Open field

Hello everyone. For those that celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you all had a blast ! We had a wonderful thanksgiving with the company of the people we love. My mother in law's house was full of people but we managed to find space for everyone. A few days of time off is really nice but getting back to a normal routine is quite a challenged for me this morning. It may take until tomorrow to snap out of it. There are things that needs to get done so this is a quick say Hi to everyone and wish you a fantastic week. But first things first is hello December ! You sure came so fast. How can it be possible that we are a month away to welcome a new year. But one thing is for sure that this ankle boots are really made for walking. I been wearing it non stop and it is comfortable than I thought !

Thank you from the heart.

xoxo

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

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

Obsession

My current obsession for these Fall/Winter season are these turtleneck/mock neck style sweaters. I can't get enough of it. Like I have told you previously that I have a rekindled love for them, it's true and becoming an obsession. And even though it has been written on some fashion tips that petite should  wear a V-neckline instead to elongate your frame and give an illusion of a longer silhoutte, I brush off the rule and look who's wearing high necklines now :). The thing I like about it's sleeveless style is my arms feel less bulky and tight when I put on a much thicker coat. And since our weather has been acting all bipolar on us, layering and losing the layers during the day is an option for me lately. There is no turning back, weather will definitely get cold and harsh all day long & these sweater top will come real handy.  What'cha think?

Are you a fan of turtlenecks/mocknecks style too? 

Have a great Monday everyone. 

Thank you from the heart.

Cape town

Hi everyone. I can't believe we are in November already. Days come by and go so fast and it feels like I can't keep up. I adore cape. I don't like any drama in my life but a drama and an extra oomph a cape can give to any ensemble is way better and acceptable for me. Don't you think?

 Then there she is, the drama that I was looking for. 

To cape or not to cape?

Thank you from the heart.
