It is officially Winter today! Are you equipped with all the coziest outfits to wear this season? As long as you have all the basic, you will survive the cold. Perfect example was the time we did this photo shoot. It was 28 degrees and it was windy. Thank good for this wool coat as it really is the life saver to cover me from the windy chills together with this cozy, super soft scarf!! I am not really a scarf person but it really gives you protection and makes you feel warm. This ankle boots actually is already enough but if you are really cold, you should wear gloves that has touchscreen fingertips, OTK boots or just mid calf boots and a hat!

Another tip, always keep a lotion with you and lip balms too. I hope I was able to make a good recommendations. Specially if you are new to a country that has this winter weather. I actually had to learn all that. And You really have to invest for worthy pieces as they last long. Most of the winter items are really expensive so buy those worthy of your hard earned money.

Happy Wednesday and thank you for stoppin by.

Have you tried wearing Satin Blazer? It is something to try on this Holiday as to its satin texture. It pass like a metallic outfit. It gives that festive look to any simple outfit you are wearing. It is also not bulky as you can put a coat on top of it. I just wore this as a casual look for an evening dinner with friends or if I will be strolling the MGM National Harbor. I will pass to their dress code if I will lounge to one of their bars there.

If you are really in to really fancy festive look. I would recommend you pair it with these shoes. It really is such a cute shoes and can also be work with a dress or skirt while still wearing your blazer on top of it.

I am the type who tries pout something different lately. I am trying not to be wearing something that when I go to a place, there will be one or two people with the similar outfit on. Has that ever happened to you? That would be embarrassing right?

Happy Monday and Have a wonderful week ahead as we only have 6 days to go before Christmas.

The reason I posted this look is that this is an outfit that is easy to wear when visiting places I will mention for you to visit this Holidays. As those are the ones mostly I have been to and some of it I would want to visit and see for myself and heard so many good reviews from my friends. It is just a comfy and cozy look and those shoes are just my favorite this season.

These are the places to visit….

Ice at the Gaylord Hotel it has been I think 4 or 5 years that we have been going there as a family. It never fails to amaze us and also we always enjoy the ice slides and looking at all the pretty sculptures. Be prepared though and wear boots, scarf, gloves, hat and heavy coat. it really is super cold inside even though they will give you another long coat.
Winter Festival of Lights at Watkins Park in Upper Marlboro. We were just there Monday and it has been our second year because we really enjoyed last year. You will just drive around the park and watch all the beautiful Christmas lights with different designs. It is $5 admission for a car.
Holiday at Six Flags I always get their invites as a season pass holder and I heard it is really good. It is only until January 2, 2017
Zoo Lights at the SmithsonianNational Zoo in DC as it is really pretty at dark with all the Christmas lights and plus seeing all the beautiful animals.
Christmas tree outside the White House while strolling around and touring DC.
King Street In Alexandria, Va which we always go as they have those pretty small shops and nice restaurants to eat plus all the Christmas decor the whole street and all the Christmas lights. You will really feel very festive!
Walking in Winter Wonderland to see the gorgeous Christmas lights which your family and friends and make sure to bundle up and enjoy what you will see.

So far, these are the fun places that I myself have been to and would love to go. There are I am sure a lot more fun places and if you know one. Let me know in your comments if you also live here in the DMV.

Happy Holidays, I can’t believe we are just few days away before Christmas. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Are you ready for the coldest days of the season? Winter is already here in Maryland, I can feel it as I am getting some colds. Geez! This season makes me wanna move to Texas or Florida or much better California. Oh well, enough of my sentiments as I got me covered for those days. I have this Tailored Long coat to beat the cold and it gives enough coverage. It’s not only serving that purpose but also add class and chicness to you outfit.

I might say that when it is this time of the year. Most of the time even when we are inside some buildings even though they have the heater on we still feel cold and will leave the coat on. Then you don’t get to see the full outfit. Might as well wear a coat that is already stylish right? I also love this stylish burgundy coat and this one too!

If you really are anemic 🙂 nope, If you are a person who is always cold. Then add an over the knee boots to not only style it more but gives you more coverage. Don’t forget to add some scarf and hat to add more warmth if really needed.

Happy Monday to all of you and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.

VINCI CAMUTO SHOES (OLD) SIMILAR HERE AND HERE

I can’t believe we are just a few days away from Christmas and the New Year. I am here still working on completing my Christmas gift list as I have a big family and a lot of friends. But at least I am done with my outfit for that day. I have this green wrap front Midi Dress for a change as I do not wanna be a little unique (somewhat?!) You know what I mean. Green is a hard color to wear but this one is just perfect for the holiday. It actually goes well with most Holiday colored (metallics of gold, silver etc.) accessories. Because I do believe a lot of people already have thought of red and black the most.

I am also the type who likes to experiment because I do not want to be confined into just one style. I wanna be able to wear anything depending on my mood and the places I am going to wear them. Since this dress is for Holiday so I added my favorite shoes which I have worn so many times and it has gold plates and paired it with this pretty faux fur clutch, as you can see from my previous post here that I added these Anne Klein accessories which made the whole ensemble chic.

I also would recommend you to try this velvet dress and this shoes together but if you really wanna be on the safe side… Give this LBD a try and pair it with this shoes.

I hope I was able to give another outfit inspiration before the Holiday comes. Have a great weekend and Thank you for stopping by.

Are you like me who like wearing dresses? Here is a classic piece to try on this Holiday and what makes this dress special to me is its sweetheart neckline. It gives you full coverage and like what always say. All Karina Dresses are flattering to any body type. They are really soft and wrinkle free specially this cold Fall/Winter season where you will wear heavy coats over your outfits.

I added these black pieces to the pair with the dress to add more classic vibes. Those bundle bracelets that are tied with a ribbon and the velvet shoes and bag to top it all. This is something to wear everywhere you just have to change the shoes depending on where you will wear it. This look is perfect for date night or a party with friends. If you add these ankle strap pump you can wear it for church. As you can tell if you have been following me. My style keeps on changing but it is mainly wearing dresses and a pair of jeans and I love me some heels.

I hope I was able to give you something tips and idea on what dress to wear this Holiday. I should also tell you there are other options other than red so watch out for my upcoming blog post to see more.

Leather All the Way

Wearing leather all the way is something I have been envisioning myself trying. I finally did and it felt good. We did some black Friday shopping and it was so windy that day and I just wore the right outfit for it. That is probably the reason why bikers wear leather things because it blocks the cold for them.

This outfit doesn’t only look cute but it indeed worked as my shield for the wind that day. I tell you, from the jacket to the leather shoes, It felt very soft. Can you imagine wearing this shopping, I thought it will not be comfortable but it was.

The shoes I thought would give me pain, it did not. That is why I was able to walk from point A to point be of the Mall. I felt so accomplished that day. It will also be nice wearing a hoodie sweater and put the leather jacket over it or just by adding a scarf.

How about you, have you tried wearing leather all the way?

Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend guys! Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments.

Have you ever tried wearing these pair of pants during the Holidays? Neither do I I bet you did not think about it. What do you think of how I styled it to make it as a Holiday outfit piece? These Palazzo pants are wide leg so it works like a long skirt and the color is cream so it is a neutral color and when I saw the Black blouse with metallic streaks on it. It really got into my creative mind like why not try them out.

I always think I cannot be looking like everybody else right? I wore a pair of black heels to match the top and the heels has a gold piece on it too. I ‘m really excited on how this look came out as I really thought I will not be able to make it work but I did. I also think it will work with velvet burgundy colors to match it.

Tell me your thoughts about it? I am welcome with all other ideas. Have you ever tried wearing a Palazzo pants yourself?

I hope I was able to give you an out of the box Idea for this outfit inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
