Stylishly Strolling Republic of San Marino which is a microstate sorrounded by Italy. It was foggy and so a Long black wool coat is a must. If you have been following me on instagram. You know then that we were in Italy for a week for my mother in law’s birthday celebration. Why there? Because everyone on her family migrated there long time ago so it is easier to gather everybody when over there.

Why San Marino? We were supposed to visit Lake Como and Lugano in Switzerland as a side trip but they had a massive thunderstorm which cost a mass destruction to the path to those places. And Republic of San Marino is an independent state were you can get your passport stamped for 5 euros. We went to the top were their Castle is located and mind you, shopping here is tax free. It was only 2 hours drive from Modena were we were staying.

Since it was drizzling when we left and a little chilly, I was like might as well dressed up stylishly and put on the coat I got from a thrift store for $12. It did not look like it was from a thrift store right? I also had the sweater dress which was very appropriate for the weather and to top the look was the belt bag and red beret. I actually kinda felt like a Parisian wearing this style.

The belt bag and the shoes were from Stradivarius, it was a Spanish brand like Mango and Zara. I wish we have them here in the US.

It was a nice stroll because we were with family and it was a different place and it felt like we were in a different dimension because of the foggy castle and everybody speaks a different language which was Italian of course. The place reminded me of Old Quebec in Canada.

I hope you liked this post and I ma here to give you some places to see that you don’t usually see or here from instagram or anybody. So glad to have family who lives in Italy because they know some places to see.

Happy Friday and thank you for stopping by.

KATE SPADE CROSS BODY BAG SIMILAR HERE

Uplevel your Leopard Print Style Game with these different color and print size to make you not look like everybody else right now. When I saw this cardigan, it was love at firs sight because it is not the typical leopard print black and brown color. I said to myself I can pull this off and add a pop of something. So I thought about my old Kate Spade orange cross body bag, that is I how this look is created.

As for the cardigan, I really love the material and I must say you really get what you pay for and since the animal print pretty much always come back around this time of the year. I can consider this a timeless piece to keep in your wardrobe. You can pretty much wear anything with this. Also it is so cozy and gives you warmth during the cool months. Always look for something that can give you both comfort and style right?

I was also thinking of wearing an Over the knee boots here as it will definitely go well together. This is a perfect Fall everyday casual. Something that is so simple but will make you look very put together.

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again next week. Make sure to follow along our Italian adventure. We were lucky to be able to go back again this year as we will give my mother in law a surprise birthday visit. I did not wanna announce it ahead of time so nobody gets a hint.

It was surprisingly super comfy and I really love the bow at the back, It brings out the girly girl in me. I will surely have this outfit on repeat!

Fun Fall Activities We Love to do

October 22, 2018 No Comments

Fun Fall Activities We Love to do here in Virginia and Maryland. Some of the items we have yet to try and if you do let us know.

1. PUMPKIN PATCH

This is going to be first on our list. We always enjoy it because they have a lot of things to do for the whole family here. This time the farm that we usually go to added some new things to do. They have those kernel corns with tractors and we know how Aidan love those things so he stayed there for a good while. Mini petting zoo, moon bounce, corn maze, bowling, face painting, play ground, pedal kart and big slides were the top on our list of things to do. And of course taking a picture with the pumpkins 🙂

ASTR CARDIGAN

CAPE ROBBIN BOOTIES

2. APPLE PICKING

That was the first fun experience we had when we moved here in the USA from the Philippines and we got to do it in Upstate New York. So now, we are trying to make it a tradition as we found Baugher’s Orchard in Westminster, Maryland and they have the best apples by far and before you pick they educate you what different kind of apples they have so you just don’t pick something and in the end not liking it.

3. FRIGHT FEST

We just started doing this last year and it was fun, since we have season pass for Sixflags. We get to go as much as we can. They have spooky shows and the whole them park is decorated with Halloween stuff. The rides have the Halloween lights and it was so cool.

4. PICNIC AND VIEW AT THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY

5. FALL FESTIVALS

We have yet to try this and I heard it is fun were they have all cool things to do in the Fall.

6. VISITING THE WINERIES

We have wineries around the area and also another thing we have yet to try. My husband and I love wine and this is something that I know we will truly enjoy but we have to research for places that is good for families.

FIFTH LABEL WRAP DRESS

MANGO BAG (OLD) SIMILAR HERE

KAREN WALKER SUNNIES

Fall Dress and Over the Knee Boots Combo is another style you can pull in this season and considered a chic Fall casual style. It was a breezy day during this photo shoot and I am really loving it because I can feel the flow and softness of the dress. IT was just a perfect moment but was hard at the same time to maintain my hair in one place.

For this look, the print and color of the dress is something you would want in a Fall dress, it is everything! I was debating if I should be wearing a black Over the knee boots instead of brown but as you can see which one I chose. It complimented the dress more with the brown color and it was perfectly paired with the bag. This is one outfit that is very easy to style and you’ll be done in few minutes but you look fully made up already. It is always such a good feeling when you look like that.

This is something I will wear for some Fall cocktail events or Happy hour. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend.

As a fashion/style blogger. We want to portray what we really are passionate about. I was thinking of a Halloween costume that will not take up to much time to work on and something that I already own. Being me, I though about Audrey Hepburn look from her movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I just adore how classy the look is and also my love for a little black dress. As you can see I did not have all the required accessories to complete the look here as I was missing a mini tiara, pearl necklace and and the long cigarette holder which you can buy in a bundle here.

This can also be a DIY costume as most of the time you may have these items handy with you at home right. I just forgot to pack them when I was preparing this look for my photo shoot.

What do you think? Were I able to give justice to it? I just love how it turned out and how easy it was to pull in this one.

Thank you for stopping by.

MARSHALLS SUNNIES

Fall Style in my Plaid Coat as one of the Fall trend I am loving, Already featured a Plaid blazer few weeks ago and this one for cooler temps. What I love about this coat it that length, it gives enough coverage and also will still be able to show what you are wearing inside. It looked like an over sized coat for me so I recommend you size down. But me personally, I kinda liked that effect on me. I was actually thinking on adding some pops of red but totally forgot to bring in the hat.

This coat is a great cover up both to dress up or down. Another style is wearing mid calf or OTK boots with it. Great plaid print like this adds up some powerful vibe on an outfit. I always wanna try something different and just mixing it with my old outfits that are classic. You don’t always have to buy new things from head to toe. Always invest on something that you can wear over and over like the black dress I am wearing here. You can’t go wrong with the little black dress. This plaid trend is the one that I am really embracing this season.

Have you invested on some plaid styles this season? I am interchangeably doing plaid and animal prints.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again on Wednesday! Stay tuned for my DIY Halloween costume….
