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.

Into the woods

Good Monday morning everyone. Taking some photos for the blog has been a real challenge lately. We are doing some updates around the house which takes lots of my time and there's this winter weather that slows me down with my day to day routine. I prefer to stay in bed if I can all day, warm & toasty under the covers. Well in reality that is not gonna happen because I have things to do, people to see and so on and on.... On a cold day like yesterday, a coffee in hand & a very cooperative little boy as my back up photographer makes everything flows smoothly. 

I love a good poncho. I adore them ! It is so comfortable in many ways you can imagine. Well, that may be overly dramatic but yes, it's really comfortable. And since I find myself obsessing with gray lately, you know it's a no brainer that this one came home with me.  

I even wear it to church(don't judge :)

As we are walking outside the church parking lot, my son asked? 

"Mom, what do you call what you're wearing? 

Me, a "poncho". 

Then he said, "the kind they wear at the village". 

"Me, what village? 

My son says in "Peru".

 Me. " how did you know? 

Son replied, "from the book I was reading. 

Ha, ha, ha.................

After church my son took these photos but as he gets closer and took his so called "favorite shots", we have these conversation again. 

"Mom, I know why dad fell in love with you & marry you" . 

Me,  why? 

Son, " I wouldn't tell because I am embarrassed to tell you.  

Me, "ok boo spit it out" . 

Because you are H.O.T. (he spelled it out!)

Ha ha ha.......... 

 I told my husband about it and me and him had a good laugh. 

Who knew that I can be a H.O.T villager from Peru. 

I hope you have a fantastic Monday.

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

Finally it's Fall

Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. It was Fall like weather yesterday and I did not hesitate for a minute to wear a new favorite cashmere sweater. Funny how I say "fall like weather" when indeed it is really fall but not until yesterday that he did get to experience chillier temperature comparable to high 80's in the last few weeks. I been into turtle necks style sweater lately and when I saw this at the store, I just fell in love. I got them in regular instead of my normal petite size because I want it to hang looser and a tad longer. For style and for hiding my food belly when I eat too much :). On a much taller person, the sweater could have been just below your hip bone. The length, higher slit on both sides as well as the front pockets are great fresh takes and modernize an old classic style. As I recall telling you guys that I do not like gray color that much, well I have a change of heart. I am into grays shopping and hunting lately. 

I hope you have a great day and fabulous halloween weekend ahead. 

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

Scuba dooba doo

Happy Wednesday everyone. For the last few days our weather here in Atl definitely shows signs that Spring is just around the corner. Such a perfect day to wear a new favorite, the scuba skirt! She's a stronger, thicker scuba fabric that flares out. This baby can literally stand on it's own even though it feels so lightweight to wear. 

I have a lot of errands to do today so I am signing off here. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.
