How I Gained Confidence Through Christ

I get asked a lot “Have you always been this confident?” The truth is: NO WAY! It took me a long time to be the confident woman I am. I’ve struggled with identity issues and feeling insecure for many reasons (that I describe in this video). It wasn’t until my walk with God was solid that I found peace in who I was because I finally understood whose I was. It’s been a journey of self-discovery that I’m sure every human has to go through in order to walk confidently through life. I still find myself dabbling in comparison and doubt, but it’s not the all-consuming fire that it used to be.

Before starting my YouTube channel, me and my mother were doing research on other YouTubers with similar ideas, faith, and personality. My mom sent me a link to Ashley Empowers and I was hooked. I watched a few episodes of her “Dating With Purpose” series, and I also followed the journey of her relationship, engagement, marriage, and now newborn baby girl. God will never give you a complete and detailed blueprint of what you are called to do (it may overwhelm you!), but He will show you step by step in a way that you need to be encouraged and sometimes that means linking you up (through the internets) with other believers that are doing similar work for His Kingdom. I’m so inspired by Ashley and her husband Carrington. Please take time to visit all of her links and see what she’s up to. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Ashley Empowers”

Fashion Friday: His and Hers Back to School

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

We think the question at the forefront of every student’s mind is: what do I wear for the first week of school? After the supplies are bought, the bags are packed, and the summer is coming to an end, some of you may be wondering how to mix and match your new jeans, tops, skirts, and dresses. We thought we’d scour Pinterest (one of our favorite things to do) so you don’t have to. Continue reading “Fashion Friday: His and Hers Back to School”

Recently, I modeled in a runway show. Weeks before the event date, I was scheduled to have a fitting with Casonna herself. When I arrived, she was passionately working away on her sewing machine in her home studio. This gave me time to take in the work in progress on her dress form, the many swatches of fabric that would soon become elegant wardrobe pieces, and the closet bursting at the seams with dresses, jumpsuits, skirts, gowns, etc. I only had to try on one gown, and it fit like it was made for me. The best part about wearing her gown on the runway was seeing the joy in Casonna’s eyes as her gaze went from model to model taking in the amazing work of her hands. She is one of the most humble and talented designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and I just had to give her a shoutout here on L’amour In Christ. Check out her website and hopefully you’ll find that dress for your upcoming wedding day, formal event, or vacation. (And you might see a familiar face!)

Earlier this year, I walked the runway for a fashion ministry event titled “Fashioned4Life“. The feedback was so great that the producers of the show were asked to hit the stage again. Here we are now for Fashioned4Life Ministry Showcase 2! There are seldom times when I’m able to combine my love for fashion with my love for Jesus. Kelsie and Bren have truly inspired me to get outside of my comfort zone and to be bold with whatever vision God has given me. Are you in the LA area and interested in coming? Well, you can! The event is this Sunday July 31st at 6pm. Tickets at the door are $25. We’re hoping to see you there! Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Jesus Only Gear”

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

We’ve written before about our favorite beauty and fashion trends, but maybe you’re saying “How do I pull that off? I have no idea where to start.” Of course it’s easy to look through photo inspiration and recreate it when you have a makeup kit at home. For those of you who are beginners, we thought we’d share a few everyday makeup tutorials for different skin tones. We must admit, these are definitely on the more glamorous side, but it’s good practice and won’t take  you all day long to accomplish. Continue reading “Fashion Friday: Everyday Makeup How-To”

You may not have thousands of dollars to spend on a beaded dress, but sometimes you can get inspiration for an every day look while looking through the fashion of Hollywood’s elite. Maybe your skin tone is similar to Emma Stone’s, and you never thought to wear that shade of green. Maybe your body type is the same as Lupita Nyong’o, and you never knew you could look good in that neckline. Be inspired, and dream a little as you scroll through this gorgeous gallery.

I met Cece during a model fitting a few months ago. It didn’t take long for us to start talking about our love for God and how He’s impacted our careers. She mentioned that she took a leap of faith and left the corporate world to pursue her love for fashion and styling. We traded contact information and I looked up her brand La Isla Vida as soon as I got home. My jaw dropped. She mentioned that this was her first fashion line, and her designs looked as though she’s been confidently doing this for years. That’s the power of trusting in your Creator to work through you. So many opportunities have come up for her since she’s stepped into the spotlight, but the most admirable quality of her success is the fact that she chooses to use her skills to help others. Many of the red carpets she walks have a cause behind them, and she doesn’t pass up an opportunity to help others in their pursuit to make the world a brighter place. You’ll be doing yourself a favor by keeping up with this inspiring woman and seeing what her next plans are. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Cece La Isla Vida”

Fashion Friday: His and Hers All White

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

What could be better than strutting around as a blank canvas? We know, it’s intimidating to wear all white because…stains. However, there are so many fabrics you can wear in white that are easy to clean. If you’ve never tried wearing an all white ensemble, we encourage you to start. Going from simply casual to red carpet stunning is as easy as sliding that debit card at your favorite boutique…or rummaging through your closet for that white skirt that still has tags on it. We love the metallic accents in some of the examples below, as well as the pop  of color in the shoe or bag to match the outfit. Which one is your favorite?
