Happy Monday and Good Morning everyone! How was your weekend? I had a good weekend since we attended a family picnic at church and the weather was windy but very sunny. So, since June we have a lot of weddings here and there. I have been asked by some friends what to wear in a wedding on a budget? Attending a wedding can be expensive, specially if it is out of state or out of the country and it also depends on where the setting is. I might have solved some of your budget problem here because my look today is only $25 believe it or not and I swear it looks like a $200 dress. Even my husband couldn’t believe the price tag. Here is my $200 dress I wore from my cousins wedding as her bridesmaid here, Of course the material is not the same but very similar.

Here are my suggestions for BRIDESMAID DRESSES UNDER $35 IN PINK, IN BLUE, IN GREEN, IN RED, IN BURGUNDY

If you are a wedding guest here some of my suggestions ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR .

I hope this post was able to help you get an idea where to get dresses. Also another good news visit SHEIN as they have a Free shipping from today til June 14 only. SHEIN has a lot of beautiful summer dresses that are on sale.

Have a wonderful start of the week! Thank you for stopping by and for all your sweet comments.

TGIF! Good morning and Happy Friday my loves! I hope you are all having a great week as I am here enjoying this wonderful weather we have here in Maryland. Today, I am featuring this Summer Off the shoulder dress I received from MAKEMECHIC . It is less than $30 and the material is so soft and flowy as you can see from the pictures. It was windy when we had this photo shoot. I am introducing to you this new brand MAKEMECHIC, a sister company to SHEIN, and they also offer chic and affordable clothes.

If you will remember i just posted a similar outfit here but in blue and slightly different style. I have used the same accessories as those accessories are neutrals and is good to be paired with anything. As you all know, it has been a fun and chic trend this season having this off the shoulder outfits.

I hope I inspired you with this look for this upcoming summer. I have been wearing a lot of dresses lately. Like I have said on my previous post. It is super easy to wear dress this season as I only have to think of adding a nice accessories to make a great outfit.

May I also ask for your help? I am trying to troubleshoot my picture problem. May I request that when you make a comment, can you let me know if the picture is vertical or sideways when you read this blog post. I really appreciate it! As I have noticed that when the browser being used to read this is not IOS, the picture is normal but if it is IOS then it is sideways.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and may all of you have a wonderful weekend.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Today, I will be talking about this brand Boohoo and reviewing my online shopping experience with them. So this brand of the month: Boohoo is becoming my go to online store. You wanna know why? I like this store because:

Their regular shipping only takes 5-7 days for me to receive it
Reasonable price for good quality and stylish clothes
Helpful online shopping experience as they have all the different tools to guide you on how to style, pick a size and they even have a catwalk video
I have not experienced returning anything as their clothes are true to size and like I said good quality

I Highly recommend this brand if you haven’t tried it yet. I think they are originally from the UK but is also serving the US market. They also have a lot of different sizes, good news for all body shapes and size. They have very good filters if was looking for a particular feature.

Another thing, they will ask you to sign up though to check out. In that case it will be easier when you shop again as they already have some of your information. It is such a wonderful online shopping experience. I can’t wait to show off my new clothes I ordered from them… So stay tuned. I love it so much and I know you will love it too. Super chic style for summer specially if you will be going to the beach.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by and for all your sweet comments.

Good morning and Happy Monday Lovelies! How was your weekend? I hope you all had a wonderful one. We had a very busy weekend as my little Aidan has been running a fever again, also work on being a stage mom as my daughter performed at the Fiesta Asia in Washington, DC. It was a great performance and we had fun, a lot of different Asian countries performed as well.

As for my outfit for today. This silk dress and top I received from Tangerine NYC is such a beautiful creation. I really love the material, so soft, so perfect for the warm weather. As you can see, I have been wearing a lot of dresses because it is easy to manage when its hot. What I also like about this brand is that, they not only make good quality and stylish clothes. But the people who made them came from a less fortunate background. That being said, this company helps employ those people the need it most. If you have been following me on my blog and instagram. I love working with brands who is for #fashionforacause.

So now let me Tell you about Look number 1:

I chose this dress because I love wearing maxi’s this summer. The bead work around the neck also got me. It is so detailed and when I was looking at it, I already knew what I would want to use as my accessories. I wore the gold headpiece I got from headbandsforhope. Another brand that also supports a cause (they give a headband to a cancer patient for every headband sold). I was thinking of a Greek Goddess look as I always feel in my mind that Greece has forever summer. I also wore this gold slippers I had and added gold bracelets. If I can just change the my location to Greece, the background would even be more perfect.

For look 2: I chose this tank top because I really enjoyed looking at those pretty prints. It is just so classy and it makes me smile just by looking at it, I don’t know why. I just wore a pair of jeans and my ankle strap heels to make it more sophisticated even with jeans and added the gray clutch. Just a simply chic casual style. Which I know everybody can pull off.

I hope I was able to give inspiration with these 2 looks and make sure to check out www.tangerinenyc.com and www.headbandsofhope.com

Hello lovelies! It is midweek already and the 1st day of June! That is why I am feeling summer already. And today’s look is inspired by these super cute palm prints I got from Shein. This is my summer ready look for all of you. The material is so soft and the dress is true to size. I also love the cut from the back, super cute! Can be worn on the beach or anywhere actually. It also doesn’t show your bra from the back if you are worried about it. I just paired it with neutral colors to have a contrast.

I am just super excited that my closet has been full of dresses lately. Like I have always been saying that during warm weathers. I prefer wearing them as they are always easy. I just have to add nice accessories with it with cute shoes, bags, sunnies and some blings. I have been on pearls lately as it is chic and simple. Can be worn on a dress up and dress down outfit.

I hope you liked this post as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by and for all your sweet comments.

Happy Friday and long weekend to us! Finally get to enjoy this long weekend, cheers! We are just going to our friends House warming this Saturday and Sunday might go to the park and Monday backyard BBQ. What are your memorial weekend plans?

Today, I am sharing this Brand Serengetee which has items that are best for summer. Simple and cute stuff with good quality fabric. I really love their clutches as you can see on the pictures. Their Baseball tee’s are just soft and perfect for this hot sunny days flaunting their cool pockets. Also, their cutest hats to protect our faces from the harmful rays of sun.

I also wanna let all of you know that this is a fashion for a cause brand. As they support artisans and causes around the world. By purchasing fabric from over 25 countries, we support artisans, their families, and ancient fabric making traditions.

And, by giving back 10% of our profits to a diverse range of grassroots causes, we work to improve lives in their communities.

The stories of these fabric makers and causes are baked into every product we make, so when you wear Serengetee you are truly wearing a piece of the world.

I can relate to this so much as I came from a third world country and we do have these fabric artisans that really make less for what they do and lives in poverty. By this, I believe that we can make a difference, we just don’t look good but we are also making the world look good by helping.

These items are definitely going to be our go to outfit when going outdoors this summer.

I hope you find this post inspiring and May all of you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for stopping by and all your sweet comments.

Good morning lovelies! It is a bright sun shiny day here in Maryland and can’t thank God enough for it. We missed the sun and here comes the sun giving us light and energy. I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I just want to pass along my positive vibes to all of you.

Today’s outfit is an off shoulder dress I got from Boohoo. I saw this online on the model with the white belt, but I do not have a white belt so I styled it with this brown belt and paired it with my 2 neutral accessories (bag and sandals) which are my go to staples this season. I wore this outfit during my daughter’s Santacruzan festival at church over the weekend. If you have been following me on instagram here is a picture of me and my daughter.

If you noticed, I have been wearing a lot of dresses lately. First of, it is easy to wear, all i need to think off is what accessories to put on. As a mom, on the go, it is vital to move fast. So all the mommies, you know what I mean. Secondly, it is so comfy as the weather starts to warm up, My skin can breathe. That is why I like dresses comes this spring/summer.

I hope I inspired all of you with this outfit and May all of you have a good one.

Good morning and Happy Monday lovelies! How was your weekend? I hope you all had a good one. In our area it has been raining again so one of the outdoor event that we are supposed to go last Saturday was cancelled and moved this coming June. As for the church event, it still went through and proceeded with plan B which was to do the procession inside the church Hall. My daughter was one of the angels in our Santacruzan event. You will see it if you have been following me on instagram.

Even though it has been raining, I am still on my summer mood when it comes to online shopping. I have been planning my summer look already and came up with this HM summer wishlist. I was browsing online and found some good deals on HM (one of my favorite go to store) and they offer free shipping for orders $40 and up. I have been eyeing on these items specially the sandals and that cute shirt that has a ribbon at the back. I just wanna share with you ladies what is currently on my mind.

I hope I was able to give you some inspirations through this illustration I have pulled through here.
