and to the whole world.

As you can see we got the Girl Power going on here, we decided to go with denim on denim for that chic look. I love photos hoots with my girls it's all fun, fun, fun. Today was a good day at least Sachi allowed us take pictures of her she was camera ready lol and no I didn't have to 'bribe' her with anything.

Enjoy the pics lovelies.

Happy New Month beautiful people. Welcome to the month of March, I am really excited can't wait for what God has in store for us, this month is my Seville's first birthday, How time flies seems like yesterday when he was born. I am very grateful to God for His blessings, His mercies, His love and tender loving kindness.

My outfit today was inspired by this lovely houndstooth  dress which was Thrifted got it for £4, I have had it for a while and when I thought of putting together a black and white themed outfit I knew it had to come out of my closet. With my lovely striped blazer from HM, it made the outfit classy and chic too. Black and white is always a perfect combination, if you want that clean look and you want to play safe sometimes then this colour  combination  is for you.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
