DELILAH DIOR DOMINICA

Hello World!!! It has been such a long time and in the weeks since I posted last, I have finished my junior year, I have become Mrs. Oshiomogho Atogwe, and jet-set across the world to Fiji, Australia, and Bora Bora. It has truly been the happiest time of my life. In order to fully share everything, I decided the best way to approach this was to blog a little bit piece by piece, dissecting all of it so this special time can be swirled around the glass, inhaled and sipped slowly- I will do my best do return to every day and dive into the joy and bliss that surrounded it. Let's take it all the way back to wedding week.   Picking up the dress Monday morning!  All spic-n'-span after months of forest legs Bachelorette Wednesday night thrown by my best friend Monica  Proverbs 31 written throughout bouquets throughout the week   The incredible Rehearsal Dinner The curve ball of this week was that Oj decided long before we were talkin' marriage that he didn't want ...

Hello world!! (Sometimes I like to think the world reads my blog(: ) I am currently in sunny Saratoga spending time with my mommy and brother in law until the whole family gets here tonight. Well, minus my older brother..he's with my love at his Bachelor weekend in Vegas. I have to bust out two final projects and study enough to feel prepared for three finals Monday and Tuesday...but I have so much to say! So I am going to make a short IOU list: The topic of faith and trust (bachelor party weekend may or may not have inspired this...) My sister's baby shower My amazing Mama A 'Moments' session I am promising a whole lot right now- and I am a good promise keeper! So stay tuned. For now, I just had to post the photos from my school's fashion show. These clothes are unbelievable. I have never underestimated the incredible talent of my peers, I am just not a "school spirit" type of girl. My Fashion Trend Analysis class obliged me into the situation of l...

As I lay in bed after a long day of working on projects and studying, I remember a wonderful moment from this weekend; trying out mattresses (pretty much just napping) with my bubs.

Here we are on a lovely Sunday night, on the first of May. This day marks "my wedding month," and exactly three weeks until I Do. I can't believe we're out of the "months" and into the "weeks!" When I used to see women out and about and hear that they were ___ weeks away from their wedding, my heart would get all nervous. I'd think to myself, "shouldn't she be at some appointment or something?! Staying inside to avoid city bacteria, unfortunate tan lines, broken bones and the like? NEGLECTFUL BRIDE!" And now that I'm here, I'm laughing at the fact that the wedding is on the burner behind the back burner in my brain. I cannot wait to marry my bubs- but there are 288,881,0118 things that require my full attention that happen to take place first.  The city was absolutely beautiful today and everything seemed a little bit sweeter. When my love and I finished church, we decided to walk to a new doughnut spot. (Yes, he loves...

I'm surprised I don't have a post with this title yet, because little moments are the things I pay attention to most at the end of the day. I decided to post a weekly section on little moments from the week. I have had too many special moments and it's only Wednesday...so I'm posting one early.  This morning, one of my dearest high school friend came to the city. She is going to school for nursing in southern California, so we don't get a chance to see each other very often. She happens to be in San Francisco for a missions trip and squeezed a few hours in to have coffee with lil' ol' me. I played it up too much in my head, picturing talking for hours and catching up on every minute of life we have missed since our last long video chat (Early January.) Real life kicked in quickly. She had a small window of time to register for classes, and I could see her half listening, with one eye on her laptop, half an eye on her strawberry nutella crepe and half an e...

From up in the sky... For some reason, part of me is still amazed that I can get internet 36,000 feet up in the sky. (This is why I always test it out whenever I'm on the plane.) Though I am studying the business side of fashion, the art of it all is where my heart is. I can't go a day without drawing something- and though lately nothing is complex I make sure that I set aside time to do more than doodle on napkins with my talent. Thank you Father God for my talent, may I always glorify You and your holiness with it!!! Thank you for dying on the cross for me today. 

I was inspired recently while waiting for the bus to my afternoon class by staring at the ground. I do this often, mainly because I'm usually thinking of 13 things at once, and to focus on all 13 equally, I can't be too focused on much of anything; if I look completely zoned out...I probably am. What shook me from my distractions were the shoes of my fellow classmates. I am amazed at the creativity of the men and women at my school. Some days I am convinced each class room is a catwalk, everyone putting forth their best efforts to please. Maybe we are trying to please instructors, though I secretly believe we are trying to please each other. (I used to say "I dress up for me," but I don't believe that anymore. Everyone dresses up for somebod y.) To cater to the Dior portion of my blog, I will keep a running post of the interesting shoes of my classmates. The shots are quick and in the moment, usually snapped with my phone so forgive the quality. I hope you e...
