let the new years resolutions begin!

Today is the start of a brand new year! 2012!!! I am super excited to start all over....with new dreams, ideas, visions and relationships! 2011 is gone forever and I look forward to starting a new chapter. So far I'm actually following through with my "12 things to thrive for in 2012." # 7 is looking good so far! (padding myself on the back)






SO.....LET THE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS BEGIN!








JAN has started off so great! Today I went to Light Up UCF and had a blast with my family and close friend Dannelle....funny story about Dannelle and me. We actually went to High School together but never actually met until this past year! (aka 2011) How weird is that!!!! We lived in the same neighborhood, had a lot of the same friends, rode the same bus to school and prayed at the flag pole in the morning too!! Woah! It was a divine appointment for us to meet this year and I must say she has been one of my best friends. I had a blast with her today and look forward to many many more moments together!

hope your new year is starting off great! 

and if NOT! SMILE! you're alive....

LoveSick Films

here are some of my all time favorite LoveSick movies! i could watch them a hundred times!

idlewild is by far my all time favorite movie....dont let the movie cover fool you! this is a love story. I also love all the amazing outfits from that time period. A MUST SEE!!!

lovely romance and musical, great twist to classic songs we all know and love

best love story ever....enough said

i have always loved this movie even as a child....deep down i just knew i would have a happy ever after <3

(and i stil do!)

my new favorite Disney movie! (not just because she's black lol although thats pretty awesome) but because she falls in love and also gets to live out her dreams that she wanted even as a young girl.....love, love, love it!

the BIG question

the other day i got this lovely note in the mail from my friend Hali (who got engaged in November!!! whoo-hoo) and at first i thought it was the wedding invitation which had me a little confused....but when i opened it Hali asked me "to be her bridesmaid!" i am so honored to be a part of her special day. i had to share the great news!

congrats hali and ian!!!!

12 things to thrive for in 2012

i must say...i am super excited to be able to check off a lot of the goals i have for 2012.

the one i'm looking forward to the MOST is "go see Candace in ATL" my cousin (Candace) moved there over a year ago and we hardly see one another....so i cant wait!!!

the hardest, well i mean most challenging goal to complete this year is "be on time -besides being on time for work." in college and all through my life actually i have always been a very punctual person. so i dont know what happened to me when i moved back to orlando but it seems like i can never be on time :( 

but this year, things will change!

great for a christmas party

yep! thats my dad in the mirror....he's such an awesome guy to take these pictures for me :)

this outfit is perfect for work christmas parties or any christmas party.....

top: (actually is a jumper) from kohls in lauren conrad's line

belt: comes with the jumper....score!

skirt: thrifted

earrings: francescas collections
