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.

NORDSTROM RACK SANDALS

There are so many ways to transition your Summer dresses into Fall dresses. Take it from me, who loves wearing dresses all Summer long. The idea is to make your dresses work for Fall without feeling cold and still looking great.

The concept is to add all the Fall essentials you already own and is readily available in your closet. With this dress I could wear it over the knee boots, ankle boots or just plain flat shoes. 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.

Chic Romper for a Picnic Outfit

August 28, 2019 No Comments

SHOP THE LOOK:

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 🙂

As promised, here is the Update on My Closet/Office which was on instastory last week and many of you responded yes to cover this on a blog post, so here is the before and after. 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.

Thank you so much for stopping and see you tomorrow here.

First Postpartum Style

August 16, 2019 No Comments

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.

35 Weeks Bumpdate

SHOP THE LOOK:

SUSANA MONACO NAVY MAXI DRESS SIMILAR HERE

AMAZON OVERSIZED FLORAL EARRINGS

STEVE MADDEN WHITE SANDALS (OLD) SIMILAR HERE

O BAG HANDBAG (bought in Italy 2017) SIMILAR HERE

Hello everyone! I decided to give a bumpdate for all those new followers and for those who have been following all along. I am currently resting in bed as I was not able to report to work today. Decided to relax because I have been having contractions lately just like yesterday. After church when we were on our way for brunch at the restaurant. I started feeling hard contractions and they were 5 mins apart and it really is pulling on my back and it hurts. It only lasted for close to an hour as it stopped as soon as we got home and I was able to lay in bed. I must be tired I guess because I did some house cleaning earlier in the morning.

Mt thought was maybe baby Andi is getting so excited because she already had 3 baby showers and pretty much all she needs are here. But that is the last thing I want. I want her to be born healthy and reach her full term at birth just like my other two babies. That is why I decided to take another day off because being a Physical therapist as my day job can be exhausting.

I am 5 weeks close to my due date or let us say 3 weeks if she decides to come out on 38 weeks which is also considered full term. We all cannot wait to see her and give her all the love that she deserves. I do have a lot of pregnancy problems.. like my varicose veins coming out (the reason behind me wearing a lot of maxi dresses), back aches, sleepless nights. I can still endure all of them, I just want her to be safe and healthy when she comes out. I just want to air this to all pregnant mommas. We all know that the struggle is real and it is truly a hard work on our part but it is all worth it and very rewarding, I am also happy to have a very supportive husband, kids, family and d=friends around me. I wouldn’t be able to do this on my own. I salute all the single moms out there!

All we can do now is stay calm and keep praying right? Only God knows what is in store for us. Also to read about my two other bumpdates here and here.

I am writing this not to scare anybody who is trying to get pregnant but spread awareness on pregnancy and what it is all about. If pregnancy is that bad. How in the world we are over populated right? lol! kidding aside, being pregnant and becoming a mother is the most wonderful job we can have in the world. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Thank you for stopping by!

Baby Shower for Our Andi

WALMART BAR CART

This baby shower was not a surprise so the set up was at our house and my girlfriend Grace organized it for us. We both coordinated on what we wanted to do and it came out good.

We have been looking at a lot of pinterest baby shower ideas and we even looked at youtube on how to do this balloon garland. My kids also helped us out with the balloons set up. This was the highlight of all the decor.

As you can see here, we all had fun. We talked and laughed about a lot of mommy life. We even had an impromptu tea time after I cut the cake. My friend Grace bought the vake from Stellas Bakeshop in Rockville, MD. I have been loving this their cakes. So if you happen to live around there, you might want to visit, highly recommended.

Grace had games lined up but because we really had fun catching up with each other. We forgot about it, I even forgot to give them the party favors.

As for the gifts, I got a lot of items I put up on the Walmart Baby Registry I set up last week.

Thank you for stopping by and I wish you all to have a wonderful week ahead.
