D2's Pure Bliss!!!

Hello my sweet bloggers! Today I will be sharing about a treat I really love! So, I know I'm supposed to be writing about shoes, clothes, accessories, or hair but U know I have to throw a little something special in...every once in a while ;) Here it goes...one of my co-workers brought some soft sugar cookies one day. I saw them and I thought they looked kind of funny. However, when she asked me if I wanted to try one, I gave in. The moment I took the first bite, it was like I was in heaven and I could hear the angels playing the harps LOL! OH MAN...let me tell you, they are the BOMB! I love those soft sugar cookies. Even though, I have been working out...I have to admit I've been eating those LOL! (oh gosh, I hope my hubby doesn't see this ;o). Well, today I ate a Zaxby's Zalad (the house-grilled) and it was soo good. However, I felt that I was missing something so later on we bought some of those soft sugar cookies. Oh darn, I felt horrible but hey at least I ate a s

"Curly" Straws beautify! :)

Happy Thursday loves, I'm really exhausted today, but I thought one thing would cheer me up...BLOGGING! :) So thanks to the fabulous Divas in my life who research just as much as I do about fashion, here is another trick for your hair. Curls! These are really tight curls, but there are many other tutorials to show you how to loosen them. You will need the following items to accomplish this look: STRAWS, Bobby pins ,  & maybe some hairspray. Yes, you read correctly...Straws! (^.^) No curling iron, no flat iron, no heat...all natural. hehehehe. My older sister actually used this trick on her daughters hair, which is long a beautiful, and it was adorable! Cheap way to make curls...I think it's a WINNER! They really do come out beautiful. Personally, I haven't tried it yet...probably because I'll need a WHOLE BUNCH of straws for my hair, but I think it's worth trying. I'll let you know how mine turn out & feel free to let us know your results as we

Love Culture Jersey Maxi Dress REVIEW!

Hello my lovely peeps! Hope you all are doing great on this wonderful day!  I have a list of things that I want to blog about...I'm just very restricted on time. gahhhhh! lol. Anyway, I wanted to give a review of the following Jersey Maxi Dress from Love Culture. now, $12.95 I actually purchased this dress in black a few months ago. I must say...it was definitely worth it! I love this dress. The only con, that I can think of, is the material used to make this dress. It is very thin so you can see EVERYTHING & I do mean EVERYTHING! lol.  I have to definitely alter what I use with this dress to make it a little more modest for my taste. (If you would like to know my tricks just email us at ddspurebliss@gmail.com & I'll be happy to share.) The good part is that it's black so it can also go with just about ANYTHING! :)  It's super comfortable, very light material, length is how it looks in the picture, just overall a very good product. I don'

An itsy bitsy yellow polka dot...

Hello loves, Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. I completely agree with the second D's opinion on those "trendy" heels. lol. These designs are a mess sometimes. However, I want to focus a little more on trends...more positive I promise! hehehe ;) One day, my sister-in-law sent me a message with a video attached. She thought it would be a great source to share with all of you ladies and gentlemen. I watched it, and I have much respect for this Jessica Ray , who speaks on M-O-D-E-S-T-Y. I know many people may say it's old fashioned, but just take a few minutes to actually listen to the studies performed to prove how modesty does or does not effect the way men think about women. Her words are very powerful. This might actually change some of your minds about modesty. ;) Give it a try, what do you have to lose? Thanks to my sister-in-law for sharing this video with me! (I would start it at 4:20 to get listen to the study.) I really respect h

NO HEELS?!?! WUUTTT??!!!

Hello there my blog peeps! Hope everyone is doing good. This is D2 showing some love <3 <3 Okay, so... the other D got me started. Now I feel I have to express MY disagreement with another fashion trend out there: The heel-less shoe. Can I hear a REALLY?!?! Who thinks of these ideas. While I'm happy someone is able to think of ideas I am grossed out by the ideas they think of  ;/  Don't like it & don't understand it! I definitely love heels and I wouldn't dare talk bad about them except for the crazy shoes out there. You guys know there are lots of them. Crazy platforms the women on the street corner wear (don't want to call them what my hubby calls them), the embellished spike shoe & these (heel-less shoes) :) I have a feeling some model with a big foot tried on a small pair of shoes and she said "look I can walk in them" even though half of her foot was hanging out. So the "fashionistas" decided "hey, lets do a shoe w/o

Embellished Spikes = Yikes!

Hello my lovely readers! Today's post is going to be just a little different. I like to keep things positive on our blog, but I really feel I must express my disagreement of a fashion trend. You may not agree with this opinion at all, but I'm ok with "everyone is entitled to their own opinion." I love all aspects of fashion, especially when shopping for my lovely modest ladies. This is why I feel it necessary to really talk about this fashion trend...EMBELLISHED SPIKES on heels (or anything for that matter)! You all know I love heels! In order for me to really dislike a style of heel is difficult, but I must admit this trend is not cute at all. I feel like someone was trying to make 3D art and decided, why don't we do the same with heels...big mistake in my humble opinion. I absolutely dislike these shoes. A heel is meant to add femininity to a woman not thorns. These shoes make it look like she came out of a rosebush and the thorns just stuck to her heels.

Make Me Chic

Hey...my name is Lakiki...syke! Wusssssuppp my peeps!! This is D2!  I was looking at the makemechic.com website. I haven't been on there in, too long LOL! I really like the shoes they sale. If you like flashy, they definitely have it. So check it out! I have to say, though, the clothes on there are a 'lil too much for me; [not very modest, if you know what I mean ;)] Alright, there may be some stuff on there that you could buy :)  Nonetheless, the shoes are nice and they are true to size, I would say. I have two pairs of boots that I bought from this website and they are comfy and really warm in the winter. I usually wear 7 or 7.5 and the boots are a size 7. They fit perfect with enough room for my lil toes to wiggle around in...ahhh, nice. Makemechic.com also has a section for "Buy 1 get 1 free." To be honest, I haven't bought from that section because they NEVER HAVE MY SIZE (in the shoes that I like)!!! Ok, just thought I would let that out. This happens to

H&M online store!

Hello ladies and gentlemen! (So happy I can say gentlemen, since I've had several guys tell me they read! ;) ) I don't know how many of you are aware of this FANTASTIC news in regards to H&M (I always say it's more like a FOREVER21 just a little more class to their clothing, sorry! Still love Forever21 though!). Well, for the longest time, all of us H&M lovers in the US could only see the clothing and put it on a virtual model, but we couldn't buy it. You had to actually visit an H&M store, which I didn't mind when I was in FL for trips until I realized there were NO H&M stores near my area!! O.o So I had to wait until I would visit a city or FL, where I could find an H&M store. Quick story, I actually went to a conference one year, and instead of going to the final day (you know the one where NO ONE goes to say goodbye) I snuck off to H&M and shopped! hehehehe, I know I know...horrible thing to do, but I just couldn't leave withou
