Hey Loves! Remember me?! Your gal pal Rachel from Truly, Rachel who disappeared for a moment? Yea..well it's officially been about 2 weeks since I've been away working on a media production with my husband. I officially miss home and miss bonding with you via blogging. It's great that my husband is here with me but its about that time to get cozy in my own bed.

But our family/friends who are hosting us are so gracious to make us feel at home while we are here. Any tips on how to chase away the homesick symptoms?

I hope you lovelies have been doing great and that you are prospering in every area of your lives. Wishing you all great thoughts and prayers.

Oh the pic with me with school clothes on is me playing a school girl. Haha! I legit look 16yrs old. I kinda freaked my hubs out.

Peplum - this color has a little bit of an edge to it, so I love that the peplum adds an element of femininity to balance it out.

Bordeaux Leather Pants - 2 words - YES PLEASE. 

Wedge booties / Platform Shoes - I'm a sucka for a wedge and a platform! I mean, who doesn't want the style, comfort & versatility that these thick soled shoes offer?

Purse - O.M.G. THAT purse! The color is pure decadence. Love! 

Hats off to this hot hat! Nuf said.

Viva Glam MAC Lipstick - I just bought this lipstick and think it is absolutely phenomenal! It's not too dark, so you don't look goth and it works for a variety of skin tones. That lipstick paired with Bordeaux nails and you're ready to rock it out!

Hey Lovelies, I'm in the ATL area on week 3 of the production shoot and as much as I miss life up north I'm surrounded by the most loving people in this entire world(minus my mommy).

Things have been going so well after we got over the hump of getting things together. I'm in absolute awe of God's tender love for us.

Chick-Fil-A!! This was so good!

Today I decided to randomly celebrate one of my closest and loving friends Monica. Her birthday is this week and because of work, I'll be out of town and won't be able to go on one of our adventures for her birthday. So we spent the day together having Meixcan food, shopping and wandering the NYC concrete jungle.

I have a huge head so my headband didn't fit me. After much struggle to look cute I left without it. I was trying way too hard to look cute. Just one of those trends you just have to pass on. Keep it organic!

I got this in the mail today. I'm so excited to read it on the plane tomorrow. Fall fashion is HUGE in NYC!

I finally found one of these delicate cross necklaces. I've been looking for the perfect one for awhile!

Do I have any fellow wanderers?! Or do you have any ideas on how to burn calories while doing a daily activity?

P.S. Zara is having a crazy end of summer sale. Those fancy blazers that were once nearly $100 are marked down for under $40. I know I would be disgruntled too if I saw that mega deal after paying full price.

Have a lovely weekend and I will check in with you lovely creative peeps on Monday.

Today I'm just extremely grateful for where I am in life. Even though there's still a lot of work to be done and I'm still due for more development, I'm grateful that I'm not where I used to be. God loves us!

I'm back at the office for 2days and it feels so good to be back to a slower pace.

Have a great day lovelies!

Happy Tuesday Loves! Today was another successful but mega long 12-hour day. This whole media production has challenged be to grow in the area of having people skills. Learning how to deal with people with different personalities, gifts, talents and character traits will save you time, energy and peace of mind.
3 main take-away points:
-Organization is key
-Value people by letting them thrive in their area of creativity
-Treat people nicely. "Treat people like dogs and they'll act like dogs."

So after working smart, we grabbed extension cords and went round for round in double dutch. The guys jumped in on the fun as well.

Hey Loves! Hope you all have been enjoying your weekend. I've been all wrapped up in production work that I have been out of the loop with my blog friends. Today Monica and I decided to take on NY as per usual.

We are huge fans of these fabulous J. Crew necklaces. I'm planning on grabbing a hunter green and red one for the fall.

I'll be in touch with you lovelies tomorrow. Xo

Hey Lovelies!

Hope this week has been treating you well. I've been having a jammed pack-productive week. I've been doing a lot of field production away from the office and on a couple of shoots plus other projects. This evening I decided to take it slow- hopped in my PJs and watched HGTV marathons.

I'm so honored to be featured in an online fashion magazine- highlighting the humanitarian work of women of style. They chose your's truly and needless to say I'm beyond grateful and excited to be chosen.
