Finally it's Fall

Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. It was Fall like weather yesterday and I did not hesitate for a minute to wear a new favorite cashmere sweater. Funny how I say "fall like weather" when indeed it is really fall but not until yesterday that he did get to experience chillier temperature comparable to high 80's in the last few weeks. I been into turtle necks style sweater lately and when I saw this at the store, I just fell in love. I got them in regular instead of my normal petite size because I want it to hang looser and a tad longer. For style and for hiding my food belly when I eat too much :). On a much taller person, the sweater could have been just below your hip bone. The length, higher slit on both sides as well as the front pockets are great fresh takes and modernize an old classic style. As I recall telling you guys that I do not like gray color that much, well I have a change of heart. I am into grays shopping and hunting lately. 

I hope you have a great day and fabulous halloween weekend ahead. 

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

Below the knee

Hi everyone. Cheers to another beautiful Tuesday. Is there any item of clothing that you are most intimidated of? Do you always go by the fashion rules and follow strictly? It is tricky and compromising when you are petite. Thou shall not wear skirts or dresses that hemlines were below your knee, you will look a lot shorter. 

For the longest time, I been wanting to try the midi trend. There are so many options out there but somehow I am cautious and overshadowed by the rules. For awhile I convince myself that this trend will shall pass and I don't have to see it ever again. However, I am a curious person. I want to try things before I say no. So I pull the trigger and hit the confirm purchase and I am here now my very first midi dress. And if you remember, I have tried the midi skirt as well via this post/post. Curiosity and fear no more. I once again push myself a bit my comfort zone. I tried and even more braver to take photos and share with you all. I've had these dress for a while and these photos were from few months ago but I felt not comfortable to post it on my blog. I've got nothing to lose, i felt more comfortable and for heaven sakes, I bought the dress so I did took a plunge. Being a petite gal, it is tricky. Like trial & error. Win or lose, here you go... I just broke the rules that were made to be broken. Me, in a midi dress. 

Oh, and I want your brutally honest opinion too. :)

Thank you from the heart.

Sun glow

Happy Thursday everyone. I been slacking with my blogging duties lately. Life is generally busy these days and will get busier as the holidays were just around the corner. It seems like whole day is not enough to do all the stuff that I needed to do or maybe just as my husband would say, " try getting up earlier,  lol".  Or I am getting too lazy to blog these days, not motivated and all I wanted to do is snuggle, stay warm & cozy with a cup of fresh pumpkin spice latte. October is almost to the end and how unbelievable it is that this year would be almost over pretty soon. Where did the year went by? What have I done for all these past months? Was I even productive? The last question, I really don't dare to answer :). Well that's it for now folks as I will try to be more productive today. I am glad that I updated the blog & was able to say hi to everyone. So if you'll excuse me, I have a gluten free banana bread baking right now in the oven and I have no reason not to work out today and get it over with.

Thank you from the heart....

Oktoberfest

Over the weekend we went on a short trip as a weekend getaway to this small town north of Georgia called Helen. It is a cute little german town that attracts tourist all year long and most especially around the Fall and holiday season. Helen's biggest celebration is their Oktoberfest that attracts massive people every year and that includes us of course. Even though this was not our first time to visit, it was still lots of fun, food and shopping. 

 Here are some pictures and hope you enjoy them. 

Thank you from the heart.

This is in one of those cute stores that serves the best hot cocoa ever. The smell of the chocolate takes everyone here and while I am waiting, found me my favorite spot in the whole store.

A German town is not complete without a christmas store that was a  delight to visit. 

3 Pearls & Mules

We are in Fall season and October is half way through, but don't you think it's crazy that I can still wear my "mules" at this time of the year? I wore this all black ensemble the other day for a quick meeting with my son's teacher to see his progress. So far so good says the lovely Ms. Peckett. But the admin's Ms. Putnam quick funny wit made me & my husband laughing on our way to my son's classroom. She said, "oh, oh you are both here. Dylan must be in big trouble". We told her that it was just a meeting and no, he's not in some kind of trouble. Ha, ha, ha...

It may be an all black ensemble, so easy to put together but I adore the organza peplum frill peeking at the bottom of this top and the 3 oversized pearls choker that I can't get enough of lately. Sometimes, the simplest and the easiest outfits that I put on that makes me more happier.  

Do you have those feeling happy outfit days too? 

I don't see any coats or sweater kinda day sooner so let me enjoy the days of nice summer weather in Fall. 

Thank you from the heart.

Just like a caramel

Love at first sight? Most definitely not. 

Love it now and later? Yes, yes....... 

Totally taken when seen, and worn? Double yeah ! 

Hey everyone, Happy Monday.  

I am talking about this striped caramel/black embellish top. I started to liked it as soon as I put it on. The material is not clingy and good quality. Thick but not too thick and will be good layering piece for Fall and Winter days. Even though it is more on a boxy cut, the darts on both sides just below the bust area gives an illusion of a smaller waist. 

The color is a perfect caramel and not the typical color combo.

Comfortable, non itchy and the embellish collar gives this top a more dressier vibe. 

And as much as this top is adorable, let me also say how glad I am found a laser cut bucket bag for a whopping $20..... And that the straps are shorter so I don't have to worry about long straps which can be annoying to some shortie gal like me :).  

 Today is my wonderful husband's birthday and as one of my gift for him, I will relieve him from his photographer duty for the day. I cannot imagine my life without you in it. 

Love you all the way to the moon and back....

Thank you from the heart.
