Neutral Monday

Happy Monday everyone. What a gorgeous day to start our week. Outside our house I can see trees with buds starting to bloom. Although our weather are still unpredictable for the most part, the spring is almost here. I am playing with neutrals today with a punch of leopard. Wearing this lightweight open knit top that I never had the chance to wear last year. I have other visions to wear this top but for now I am liking it. Also I have to give it to my husband for being loving and being patient with me especially on days that no matter how starving he can be, but will still stop to take some photos simply because I asked. And my note to myself,  to stop being spoiled rotten because I know I can around him.........

Thank you so much for reading and for your time. 

May you have a great week ahead of you !

Queen Bee

Hello, hello........... Taking an inspiration from last nights show that my son loves to watch, The Animal Planet. Last nights episode were all about the bees. Injecting sunny yellow, a classic black and dotted pants to otherwise a super windy, cold and almost boring day. Thus recreating an inner queen bee in me.  Now if only I have wings. 

On another note, this coming up Saturday(March 9) will be an all day affair for me. My son's first baseball game for the season and an invite to Atlanta's Neiman Marcus to meet and greet Kay Unger New York and Phoebe Couture designer Christy Carlisle Smith. She will be presenting her 2013 Spring collection. I would not miss both events and I know that I will have fun. 

Thank you all for reading and have a great hump day everyone.

Insta-Trip

My trip to Hong kong was really crazy short and quick. When I say quick it is really quick. I left Wednesday and was back home Friday. Super exhausting for sure !  I just went to actually bring my mom back to stay with us for a little while. I don't want to stay for a few more days since my husband and my son were not with me anyway. Traveling without them would mean not much fun for me. 

I was never lost in translation

 Great thing is that from the terminals, there is access to the hotels that are around the airport. 

Intrigue by her.

I needed some from here to calm down the energizer bunny in me.

The best stir fry Udon noodles I tasted.

Too many cups of you

I always leave out the pickled ginger with my sushi. This time I tried it and i kinda like it !

Valentino @ the HK airport.

 When is enough time, enough? Almost did not make it to my flight back home because of you. I lost track of time. There are just so many fabulous stores ! 

Looking terribly haggard due to lack of sleep. I did not sleep on my way to and back. Sleeping pill did not help at all. Ok, maybe because I watched too much movies during the flight. I just can't sleep !

I just got through talking with my husband and son. When I am tired my brain just shuts off.  Nothing sinks in anymore. I asked my son why are you not in school? He said mommy it's night time here! Oh, not knowing the date, day and time sometimes can be so liberating. All I want at this moment was to get on the plane and go home. 

Although it was such a short trip, I am super happy to be headed home. I miss my husband and son so much !

Thank you so much for reading. Happy Monday everyone.......

Best Therapy

Happy Friday everyone. I found this house slippers last week while out shopping for my very short trip to HongKong. I regret not buying it. I really don't need it but I just thought that it is too cute. I say, it is the best therapy to cure if you feel bored and amongst other reasons and excuse to shop.  

Thank you all for reading and have a fabulous weekend !

 

Add Some Parka

Hello everyone. Why is it that when I am actually looking for a particular item of clothing it seems like I cannot find just the right one. With me being petite, I have a few considerations to make in terms of sizing and all. Like for instance, this parka jacket that I found when I am actually shopping for something else. Without any contemplation, little miss parka went home with me and I cannot even be more happier. It has enough weight to it, detachable fur collar, great for layering, not too thick, well made and most of all not too long and too large that overpower my petite frame. Don't you just love shoppings days like that? 

On another note: did anyone watch the Oscars last night? Some nominees that I was hoping to win actually won. I think Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry are all drop dead amazing ! Just a perfect time to unwind and let me reflect on our game plan for the week ahead. One thing is for sure though, it is gonna be very busy !

As always thank you for reading and have a wonderful Monday to all.

I See Your True Colors

Hello, hello everyone! Few days ago the weather here in Atlanta was all great. All day of sunshine, not cold and no rain. However, every time my husband comes home he brings all this rain, windy, cold and cloudy days with him. I told him about that jokingly, of course ! Just like today, it is cloudy and dreary. The weather has been not so nice in the last few weeks and today is not an exception.  Oh weather, you will not beat me with this !!!!!  The order for the day - wear something bright and fun ! The colors were not near close to spring like colors but bright cobalt blue and fun printed red would brighten my day and any day for that matter. Also a bit representation of my personality.

 If color represent your true personality, then what color would it be?  

Thank you all for reading and for the sweet thoughts.

2x The Denim

Our weekend was a bit busy. It all started with the birthday party, to a baseball practice and doing all errands. Since I know that I have no time to go home for a quick change, wearing  the ever versatile chambray shirt comes to mind. With such a busy day, an easy breezy, no fuss denim on denim is the way to go for me.  Although later on I have to make a quick shoes change to a ballet flats which give me such a relief ! How about you, how was your weekend?

Thank you so much for reading.
