“do you not know that your bodies are temples of the holy spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from god? you are not your own; you were bought at a price. therefore honor god with your bodies.” 1 corinthians 6:19-20 since i’m all about being frugal and modest with my wardrobe, today [...]
spring is in the air! march 10th is the end of daylight savings and our days get longer. march 20th marks the first day of spring and the days will get warmer. i know here in california, we will still see another round of winter weather but the sunshine we’re seeing now, makes [...]
“dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 john 4:11 that’s the theme for february here on FLT and one way to love those around us is to get dressed everyday. i mean seriously, this isn’t the garden of eden and we’re all very thankful to see each [...]

today’s post should be titled: business on the outside, party underneath. but unlike the mullet, this style won’t embarrass you in 20 years. at least we can hope, right? so who says you have to be ALL business ALL the time? Or even ALL business in one business outfit? well i’m here to BUST through another fashion [...]
around here, we do a casual christmas. there’s no need to dress up for christmas ever at the in-laws. but of course, i still want to be cute and comfortable. and i never like to be the girl who wears the traditional red sweater so i’m toying with these alternatives for my christmas festivities.

hello ladies! today we’re talking about 3 things: boots + black + tan i picked up a pair of tan boots last weekend and i’ve been dying to wear them with something other than the typical browns and muted colors i’d normally pair them with. because apparently, black and tan are now a couple. [...]

welcome to november; where i am hopeful for a month of recognizing my blessings and staying comforted in the fact that i am not perfect. and being perfect certainly isn’t what God expects from us. genesis 5:1: When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. so tell me, what do you think God [...]
