Christmas is coming (Burgundy & Black)

Christmas is definitely in the air. I feel it in the weather, I feel it all around and it's a great feeling. All the vendors are dropping prices, advertising new products, decorating their shops with bright lights and goodies for all. I always like the feeling that I get leading up to Christmas but as soon as Christmas comes, my mood changes. I just never understand why.

Anyway, this is my LOTD. Yes it's ANOTHER Christmas look using too simple colors (burgundy and black). I will actually recreate this look but using a stronger application.

I really enjoyed this look. I thought it was a beautiful combination.

A TRUE Thanksgiving- Spiced Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving is not really "celebrated" as a big holiday in the Cayman Islands as we are a very "religious/ spiritual" community and observe "National Days of Prayer" etc and we view thanksgiving as a recurring "event" and not a single day event.

Eitherway, I think the concept of Thanksgiving is great because in this life, we have ALOT to be thankful for. Whenever we feel as if we're experiencing the worst of a situation, unfortunately there are many others near and far who are experiencing something alot worse.

Thanksgiving is a time to focus on all the beautiful blessings that we receive on a daily basis. We should give thanks for the simplest of things to the most complex and extravagant things. Our God is an amazing God and he never made any mistakes when placing us where we are in our lives at this very point in time.

We should reflect on the past minute, the past hour, the past day, the past month, the past year and give heart felt thanks to the Almighty for continuously guiding us and taking us through every day of our lives because he knows our paths, he knows our journey. He can see farther than our incomparable minds can fathom. God is truly amazing.

With that being said, today's look is a "thanksgiving" look reflects colors of the season (Autumn).......golds, oranges, maroons, rusts etc
