Earth Chic (Happy Earth Day 2012) :)

Earth Chic by confectionarystyle featuring lightweight shoes

On April 22, more than one billion people around the globe will participate in Earth Day. I personally would wear this outfit to go out and clean our Earth to make the world better for future generations. I try hard to not buy unnecessary articles of clothing or personal things that I will not use often. I try to donate or give away clothes (that's what me and my family did when we left the States for Europe) instead of throwing our belongings away that we could not sell we donated them to the Salvation Army for those less fortunate than us and to lessen our Carbon footprint. Or make them into something new. We should all do our part to save Mother Earth because without her we have no where to live. Together we will stand united for a sustainable future and call upon individuals, organizations, and governments to do their part. We should elevate the importance of environmental issues around the world, because its important to keep our futures bright and alive. For more info about how to help save our Earth go to: http://www.earthday.org/ and http://www.earthhour.org/. I did participate in this years Earth Hour and let me tell you it felt good to be part of something bigger than myself and part of a global effort. And I leave you with this:

Happy Easter one week late !

Walk A Day in My Shoes by confectionarystyle featuring studded jewelry

Sorry for the way late post guys. I have been really busy in fact. Although I have been on Easter Break from University, I have been busy nonetheless. With research papers and presentations and study for my Spring 2012 Mid-Term Exams, and sending holiday greeting cards to friends and family I have barely had time for anything personal including this lovely blog of mine and all of you awesome readers. Had we done something for Easter this year the above looks would be what I would have worn frolicking in the woods (actually the park-I can only dream of fairy-tale's cant I) picking those lovely colorful eggs (preferably chocolatey ones--my weakness next to shoes). In actuality I am a late Easter wisher for the Catholic Easter but for Orthodox Easter I am right on time. Well comment away and make my day. Stay sweet. :)

Looks 4 Less: Sweet things

Sweet things. by confectionarystyle featuring platform heels

Ms. Williams is cute as can be in a floral Erdem sheath dress and gray slingbacks. Have I told you guys how much I love florals. It was very hard to find an inexpensive dress that look exactly like Michelle's but I opted for a maxi to go for a more causal spring vibe, versus the dressed up look she is wearing. I am obsessed with maxi everything right now. Michelle's pixie makes me miss my own short childhood hair, although I didn't look as chic back in the day. The Total for this Look 4 Less is: $ 99. One word: Touch Down baby. I hit this right on the nose as far as staying below the 100 dollar range. Well peace out and always stay sweet. 

Holidays Past: April thru October

Like anyone out there, I love celebrating. What I mean by that is, any excuse for a holiday, wedding or birthday I am game for. So, I bring to you the Holidays of April-October. I chose these months because I started my blog in April and I cant believe its been seven months since I started my blog (a couple of more months and it will be a year of blogging; wow).  Well with that said lets get on with the show. First up April:

I started my blog on April 8th, so I started with the holidays after that day.

Some of the Holidays I chose to feature for the month of April. 

April 12: Ram Navami (Hindu holiday).

April 18: Passover (Jewish holiday).

April 27: Administrative Professionals Day

April as a Month is Humor Month. (Hahah. Get it.)

I would like to point out that I chose one holiday from each week of the months I am going to list (starting with the first day of the week- Monday). I did this because it would be to long of a post to list every possible holiday for the past seven months. If you would like to learn more about the holidays featured feel free to Google them or look at the calenders provided and there you will find even more holidays than I chose to feature. Regardless of your faith or whether you celebrate any of these holidays big or small. Nonetheless they are holidays and should be acknowledged and I am acknowledging them here. Hope you appreciate my efforts.

May is one of my favorite months. One because of Mothers Day where we thank our lovely mothers for everything they have done for us. And two because of Memorial Day where we thank the men and women who fight for freedom and remember those that lost their lives in the process.

May 2: Brother's and Sisters Day (I have a sister if you were wondering).

May 13: Frog Jumping Day (That sounds fun).

May 23: World Turtle Day

May 30: Memorial Day (USA) [I participated in my city's local parade when I was in middle school].

All of May: May Flowers Month

That's it for the Spring months next up Summer (June, July and August my favorite time of the year- next to Christmas and my birthday of course).

Yay. Schools OUT and my Birthday's IN.

June 3: National Doughnut Day (USA)

June 7: Shavuot (Jewish holiday).

June 14: Flag Day (USA).

All of June is Summer Time. (What time is it? Summer time, its our vacation. What time is it? Party time. Schools out scream and shout. High School Musical 2 reference yo. )

Next up wonderful and hot MISS JULY. LOL.

July 4: Fourth of July (USA Independence Day).

July 11: Cheer Up Day

July 18: Hug Week

July 26: Aunt and Uncle Day

All of July is July Flowers month.

August has lots of Holidays too, but I will try to focus on a few.

August 1: Girlfriend's Day (I love all my friends, they mean the world to me).

August 30: Hari Raya (Islamic Holiday)

Lovely September Morning is next. (I love September. One school starts and after 3 months of summer you kind of need school to start as your bored out of your mind and two the crisp fall air is in the AIR. :)

I don't know why in this collage I did the holidays out of order. Oh well what can you do. Right?

September 1: Ganesh Chaturthi (Hindu Holiday)

September 5: Labor Day (USA)

September 12: Happy Moon Festival (Chinese Holiday)

September 23: Chocolate Day (Yes a day all about Chocolate sign me up. Yummy, yummy in my tummy.)

October 3: Durga Puja

October 10: Canadian Thanksgiving

October 25: Say "Hey" Day

October 31: All Hallows Eve (in other word Halloween-costume time).

All of October Navratri Month.

And with that I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and time with their families where ever you are in the world. I also hope everyone had a nice and fun and spooktacular Halloween this past week. Sadly I did not have the privilege that I did as a child growing up in the States to dress up in a costume and go trick or treating (even though I am not a child anymore-that's the best part of Halloween; the CANDY and FREE candy at that. Am I right or am I Right?) {Wait's patiently for answer. Crickets chripiing.} Yeah I am right. I am always right.

This post is no way meant to be religious, it just so happened that a lot of religious holidays were between the Months of April-October. Its meant to be a fun fact like post and to help broaden your horizons about other cultures. I personally learned a lot. The fact that each month is known for more than Easter, Halloween, Mothers Day, etc, there's other holidays worth celebrating.
