MICHAEL KORS HANDBAG (OLD) SIMILAR HERE

For all the lucky ladies who can wear anything to work, this is an outfit inspiration for you! if your work place doesn’t have a strict dress code this Not your typical Work Clothes is for you. Most of the time working at the fashion industry, advertising agencies, marketing and the likes, will let you dress up like this. There might be other work places that are not strict that you know, let m know from the comments below to add to my knowledge.

So now, Let me talk about this flattering dress from Black halo. Such a good brand, I did a review on one of their jumpsuits here. It is really worth the price! I can say that this dress is true to size but it looks tight fitted to me as I sized down. As you can see, it fits like a glove. It will definitely show your shape and the length is a little short. This styling is absolutely out of the box! This dress can also be worn on parties as you can see with its glam details.

When I wore this, it really made me feel like a boss and the confidence was just there. I just cannot explain the feeling. I bet if you will try this look, you can tell yourself I can conquer the world! The color too is not commonly seen everywhere. You really have to choose which type of green shade you are gonna wear. This one is in between being light and being dark so it really went well with the handbag and shoes.

So tell me, are you one of those lucky ones that are allowed to wear this type of outfit? I hope I was able to inspire you too with this look. Happy Labor day weekend! Are you going somewhere fun or just hanging out at the backyard enjoying some barbeque?

Thank you for stopping by and see you next week!

Making a Difference by Starting #Iappreciateyoumovement

August 24, 2018 4 Comments

This blog post is not just about fashion but about life in general and Making a Difference by Starting #Iappreciateyoumovement is something I have been thinking about for a while now. I have been noticing a lot of negativity around me like people complaining about everything here and there. That kept me thinking why do they do this? It was made crystal clear that most of the people are not being appreciated.

I am currently re-reading the book of Dale Carnegie “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and he clearly stated there this. The deepest urge in human nature is “desire is to be important. This desire makes you want to wear the latest styles, drive the latest cars, and talk about your brilliant children. So he stated on the book to show people they are important is to show sincere appreciation.

Greatest example of it was my brother. He was really excelling in school for consistent year and every year my parents failed to show up on recognition days and I will be the one there with him to accept his award. Of course for his young mind, he was proud of his achievements and wanting my parents to be proud of him too. Then after a few years, he started not excelling in school and now thought about this quote “If you don’t show your appreciation to those who deserve it, They’ll learn to stop doing the things you appreciate.” -from pinterest

And another good example is “A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected.” I was always being noticed by my father when I was younger that I love to draw and he always tells me I really draw good and I can be an artist in the future. That kept me practicing more and even competing in some poster making contests in school. My effort is being recognized and that is a greatest feeling.

So today, I am starting #Iappreciateyoumovement because I want you to “Be Somebody who makes everybody feel like Somebody.” I encouraged you share this post if you really like this and start spreading this positive vibe throughout our community. I suggest get a sticky note pad and give it to somebody that you truly appreciate and start seeing the big difference (in a good way). By showing someone how you appreciate them, you are making that persons day and I bet it will make our day too knowing you made someone feel important equals both of you being happy.

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend!

What to Do, Where to Eat, and Where to Stay in Virginia Beach: A Complete Guide

Planning a trip to Virginia Beach? Here’s a detailed guide based on our recent experience to help you make the most of your visit.

Where to Stay:
We stayed at the Courtyard By Marriott North Oceanfront, which has recently renovated its rooms. The decor exudes a beach vibe, thanks to the stylish wallpaper. The beds are extremely comfortable, and each room is equipped with complimentary coffee and tea, a microwave, and ice vending machines on every floor. The highlight of our stay was the resort-style pool area, complete with a pool bar. In case of bad weather, the indoor pool is available and stays open until 11 pm.

What to Do, Where to Eat and Where to Stay in Virginia Beach

What to Do:
There are plenty of activities and attractions to keep you entertained in Virginia Beach:

1. Live Performances
2. Try indoor skydiving at iFly, zipline adventures, and water activities like dolphin watching, ferry boat rides, jet skiing, and parasailing.
3.Visit the local zoo, rent bikes or surreys for a fun ride along the boardwalk.
4.Explore the nearby museums to soak in some local history and art.

What to Do, Where to Eat and Where to Stay in Virginia Beach

What to Wear:

Where to Eat:
We enjoyed a delightful seafood feast at Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant. For a quick bite, North End Pizza offers delicious pizza and ice cream.

Overall, if you’re looking for a fun and relaxing getaway, I highly recommend staying at the Courtyard By Marriott North Oceanfront in Virginia Beach (this recommendation is not sponsored).

Back to Basics with Denim Overall for a chic casual everyday look that is easy to pull if you are always on the go and wanna look fab. You know I am all into dressing up good and easy that is why I love dresses, jumpsuits and romper. If you are a mom like me, you do not have that much time for preparation for yourself because you have to help your kids get dressed to.

This outfit is also a good transitional style from Summer to Fall. Another good style for back to school style. This style is for all ages. Any age group can pull this off and if you are really in to comfort, you can easily wear sneakers with this look. The length of this overall is long that is why I wore it with the wedge sandals so I do not have to roll it up. But I suggest you do it when it is long for you and you wanna wear it with flats.

Embracing Polka Dot Trend

SHOP THE LOOK:

CYNTHIA ROWLEY DRESS SIMILAR HERE AND HERE

H&M SUNNIES

ZARA CLUTCH (OLD) SIMILAR HERE

Have you tried the polka dot trend yet? I have been seeing it a lot lately and embracing the Polka dot trend. I have seen a few come start of this year and let me tell you something about this trend. Polka dot outfits is something you will see yearly every New Year’s Eve in the Philippines because of the belief that it is a sign of money. So if you are wearing one, you are summoning it to come to you.

Polka dot is such a classic just like the stripes for me. This particular dress really got me because of the ruffled hem and it being a wrap dress with flared sleeves. For me, this is a good transitional outfit from Summer to Fall. It is light and the color is just so gorgeous for both seasons. As you all know me, I love pairing same colors for my accessories and I came up with white. It is neutral and can be paired literally with anything.

What about the cobble stones here? Do not attempt walking on them when you are wearing heels. It is for trained professionals like me. Lol! You don’t want to sprain your ankle then you are gonna have to see me and I will give you therapy 🙂

Thank you for stopping by and make sure to follow along on instagram to see where we are heading this weekend for Aidan’s birthday. Do you have any weekend getaway? share it from the comments below and I’ll try to check it out.

Have a wonderful weekend. Check out some of the other Polka Dot dresses below.

Exploring Mount Vernon, VA in a Rebecca Taylor Romper SHOP THE LOOK:

REBECCA TAYLOR ROMPER

KAREN WALKER SUNNIES

DSW STEVE MADDEN SLIDES

LOEFFLER RANDALL STRAW TOTE

Exploring Mount Vernon, VA in a Rebecca Taylor Romper because it was gorgeous weekend and we want to see a scenic view of the Potomac River. It was so beautiful on the other side of the Fort Washington. Driving up towards the Plantation House of George Washington was amazing! It would be perfect if we were in a convertible. OH, I just can imagine as you can see in the photo here. They have this small spot for the people to stop and take a look and picture if you’d like of this stunning view.

This was actually my first time seeing this view of the Potomac river from this side (Virginia). My husband actually suggested that this will be a perfect photo shoot location and he was right. This is were they ride with his friend on a motorcycle. They have restaurants too on this side that has the view. If you are visiting DC this is just 30 minutes away from the city and is actually opposite side of the National Harbor.

So for the romper, if you have watched my instastories last week. This is such a perfect outfit for a warm weather. It is kinda short but still looks classy and the fit is so flattering. The color and those ruffle edges at the hem was so fabulous! I even took a bathroom selfie with the whole outfit and how adorable is the bag? The color is just so gorgeous and who else is not into straw tote this Summer?

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely weekend! What are you to this weekend?

Best,

The Jumpsuit for Keeps

The Jumpsuits for keeps SHOP THE LOOK:

BLACK HALO c/o JUMPSUIT

KAREN WALKER SUNNIES

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN PUMPS

ZAC POSEN HANDBAG

Have you ever felt that you are powerful or stronger because of the outfit you are wearing? Well, I did! With the Jumpsuit for keeps, I can say that because it has the great style, fit and good quality material. The price tag for this is justified, you know you can wear this over and over again. It is not just one of those trendy pieces that you wear few times and then it goes to donation boxes or re selling it.

I must say that this particular outfit is for the Boss ladies out there! The fabric is elastic, doesn’t wrinkle and it really has a great fit. The length is just right and the style is classic. Something that you would wear in meetings or you can even wear this too for a night out. Very versatile, so I really think this is such a good investment piece.

Another thing to consider, since this is for keeps to make sure it really last long. Handle it with care and read the washing instructions. This jumpsuit has to be dry cleaned and that being said you really have to handle this with care. But I promise you, it is really worth the bucks!

Visit www.blackhalo.com, I know would wan to have beautiful pieces of clothing in your wardrobe. they are designed and manufactures in Los Angeles! Thank you for stopping by and all opinions about this jumpsuit are honestly my own.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again on the next blog post. As I always want to be relatable, if you have any topics you would want me to do a blog post on. Let me know from the comments below.
