Lead an Exciting Life!

Update: Hey Guys!! So I've been out for a while with all of the craziness of the holiday season, school finals, and soo much more going on haha but I'm back and Fashionista will be better than ever! Y'all just gotta wait and see!! I've got new plans for Fashionista in the Sea for 2012!! all new video series, tutorials, outfits, and even some interviews!! So stay on the look out :D


Outfit of the Day:
So like with every outfit I wear I LOVE this one!! The white blazer contrasts perfectly with the deep red/wine color in the sweater dress!! The pearls add such a classy touch and the feather headband adds a little edge to the whole outfit because you never want to look too serious :p So pretty much this outfit is perfect to where out on a date with that special someone, or a walk around the mall with you're friends!!


Verse of the Day: 
"...There is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot."- Ecclesiastes 3:22
       Optimistically speaking, we all want to find that place of satisfaction in our lives, where with the gifts and talents we've been given, we can make a living of it. One of the things God wants more than anything for us is for us to enjoy what we do in life...and so you're probably saying "But you don't understand Nicolle, my life is so boring, nothing interesting happens, it's just the same old business, same old routine everyday and nothing ever changes!" and I completely understand, however what this verse is saying is that if you just find a way to simply enjoy what you do in life be it work, school, etc., you'll see how life will simply smile right back at you... But maybe you need some motivation... so motivate yourself! Set goals for where you want to be at work, school, socially, everywhere! You're destined for success but you just gotta get into the right mindset, Remember that Christ came to give us life and life in abundance, so start living the life designed for you and you'll see how your days will brighten up. :D

So Laugh!!!

Video of the Day

Verse of the Day: "This is the day the LORD has made. Let us be glad and rejoice in it!" Psalm 118:24


So this weekend has been just about beautiful! The weather has been perfect (and by that I mean not too cold, not too hot, and no humidity what-so-ever :D) Just about everything has been great and sooo I have many reasons to rejoice in the day that the LORD has made I'm alive and Healthy, I have great friends and a family that loves me, and I have Jesus as my LORD and Savior which is the best thing anyone could possibly have :D Soooo like the video above you should laugh and be happy :) enjoy your life! treasure the great moments and forget about the bad ones.... hang around those who are great influences and be a great influence to those who may not be one themselves... Have fun, but  don't forget also to have great responsibility for just like there is a time to laugh, there is also a time to be serious :)


                                                                Outfit of the Day

So where do I begin hmmmmm.... well like I said in the video  this outfit is soooo 60's and the 60's are really in right now.... It's also getting quite cold outside which is perfect to pull out those knee-high socks you have or purchase some for yourself :) the cardigan (or blazer however you like to call it) is a must-have because it just looks so vintage yet it keeps you warm (I say vintage because lately I have been enjoying the vintage look very much :) It just makes me appreciate the different era's of style that's been around for ages (I guess that's the best way I can really put it) haha well hope you're enjoying the Fashionista in The Sea and make sure to check back regularly for the latest beauty and style tips :) God Bless :)

Discipline...

Outfit of the Day: I am absolutely in LOVE with pearls!!! They make any outfit so elegant and dressy, no matter how casual you make be dressed... This outfit really does seem very summery but trust me, according to the latest fashionistas out there, Orangish tones are the way to go for fall... Pretty much bright colors are still in :) so stock up on your brights, Hey you might even recycle some outfits from this past summer!! :D

Verse of the Day: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Phillipians 4:13

     Discipline doesn't always mean punishment for wrong doing, sometimes discipline is used to help us learn... Like for example, a ballerina must have discipline and is taught with discipline to master the art, she may complain about her ballet instructor, the hard techniques they make the ballerina , however come performance time, the ballerina's presentation is perfect, she receives a standing ovation! Why? Because of discipline. If the instructor hadn't been so harsh, her motivation wouldn't persist... God also Disciplines us like so, to help us grow, give us life experience, strengthen us, etc... Christ has great and beautiful plans for each of our lives, He never gives us anything He knows we won't have strength to pass through, that is why we go through different seasons of trials in our lives, so we may be strengthened by them for the future, and to also comfort others that may have gone through the same thing...I for one trust in the promises Christ gives me, that He will never leave me nor forsake me, He will give me strength to do what I feel is impossible, and that He will give us more than we can ever ask for or imagine when we ask Him … So trust what Christ says, don't complain in the midst of trials, but give thanks and pray in every storm for, Christ always gives us a way out... and remember discipline isn't always punishment, Discipline gives you Character :)    

Hope!

Outfit of the Day:

I really love button up shirts and olive green is a big hit for the fall so I think those two made a great combination :) don't you think? *Remember you can always dress up any outfit by putting on extravagant jewelry or dress down an outfit by wearing little to no jewelery :) just thought I'd let you girls know about that little hint :)

Verse of the Day: “When a believing person prays, great things happen.” James 5:16

It's amazing how much hope is found in Christ Jesus. I mean honestly why do we hope in God? Because God is always faithful. Thinking back to the toughest moments in life we see God's hand in every situation, orchestrating events to “work all things for the good of those who love Him.”(Romans 8:28). That's wonderful to know that ALL things WORK out for the GOOD!!! doesn't that give you hope? It's an overwhelming sense of joy knowing that although I might not understand why certain things are happening right now I know that everything is going to work out...Just Remember:When a believing person prays, great things happen (James 5:16) :)

Just a Prayer Away....

Outfit of the Day:

I am in LOVE with this dress!!! I mean whoever said stripes can't work an outfit has never worn this dress haha especially with the white/cream blazer! Again Blazers are the “it” item for this Fall season and girlies they are just about EVERYWHERE!! and has anyone noticed my new hair do? Well I've been looking on all the latest fashion magazines and the “it” hairstyle's contain bangs...so I decided being a fashionista and all I would get me some bangs and BAM I definitely did haha so go out and get yourselves some bangs and blazers!! and have fun!!

Verse of the Day: “ ...you should say 'If the LORD wants, we will live and do this or that.'” James 4:15

Sometimes listening and obeying can be two very difficult things to put together in life... we may listen to advice or a comment however following what we heard is at times quite difficult... do you want to know why? I'll tell you why! :p it's because we WANT things to work out the way WE want them to, on our own time, so we tend to force things to happen and when they don't, we put more and more pressure on ourselves to make it work... Honestly wouldn't it be so much easier to let someone else do all the work for us. Make things work out for the better...at the right time...at the right place? Well let me refer you to someone who can... His name is Jesus Christ and you can get a hold of Him by just a prayer.... Yep He's just a prayer away... the best part is He'll never put you on hold, He'll never ignore your call... and He knows exactly what it is you want and need before you even ask Him... Amazing!! Right!! Best part is that Jesus isn't to good to be true! He's real! He loves! He's always there! Now that's something to ponder on... but yeah I get it you're reading this and saying to your self “this is too simple, and I want my situation resolved now! Not later!” listening is easy but praying and well... waiting is not so much... But once you put it in your head that you don't know what's coming up in the future, and you don't have the power or the control to make things happen the way you want... you'll soon realize Jesus is the one you need... So try it! Call Him and tell Him you're desires, but just remember this one very wise quote I once heard “You wish for things, but only God knows what's right for you and what it is that you indeed need.”

Trust... It's just that Simple!

Verse of the day: “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently on Him.” Psalm 37:7

Honestly Life is great and I have come to the realization that I have a pretty good one indeed, however of course if you're reading this you're probably human and being human we tend to complain... Complain about things we've wanted to work out but never seem to... situations we want resolved that cause us to become so incredibly impatient that honestly we loose focus that the one who is truly in control of our lives is Christ... and we should be very thankful for that indeed. When we are at our worst, trying to control every second of every moment of life is when Christ comes in and says “ Be still and wait patiently” Be still meaning do nothing? No. Be still meaning pray and trust... God promises us that He “will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; He will counsel you and watch over you.” (Psalm 32:8) and He also promises to “give strength to His people; the LORD blesses His people with peace.” (Psalm 29:11)... To me that's just amazing... Christ cares so much that He blesses us with peace, love, faithfulness, and promises to give us strength in the midst of life's battles, Christ works out everything for our own good (Romans 8:28) That's an amazing thought right there :)

Outfit of the Day:

I honestly am in love with this dress right now!! The color is just about the perfect tone for Fall. The fabric is just so vintage it makes me feel as if I was in the past going to a library or something to catch up on some much needed readings or do some home work :p don't you feel the same just looking at it?

And of course we can't ignore the blazer for blazer's are just about the must have item for Fall!   

A New Perspective

Verse of the Day: “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

 

Today was an absolutely beautiful day outside which was great for taking some pictures :)... Well anyways about today's verse 

Sometimes in life when things don't seem to make sense in your life, when you feel like everyday you're practically going through the same routine, God is truly there with you, because in the weakest parts of life you are made strong by God's Holy Spirit that works in you. With the way we see action, adventure, and even romance on tv and in movies it's hard to understand why our lives can't be like that as well. We forget about reality and want those things we see on the media, (whether it be popularity, romance, or even a good solid group of friends to hang out with), we tend to fall into this sad and depressed state in which we question where exactly God is in our lives and why certain things are happening to us. In this Psalm we see a clear picture of how we need to change our perspective sometimes and just be thankful we are alive and healthy. God is good all the time, even through tough moments He's there with you. Your life and happiness are extremely important to Christ and that's why one of my favorite verses is Phillipians 4:13 because I definitely know and have the assurance that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It's kind of like a scene from the Karate Kid (Jackie Chan version) where the boy's instructor makes the boy do the same ridiculous and boring routine over and over again, everyday for weeks. The boy didn't understand and it really didn't make sense to him why he had to do that routine repeatedly, however when the right time came, the instructor showed him just how that boring and simple routine gave him strength and practice when the fight came. So don't be upset when it seems like life is repeating itself, God has a plan and He knows what's ahead, so you need to trust that what your going through right now is just a preparation for your wonderful future.

-Now moving on to today's style I decided to mix in a delicate light pink lace dress with a casual jeans vest... why? Because sometimes I have the most classic and sophisticated dress that I would really like to where ANYWHERE, however, with classy and sophisticated dresses comes the stereotype that you CAN'T wear it whenever you want, and here I am to prove that wrong. With the simple, and extremely casual jeans vest, some sandals, and a nice leather side purse the dress goes from extravagantly dressy to a dress you can wear for a walk in the mall or even getting some ice cream with some friends.
