Chic Nudes

Hey guys! I've been so busy the past few days,so I haven't had time to put together outfit pictures but I will have some coming soon, so look out for them! Today I was playing around on polyvore and decided to put together some of my favorite nude pieces. What I love about all of these pieces is that they are relaxed but chic at the same time. I love the leather jacket, and white polka dots with the blush colored sweater. These jeans are perfect for the outfit, they come above the ankle so it causes the heels to stand out, and they are light washed so it's not distracting from the rest of the outfit. I'm a big fan of Chanel, and the chain bag and pearl earrings will forever remain my two favorite Channel pieces of all time. I like that the bracelet is gold, I think it compliments the rest of the outfit well because it doesn't blend in. Nude lipstick is the best because it looks natural and goes with everything, and this Essie matte nail polish is my favorite color from the brand. Hope you enjoy these chic nudes as much as I do!
Love,
Sofia

Hi guys! So for the past few days God has really been dealing with me on how I view my possessions as well as other peoples possessions. When it comes to things like clothes, makeup, jewelry, shoes, I become pretty obsessive. I love fashion, and I feel like God has given me a passion for it in order to glorify his name. But lately I've been viewing material things like clothes in a way the Jesus doesn't want us to view them. That's when I came across this bible verse above. It really opened my eyes to how were supposed to view material things. First of all were not supposed to be greedy of what others have. We're all guilty of this! Sometimes I'll see a girl with really cute expensive shoes, or a celebrity on TV with a Chanel bag and I'll say in my head "I wish I had that" or "If only I could afford that I would be so happy." This is a major mistake! When I die and go to heaven I'm not taking expensive shoes or a Chanel bag with me! The only thing I'm taking is my soul, my heart. And that's what real life is measured by, not by what we have, but by our hearts and that we are content with Christ and live not for ourselves but for Jesus. I challenge all of you as I challenge myself to remember what this life is about and that the material things we have will soon fade but the love we have from God is forever. "be content with what you have, because
God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

Sunday Pleats

When it comes to pleats I am extremely picky. They have to be placed just right and have the perfect fit and color. When I came across this pleated peplum shirt at Target I instantly fell in love and that's a rare thing for me when it comes to pleats. My first favorite thing about this shirt is that it has a peplum design. I love peplum, it accentuates the waist and can dress up a simple outfit. The second thing I love about this shirt is that it's black. The black causes the pleats to not be to over the top but subtle and simple.

I paired this shirt with Chipped indigo slim flit flared jeans, I liked the relaxed look the pants gave the outfit. And last but not least to finish it off, cream pink earring studs from Wet Seal, that are my new obsession.

Love,

Sofia

Happy Saturday!

Hey guys! Today has been such a nice day! The weather was beautiful! I took some really great pictures for the next outfit post! Those will hopefully be up tomorrow! With tonight's post I want to talk about this amazing documentary I stumbled upon today. It's called "Beware of Christians". If you haven't seen it I highly recommend that you do it's extremely eye opening and humbling. One thing that stood out to me the most was a quote they put in the very beginning.
"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyles. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." - Brennan Manning

This hit me really hard. As a Christian God calls us to not only talk about Jesus and say we're going to follow his commands but actually do them! If we say one thing and do another non Christians will get a twisted view of Christianity and may reject it. So as Christians lets remember to live in love and imitate Christ through all of our actions.
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. - Romans 2:13
I hope you guys can get something out of this, I know I did! And don't forget to watch "Beware of Christians" you won't regret it!!!!
Love,
Sofia

Fashion Inspiration (Solange Knowles)

Yes! Finally it's Friday! I'm so ready for a break from this busy week! Today I decided to post outfits from one of my favorite Fashionistas. Solange Knowles (Beyonce's sister) has an amazing style that I'm in love with. I love the way she uses color, and her outfits are always so clean and simple yet eye catching. These four outfits showcase everything I love about her personal style. Denim on denim, color blocking, polka dots, and blazers with body con dresses are some of my favorite fashion trends and she demonstrates them perfectly. I hope you enjoy these outfits as much as I do!
Love,
Sofia
