Leopard Print Dress and Knee High Boots is the trend everyone is crazy about and here is my version of it for this Fall season. I have posted different leopard print styles from the past year like leopard jacket,leopard coat and cardigan.

This print is so classic that it never go out of style and just keeps evolving in different ways to wear it from bags, shoes, headbands and a lot more.

As for the knee high boots, it is making its way to the trend as the over the knee trend is being overpowered by it. This boots is just right because it is in between of the ankle boots and over the knees. I have been looking for a good quality one and I even visited my local DSW store just so I can get to feel and try it.

There are still some things that we want to touch and try before we buy just like a good pair of jeans for me. So this knee high Franco Sarto boots is so comfy, the heel height is just right. If you were watching my instastories. I was looking into three different boots and the other two were Steve Madden. Even though this Franco Sarto is more expensive than the other two, I still chose it because I know I will be wearing it more as the color so is so versatile.

How about you guys? Does this print also makes you love it more this season, how about the python prints?

Let me know your thoughts and thank you for stopping by. See you again on the next blog post.

One of my favorite here is the grey knit sweater dress with tie belt and also trendy leopard print dress. I love how it was worn with white mid calf boots. I would also love to wear these with a coat like this and this when comes Winter and the temp really dropped so much and add knee length or over the knee boots.

I remember when I was still living in the Philippines. I used to imagine myself wearing them. I love it that I live in a four seasons state and be able to wear beautiful styles like these. This is also considered as a fall basic just make sure that the style is not so trendy. The timeless piece here is the striped one and the belted one on the left upper right.

Favorite Fall Booties

Favorite Fall Booties

SHOP THE POST:

ONE/ TWO/ THREE/ FOUR/ FIVE/ SIX/ SEVEN/ EIGHT

Favorite Fall Booties in different styles are here again to add life to your outfit that will give you comfort and warmth. I have put up all these different styles for y’all to keep inspired.

My personal favorite here is number two because of the leather material. It goes well with every outfit and also number six and eight styles. I own booties in snake skin and I guess I am gonna have to get me the leopard print since I am loving that trend. I do have leopard print in flats which I am loving the most.

The open toe booties is perfect too specially when the weather is just chilly and adding a cardigan to finish the look. Suede material is also one of the styles that are really a fall staple and will also go well with almost all the outfit.

If you are looking for something that will make you look tall. Always go for something with heels and is pointed toe. I also believe the square toe is trying to come back this season.

If we can just get all these items in our cart right? But if you are on a budget, I suggest, go for the basic that are timeless and will never go out of style. You can wear it for a long time and you can just add a new style next season. Check my past post here about this timeless booties if you are on the hunt. I have been wearing it each Fall season and it never goes out of style.

How about you? What is your favorite from here? Let me know from your comments below. And as always, thank you for stopping by. See you again on the next blog post and will be talking about a lot of Fall fashion and some home decors….

Today here in Maryland, it is a little chilly. As we are approaching the official start of Fall. I don’t know about you but I can already feel its presence with the changing colors of the leaves and the temp is cooling down. But I am loving it, it is not too cold or too hot. All we need is some chic and cozy sweater just like the ones I have put up on here for your guide to buying your sweater cardigan for this season.

There are a lot of beautiful options for all of us depending on the budget and style we are looking for. So I created this save vs splurge for all of you to choose from.

Through the years I have collected so many sweater cardigans and I have it on different length. I do love me a long cardigan and this year I am rooting on things with Fall colors like, tan, mustard and burgundy. I know I have completed all the basic colors and now I am expanding my options and adding some fun prints and colors that I do recommend you have in your closet.

They can easily add life to your basic shirt and jeans style. Speaking of Fall, what do you love about it or the things you like doing every Fall. Check out all the fun Fall activities we do here.

What I wanna do this Fall is go up north towards New England and see how beautiful it is up there when the leaves start changing colors. I heard they are really beautiful and wanted to see for myself. And checked into their cabins as our Fall getaway with the family.

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again next time.

What I Would Wear at NYFW 2019. Sporting this Leopard print midi dress as we started heading into Fall with the temps starting to drop a bit. I also noticed that the leaves are starting to change colors too.

Going back to this look. I am really working on being able to attend NYFW. Every fashion blogger like me dreams of going to one. I wanna be able to see and feel what it is like attending. I know it is tiring but it is also worth it. Since Leopard print is still on trend. This dress is something I would wear and I was also thinking of adding a Black boots at any height and wearing a wool hat and when the weather gets cold I will add on a leather jacket.

This look can also be worn as an office wear. If your company is not strict and allows you to wear anything. I know some offices still prefer wearing business casual and wearing a leopard print will raise your supervisors eyebrows.

I am hoping next year I can attend the NYFW and I will definitely dress up there. Have you been to one? What do you think about the leopard print style? Is it still a yay or nay for you? Check out this leopard print bomber jacket I wore last year and also the coat here.

Thank you so much and I hope I was able to inspire you with this look and again, thank you so much for stopping by and see you again next week.

Also I can add a denim jacket, leather jacket and a wool hat. You can pretty much do it to all these dresses I have covered here.

Also, pay attention to the once that are on sale like this first and last dress here. That is also the reason why I posted this today on Labor Day! It is all about the sales baby.

MINKPINK ROMPER HERE IS THE DRESS VERSION

WHITE SHOES SIMILAR HERE

TARGET STRAW HAT

CROCHET BAG

Chic Romper for a Picnic Outfit, loving this print that it makes me smile even though I know Summer is coming close to an end. I also love that this romper has a room for my midsection as I still have a little bit of postpartum belly. There is a plenty of space for me to move around, if you know me. I love me some rompers and jumpsuits. Even though it takes a little of my time when using the bathroom. But hey, we don’t go to that bathroom very often i=so for me it is not a big deal.

Also, as I have mention above, this romper has a mini dress version and it is actually cheaper than getting the romper.This is a perfect look and you can always transition this style into fall by wearing a Fall hat, a long cardigan and an ankle boots.

Baby Andi will be 3 weeks tomorrow and we are savoring the nice weather and before back to school for the kids while we still can. I kinda miss this Summer because I was very pregnant, not complaining just saying. We kinda plan it like this anyway. I always want to have Spring or Summer babies so they are still good with the school cut off with the age.

How about you guys, what are your last few days of Summer look like. Any last minute Summer getaway before the school starts, check out this post for a beach must have or any Labor Day weekend getaway? I should’ve named this outfit Labor Day weekend Look.

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again on the next Blog post. My Blog post schedule is still erratic, please bear with this new mama again 🙂

The pictures above is the after and I will show the link on the post I did last year for the before photos and how it looked like last time.

I did not do any major changes but having this accent chair and added these hat collection on the wall made a huge difference. It was easy to hang on the wall, I used these command strip hooks so I won’t ruin our wall.

I also added the white shoe rack because I accumulated more shoes this time and needed extra shoe rack for them. I am now on the hunt to find a new chair for my desk here. I also added these alumitiles on the wall for my inspiration when I am creating content.

So now let me show you the link to the first post on my closet/office here to see the before and be the judge on how it turned out with the added update. What do you think of my interior designing skills here. Did you like what I added to my closet/office to make it more chic and lovelier to the eye. The new look makes me stay here longer and the accent chair I can use to sit on now that I have baby Andi. We can both hangout here while I am breastfeeding her.

Also stay tuned to the post for tomorrow for breastfeeding. Calling all the mommies and mom-to-be to check out that post.

First Postpartum Style

First Postpartum Style

SHOP THE LOOK:

NORDSTROM RACK MIDI DRESS

GIGI NEW YORK BUCKET BAG c/o

STEVE MADDEN SANDALS (OLD) SIMILAR HERE

First Postpartum Style in a non maternity dress and trying out how it looks like with the post baby belly and how I made it work. It has always been a struggle for me to look and feel good after having a baby. I am not gifted with a body who only grows their belly and maintain the size of the other body parts. In this pregnancy, I gained about 37 lbs so I know my body really changed a lot and I gained so many inches on all of my extremities and also still have that post baby belly.

So I got this dress here before I gave birth hoping it will fit good. I tried it on and honestly it really did not zip good at the back. This dress is not stretchy at all so I did not have a room for the excess inches as I ordered my usual medium size.

But I was able to make it work by adding a safety pin at the back. I will still keep this dress as I know in few weeks time my belly will shrink and will be able to wear this good. Another reason why I am keeping this is the color is perfect for a Fall dress. We are closely transitioning to Fall in few weeks time so I made sure I am investing in something I can wear longer.

So for all the mamas out there like me who struggle with post baby belly. You are not alone and it is normal to have them. Let us all give our body time to recover as we carry our precious baby for 9 months and it was not a joke. I also understand we wanted to look and feel good. We can all make it work right? I also do miss my pregnant belly sometimes as I thought about this dress I posted here.

I hope I was able to give some inspiration to all of you here. Thank you for stopping by. I know I have been MIA for a while doing blog post as being a Full time employee by day and being a mom of 3 and wife takes a lot of my time so trying to insert some time to make this blog post. I still want to keep this other passion of mine.

See you again next time.
