Don't look away

Nothing much to say today. My thoughts are scattered and I am still trying to process what had just happen in the last 24 hours. With what had just my little brother did, I hope he now realized what big of a mistake it was and he realized it's consequences. I can't think straight because I am angry, disappointed and utterly devastated. I wish we have control over things that might have happen but sadly we don't. When things like such happen, I try to hide my emotions by looking away.
 I am just thankful that in times when things turns up side down, I have my husband and son as my escape, my safe haven and my refuge. They give me comfort and peace of mind. Making it a lot easier not to  look away and smile.
Pardon my ramblings, I will try to be better next time.

Nevertheless, I wish you all a fabulous weekend. 

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

And since it's Friday, moi is linking up with these fantastic ladies from :

Vest Be With You

Maybe you are wondering why in the hell I am dress all black in the middle of summer? What happen to the bright colors, pastels or even an all white look? There is a method to my madness ! Yes it is all black but I am wearing something that is breathable courtesy of my crochet top, no sleeves via this vest and a shorts. So even it is black, i still feel cooler and comfortable. 

Everything is lightweight and such an easy wear. 

Some kind of trick that I have been tried and works for me. 

The vest pull the whole look together. It's like showing some and hide some type of thing :) 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 

I am getting packed for our short trip to Florida. 

We are attending the funeral and pay last respect to my husband's cousin the last time. 

Thank you so much for all the sweetest thoughts, virtual hugs and condolences.

 I truly, truly appreciates it all.

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

I am also participating with these lovely ladies :

Mamanista Fridays

and 

In the navy

Navy is the new black ! It is as versatile as black. Neutral enough that it paired beautifully with almost any other color. A navy/black combo is as almost as classic and chic as black/white in my book. Although I must admit that I do not have a lot of pieces in this hue mainly because I geared more toward a cousin hue, cobalt blue but I never say no. It is a possibility that in the future navy will start taking over my closet. I am actually in the hunt for a short trench coat in navy, maybe you can help me find one. I would love your suggestions. 

But nevertheless, TGIF. 

I hope you have a fantastic weekend most especially to all the mama's out there. 

Happy mother's day !

Thank you from the heart.

Mamanista Fridays 

and

Brights

If you are not feeling good, sad, going through a difficult time or the weather is such a drag and dreary....... I hope the bright colors of my jacket and sweater lightens your load, lift your spirit up, brings you hope and a smile on your pretty face :) !

This jacket has long been forgotten and never wear often. It is one of my great finds and can be dependable on days that I need a shield from windy cool days. 

Have a fabulous Monday everyone and thank you for stopping by!

My Valentine

It's Valentine's day once again. I don't exactly remember what we did last year and yet here we are again celebrating this event. Surely 2014 is faster than it seems. No biggie plan for us. My husband and I both agreed not to get each other anything fancy for a gift. For me, a good dinner somewhere would be enough. I would even prefer for him and my son to make me a home made card than the one they can buy at store. Or even a handwritten letter would even be better! I am even ok celebrating at home. I want to surprise him but he's always one step ahead of me. Well I will find out somehow. 

How are you celebrating? Tell me about it next time. But for now, loved and be love..... Happy  Valentine's day! 

xoxo

Pop the collar

Brrrrrrrr, it is so cold out here in Atlanta and it is not helping my days to be productive. Perhaps I am just getting old, hibernating and plain old lazy. I started doing things later during the day than I would hope for. What happen to the the early riser gets the worm? I missed a dozen worms in the process. Anyhow, inspired by my son's book(Geronimo Stilton, a super cool rat detective.) He wears his favorite trench coat with the collar popped ! But my question is does popping a collar have a place in style? Absolutely(says Fred Castleberry)(see the article here) and I say the same way. So if you feel like popping the collar anytime soon, go ahead pop away !!!!!

Stay fabulous and occasionally pop your collar.

Thank you for visiting. All your input and comments are so much appreciated.

xoxo
