SHOP THE POST:

I don’t normally do business casual as I am mostly in scrub suits, but if I do, this is my kind of Business Casual Outfit. Found this cute silk camisole and just paired it with this comfy denim jeans from Abercrombie and added this super chic laced up sandals. Can also be worn after work for a happy hour.

Here is another one that is more conservative that the first one as I added the scalloped blazer that is super chic from Express! This I will wear for those important meetings that needed to be accomplished.

and below are some of my other outfit inspirations for you guys starting with this….

If you are into Strong classic wear to work look then this is for you. This outfit shows that you are a go getter and you also show some of your feminine side by those shoes. These pieces you can wear all year round as I mention they are classic and timeless styles.

On this look you are more on the trendy styles. The jumpsuit gives all that comfort and chicness you need to work throughout the day in the office and that blazer gives that boss babe finish! I added 2 styles of shoes here depending on your personality if you are more on the classic style or the trendy gal since this braided sandals are so in right now.

Family Day Trip St. Michael’s Island

July 28, 2021 No Comments

A Family Day trip at St. Michael’s Island was needed, Since the pandemic started we have been visiting nearby small towns just to see what they have to offer. We have been living in Maryland for 13 years now and we are still yet to explore all its beauty so let me introduce to you this another must see place in Maryland.

SHOP MY OUTFIT:

DRESS/ SANDALS/ BAG

THINGS TO DO:

VISIT THE CHESAPEAKE BAY MARITIME MUSEUM

Family Day Trip St. Michael's Island — At the Maritime Museum

We started checking out their Maritime Museum were they showcased all the boats in the marina, how they make them, boats for crabbing, also the history of the town..

Checking out all the different ducks around the Chesapeake Bay

You can also explore the town biking and they have these bike rentals for you. This just reminded me of our recent trip to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. You can find these bikes at the Maritime Museum. It is a big area with clustered museums inside from how to build a boat and all other important history of the time. Surrounding it is the Marina and all those beautiful Yacht and Boat and they also offer boat trips that are around 45 mins long. We were suppose to do it but it was so hot that day that we will not survive it with the kids starting to feel tired.

2. STAY AT THE INNS – AIDA VICTORIANA INN

Check them out if you wanna stay in the island. We stayed outside the island near Annapolis as we also wanted to explore Annapolis after.

3. EAT CRABS! We ate at the claw, it is by the Marina and you can dine indoors and outdoors. You will love the view as it is next to the water and of course your Maryland experience is not complete without eating crabs! We ate the the CRAB CLAW, try reserving if you want to come. They were short staffed that day as most places nowadays due to pandemic just to be sure you get accommodated.

There were a lot of restaurants around so if you do not eat crabs nothing to worry about.

4. EXPLORE THEIR SHOPS

Here are some of the shops around the town were you can find cute items, memorabilias..

5. WINERY

In case you did not know, they have brewery and winery around so you can also add that to your list. So if you are looking for something new to explore.. this is the place for you.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I was able to give you guidance on this trip if you are planning to visit.

DC Blogger Brunch

July 21, 2021 No Comments

SHOP THE POST:

So glad to meet with the other DC blogger in the fancy spot for a DC blogger brunch. Here I will be sharing some of the photos captured as we get to know each other. It was so nice to finally meet all your internet friends in person. Get to connect with other like minded ladies like me. It was Zoha Memari from the blog the blog www.zohamemari.com that organized this and so glad she did. The theme is Summer dresses so here we are dressed up for the occasion in what we do best as fashion bloggers.

Let’s go over my outfit here. This was my first time getting an outfit from Petal and pup and glad I did because they have the cutest dresses. Good quality, love the color and finally they launch here in the US so the shipping will be faster this time unlike when I ordered the dress and it came from Australia. As you can see on the details love the floral pattern and the color combination looks refreshing and very Summery and also can get away wearing in the fall and Spring with booties on. I got a lot of compliments from this wearing this dress. Good news, it is back in stock here!

Cheers to all these amazing ladies so if you live in the area, go give them a follow from their IG handles starting from the Left @espressofied @trendyintartan @spoonfuloftrish @zohamemari @ddomestici @racfashionx @basicbalance @Veronica_j @sayheydc if you are in fashion and lifestyle.

And now let me go over the place which is The Pembroke located at 1500 New Hampshire Ave NW, Washington, DC 22036, unfortunately they only open Saturdays and Sundays during this pandemic. They serve good food and the ambiance is perfect a lot of natural lighting. They also have an outdoor spot but I was not able to take a photo of it though, such an instagrammable place. I ordered a mimosa which is a no brainer for a brunch drinks but they served the peach Bellini and most of the blogger friends highly recommend, I will surely get it next time! I ordered hash brown since I was starving already and it was delicious and they gave us French toast and it was the bomb!!! I am giving them a 5 star for the food and drinks.

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day! Also for other brunch outfit ideas check this post here and here.

July 19, 2021 No Comments

SHOP THE POST:

When the Summer heat is here and you are on vacation, you just wanna be comfy and at the same time cool. So when life gives you lemons… wear it! This is how I styled my mom shorts adding these cute lemon print bra top! Just by looking at those prints.. it already looks refreshing to the eyes, plus with the white denim shorts, they are just the perfect Summer color combo. This look can be worn when you are on vacation be it in a beach or at the hotel resort lounging by the pool sipping your favorite cold drinks!

High waisted shorts have always been my go to lately, it hides the midsection and it makes my torso look longer making slimmer and taller. Another option is not just white but also a light blue shorts. It is a classic color that can be worn with anything!

How about some Bermuda shorts, for longer length for the thighs. I just adore all the mom jean shorts we have in the market right now. They are all so chic and comfy at the same time. I am so happy that the high rise trend is here top stay for good! And just by adding a simple graphic tee with it you already have an effortless look.

I love that we have so many options now for different body types. So many options to choose from these days. We are now not limited to what we can wear. We have a lot of pieces to choose from.

The bra top and mom shorts here, both I am wearing size small and they are both true to size. Topping it with my current obsession which is the straw bag! and these cute white scrappy sandals. This I must say will be the cutest and comfiest style you can be.

If you are looking into the details here, this outfit still gives you all the chicness you need this season when sometimes there is an extreme heat. Below are the other denim mom shorts I found that are awesome and also for their price points!

The white shorts are just the loveliest style you can pair on any color top you can have. They will be an awesome perfect pair to wear pretty much any wear. You can wear these shorts anywhere even with just a simple T-shirt if you are just running some errands or a tank top. You can tuck them in to these shorts and they will be the comfiest style that you can wear.

And how cute are those sandals? You can never go wrong wearing flat sandals and adding those cute straps made it even the cutest style you can possibly wear! Also check out this post if you are in the hunt for some cute maxi dress if you are not into shorts

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week ahead! I hope I was able to give inspiration to other who also wants to hide their belly if you re feeling bloated like me.

Two Ways to Wear Kimono Cardigan

July 14, 2021 No Comments

Happy Tuesday! Sharing two ways to wear Kimono Cardigan. Maximizing the chicness of this kimono in there beach as a coverup and a cardigan for a Summer casual style.

Currently on vacation time right now and just wanna share some outfits I wore for this trip. So if you have been following me on instagram, you know we are here in South Carolina a family trip. So I know we will not be just going to the beach but will also stroll around the island here so I made sure to make use of this kimono cardigan.

SHOP THE POST:

Worn as a Cardigan over my Summer casual look, this sheer and light weight cardigan is perfect to upgrade a simple look. Loving also the color of it for Summer with its vibrant hues. I am loving a lot of vibrant colors and as I noticed my finger have a neon pink for nail polish. My simple white tank and denim shorts became lively with an added touch of this pretty kimono cardigan.

SHOP THE POST:

Now wearing it for what it is really intended to as a beach coverup. I created a reel showcasing how it is walking towards the beach so you can visualize what it looks like wearing over your swimsuit. I was wearing a bright orange bikini and thought that this kimono will compliment it and it did as you can see here. It is the perfect combination and another vibrant style to have on the beach. The color orange which I really do not appreciate that much did not disappoint and the family approves it to. And this kimono wearing over it made it even better!

So this kimono cardigan I must say is a good buy! It is only $22 and material is good, light weight the color compliments mostly anything you pair with it. First time posting a cardigan for Summer as I always share Fall cardigan like this.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you find this post helpful, share it pin it or bookmark it.

I really do not have any plans myself as of now as we will be celebrating with friends a day before. but if we do, here are the things we will definitely use if it will just be us in the backyard. I was actually thinking of going to the pool that day so I will be posting some outfit ideas for you as well for this event.

I just put together some snack tray here mostly healthy stuff and some candies for the kids to enjoy. Barbeque is also another option and some salad bar to add for the adults attending. Drinks will surely be some soda, water and some alcohol to complete. Another idea if it will be a backyard party is to add an outdoor movie night. Just have a prijector and a screen and you are all set. So stay tuned for the 4th of July outfits I will put together.
