**Sunday's Best**

Goodmorning to all! Today is a dreary, gray morning.....I overslept this morning, but I still made it to class on time! The World - 0, Ellisa-2!

But anyways



When I was growing up I Polly was one of my FAVORITE movies ever!
Polly is a touching family movie that starred Phylicia Rashad and Keisha Knight Pulliam which took place in the 1950's. Polly (Keisha Knight Pulliam) goes to visit her wealthy Aunt Polly (Phylicia Rashad) for the summer. While there, Polly's happy and joyful spirit spreads to the entire community.

When I was a young girl I was ALWAYS amazed on how the women looked so entirely put together. It was so much pride in how they presented themselves. I love the silohuette of the dresses, pinned hair , dainty gloves and oh so fierce hats.

I remember my grandmother gave me a deep purple, full A-line dress with ruffles for days. I would spin in circle until I feel like I was going to pass out! I miss it....SOOooo why not re-invent the style in more mature way. This spring/Summer I'm Channeling the 1950's- full dresses and skirts

Here is one of my fav musical clips of the movies which show a boatload of fabulousness in attire...



Here is another musical clip, with the beautiful Phylicia Rashad ..



Love the off theshoulder and A-Line Dress

Feminine, Feminine, and still fly

And the best thing about A-Line dresses they enhance all types of figures

God Bless!

Today in one of my classes I was told that one of my school's alumni is a contestant of the new show on Bravo The Fashion Show. The new show is hosted by Isaac Mizrahi, Kelly Rowland andFern Mallis. Fifteen professional designers will compete in this fashion creative competition series for a chance to have their designs sold in the retail market and win a $125,000 prize.

Kristen graduated from The Illinois Institute of Art- Chicago 3 years ago. I viewed her collection, Organik Revolution at Chicago's Fashion Focus and was one of my favorite collections. All of her clothes are eco-friendly. I love her color tones, What can I say I'm a sucker for earthtones:0 Here are a couple pictures of her collection that I snapped at the Fashion Show. . . . .

*Heads Up*

Goodmorning! I was going to post something completely different this morning that has been rattling through my mind. Life happens, so I decided to change it up.

Yesterday was my official start of my quarter (im officially a senior in college, Praise God). I went to my full load of classes, ran errands, and ended up dozing off after an amusing episode of Harlem Heights.

I woke back up around 1 a.m. I don't have any classes today so I decided that I could do some late night organizing. Re-evaluating old papers, trying to make sense of what i call my closet and stacking all my mags and books in order time slipped passed.

I realized I didn't sneak back into bed until around 4 or 5 a.m. As I was getting prepared to lay down when I began to say a prayer. As I asked the Lord to protect my family a sharp pain struck my left side. I shook it off and repeated the prayer of protection over my family. The pain struck again.

This time I began to become alert because God sends signs all the time in the most peculiar way.

I finished up my prayer and snuck off to sleep with late night commercials bombarding the TV.

This morning I received a phone call an hour after I dozed off. I glanced at the number but I didn't recognize it so I ignored it.

Two minutes later I received a text from my older sister that she was in the emergency room because she had been in an car accident on her way to work.

I immediate jumped out of bed as she called to give me the details of how she was trapped in the car while smoke was taking a ride through her lungs.

Thank God that she is just fine but sore.

Just want to share the importance of prayer.

Thank God

Miracles & Blessings

God Bless;)
