standing on....

It's been a while! Not even for sure if anyone still reads, but that's OK- getting words out into the great wide open does the mind good! When decisions are made and reality settles in remorse is also soon to creep in. The last couple of weeks have been tough, a mind full of wondering can leave you confused. So how, how do we deal? We find what it is that we are standing on. If we/ I can find something that keeps us focused, driven, and ready then doubt has no place.

"I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out- plans to take care of you, NOT abandon you, plans to give you the future you hoped for."
Jeremiah 29: 10-11 MSG

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9 NIV


These scriptures are my block of choice to stand on.
If you understand the love God has for us then you can remind yourself:
Hey, Jessica, He knows where you are and where you need to go.
FAITH. TRUST. AND A LITTLE BIT OF PIXIE DUST

...it doesn't hurt to travel the path with some spec shoes!!!!

Studs & Stilettos

Studs and Stilettos are by far two of my favorite things. If I'm honest you must know in the summer months I prefer a barefoot, but when fall roles around and a slight chill, the stilettos are a MUST! Its amazing to see this shoe transform in so many ways. I remember as a small little girl playing dress up I thought the day would never come when these fabulous shoes would actually fit (even know I'm a full 6 1/2). The transformations are endless and change within mere seasons. This style however, is my favorite yet. Its a classic point but with such a modern flare. Colors, fabrics, and cuts are so individual, very fun..and I must say my shoe budget might need an increase.
In terms of studs, well, I've always rocked a more gaudy approach. This season and these styles I feel that might be changing. Studs are no longer the 6 week dread of freshly pierced ears. I love a simple statement and studs seem to do that little trick every time.

Where are you finding yourself? In studs and stilettos?

K.I.S.S

K.I.S.S.
Keeping it Simply Stupid

As the years quickly pass by I believe a sense of maturity settles and you open your eyes to life and what it holds for you. As the shop matures, the kids continue to grow, and I see in a new light, the K.I.S.S plan becomes more of a goal then an acronym. Dress can be so much fun and salts love true gaud, but there is something to be said for a woman who dances in a neutral silhouette. It screams confidence and security. I challenge you to be comfortable in even the simplest outfit and know that beauty comes from within.

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment,...Rather it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."
1 Peter 3:1-8

Spring Break.

 

 

 

 

 

Its quite windy and slightly chilly here on the Outer Banks, its a no go to the bikini. But that is just fine, grab a good book and hit the beach. Envelope yourself in a warm cardigan, throw on some shades and sit back soaking up salt air listening to the sounds of a relentless ocean.

 

 

PS. Dont forget the new BB Dakota Cardi we just recieved @ The Slough
