Into the gray side

Hi everyone. I been craving and lusting anything gray as soon as the colder months hits us. Gray is a strong trend this Fall/Winter 2014 and I am so happy about it. The color is versatile, neutral and as classic as black. And on every trend, there are always tons of options for everyone's budget. Making all trends so affordable for everyone. I can say I am a smart shopper because I always never pays full price for any item of clothing or shoes. I always wait when they the item that I am eyeing goes on sale or when there is some special promotion going on. Or ask if they can price match. It doesn't hurt to ask and especially during the holidays, retailers are very forgiving and wants that sale and will be more likely be accommodating. Since the biggest shopping season has officially started, more awesome sales and promotions is definitely on it's way. Lots of savings, special deals, longer hours, free shipping, and many more perks that retailers are offering these days are all we consider. Let's face it, any saving means more shopping, right ladies? 

Not only gray are a big trend that everyone including me are lusting about but also the big comeback of the 90's favorite, turtle necks. I am not a big fan of them back the days but now, I just adore them. A few weeks ago, I found these mock neck tunic sweater for a great price at my local Ann Taylor store at The Avenue Peachtree city location. It was markdown from $129 to $99 with an additional 60% off. What an amazing deal with something that on trend & good quality. If you want to see how I styled my tunic sweater, see my post here. 

Keep calm, enjoy a good coffee and have fun shopping.
Happy Thanksgiving.....

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.

xoxo

Color Blind

Happy Thursday everyone. I hope you all  had a good halloween. My son had enough candies to last him till the end of the year or maybe not because I will enjoy some of it from time to time. He had so much goodies that he cannot contained the excitement.  I have a question. I know Halloween is over but do I look like a pumpkin with this top on? Well my husband said so when he saw me with these outfit the other day. I came down and he said "you look like a pumpkin. The colors are so halloween ! He thought that I am participating at our halloween costume contest at work since I have mention that to him a few weeks earlier. When I put it on I did not even think about it. What was on my mind that morning was to go get dressed and be ready on time to avoid rushing and be late for work but definitely not to look like a pumpkin ! I told him that it's caramel and not orange. What do you guys think? By the way my husband is color blind. As I am finishing up with this post and look at this pictures - I asked myself, oh boy, oh boy, what was I thinking? In fairness, the website says it's striped tee in caramel/black!!!!

Have a great weekend !

Cobalt Blue & Lesson Learned

Hello everyone. It is almost Friday and I can't wait for the weekend to start rolling. I apologize for the quality of pictures on this post. The settings were wrong and  forgot to preview all the shots taken because we have gotten busy doing something else that day.    It's one of those moments when you sit back and be surprise after downloading the pictures and you get this "Oh No Moments". Nowadays stuff like this which is not near perfect does not bother me anymore for there are other things in life that are more important to cause worry. Less worry = less wrinkles and learned lessons from mistakes. My lesson learned is to never never forget to preview all photos before calling it done most especially if your photographer is more forgetful than you.... On the other hand, cobalt is an instant favorite color of mine and never fails to caught my eye. Such a vibrant and lovely color I think. I been noticing that my recent purchases are dominated by black which isn't bad. Black is chic and my favorite standly color but I try to incorporate other colors, textures and prints unto my wardrobe and experiment with them. See how it works on me and my body type. What works for others may not work for me ! That is why fashion is very personal and fun. So when I spotted this top in Cobalt and button down(another fav of mine), I knew that I will get it. 

Have a happy and fabulous weekend ! I heart you all...

On Count To Three

Happy Thursday you guys. Oh wow,  it's the last week of August and this month just fly by so fast . Any fun Labor day  plans? We are going to be out of town like some of  you and take advantage of the long weekend. We were off to dinner last week and since my husband/forced photgrapher was homed,  I took the opportunity to get blog taking photo activity out of the way. Boy, was I just have the wrong timing  or what ! My husband before even started with the task I asked him to do already pre warned me that this should be quick or we will be late for our dinner reservation. How quick? On count to three... And then my son was already complaining even before we got out of the car. Ok, I am so tagged team here ! So instead of getting irritated , I just go with the flow. Besides, I am the one asking for favor ! But the thing is, how hard it is really to take photos when all a person do is click a tiny botton and maybe once in a while zoom here and there.  Never again I will ask to take photos when people are hungry !!!!

May you have a fabulous weekend and thank you so much for reading.
