It’s another hump day! Hope all are you are adjusted to the new time. It threw me off for two days and have been waking up late than my usual. Anyways, It just mean Spring is coming and here is another style inspiration for all of you. Spring Season Wrap tops are the best, they are chic and comfy and easy to wear making your casual look so sophisticated whatever you pair with it. This style is bringing the girly girly in me. You this is also my kind of style when the weather permits. I am also loving the light colors that blended with these beautiful blooms surrounding me.

I am just so inspired by the warm weather ahead. Just so glad the winter storm did not hit Maryland and praying for those affected by it that they recover soon. As you can see the blooms are here and so as my pollen allergy. I do not want to complain because it gives me this energy that everything is coming back to life to bring nature its beauty. I just so love having four seasons that you can wear different clothing all year round without.

I hope you like this post and thank you for stopping by. See you on to the next blog post. Have a wonderful day!

It is another work week for us. How was your weekend? Mine was fun but very busy and tiring. We are currently working on our basement renovating it. So here is a look to pull through this week. A Monday Winter Blues in neutral style for all of you. This look can be worn all year minus the turtle neck and long sleeves during the warm season. I just love how this look is so simple but elegant because of the classic feel.

I just felt so vintage wearing the sunglasses but I am really liking the color of it. It really matched the whole outfit and it gave life to this look. I do believe that accessories can make or break a style and this one definitely made it work.

Do you like colors or you are the classic type who always wear neutral or earth tones? You can never go wrong on this one right and I do believe you all have this pieces in your wardrobe already.

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for being patient with me as I am still trying to go m=back to mi=y routine of writing my blog. It is better late than never right?

Happy Friday! Today I am sharing this Simple Spring Style to Wear Everyday. Just combining all the basics and adding some cute stuff like my new obsession Zara kitten heels slingback shoes. I also added my favorite color blue light coat as the weather starts to warm up and just worn a tee inside just in case the temp goes up later on. It was just a very easy look that Sheryl Luke of @walkinwonderland got me inspired. She always wears those basic outfit and just adds lovely and chic accessories with it. Just being comfortable and fashionable at the same time. As you can see the shoes has an inch of a heel and it is very comfy to walk with.

I don’t feel over dressed with this style and it depends to where you are. It can be worn dressed up or down, you just have to remove the coat when necessary. I would also wear sneakers with this style if you prefer no heels at all.

I hope you all like this look and have a wonderful weekend.

Hello everyone! I am back finally, Our family have been very busy and time was really the problem. I am glad to show you guys my first Spring style look this Gingham Style All the way. I got this top from HM for $10 but sorry It is no longer available so I just link similar ones. I literally looked for a gingham style to pair with my hubby’s gift which is the cutest shoe from Zara. The kitten heels with gingham slingback shoes. They just match perfectly and I believe I will be wearing a lot of this print this Spring/Summer season. I am so done with the cold weather and ready to wear something cute that does not include coats and jackets.

As for my being MIA, I am not gonna lie. I really lost my drive because first of all the only time I can do photo shoots is on the weekends but it all depends on the weather. Also My husband (my official photographer) and I are a member of a band and we also practice on the weekends. I am glad last weekend we already performed so we are good. thirdly, my husband was also coaching for basketball and that also took up some of our photography time. So there is the story of my blogging life. See how busy we are? I am thinking of cutting back on some of the activities so I can focus back on my blogging which I really love doing. Now that I am updating my closet and I am so excited that it is coming along well. I just need to add more decor and accent rugs. I will keep you all posted soon. check out my instastories to take a sneak peak of it.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Starting next week I will resume my blog post to Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope to see you on my next blog post!

Happy Friday eve to all of you!

Happy Monday! Did you all have a good weekend? It was a rainy weekend for us here in Maryland and if you have been following me on my instagram. I honestly have not done any photo shoot lately so we did try to get some done inside the house. You will also notice it here on this picture with this Jumpsuit for Valentine’s Date. I hasd worn this during the Christmas season and not I can make use of it on Vday. They have the same color scheme anyway and with jumpsuits, you can wear it all year round. But if you are living in an area were Winter can be brutal. Do not fret because there are a lot of different coats you can put on top of the jumpsuit. Just take them off and show this beauty off once you got inside the romantic place you would wanna be in. I bet they have a heater on right? I would go for a long teddy coat or a wool coat to match the whole look.

I am just so in love with jumpsuits lately, it became my alternative to dresses because of the one and done concept. Do you love jumpsuits too? Below are some of the other jumpsuits that I like.

I hope you are having a wonderful day and wishing you a lovely week. 2 more days until Valentine’s day.

Since Valentine’s day is a week from now. I came up with this 5 fun date ideas for couples. It doesn’t have to always be like eating out in a fine dining restaurant or preparing candle light dinner at home. I made sure that both of you will enjoy and will sleep together with smile on your face and fun memories to share. Also my date is not on the picture, he is the one behind the Lens taking these gorgeous photos.

Re-create your first date

I am already excited for this one because we were only 18 when we first went on a date. We were in college and living on our limited allowance so make a guess where it was? It was at McDonald’s! So can you imagine that, just typing this I am already smiling and reminiscing those fun moments. I bet you also have that lovely moment together on your first date.

2.Play a Couples Game: Check out this book A Quiz Book For Couples

I though about this because last New Years Eve. Our friends and our family had this couples game to try something new as we only always have games for the kids. Moments like this shouldn’t just be for Valentine’s day anyway right? Do you agree? So in here both couples were asked questions and you both should have the same answer. It was so funny to see if you don’t get the same answer and you both have some explanations why you answered that way.

3. Play a New Sport together that you’ve been wanting to try

You might not be a sporty type or even your partner but trying out something different is not a bad idea. You might actually realize that that could be both your new sports and add it to your routine as a couple. Just adding some spice to your life as life gets so busy and you tend to lose the magic along the way. This is the time to hit that button and start anew.

4. Check out Groupon and try some new classes together

There are a bunch of classes going on around your area. You just have to explore it and make use of the discounted rates Groupon or living social has to offer. Dates doesn’t always have to be fancy anyway. It will be nice not to think about dressing up for a date right? Just staying low key is the key!

5. If you want something fancy. Try doing a Dinner Cruise Together.

I know us ladies, we always have that spot in our heart were we wish we have a Mr. Grey to pick us up and take us to a date of our romantic dreams. This is a way romantic as you are dining while cruising on what river you have in your are, you wearing your prettiest outfit and being serenaded as well.

I hope I was able to add something good on your list. Thank you for stopping by.

How I Manage Blogging, Work and Being a Mom

How I Manage Blogging, Work and Being a Mom?

Hello friends, Today, I want to share how I navigate the juggling act of blogging, a full-time job, and my roles as a wife and mom – a topic frequently asked by readers, followers, and coworkers. Let’s debunk the myth right away: I’m no superwoman. What makes it work is the incredible support from my family, especially my husband, who happily doubles as my designated photographer, understanding my passion for fashion.

Prioritization and Organization:

The ultimate key is prioritization and organization. While it can be overwhelming at times, family always comes first. If you don’t see a blog post during those hectic moments, it’s because family priorities take precedence.

A Peek into My Week:

I work Monday to Friday as a Physical Therapist with a flexible schedule. I prefer early starts to leave early and pick up the kids. Our meal plan, crafted since moving to the US, is a joint effort. Lucky for me, my husband takes on the cooking duties.

Mom Duties:

As a mom, evenings are a whirlwind of activities – from bathing the kids to prepping for the next day. Weekends are dedicated to quality time, including movie nights and accompanying my daughter to gymnastics and dance classes.

Wife Responsibilities:

Date nights are a priority, especially with my father-in-law’s help. When not possible, we enjoy cozy movie nights. Playing in a band together strengthens our bond, and breakfast is a daily ritual, just the two of us.

Balancing Blogger Life:

Balancing the blogger aspect involves strategic Instagram posts during the day. I aim to blog on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, often working on weekends. Busy weekends involve household chores, Sunday school trips, and occasionally, extra work on Saturdays. Planned photoshoots depend on weather conditions.

Gratitude for Support:

Attempting to juggle it all wouldn’t be possible without my husband’s support. It’s not about having a partner exactly like mine, but having someone willing to lend a hand is invaluable.

I hope this sheds light on how I manage these various roles. Wishing you all a joyful week ahead, and thank you for stopping by and being part of this journey!

Just Do It! How I got my Confidence and be able to start a Fashion/Lifestyle/Travel Blog

And yes! I am blogging for almost 3 years now and my motivation: Just Do It! How I got my Confidence and be able to start a Fashion/Lifestyle/Travel Blog. If I did not start this blogging journey in 2015. I’d probably still wondering if I can do this. The key is if you have the vision, dream and passion for something. Stop procrastinating and just do it. You will never know where it will take you until you try it. So far I am really enjoying what I am doing here on the side.

I started blogging because I was inspired by those top fashion influencers like Aimee Song, Rachel Parcell and Christine Andrew. I really enjoy looking at their instagram feed wearing nice outfits and living the life. And so I was really afraid to dive in but I did. I know I have the passion for fashion as I have mentioned before that I really wanted to be a model, mind you, runway model as I want to wear beautiful outfits, travel the world and stuff like that. The one I always see on those fashion magazines I read all the time. I made it one time to one of those magazines. I was able to show off one time showing real girls, real body series of Cosmopolitan Philippines back in 2014. I really do believe that if you want something done, just start it. Along the way keep on improving yourself to achieve your end goal whatever it is.

I am writing this to inspire all the women out there and my readers that is you can dream it, you can do it too. To tell you all the truth, back in High school I had very low self esteem. I don’t want to look at the public restroom mirrors as I always taught I will be the ugliest face there together with the other girls. I also did not want to wear shorts in public as I am insecure with my legs. I was so shy that I do not have that much friends in high school.

And look at me now modelling for all of you. Showing off different outfits with confidence. I am actually back tracking how I got my confidence. I do believe it started when I met my husband, my boyfriend then. He always tells me you can do it! He always believe in me. So if he believes in me why will I not believe in myself right? So I encourage you all that what ever your hearts desire. try to pursue it and you will be happy. Just like this at least partially I feel like I was able to fulfill that modelling dream. Also hang out with people who believe in your abilities and to those that you know will support you no matter what.

Writing this one, I felt like I wrote a novel of my life even though I know I am not a good writer that is why I’d rather pose for a picture 🙂 lol! I hope I was able to inspire you ladies to reach for your dreams in my own little way. As I always mention. I want to connect with all of you and if you have questions just send me a message. We are all here to support each other.

Thank you for stopping by.

Simply,

Christianne

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing you this lovely Green Trench Coat I wore over the weekend. It was so windy when we were doing this photo shoot but it actually made a good effects on the pictures. The only thing lacking is a helicopter in the background right? That is actually one of my dreams is to ride one, I am so inspired by @hellofashionblog as she does it all the time.

As for this look, during the winter we always see dark colors like mostly black. So I tried adding this dark green coat to add some life to the whole outfit. I am so glad that it did and it really stand out! I am not really into green much but I really love this dark green color, it is such a classy color to add to the wardrobe.

I can also wear this with all white outfit. That is actual;ly one on my outfit vision board. I was thinking of a perfect white jumpsuit and viola, That can automatically be a transitioning style from winter to spring look. What do you think? Share me some of your thoughts and I would love to read them.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a fantastic week ahead.

Simply,
