New Season, New Trends

So it's still super cold out, but i'm so excited to learn about the new seasons trends and shopping.

London Fashion Week is quickly approaching, and i've had a sneak peak at what to expect for this season.

A designer that has won me over is the Internationally acclaimed British designer Julien Macdonald whose designs are sexy, elegant and liberating.

Julien SS11 collection uses frilled dresses with a soft colour palette, constructed from layers of feather light chiffon giving the collection the perfect sweet and sexy balance.







.

Oh and before i go i would just like to say how much i'm loving his version of the Aviator Jacket. Look at the lining, looks so soft and fluffy!! :-)

New Crush: Emma Watson

I think she would make an ... exceptional Alice..... In Wonderland that is!

a fantastic sign by Between You & Me


one of my most favorite friends in the blog world is
i'm sure many of you know her already,

she & her cutiepie hubby just so happened to move to Athens this fall
& just so happen to work at Athens Church where my college girl attends
& they just so happen to make fantastic signs.
(that's not an exhaustive bio, just a few important details for today's post. wink)

their family rules sign is all over pinterest

so, andy & tara can create a family rules sign for you
or
you can choose whatever your little heart desires.

when they contacted me i knew the first thing i wanted for our sign
was a literary quote.
being huge Narnia & all things C.S. Lewis fans
i really wanted something from one of the narnia books.

Lucy & Aslan are my two favorite characters in all the world.
so...i chose the following.
the spiritual meaning behind this passage
is very special to me too.

so here's the skinny~
tara & andy will gladly create a sign for you.
it measures 4 feet by 2 feet.
it's a very substantial piece
& very well made.

i love mine. love it!!

my photos are yuck and make my walls look sorta muddy
& all my white look sorta weird
but it's been dark & gloomy for days & i really wanted to get this post 
up. so don't let my photography scare you away
&
try not to covet my circa early 90's light fixture.
it's a doozy isn't it?
its on the list ya'll, it's on the list.
anyway..









it's always a big thrill to hear the UPS guy
stop in front of our home.
i told dan i was expecting a pair of ballet flats from nordstroms
& a sign from tara this week.

clearly the sign is what arrived.
i'm including this image so that you too
can have your hubby greet the UPS man
when he delivers your fantastic sign.

my hubby is 6"4'.
the sign is huge & wonderful!!

we need to go out & "do", mom



i'm going to apologize in advance
as this post is a long one with loads of pictures
& hopefully two videos to share.

however what occured last week here in atlanta
could probably fill every blog post i might write for quite some time.
i wish each of you knew someone that attended
or was able to watch the live stream
or
will purchase the digital access pass to the entire event.....



savannah headed back to school last night.
as she pulled out of the driveway i began to have that weird struggle in my mind.
knowing she's where she needs to be & is doing SO well, 
yet feeling like it will never be easy to letting one of them go. 
i realized as i walked into her now empty room again,
she won't be home for a long visit again until school is out. in may.
sigh

it was nothing less than fantastic having her home & catching up. watching movies. coffee dates with friends. eating out. shopping. visiting. going to church together.

i guess it's a weird battle 
our minds play
while we're in this phase of mothering.
don't you think?

this age, this 18yearold age, college freshman age
it might just be my favorite yet.
i loved the cute preschool age, 
& the age where they loose their front teeth
& still hold your hand and call you mommy,
but i really really love this age she's in right now.
(see, there's hope for you with middle schoolers.wink)

cheering them on as they leave the nest 
full of promise & so much potential
and yet
feeling like there's a vital part of the family unit
my family unit
that we're functioning without when she's elsewhere.
i know they must go.

we talked last week on the last morning of passion.
she told me multiple times, "i'm just sad mom. i'm sad that it's over".

we talked about mountain top experiences
& how after any big event 
there is a time of necessary down time as you readjust.
but then she said, "but mom, it needs to be over. we need to go out & do
all that we've been equipped to do. we need to go ".

i sat there in the carpool lane
ready to drop little bit off
with that lump in my throat that i've come accustomed to
anytime she wow's me with some profoundly simple revelation such as that.

passion 2012
equipped just shy of 45,000 college kids to do just that.
go out, go back to their campuses, go forward towards their future
with a passion for the lord
to bring justice to the injustice in this world.
to begin to free the over 27 million people 
enslaved. right now. 27 million people.

i'm sorry friends, but that alone blows my mind.
27 million. more than any other time in our history.
can you even wrap you mind around that?

these kids have an amazingly generous spirit
full of dreams
with the knowledge they need to make change.

i posted on facebook that they raised a specific amount of money
only to quickly realize my error.
i quickly went back & fixed it...
they GAVE over 3 MILLION dollars
not raised, they GAVE
3 million dollars towards various ministries/organizations to free slavery.
gave out of their empty college co-ed idon'thaveacareeryet pockets.
3 million.

the structure pictured below was a statue, huge temporary statue, built to represent the hand of worship & the hand reaching out to help others. it was covered with clothing & articles representing children involved in child labor. women involved in sex traffic and others bound into a life of slavery.
all 45,000 of the kids went out on the last night, silently, and light candles as a symbol of solidarity in their fight against injustice.

my words & descriptions are terribly inadequate
& while it's more powerful to have been there
it was super powerful to watch it
you can purchase a digital pass to have each
session downloaded to your computer
along with all the music right here
& i promise you , it will be one of the best spent $25 in your life.




i find myself just stumbling through my thoughts & words regarding this amazing event.
through my excitement as i watch this generation as they rise up
through my love for these kids that spent four days together.
they'll change our world, they'll change our world








the friend of mine that sponsored savannah & 4 of her friends
gave over $3,000 in support  by the time the week was over.
( that i know of. knowing her, probably much more).
the last day she asked if she could treat them to a wonderful meal.
she wanted somewhere wonderful for them
yet savannah wanted it to be somewhere non-intimidating & fun too.
after getting loads of tips ( thank you facebook friends)
she chose Fogo de Chao.
wow.
it deserves a post of its own.

we had an incredible meal!
dan & i were blessed to hear each of their passion highlights
& how the Lord really changed their lives.
an evening dan & i will treasure forever.








 the sweetest part of the evening was when we were able to connect with my friend
unfortunately couldn't get facetime to work
but all the kids gathered around my phone as she spoke to them
& encouraged them.
they thanked her over & over again...so sweet.



so yes, my heart is a little tender today as i'm missing having my girl
right here with me.
as sad as i am about that...i'm immeasurably more joyful as i get a front row
seat to her life & all the lord has in store for her
for her friends ( about 20 of them)
that all shared a powerful powerful week together.







Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, 
words may be given me so that I will 
fearlessly
make known the mystery of the gospel
