Happy Monday! Sharing some Easy summer style like this cute dress here from boohoo. Have you put out all your summer dresses? Here are some of the summer styles that I love that would like to share with you guys. Easy means one and done right? I paired this cute rust colored dress with white bag and sandals to add contrast to the whole look. Rust is not a typical summer color but hey, fashion these days is more of a self expression. With all the white details, the outfit came to summer life. Aren’t y’all happy we are technically 2 days away from the official summer days!! Are you heading somewhere?

Here are some of the other cute summer dresses I love.

How about you? What are your easy summer styles? I would love to get to know you too.

How is everybody doing on this hump day? I finally was able to upload these photos from the look I had when I attended my friend’s daughter’s 18th birthday. It was a special event for us Filipinos (just like sweet 16). I was also one of the performers in this birthday together with my husband as the lead guitarist of our band. I chose to wear this dress as I have love the mesh design and the details which is perfect for the event. The birthday theme was also a fairy tale land so wearing this was really appropriate.

I paired it with the block heeled sandals which was perfect because I lasted long without changing into flat shoes. You all know what I mean…. I was thinking of pairing it with a red shoe but I just want to add contrast to the red detail of the dress so I did not pursue. This dress is another fab find under $100 which I talked about on my previous post here.

I hope I was able to give some inspiration to you if you are thinking of what to wear in an event like a special birthday celebration.  Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by. Sorry for the late post, I usually post early in the morning but the past few nights I was giving all my time with the family on movie nights, sixflags and a lot of outdoor stuff.

We are literally few weeks away until summer. When I think of it, it gives me a vision of chambray. We all see chambray everywhere and so I tried to find another variation of it. And this chicwish top has the floral embroidery that made it distinctively simply and chic to add a twist to the regular chambray style. I want to create a simple look so I just wore it with the white jeans and and slide sandals to make a chic and comfy look for the weekend. I wore this last weekend by the way if you were checking out my instastories.

I also would like to introduce the O bag!! I am so glad to have known this brand. I bough this in Italy and it is not that expensive I must say. It is perfect for summer and the best part is it is that you can customize it!!! You can add what ever lining, handles you like. There are different shapes of the bag too. I found out they have a few stores here in the US. So if in case I got bored with the 2 styles of handles I bought. I can order some more and get more colors.

I hope I was able to give you some inspiration and new items for you to check out.

Happy hump day and Thank you for stopping and hope to see you again on my next post.

This yellow cute off shoulder got me! How about you? Did it get your attention too? I was thinking that yellow summer would be a very loud color but I was wrong. I actually love it so much specially with the style of this top and its cute edges. It can also be paired with shorts and cute flat sandals. I opted to wear it with jeans at this time since it wasn’t that hot for me to wear shorts yet.

There are different variations of yellow that are perfect for this season. Mustard yellow is another one on top of my list. I was looking for a dress in that color scheme. Isn’t it amazing that our style and color choices are not only limited to the common and classic ones anymore. The trends are evolving and now incorporating some colors that you would only see during fall and winter.

I am just so excited for this season of fun under the sun. Lot’s of outdoor activities and water splashing fun.

Have a wonderful week ahead and thank you for stopping by. See you on my next post.

Summer is just around the corner so I am already shopping some summer items here and there. I bought some summer pieces from our trip to Barcelona, Spain from Zara. Why not? it is cheaper there and Zara is a good brand with a lot of fabulous finds. I am incorporating summer and pineapple (the fluffy ones) and you know what I mean. It is literally in season, right?

I wore this outfit on Memorial day when we were having some BBQ party at our backyard with my mini family. The whole outfit is just a simple casual everyday summer look. It is an easy style to pull and I elevated the look wearing those cute bow styled slides. I could have worn a dress too. I am also eyeing a lot of striking colors lately for summer. They are just so cool to wear and such an eye candy. You can just play around with colors this summer season.

I am just so excited for this season of sunscreen and vitamin sea!!! I just want to be on vacation again (wishful thinking…) Uhmm… Greece? Maybe Santorini this time. Wait I gotta make money for those trips first, lol! Seriously, How about you guys, what are your everyday summer staple? Are you into shorts and t shirt or you are a dress lady like me?  I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for stopping by lovelies and may all of you Have a wonderful and fun filled weekend. Are you headed somewhere?

It was just so appropriate that I wore this dress here as it was easy to move around and the slied are just as comfy as I did not have t walk much from this trip.

Good morning and Happy Monday! How are you celebrating your Memorial Day? Today, I’m sharing details of my 2-day trip to Barcelona, Spain. I’ll cover all the places I visited, along with the restaurants and shops I tried. If you have an upcoming trip to this beautiful city, I hope this gives you some helpful ideas and insights.

Feel free to let me know if you need any more adjustments!

2 Days Trip Guide in Barcelona, Spain

Why am I saying it was only a 2-day trip? Well, we arrived in Barcelona on Tuesday afternoon and left early Thursday morning. We stayed in an apartment about 40 minutes away from the center, Plaza Catalunya, by bus. We could have taken the train or a taxi, but we wanted to see more of the city, so we chose the bus, which had its last stop at Plaza Catalunya.

Upon arrival, we refreshed ourselves and got situated at the apartment, then headed straight into the city. The public transportation was very efficient; we didn’t experience any traffic and arrived at Plaza Catalunya around 3 PM. From there, you can easily walk to La Rambla, where you’ll find numerous restaurants, shops, La Boqueria (a fresh produce market), and the marina. In the opposite direction, you can walk to Casa Batlló, one of Gaudí’s famous masterpieces, aside from the Sagrada Família.

On Day 1, we strolled along La Rambla and were amazed by its accessibility to various shops, restaurants, and attractions like museums and street performers. This place is very busy, so be sure to keep an eye on your belongings.

La Boqueria is one of my favorites on this strip, as it has a wide variety of fresh produce to satisfy your heart’s desires. We met my husband’s aunt, who lives in Spain, and she invited us to her place for dinner. She made a delicious seafood paella, with all the ingredients sourced from La Boqueria.

At the end of La Rambla, you’ll find Maremagnum, a small mall in the middle of the sea, where you can shop and dine while enjoying a beautiful view of the water.

Day 2 we started late around 12nn and this time we took the Barcelona City Tour Bus (29 Euro adult ticket and 16 euro for kids 4-12 free for 3 and below) so the kids won’t have to walk. It is a hop on hop off bus to see all the city attractions and here we got of to see the Sagrada Familia. Such a stunning masterpiece and we wanted to get inside but the next available opening was 7pm too bad we did not have time. The person at the entrance said we should have booked it online to save us time.

The other stops we just took pictures from the Bus. Another tip, Barcelona has a lot of beautiful beaches so if you love the beach, make sure to bring along your swimsuit, sunscreens.

Lunch at the Chipiron at MareMagnum waiting for a table

Sure, here’s a revised version of your blog post:

During our trip, we enjoyed a meal at a Tapas restaurant in Plaza Catalunya. The food was delicious, and the Sangria was amazing! For lunch, we headed to Chipilon at the Maremagnum. The food there was just okay.

For my outfit, I chose a flamingo blouse paired with pants and some cute slides from Zara. It’s more affordable to buy Zara items here since the brand originates from Spain. For added comfort while sightseeing, I alternated between my slides and Toms shoes.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful week ahead.
