Happy Friday! And yes for the long weekend! Today sharing this tie front dress inspiration as this style is on trend! This is a must have this season for it is super chic and the tie knot front creates an illusion making it look… specially for those who have small bust like me. This dress is so chic and classy and can be worn day and night specially on cocktail parties or just because. I sol love the color combination of white and yellow. They just brightens my day and reminds me of sunny days of summer.

You can also wear flat sandals or heeled shoes here to dress it up, espadrilles will also look good when paired with it. They are so many style combination you can create with this dress style. This front tie style is also chic with jumpsuits and regular tops. I believe this will stay longer just like the off the shoulder trend.

What are your plans this memorial day weekend? Are you hitting the beach? As for me, my family and I will be at a birthday party and we might also go to six flags when the weather permits. According to the forecast we might have a rainy weekend, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for it not to come so we can all enjoy the taste of summer.

Thank you for stopping by and may you all have a wonderful long weekend.

Happy Friday! Today I am just posting one dreamy outfit post I have been trying to do for the blog. Rent the Runway made it happen by being able to rent the closet of my dreams. Playing Dress Up: Cannes Festival Inspired as it is coming to an end tomorrow. If I’d be able to go there I would wear something like this and wearing a Monique Lhuillier dress is a dream come true. And my little Aidan here was very cooperative with the photos so I really enjoyed this photo shoot with him. He became my date here since my hubby is the one behind the camera.

I just cannot stop bragging about the good service Rent the Runway have. It is an easy peasy process and they have all the gorgeous designer pieces you could ever imagine.

As for the dress, it is really pretty and flattering. I love the color and the style is so elegant that is why I had to pair it to my classic Valentino shoes. If ever I will have a Gala to attend, I will wear rent this dress again! It is true to size and the length is just right for my height. I am 5’6″ by the way. You can also wear this to a wedding if the dress code is strictly formal, this will be perfect for it.

I hope I was able to give some inspiration from this post. Thank you so much for stopping by and may you all have a wonderful weekend.

As promised here is another is the wedding guest dress part 2: maxi floral dress. I am so in love with this dress, so comfy, flowy and chic! I so love the cut, the slit and the back details of it. Okay, yes I love everything about it! Rent the runway has it all! If I can just heart every item they have for all my special event needs. I just wish I had a wedding to go to. All events around me are baby showers 🙂 Are you also in love with the dress? I added the straw bag and hat as it is perfect for a beach wedding and then just change into slides after party right?

This dress is so versatile, you can also wear a denim jacket over it when it gets chilly. If you will look into the review of the dress it pretty much looked good on everybody who wore it. It is kinda long though that is why I wore it with heels. I am just in the mood of posting about wedding as I always see the royal wedding update on the news.

So I recommend if you have an event coming up, this is a very good dress! You will not regret renting or even buying it!

Again, thank you for stopping by and see you once again on Friday for another lovely post.

Happy Monday to all! How was your weekend? My family celebrated three events, Adi (my daughter’s) first communion, Mother’s day and her 8th birthday today. It was a very weekend but very fun spent with family and friends. Today, since it is the wedding season and a lot of things I hear about is what to wear. Sharing this Wedding Guest Dress Part 1. As I will be showing 3 parts this week if you will be attending or know somebody is wanting to look good but not breaking the bank.

I am glad to have known Rent the Runway. I have heard of them through a friend who had to attend 8 weddings in a year. She told me that her secret was renting it from Rent the Runway. I was always stunned by all her outfits as they all look so good on her and the dresses were looking so expensive. So when I was approached by them to feature it. I did not hesitate and I am actually on my second round of 4 dresses, so dresses in 2 weeks using the Unlimited RTR. Very easy to order and make returns! Another best part are the outfits that they have and you can also buy it from them if you like it at a discounted rate.

As for my outfit today. This dresses is just right for me wearing a size 6 but to be more comfortable, you should size up. The color is so refreshing to the eyes and can be paired with any neutral colored shoes. I hope I was able to share something good today. Stay tuned for the next outfit on Wednesday.

Why I love Being A Mom

May 11, 2018 2 Comments

We are few days away from Mother’s day. I just wanna share some of my reasons why I love being a mom.

I love that I am responsible to provide a better life for your kids (together with my husband) and shape them well so they will grow up a good person. I really enjoy this because whatever I like what my parents did to me growing I do and whatever I did not like of course I will not do.
I love being the person to take care of my kids hygiene making sure they are always clean and healthy, its not that my husband doesn’t do that, but I do it more.
I love that you have these little ones that think of you as their hero.
I love coming home knowing that the kids are always excited to see me, all my stress and problems will automatically be gone.
I love it that I have thoughtful kids and they treat me so dearly and gives me flowers to pick up from the ground.

Most importantly, I love being a person that is capable of loving unconditionally for the sake of my kids. Honestly, my kids are teaching me how to be more patient, because they will really test you. I believe I am getting better.

May all of you have a wonderful Mother’s day weekend! By the way, what are you up to this weekend? It is going to be Adi’s First communion at Church and on Sunday celebrating mother’s day with some family friends and an early birthday celebration for Adi.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello everyone! I am on a major summer vibes right now in Spring because of this gorgeous dress I got to wear the other day. This Spring Summer Perfect Embroidered Maxi Dress that every girl should have in their closet because it is chic and comfy to wear. I was so breathable and the flowy feel during the breey weather. The material is a little heavy that makes it even better when the wind was blowing as you can see on the picture. And since it was sunny and I was next to the water. I added the hat and the bag that makes it even better.

I really enjoyed this photo shoot because I felt so care free and even removed my sandals so I can enjoy the sands. The dress is for keeps and the color is actually red orange but some pictures it looks very red. It can be worn with espadrilles on some cute mules and some chic satchels that you have. This is definitely a major must have item this season.

Thank you for stopping by and see you on the next post!

It’s a wrap! Happy Friday in Target Style outfit. Who doesn’t shop at target? If you haven’t shop there you are missing a lot of good stuff. I have found this cute and comfy dress there and is under $30 that zi paired to another gorgeous target find, these who what wear shoes! There are under $50 and so pretty, those tiny bow knots got me.

If you are not into heels, I would wear this with slides that are so in right now or wedge or flat espadrilles or sneakers, even better! You can tell by the flow of this dress that is gonna be a go to outfit for Spring/Summer season. Easy to wear and pair with anything! I just love the vibrant color of mustard yellow. How about you? Are you embracing that color too as well?

So we are 1 week away for Mother’s day. Do you have plans on going somewhere with your mom. I would prefer giving them the gift of experience like massages, spa treatments… secondary to me are the jewelries were you can both share if you’d like to do twinning with mom.

What you you all up to this weekend. Tomorrow our hot and humid week will be replaced by rainy 2 day weekend.Not complaining as I know it will wash away the pollens that really hurt me so back even with allergy medicine.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

It is a gorgeous week here in Maryland and glad was able to wear this pretty dress when we went to watch The Avengers last Monday. It is low 70’s and a little breezy and the flow and texture of this dress is just perfect for the weather. What I love about the dress is that is can be worn Spring and summer so you know it is a good investment. It can be dressed up and down as well and if you love some colors you can add some pops of some colors with your bags or shoes.

I just opted for the simple look here in neutral and that is why when I saw this pretty wall flowers. We made a stop and took the chance to make it our back drop. It worked out as my dress stand out. Are you a dress lady like me? If you have been following me for a while now you know I love wearing clothes that are one and done that is why the jumpsuit is my alternative for that. Do not need to think to much to dress up.

I also included all the other pretty Spring/ Summer dresses that you might like here below. Thank you once again for stopping by and see you again this Friday. Let me know if you have something in mind you would want me to do a blog post on.
