No Monday blues for Patriot fans today unless you count our patriotic navy, LOL. Yes, ya girl is a New England Patriots fan. Philly is my home but the Eagles have never captured my heart.

The Atlanta Falcons owned last night’s game the entire first half, and well into the 4th quarter with a 28 to 9 lead over New England. In a MAJOR upset the Pats beat the Falcons scoring 31 unanswered points late in the game to win the Super Bowl 51 in overtime. Truly an entertaining game!

To keep the party going I’ve decided to sport some celebratory blue in my makeup and outfit. This deep midnight blue by Maybelline is a part of their newest color sensation line. Rich, velvety, and totally out of my normal color palette I’m so glad I took a chance on this lip color.

The blue contrasts perfectly with my mustard sweater and indigo skinnies. I’ve decided to take a multicolored neck scarf and wear it as a head wrap. The colors pair perfectly with my Aria handcrafted African jewelry. One of my favorite recent holiday gifts.

Lastly, I threw on my go to rider boots and grabbed my black tote. I’m Audi 5000, ready to tackle another day. Here’s to the start of an amazing week!

Can you believe it’s Friday again? This week has seriously moved by so quickly. It’s been a blur but it’s been a blessing. Some unexpected challenges came up and ya girl didn’t freak out, which means I passed the test of patience God is trying to teach me. That’s a major win for me!

One of my goals for this weekend is to review the week, finally find my journal so I can write down my thoughts and lessons, and then properly prepare for the week ahead. The coolness of fall is here which means I’ve started transitioning my wardrobe. I’ve started wearing a scarf and jacket to work and I’m sleeping in pajama sets because, PGW (aka the gas company here in Philly).

While unpacking my fall essentials I came across my favorite jogger set by my friend and local designer Brittany DeShields. This cropped quilted jogger is extremely comfy, which is perfect for Friday. Since my hair is being a hater lately I’ve decided to wrap it up turban style in this original K. Vaughn scarf, a fellow Philly designer. I’m keeping it local today and adding chic accessories takes the entire ensemble up a notch.

I hope your week has been good to you and I pray the weekend is even better, see you Monday babes! XO
