Opinions!!!

My sister, cousin and I went to a church near our house yesterday for Palm Sunday. The Sermon was a continuation of a series titled 'Holiness'. The message we heard was titled 'Holiness with people'. One of the points the Pastor was talking about was opinions that we have of people.

After listening to the sermon I realised that, we spend so much time condemning people and complaining about what they do, wear, say or even how they look, when we are in NO way perfect ourselves. We always feel that we need to add our 2pence about people.

The fact of the matter is, in this short life that we live, we should focus more on spending more time building people up as oppose to bringing people down. We should encourage one another and love people for who they are. What people wear will not stop them entering the kingdom of heaven. We should realise that eternal life is based on an individuals relationship with God. You are not more 'Holy' than somebody because you cover every inch of your body in material, or because you have no tattoos or piercings.

So to cut a long blog post short lol, LETS LOVE ONE ANOTHER, BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER AND PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER!!!

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL
SELAH!

Spring Jewelry Trends To Try Now!

5 Spring Jewelry Trends To Try Now!

This season, there are a handful of themes that have us reshuffling our spring/summer must-haves. From colossal cabochon-style stones to the sexiest tassels and fringe, our favorite spring jewelry trends really run the gamut of wearable art.

 

ENJOY....

1.Big Mixed Cabochon-Style Stones—The last few seasons have been like jewelry on steroids. Not that we'll ever say no to a great statement necklace. But this spring, the Big idea that caught our eye was the use of giant Cabochon-style stones, à la Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta. Organic and elegant.

2. Tassels & Fringe—Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Dior all seemed to have an Art Deco-meets-'70s moment with the re-imagining of huge, gorgeous tassel earrings and fringe necklaces. We like, and this is one we'll be wearing.

Above, clockwise from top left: Louis Vuitton spring 2011 runway, photo courtesy of Louis Vuitton; Iosselliani Skull Fringe Earrings, $195, available at Barneys New York; Hive & Honey Art Deco Fringe Earrings, $24.99, available at Piperlime; Old Navy Chain Earrings, $7.50, available at Old Navy; Madewell Flapper Fringe Necklace, $62, available at Madewell.

3. Clean & Architectural—Perhaps as a back-lash to all the mixed piled-on pearls, chains, and stones that continue to fill boutiques, Pamela Love, Giles & Brother, and other designers opted for super spare, clean, and almost architectural pieces. And for the OCD or easily distracted, the simplicity is nothing short of refreshing.

4.Plastics & Perspex—The trend toward really childlike, whimsical jewels with a '60s feel always has a place in our wardrobes. So, for spring, we were doubly excited when designers like Karen Walker and Marni turned out fun plastic-fantastic necklaces and wide perspex-like colored cuff bracelets.

5.Rose-Gold—In fashion, it's always a guessing game each season as to who in the metals will prevail: silver or gold? Well, for spring, the more exotic rose-gold is stealing center-stage, with a striking necklace by Eddie Borgo and a surprisingly sophisticated Michael Kors watch taking top honors on our spring/summer wish-list.

Above, clockwise from top left: Eddie Borgo Rose Gold-Plated Labradorite Necklace, $625, available at Net-A-Porter; Made Her Think Talon Rose Gold Vermeil Ring, $149.50, available at Made Her Think; Jules Smith Rock On Earrings, $60, available at Max & Chloe; Michael Kors Glitz Watch, $250, available Michael Kors; House of Harlow 1960 Rose Gold-Plated Stack Ring, $20, available at Endless.

I'm a big fan of Diddy's 'Train Movement' that he has going on with his group Diddy Dirty Money. The trio group that was orginally supposed to consist of two guys and a girl, now consists of Kalena, Dawn and Diddy.
