OTK

 When this OTK(over the knee)boots trend first came out, I really wanted to try it but on the other hand I am quite intimidated. I procrastinate but I always keep it my mind. You know I am petite & that is something that I always take into consideration when dressing for my body type. An OTK boot I think is a trend that is unforgiving. Plus, the high heeled types has this stigma of a hooker/street walker look and a trend by choice. It's you like it or you don't. Luckily this trend has been coming back every Fall/Winter for the last few years and I gave it another try. My first one(see previous post here) was a low heel and have enjoyed it so much. Tall, sleek & great for lots and lots of walking. Since it is so trendy, I thought it was enough. I got the sleek look that I was looking for and do not want to fork too much on such a trendy piece until this one...... A high heeled, pointy, great details and affordable. All of a sudden I have the change of heart. While at the checkout counters browsing on a fashion mag, I saw this wallet friendly alternative. I gave in, order it anyway and now I can even be more happier.
Since the boots is an statement by itself, I keep the rest of the outfit pretty simple. I just let the boots do the talking. A subtle hint of color on a monochrome ensemble via this pastel vest adds another texture and another dimension to my whole look.
I think it is a perfect get up for a date night with my favorite man. 

What are your thoughts? Brutal or not, they are all acceptable by me :).
Happy Monday everyone.

Thank you from the heart.

School girl

Hello everyone. How was your week so far? One more days till the weekend so I know that you can do it & survive this week's rut :). It was cold enough for me to wear this coat that I got on sale last year from Zara. Whenever they have sale, it becomes the death of me. They have trendy and nicely made pieces so whenever Zara marks down their prices, I take advantage. As for today's outfit, I wore this the other day and did not noticed until I check myself out in the mirror before we go. Hey self, channeling that inner school girl within you today? Yes, kind of ! Well sorta but minus the pony tails and the plaid. Ok, maybe no- not really..... I am just too cold and wearing the OTK boots instead of these knee highs is not flattering and dwarfs me(i think). And when you are not blessed with a super model height to boast then anything that will remotely make me look even shorter is a no go. 

Sorry, it's that short people syndrome.....:)

 However, I will still like to wear them OTK boots one day....

Stay warm and safe.

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

3 Pearls & Mules

We are in Fall season and October is half way through, but don't you think it's crazy that I can still wear my "mules" at this time of the year? I wore this all black ensemble the other day for a quick meeting with my son's teacher to see his progress. So far so good says the lovely Ms. Peckett. But the admin's Ms. Putnam quick funny wit made me & my husband laughing on our way to my son's classroom. She said, "oh, oh you are both here. Dylan must be in big trouble". We told her that it was just a meeting and no, he's not in some kind of trouble. Ha, ha, ha...

It may be an all black ensemble, so easy to put together but I adore the organza peplum frill peeking at the bottom of this top and the 3 oversized pearls choker that I can't get enough of lately. Sometimes, the simplest and the easiest outfits that I put on that makes me more happier.  

Do you have those feeling happy outfit days too? 

I don't see any coats or sweater kinda day sooner so let me enjoy the days of nice summer weather in Fall. 

Thank you from the heart.

Just like a caramel

Love at first sight? Most definitely not. 

Love it now and later? Yes, yes....... 

Totally taken when seen, and worn? Double yeah ! 

Hey everyone, Happy Monday.  

I am talking about this striped caramel/black embellish top. I started to liked it as soon as I put it on. The material is not clingy and good quality. Thick but not too thick and will be good layering piece for Fall and Winter days. Even though it is more on a boxy cut, the darts on both sides just below the bust area gives an illusion of a smaller waist. 

The color is a perfect caramel and not the typical color combo.

Comfortable, non itchy and the embellish collar gives this top a more dressier vibe. 

And as much as this top is adorable, let me also say how glad I am found a laser cut bucket bag for a whopping $20..... And that the straps are shorter so I don't have to worry about long straps which can be annoying to some shortie gal like me :).  

 Today is my wonderful husband's birthday and as one of my gift for him, I will relieve him from his photographer duty for the day. I cannot imagine my life without you in it. 

Love you all the way to the moon and back....

Thank you from the heart.

Almost TGIF ! Life has been busy lately to me. I am very sure that you are so relieve that weekend is right around the corner. When is the next school break again? I am serious, I want to sleep in every mornings. I am not an early riser, not a big fan. There I admit it ! But being a parent comes with responsibility to make sure my son is everyday ready for school so waking up early isn't so bad at all. Besides in few more years I will never get to do it anymore and pretty much will miss all about it and if I am still blogging then, you will know about it too :)

Well, anyway here's my Thurday's wish list from this online site, Persunmall that has a  massive choices for anything fashion.
