Long Faux Fur Coat kinda Day. When in the middle of Winter and you want to wear something that gives comfort and style this is it! I love wearing coats in the Winter because it gives me warmth but there is always something special wearing a long faux fur coat.

I feel like I am always walking in a runway that is truly a model material and at the same time being comfortable. When we were doing a photo shoot of this outfit, it was really freezing outside and this coat really gives me the heat that is needed.

I feel like a have a huge blanket and I am home feeling comfy all the way and at the same time looking so classy walking the streets of Old Town Alexandria. I feel like I look expensive, do you agree? This is perfect to a city girl style specially when you live in the big City. I am just imagining things right now like as if I am also in NYC strolling wearing this coat.

Last year I have posted a similar style here. This one is longer but I like the new ones better special the cut of this one. This one looks more edgy and this trend I love that it keeps coming back and I do not want it to go.

I have linked up different price points here, go check them out. Thank you for stopping by. What are other styles do you want me to cover here on the blog so I can better serve y’all I love bringing you guys want you love.

What my $100 can buy at H&M

What my $100 can buy at H&M

SHOP THE POST:

SWEATER/ JEANS/ SHOES/ BAG

I have been wanting to do a blog post about different stores and see what I can buy with my $100 on them. I will start of with the stores that I already shop. If y’all know me one of my go to store is H&M and last year that have announced that they change their sizing to cater to US sizes. I used to be medium but with the new sizing I am now small. To me it is now similar to Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic.

So now let me talk about this outfit that I came up with. So these items total including the shipping and handling came about to $96 I still have $4 to buy me a scrunchie or something. This style I can wear now and into Spring, to make this appropriate for Winter is just to add one of the jackets or coats you already have in your closet.

This is a very chic look to start of the New Year and you can never go out of style with black and polka dots. I am thinking of wearing this oversized white long puffer coat. I think this will really look good put together.

I am actually looking for one to myself but the one I was eyeing on at Boohoo, they don’t have my size anymore. Check out the long puffer coat I posted here last year. You might want to add this to your wardrobe.

Also if you’d be so kind to let me know in the comment section what you want to see on my blog this year. I am thinking of putting up all the workout wear next week that are on sale. Thank you all so much for stopping by. Happy New Year again!

Welcoming New Year 2020

Welcoming New Year 2020

Happy New Year 2020! It was such a fun New Year’s Eve celebration at home. We haven’t welcomed the New Year at our house in the last 5 years. We have 10 family friends and we have a tradition of spending it at one of each houses so we do rotations every year. We also just started a tradition like 3 years ago of having one family sponsor every family a t-shirt for everybody and using the lucky color of the year and also putting our last names on it.

So now that I have shared how we welcome every New Year. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself again in case you are new to my blog. Hi, my name is Christianne and I am a mom of 3. I’m originally from the Philippines and now living here in the US with my husband and our 3 lovely children with our dog mojo.

My goal this year is to be able to provide y’all an ever green content you can surely use in your everyday life be it for fashion (personal style) which I usually share the most, lifestyle, family and travel. I want to be a good resource person for all those topics I mentioned. Also, I am not usually sharing a lot of family pictures but recently since I became pregnant and have Andi now. The whole family became ok posting in pictures with me. I used to like beg them to have a decent photos that is why you rarely see them on my blog.

I also wanna inspire a lot of mamas out there. I always get this question how I can manage having a full time day job, this part time blog and be a mom of three. I think I have posted this topic before but will get into details in the next few episodes of my blog. Also check out my previous post on how I prepared for the NYE party.

Thank you all so much for your continued support to my blog. Once again, Happy New Year!

Simplychristianne 2019 Year in Review

This is my last blog post for this year. Doing reflections on how this year was for my blog and how I have been to y’all. I know I fell short this year since I became pregnant I know I slacked so much. I lost my consistency in posting on my blog and also the ever green content that I should have been sharing with all of you.

This year started not so good as I was still recovering from the lost of my dad back in November last year. Then a month after that I found out I was pregnant and had morning sickness and that really threw me off on my routine. I really lost myself this year and was just posting a lot of fluff here and there just to have something to post. I am just being with y’all. I did give something good for the pregnant ladies like me back then.

This 2020 I have a lot of goals for myself and my blog. I will do my best for y’all to be the best resource for all the good deals for fashion, lifestyle, motherhood and travel content I may have that I know will be beneficial for everyone.

Here are some of the Highlights I have this year… Not so much though It was pretty much about my pregnancy…. So thankful to have baby Andi. I was really thinking I was done when I had Aidan. I only wanted two if I have a boy and a girl already but hubby convinced me good and so thankful for that.

February was the month I announced here that I was pregnant here

Simplychristianne 2019 Year in Review

March was my gender reveal, found out we were having a girl….

April to August just pretty much sharing a lot of pregnancy updates and a lot of maternity outfit inspirations.

and then August I popped Andi out…

I will make sure this coming 2020 y’all will find a lot of ever green content from me. Thank y’all for sticking out with me. See you next year!

These styles will surely make your New Year start with glam. The Jumpsuit among all of these is my favorite. I am a sucker for jumpsuits even though it is a chore when you need to use the restroom. The details on this jumpsuit is so pretty specially the sleeves and is also very comfy for Winter.

The second look is the sequin dress. This is another very easy style for all the ladies that loves to wear dress like me. You are one and done as I always say. I am wearing a pretty generic shoes on all of them which is my go to the ankle strap shoes. I believe every lady should own a pair in different color like black and beige. You can always pair them with everything!

Last but not the least, to a more chic and casual style is this sequin top. I just threw in a pair of black jeans and the ankle strap heels and viola! I am party ready. This is for all the ladies who doesn’t like dress and jumpsuits that much. Check out below for other sequin top options.

Our First Christmas Card

Our First Christmas Card

SHOP OUR LOOKS HERE:

Our First Christmas Card

Why did I call this our First Christmas Card? Every year since I started blogging. It became a tradition that we dress up and we pick a spot in the house for photo shoot. But I never make it into a Christmas card. It has always been a digital copy only that I use on my personal Facebook to greet our family and friends. This year , since we are now a family of 5 plus Mojo our dog so 6. I decided we can do this every year then.

I wanted to post the picture of the finish product of the Christmas card but it did not arrive on the expected delivery date. It actually got shipped on the supposed to be date of delivery. So I will update this post once I receive them so I can show them all to you.

As for the theme, I just thought of a plaid party for us since all my kids already own it. My husband and I plus my in laws just went to the thrift store and got ours from there.

Also, I though about Adi and I wearing cowboy boots and since we have this cabin like part of the house. I set it up like this so it will be more looking like our theme. Kinda like a farm house and I just added all these Christmas decorations like the Little Christmas tree, galvanized buckets.

How about you? Do you always do Christmas cards or no? Do you have any family traditions that you do every year? Also in case you did not see the last year’s family photo… it is here.

Thank you so much and y’all have a wonderful week ahead.
