The brits

My, my, my.... The last time I checked we are not british. The last time I checked we most certainly not pirates and therefore I don't speak pirate. But my son start talking to me his own version of british accent. He's funny and it doesn't surprise me a bit but I still can't keep a straight face. I have to go to the other room and laugh so he doesn't see me. He even practice reciting his poem at home with a british accent. He's serious about it and I don't want to hurt his feelings. I just let him. It is so amazing how we see ourselves in our children. I see myself in my son in many ways. Like him being funny, intuitive, full of life, too opinionated and talkative. He's extremely closed to both me and his dad but there are things that he's a lot more comfortable doing just in front of me. I asked him why? He says, because dad is always serious(true). I am most silly with my son than my husband but I can be tough and means business when there is a need for it. 

Then the other day, I chaperone my son's class field trip. A classmate of his came up to me and asks, Dylan's mom are you british? Ha, ha ha, I am not. Dylan says you are :).

Also if not speaking in a british or pirate accents cracks me up every now and then, once in a while my son will call me Mama Gertrude.... Not sure but your guess is as good as mine.

Now let's talk about outfit....

As I am showing a new found likeness for shades of gray, I also rekindle my old love for olive and turtle neck sweaters. This skirt's true color is olive green and it didn't show much on my pictures(sigh).

Thank you from the heart.

Tuesday Cat

Happy Tuesday folks. I just catch myself with a print theme these week as evident with my last post and now and yet another favorite. Here, I featured plaid and today it's my all time favorite and some of you as well, the leapord print. I always think that the print speaks for itself and therefore it doesn't need anything else to spice it up. But rather just some add on's here and there, a tiny dosage ! A vest maybe in neutral color to match the bag and one pop color for some fun and visual interest and this little lady is literally out the door. How easy is that? For a more adventurous and fashion forward type, adding another leapord print is absolutely fine. Just don't over do it and get all crazy with the rest of the outfit.   You know, so much of a good thing is not good. 

I also prefer a shift style dress as a silhouette instead of the body hugging/skin tight kind. It's just a personal preference and nothing against others who prefer body hugging kind. Now if I can only bring in some more floral prints into my wardrobe then that is another to talk about in my future post.

When the weather gets more cooler, I can wear my high boots, a tights maybe and thinking of a red coat to drape my shoulder and another outfit in the future. 

Thank you from the heart.

Wishing you all a fabulous day !

In the city

Having been living in the suburbs since our moved almost 3 years ago, makes me really missed living in the city. As crazy as it may sound but I love the urban lifestyle, busy, crowded and noise. Seems like everything is right at my reach. Coming from a big city like Houston, TX and remember how I used to see downtown building outside our windows makes me miss it even more. Where we lived now is not so bad after all. With just about 30 minutes from downtown, we are adjusting pretty well and getting used to it. Lines are shorter anywhere we go, less crowded and less busy. Even though we don't get the nice view from the windows anymore, it is a lot peaceful her. Very quiet is is deafening at times. With With last Monday as holiday here in US and so many events going on in ATL, we went and spend the day in the city. And with Dragon com(like a comic con) was going on at that time, that explains why those guys(picture below) dressed in the 70's outfit photobomb me :). It's like halloween in September seeing different people all dressed up in costume. 

And since they photobomb me, why not have a picture with them......

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you from the heart.

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

Window down

If you are lucky enough to live somewhere warm and sunny, then you are very lucky. It has been so cold everywhere and today I heard on the news that it is even colder in Chicago than in the North Pole. My son was very happy to stay home for 2 days because most schools here in Atlanta were closed due to weather. I myself don't feel like going out. My daily outfit consist of rotation of pajamas and socks. I know it is not a fabulous sight but I feel like hibernating on this cold weather with a cup of good coffee in the morning or a hot cocoa. If it's not for no more food to cook at home, I dare not to go outside. 

And can you blame me for wearing over and over again my new found favorite faux fur vest? She gives me warm and comfort just like my home made soup and stew as per my husband and son. I piled on top of another olive vest and a sweater for texture, color and mainly to combat cold. 

And as for my little photographer, he agreed to take photos provided he gets to stay inside the car with just the window roll down and properly fed with his choice of food. I think that it is a lot easier to tag him along when he's just a baby and not when he's 8. And yes, he likes to eat at restaurant and no more kids meal. The boy knows how to negotiate !

So while we are waiting for my mother in law at the airport pick up zone only, my son snap some photos of me(of course me urging him). Not quite a busy day, less cars at the curve that's why we did it. But the funny thing is those airport security were on their segway were just literally few steps from me and did not even say a word like "ah miss this is a 5 minute pick up zone only" and "Why are you taking photos"? ha ha ha......The two of them just watched. 

Happy Wednesday everyone.

xoxo
