These are non maternity swimsuits but I will make a post for that if you are interested in some maternity swimsuits. I would love to share some cute ones for the expecting mom like me.

This Summer I will probably be by the pool mostly as I cannot be as far away travelling. It will be the start of my third trimester next week and It means I am getting closer to my due date.

What we were thinking are just quick trips to the Water Park so the kids can enjoy this Summer, Or the nearest beach here in our area. I was wondering if we can still do babymoon. I really have no plans, so if you have some ideas you want to share. I would love to hear them out.

Honestly, What I miss was going again on a Family Cruise like last years. Check out here the reasons why you should go on a Family cruise.

Thank you so much for Stopping by and have a wonderful week ahead!

Maternity Work Wear Style File

SHOP THE LOOK:

AMAZON SERAPHINE DRESS

TARGET SANDALS

ZAC POSEN HANDBAG (OLD)

Being pregnant can be uncomfortable specially when your belly gets big and this dresses will help you pull through. I wish I can do this in real life.. You might be wondering why I said this. If you you just started following me. You probably don’t know that I work as a Physical Therapist during the day. It means wearing scrub suit is my most comfortable outfit.

If I will work in a typical office setting. These are the dresses I would wear my whole pregnancy. I know I will be able to move freely with them without sacrificing comfort and style. As I always mention this on most of my outfit post. You should be able to do both when styling your outfit.

I can pair it with flats, heeled sandals and so many more. I can add blazer, a coat if the weather gets chilly or if your office is in full blast AC. And if you don’t know me, I have all the excuses to wear dresses. Couldn’t wear much of them during the cold seasons. So expect more dresses style inspiration to come your way.

Stay tuned for more maternity style and update in the upcoming weeks as my tummy gets bigger. I am still on my second trimester but I already feel that my tummy is too big for 21 weeks. I am so scared for what my belly will look like on the third trimester. But also excited that it makes it closer to meeting my baby girl soon.

Thank you once again for stopping by and see you again on the next blog post. Follow me on this pregnancy journey and if you may notice I have been posting a lot more personal stuff for all of you to get to know me.

Happy Monday! Do you feel tired of having 1 hour less sleep? Let us think of it this way, it means we will have more days and the sign that Spring is on its way. A lot of outdoor things we can do and a lot flowers and trees coming back to life. Blushing for Spring with a Wrap Top here is my game plan. Simply chic look you can pull through everyday. If the temp drops just don’t forget to add a light trench coat or a light denim jacket to top it off.

This look is easy to recreate and I must say a classy basic. Any simply top combined with a designer handbag and a chic pumps already elevated the look to simple to chic. Need not to say more but Like what I have mentioned before that designer handbags are a good investment. I always save money for them because you know they are expensive but it is really worth having.

Did you like this look? Is there any outfit or look you want me to show here on the blog that are achievable that you want me to show here. Let me know on the comments below.

Have a beautiful week ahead and you know warmer days are coming and flowers started blooming.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again on my next blog post.

Entry Way Re-decorated

Hello and good morning my dear friends! How is your week going so far. Today I will be sharing a part of my home to you which my husband and I re-decorated. When we bought the house of course it has a different look. The previous owner also have their own style which is not same as ours. So when we do have a budget a budget. We change it by means of re-painting or adding some wall stickers.

BEFORENOV_6908 NOV_7184

As you can see on the before pictures. The wall in our entry way area has floral wall paper and we just changed it using this gray wall paper we got from target, we also like this and this. They are very chic, affordable and very easy to use. It is just like a big sticker that you have to peel the white part and just stick it to the wall, that simple. It has to be 2 person to put them , one will be putting on the sticker while the other one peels the white part and hold it until you are at the end.

We took off the floral candle holder wall decor and replaced it with this very lovely wall art also from Target. The decorative objects we got from Home goods. I wanted them to be white as it adds contrast to the accent table. I also love this white elephant and  this white plant, we added faux floral to make it look very lovely, I would also like to get this  faux flower in a vase. I also added some books to add more accent.

AFTERNOV_1464 NOV_1463 NOV_1466

We also changed the lighting and we got this semi flush mount light we got from Home depot and also used LED for energy efficiency.   What do you think about the new look?  Did it look chic and stylish?

I hope I was able to give home inspiration and home re-decorating ideas to you. Our next project is to change the Lighting in our dining room to a modern style like what we added here.

May all of you have a wonderful day and Thank you for stopping by and for all your sweet comments.

DETAILS: TOP AND BOTTOM – GAP SIMILAR TOP HERE AMD BOTTOM HERE/ SHOES – NIKE (SIMILAR STYLE HERE)

Happy Friday! Today, I will start back to my workout routine as I have slacked during the holidays. It was really hard for me to keep up with my daily workout routine. As I was planning on packing things for our recent family vacation. And all the food that was there during the festivities.

This day, moving forward and as my goal for this year. I will be more active than I was last year. I must say that 2015 was really a great year for me being somewhat consistent with working out. Again, I will use my nike training App and S health from my android phone. I want to be toned and look very fit. Not only by exercising but also eating the right food and the right amount. Being fit makes me feel good. And I know that I am becoming a good example to my children as sometimes they will follow my workout routines, It becomes our bonding.

And to all the mommies like me. You know you also have to take care of you as how you take care of the whole family.

Let’s workout together and be fit! I know it is hard but all we can do is start.

Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments. Have a great weekend and if you live in the East coast like me. Be safe and stay warm.

Simply,

Christianne
