Touches of gold

The thing about wearing OTK boots for me is to keep everything in your outfit simple. The boots itself is already a statement, therefore the rest of the outfit should just play a secondary role. I want a look that is less busy, more cohesive and not complicated. It may have been a monotone outfit but the texture play a big difference. I say it over and over in almost all my post but I think it makes dressing up so much fun and make us somehow a pro in mixing textures and prints. I am a fan of an all black ensemble but I like to add some spice to it. Case in point, some gold touches. Easy peesy, if you ask me. Out the door in no time. I like color, I like print and textures but we always go back with the basic of staying in one solid color. I called it cleaning the palette and start with something new tomorrow. 

I hope you like it. 

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 !

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.

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

Zara 2.0

Hola everybody. Happy new week. For those that actually enjoyed their longer weekend off, how was it? Ours was awesome ! Anything that involves my love ones always are the best of time ever. Today is all about crochet and florals. Since Zara had a great sale that has already started and still ongoing, I took advantage and purchase some that I been eyeing since it became available. This matching floral jacket and shorts are the first ones on my list. However, I did not like it as much as the one's I got from last year. See here. The shorts fits me oddly I think and the jacket well, it's ok. I like that it has a pebbled texture and not smooth as the shorts. Although they are a matching pair in terms of prints, the fabric were totally different. The crochet top, it is a size XS. It has an oversized/boxy fit. 

The sleeves are a bit longer. 

As I am almost done with this post and looking at how the whole outfit and pictures came out,  I may have to agree with my son. 

He told me that this is not the best clothes for me. 

As soon as I came out, my precocious and super opinionated 8 year old said he didn't like it. 

What you didn't like, I asked? 

All of it :( - today may not be my lucky day.........

I apologized for some blurry pictures today. My dear photographer were in a darn hurry butt :). 

I hope you have a fantastic day....

Yay or nay? 

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

Crossover weekend

Are you already tired of my chambrays? This little lady has a tiny bit of problem and an obsession. It is slowly taking over my closet. Will  you blame me? I am a big fan of skirt and therefore the purchase is a no brainer. It is one of those happy purchase again because it does not involve alteration and i just simply prefer skirts than dresses. I adore the crossover design and the bow, well mine didn't actually look like a bow but you get the idea. Actually the knotted and the crossover design reminds me of a tulip flower. 

Belated happy mother's day to all the moms out there. 

Being a mother is a touch job but I would have it any other way,

 I am sure other mother's like me will agree !

Thank you from the heart.

The jean jacket

The jean or denim jacket has been around for decades. It is one of the most versatile piece of clothing anybody should have in their closet which makes pairing and wearing it the more easier.
It comes in different wash, price range and silhouettes. Jean jacket's are one of those things that the older it gets the better it feels and look.  Actually my husband has a vintage Levi's jacket that now has been handed down to me. It was too small for him but hang on to it for years. It is still huge on me but i but I sure that I can find ways to wear it one of these days when I feel like I am too cool for school.....
 The possibilities of pairing a jean jacket are endless. See me here . Case in point, I am wearing mine with such fun, bright and colorful skirt. It almost makes me feel so youthful :) Such simple piece, easy to wear and yet it has a classic cult following....
Thank you from the heart.
