Are you like me who always try something new? Well, here I tried another style that I really loved as it is very trendy and also comfortable. We all have seen chokers these days as it is one of the trends for this coming fall season. It can be a choker necklace or something like this choker neck blouse. I really love the style as it looks like I already accessorize my look just by having the choker neck. It is actually comfortable especially this one as the texture is so soft. It actually feels like cotton too me.

I definitely recommend you trying this trendy top. It just elevates your simple casual look making it look chic and so stylish. Can also be worn with skirts and shorts. It can easily be worn dressed up or down.

I hope I was able to give an outfit inspiration here and let me know your thoughts. What are other things you would want me to post about here on my blog.

Thank you all for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. May all of you have a nice day!

I have been wanting to try this outfit because it is a combination of a maxi dress and a romper. So, How to wear an overlay playsuit? It is very easy to pull outfit as it is a romper where you can move around pretty good but it also has the maxi dress effect where you can play dress up. It can be worn as a casual outfit and can be dressed up or down depending of what shoes you want to wear with it.

I wore it here as a casual chic look so I paired it with my black strappy sandals. If you want to dress up you can wear it with high heeled shoes. I also saw blogger @Carriebradshawlied wore it here. Her version is very summery and I so love it. Do you agree? So there are different colors and prints to choose from depending on what style you want.

I hope I was able to give you an idea on how to wear an overlay playsuit. Thank you all for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.

May all of you have a beautiful week ahead.

My sandals is also in color combo with the blouse I am wearing here. It is one of the fall colors I love to wear during this time of the year. It is also so comfy to wear as it is chunky and not to high. I was able to walk with it on the cobble stones.

Virginia Beach Mini Vacation: A Family-Friendly Getaway

As summer comes to an end, our beach trips are a must. We took two days off to enjoy a mini vacation at Virginia Beach with the whole family. When we travel, we always prioritize family-friendly destinations with plenty of activities for the kids. Our recent trip to Virginia Beach was no exception, much like our memorable trip to Mexico in 2014.

Virginia Beach has seen significant improvements. The boardwalk is cleaner and more inviting, making it a popular spot for families, joggers, skateboarders, and rollerbladers. There’s also a spacious bike lane for cyclists. On the other side of the street, you’ll find musicians playing live music at nearly every block, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The variety of restaurants ensures you’ll find something delicious to eat.

We stayed at the beachfront Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, where the sound of the ocean and the sight of people enjoying themselves added to the charm. The view was lovely to wake up to and a perfect way to end the day. Despite our stay being just overnight, it was an amazing trip for the whole family. The kids loved playing in the sand, bodyboarding, swimming at both the beach and the hotel’s indoor pool, surrey biking, and enjoying the playground.

If you’re near Virginia Beach, it’s a must-visit during the summer. We had a fantastic time, and we’re looking forward to more adventures. This weekend, we’re heading to Canada for our son’s birthday, so stay tuned for updates.

Thank you all for stopping by and for your comments. Have a wonderful day!

Where did summer go? That is the first thing that came across my mind when I got this First fall dress.

Travel Guide: Orlando, Florida

August 5, 2016 34 Comments

I finally get the chance to finish this travel post from our trip last month in Orlando, Florida. Here are the highlights of our recent trip and some tips for you on where to go, to eat and to shop.

Disney World: Magic Kingdom We went there 4th of July and it was a great experience as their usual fireworks display was extra special. The fireworks was all over the Magic Kingdom (360 degrees). It was so cool!! The ticket price for 1 day pass was $134 but includes 3 fast pass, you just have to download their app and sign in there to get the fast pass. The whole experience was great it was indeed the happiest place on earth. Our relatives was with us too. This is so cool! It shows different Disney movies here at the castle like this “Up.”
Never Ending Pool days at the clubhouse

This is the round up of all my look from our trip in Orlando, Florida.

Look 1 ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT Look 2 PALM PRINT PLAYSUIT Look 3 PRINTED SHIFT DRESS Look 4 TASSLED SPAGHETTI STRAP TOP Look 5 SHIRT DRESS AS SWIM COVER UP

3. Aquatica Water Park

This is such a nice place because the kids really enjoyed the water even my husband and I. In here they have this cool water slide where you will see underneath the dolphins swimming beside you but you will be inside the tube slide. They also have wave pool and other cool water slides, lazy river… We also purchased the meal all day so we just have to pay one time. It is buffet style and the food is okay.

4. Disney Springs formerly known as Downtown Disney

This we just strolled as they have a lot of restaurants, shops, entertainment for all ages.

5. Universal Studio City Walk

This is kinda similar to Disney Springs as they have a lot of restaurants, shops and entertainment but this one is way smaller than Disney Springs.

6. Crayola Factory

Family friendly place and a lot of arts and crafts for all of you. The entrance fee is $22 but got there an hour before closing so it was half the price. I suggest go there early so you can go to all their stations for arts and crafts.

We really enjoyed our stay here in Orlando. Some places we did not get to take a lot of pictures as we were really enjoying it. We also went to Artegon Marketplace, they have unique stores from artisans and they have cute wall arts. We thought of visiting the beach to get to see some white sands but did not get a chance. Our 7 days stay was not enough, it should be at least 2 weeks 🙂 We stayed at our aunts rest house, but there are a lot of hotels within the area.

Until the next adventure: Upcoming trios for us this month are Virginia Beach and Quebec, Canada. Follow along our family travel.

I hope you find this post helpful when travelling to Orlando, Florida.

Thank you all for your comments and for visiting my blog. Have a wonderful weekend!]

Simply,

Christanne
