Hotter than a Mosquitos Tweeter


Dress: Gifted (thanks Meygan)
Shirt: Hubbies
Sandals: Target
Necklace: Forever 21


Its hot here...like 100 degrees hot! Theres no hiding from it. Its so hot, the air conditioners dont even matter. With that said, my husband is the king of wearing whatever he wants regardless of the temperature. Its like hes too cool to sweat :)
So this morning I decided to throw some sleeves on and try his method. Wouldnt you know it, I was cool as a cucumber all day! Perhaps its just a mental thing....Who am I trying to fool? Its HOT!!!
Sidenote: There will be no 30 for 30 from us this summer. Its too much of a hassle for us this time around. Maybe next time :)

Camera Fright?



Top: TJ Maxx
Jeans: Bitten
Sandals: Target
I know im not the most photogenic person in the world, actually Im extremely far from it. Im always extra fidgety when Im in front of the camera. To remedy this I plan to throw my nerves out of the window and see if it helps any. The first thing I should probably fix is all the talking while the camera is on me...perhaps one day I will post the many crazy faces of Keesha :)
Any of you feel the same way? What do you do to remedy the terrible personal shots of yourself?
Hope you had a great Wednesday!

Wisdom-less




Dress & Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Nine West via Shoe Carnival

Good day all! I dont have much to say today. I think its probably because I had one of my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday so Im one tooth dumber :)
Today was a much better day though. Why you may ask? I think its because its a sunshiny day outside and I got a new lens for my camera....happy days for me :)

Twisted Fate






-Picture taken the day before the storm-

1970s Floral Dress: Totally Thrifted
Smile on my face and sunshine: Priceless

So, we really want to thank all of you for your emails of concern. We (Keesha and Deon) are doing okay. Like Keesha said, we are finally getting things back to normal. I have to tell you that nothing that you saw on CNN gave this situation any justice but slowly and with much prayer things will get back to normal. Please promise us that you will live life to the fullest... you never know when a some form of "twisted fate" will change your life.

Rolls of Thunder Here My Cry!!!

So, I have a confession... this is going to sound vain but bear with me here. I am very confident. This is not my opinion it is just the truth. You can only imagine how much confidence it takes to wear my hair like I do everyday in my profession... But there is one place where I lack confidence and that is my thighs. I havent worn under a size 12 in about 5 years and I have a gap in my teeth which I wear with pride but when it comes to my thighs I melt at the idea of them hanging out.
So, I was at this fabulous thrift store in Danville, VA a few weeks ago when I was visiting my in-laws and I spotted these shots... I would normally chuckle and walk right past them but on this warm and sunny day all I could think about was how fabulous it would be to have on a pair of shorts... so I picked them up. With the dollar price tag calling my thrifty minded name I purchased them secretly thinking that I will NEVER put them on.
Well, here I am... Standing before you facing my fear... letting my Rolls of Thunder ring out for all to see.
This summer I have made a promise that I am going to try to embrace my think thighs or change them... yeah, there's a novel idea. If you don't like something on your body you can easily change it with a few weeks of work and some dedication.
Look out world... Here me and my thighs








Pin Striped Shorts: Thrifted
Multi- Color Blazer: Thrifted

Passing Time




Dress/Skirt: Thrifted
Black Cardigan: Thrifted
Black Paton Leather Skinny Belt: Thrifted
Sandals: F21

So, I have totally missed you guys. Life is bananas and blogging is my mental escape. Take for instance I am currently in class. Yes, I am in SCHOOL. I decided to go back to school and get my MBA... It sounded like a good idea in 2010 but these 4 hour classes will KILL YOU. I am trying not to pull my hair out. (Pray for me)
Earlier today Keesha came over and so of course we snapped a few shots and caught up on some gossip... you know girl time. I also got to see little miss Corrin (note, she had a walk in roll in one of my shots)... every time I see here she has a new phase in her ever growing vocabulary. The cutest little thing ever!!!
How do you past time? I need some suggestions!!!!

Thrifted Color Blocking


Outfit:Thrifted :)



So im sure everybody that checks out our blog knows who Eboni is. Well yesterday she led me to a blog I had never seen called Pretty Shiny Sparkly . Kristina is challenging fashion/lifestyle bloggers to try their hand at the color blocking trend that is all the rage right now.
Im loving the idea of wearing such bold colors together. It reminds me of being 11 and wanting to be Punky Brewster or Blossom :) Needless to say Im all for it. Well, I didnt have time to post yesterday so Im a day late but I say, What the heck. At least I get credit for turning in the assignment right?

Mini-Bargain/Fashionista



Dress and Earrings: Thrifted
Denim Shirt: Baby Gap
Bracelet: Present
Shoes: Mommy's

Hi kdr*S readers. My name is Corrin. Im 2 years old and I always want to help my mommy create posts. I enjoy getting dressed up, wearing jewelry and getting my nails polished among other things. I help my mommy decide which shoes or accessories to wear when we get dressed in the morning. Sometimes she forgets to accessorize me. Luckily, I know where she keeps all of my favorite sparkly things so I just take care of it myself .
Im also an avid thrifter. Ive been thrifting and clearance bargain hunting since I was born so Im a pro. I even get free things by making friends with the people who work there :)
Thanks for reading my post. I hope mommy will let me do this more often. In the meantime, I will be in the yard digging for worms in my clean clothes.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Polka Dots Are My Friends (Big Boobs Are the Devil)

Dress &Belt:Thrifted
Shoes: Target(perhaps '08?)


I suffer from big boob/ no butt syndrome. The symptoms:
Having to purchase a Large instead of a small or medium dress
Must keep safety pins on hand in case of boobie blowouts
I look like I may tip forward due to lack of an anchor(hindparts)
Lowcut tops tend to look slutty
spaghetti straps are dangerous
Horizontal stripes may render some passers by dizzy
Since the age of 11 I've dealt with these hinderances (thing 1 and thing 2). There must be a big boob survival guide out there somewhere to help us out with these Dolly Partons! Anyone have any tips for the top weary gal?
Big Boob Girls Unite!

Hairy Situation

Dress,Sweater and Clutch: Thrifted

Bracelets:Walmart

Belt: Gap

Shoes: Rue 21



I realized something about myself today: Im actually growing up! I know that may sound funny as you read it, heck I am laughing at myself as I type this. Im 30 years old so I guess its about time :) What brought me to this realization you might ask? It seems the little things dont seem to bother me as much as they used to. Gone are the days where I wouldnt wear a dress/skirt if my legs werent freshly shaven.


This morning I woke up in the mood to wear the above dress. I reached down and felt my legs. They werent Harry and the Hendersons status but they could definetely use a little attention. What did I do? Well grown up Keesha decided to forego the shaving in order to use the little bit of extra time to eat a nice warm slice of banana bread with my son for breakfast. It was nice and I enjoyed the mommy and son time that I was afforded. Now I will take care of these legs tonight but this morning was a win/win for me. I felt nice in my dress and my son got a chance to relax with mommy without the normal crazy and fast paced morning routine. I guess sometimes I shave my legs sometimes I dont :)


What's something that you used to obsess over that youve grown out of?

Nothing Much ...


Maxi Dress: Dillards
Sweater: Forever 21
Moccasins: Thrifted
Bag: My Daddy :)
Shades: Thrifted/Hubbie

Today was pretty low key. I spent most of my day trying to stay awake...Darn you time change! I just cant seem to get my mind to understand that I have to go to bed at a decent hour in order to not be a zombie the next day.
Anywho, I didnt really put much thought into this outfit. It was a 60 degree day and I wanted to be comfortable without looking like I just rolled out of bed. So this is what I ended up wearing. What do you think about the combo?
My main mission today was to bake and deliver this loaf of banana bread to my dear Amanda :) I Love Ya! Hope you enjoy it :)
