please pray for my bloggy friend Tiffany - her surgery is today!

A bloggy friend of mine, Tiffany from Dreams Do Come True is having her open heart surgery today. She needs prayers and positive thoughts sent her way!

Dreams Do Come True

In the short time I've gotten to know Tiffany I've learned what a sweet and kind-hearted person she is and I will definitely be praying that her surgery goes well. She will be updating me as soon as she can and when she updates me I will let you all know how she is doing!

She told me that she is having a valve reconstruction surgery and they are removing a piece of the membrane that is around one of the valves. It is supposed to be a 3 hour surgery but it may take longer depending on how well she does.

She said she will be in the hospital at least 7 days (and that's the minimum amount of days), depending on how everything goes. I'm praying that everything goes really well!!

Please pray for Tiffany and send her positive get well soon wishes below in the comments. She'll be by this post to see all of your positive wishes.

Thanks Ocean Dreamers!

skinny jeans: sexy & timeless - guest post by Lisa


I'm on my way to California to have some fun with my mom and aunt for our annual girl's weekend! So while I'm enjoying some ocean dreams, please enjoy a guest post!

*************************

Fashion trends come and go. However, skinny jeans for women are showing no signs of losing their appeal just yet. Why? With a combination of sexy style and timeless versatility, the skinny variety still turns heads. In addition, skinny jeans remain suitable for almost every occasion. 
Indeed, designers aren’t about to stop putting their own twist on the skinny jean. Low rise and super skinny leg are just some of the different types available. 

Apart from simply looking great, skinny jeans also produce that marvelous slimming effect. In that regard alone, it’s hardly surprising that they’re still flying off the shelves and into wardrobes.

Go darker with skinny jeans and get ready to hit the town

Faded jeans seem to go in and out of fashion pretty quickly. But dark denims are always a hit. This also applies to skinny jeans. If opting for dark denim then the skinny variety is perfect for when you’re hitting the town.
Think about it: if you’re going for a night out a dressier, a darker pair of jeans is ideal. They combine both comfort and style. 

All you need to add is a smart belt and a pair of boots or heels. Hey presto, you’ve now got a figure flattering focal point guaranteed to turn heads.

Dressing up or down no problem in skinny jeans

The truth is skinny jeans look great whether you choose to dress up or down. Like leggings, they hug the body and show off those lovely curves. And you can tailor a number of different looks and styles around your chosen pair.
Finding the best skinny jean type to match your requirements doesn’t have to be too difficult, either. Designs such as the ‘Breathless’ aim to offer ladies the ultimate ankle length skinny. Meanwhile, denim legging styles such as the ‘Vienna’ maintain that classic skintight fit.

Step out in style in a skinny-inspired outfit

Undoubtedly, sticking on a pair of skinny jeans is going to accentuate and draw attention to your bottom-half. When you’re wearing flattering denim then that’s no problem. 
But it does mean you have to ensure you’ve got some cute shoes on too. The ankle length skinny is going to also place emphasis on your feet. Buy why stop there? A skinny-inspired outfit is one of the hottest trends right now. For example, matching your skinny jeans with printed tees is a great way of showing off your personality. Alternatively, V-neck tees wonderfully compliment jeans while slim collarless shirts also work well. 

The versatility, unrelenting popularity and enduring sex appeal ensure designers aren’t about to lose faith in skinny jeans. If worn correctly women of all shapes and sizes can look and feel amazing. As already hinted at, another major advantage of skinny jeans is that they allow ladies to show off their footwear. 

The cut of the jean draws attention to the ankle. So, get ready for some figure hugging style and the chance to proudly display some gorgeous heels or stunning boots.
