What To Wear For St Patrick’s Day

What To Wear For St Patrick’s Day? I got you covered! I have different styles from workwear, casual, and many more. But first, let us talk about the celebration itself and how it started.

St. Patrick’s day is a cultural and religious celebration by the Catholic Church that commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It is celebrated on the 17th of March the day St. Patrick died. In addition, it is celebrated with public parades and festivities. And also wearing green as the attire.

This falls on the lenten season when Catholics start restrictions on drinking alcohol and eating. But it is lifted on this day.

So why do we have to wear green on this day? It is customary to wear shamrocks, green clothing, or accessories. Moreover, it is believed that St. Patrick used a three-leaved plant to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish pagans.

Here in the United States even though it is not considered a legal Holiday, it is still widely observed throughout the country as a celebration of Irish American Culture. In fact, I remember that Chicago always dyes their river green on this day.

So now let me give you all the outfit inspirations for you to wear.

And for these pieces, not just by adding their names but also their photos on the gift is on another personal level. Those keepsakes are always the one that gets closer to the hearts of I think anyone who will get these gifts. I know Valentine’s Day may be so commercialized these days. But having these gifts makes it so meaningful for the person who is going to receive it.

Personally, the lantern box with their engraved name makes it so special that whoever will get it will always think of you every time before they go to bed. Same for the photo cube, they can be both on the nightstand.

Happy Monday and hope y’all have a wonderful week ahead!

MY DRESS/ DESK/ CHAIR

My Home Office Refresh

I have been spending a lot of time creating content in my office. So I gave my home office a refresh by updating my desk and chair. I have been literally sitting down and writing a bunch of content ideas for the blog. Having my previous desk was not motivating me as it is like an old computer table. Check my previous desk on this post. Since we have been updated our living room and dining room. I decided it is also about time to switch up my desk and chair and make it look more of like a Simplychristianne type of furniture.

Amazon office desk and chair

The desk and the chair was easy to assemble, it took my husband about an hour to finish the desk and about less than an hour for the chair doing it with the kids. lol! I got both the desk and chair from Amazon and they came pretty fast since they were prime. And also they are tax-deductible since you are using them for your business.

My Home Office Refresh

I decided to get the white desk with gold metals since it works well with the whole look of my office with white shelves.

I also have a pink bench next to my Bag shelf so I made my desk chair pink as well. Now the whole office is coordinated I might just ave to change the artificial plant here into an olive tree. I have been eyeing on them so much on Amazon.

Now looking at my office gives me all the creative juice to create a lot of good content as I now love what is around me. It gives me a good vibe and it just flows if you notice all my reels on my instagram lately. I have been doing them here in the office because it is too cold outside.

I hope I was able to inspire you! Thank you for reading.

4 Ways to Style a White Faux fur Coat

A white coat might be a challenging piece to style so here I share 4 Ways to Style a White Faux fur Coat for different occasions.

Down below I’m showing how I styled it four ways in a video so you can easily copy how I styled it.

IMG_1633

The first outfit is a casual winter style for date night, brunch or anything in between that scope. However, the second look is more of feminine touch and it is good if you are attending a wedding in the Winter, Baptism or bay showers. You can also wear it going to church as a Sunday best dress. For the third look, It is a very fashionable look as well for date nights, night out with girlfriends and some party you might wanna attend. Lastly, This look is good for a night party. The white faux fur coat just gives it a more expensive taste.

This coat is so soft and warm and you will love the quality as I do. It is under $50 and very affordable but looks very expensive. I have been comparing it to the expensive fur coats I have worn previously. This is such a style staple for Winter to elevate your looks. I can also think of wearing it with just a plain shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers if you must. This piece is just so versatile also because of the color of it. I may say it is a Winter must-have and is a classic item that can be worn over and over again during the cold months.

Can you tell me which one is your favorite and also do not hesitate to message me if you would like to see other outfits that needs styling.

Been wanting to give our House a new look and it is much needed. So here is my Living Room and Dining Room Reveal. We just wanted to update the whole living room and dining room as it has been long overdue. First of all, they were worn out for all those 9 years it served our family. And also we are braver now to get lighter color as we wanted our house to look brighter meaning it will also look spacious.

Christianne’s Living Room and Dining Room Reveal

So what do you think about this transformation? We went for a modern look this time and bought insurance for the couches in case something happens and also added sofa and loveseat cover.

Let me show you the before photos of our living room.

Living Room and Dining Room Reveal - before photos

With all the furniture we have here since we moved into our house 9 years ago. This has been our main living room look. I honestly made it look darker as I was thinking since we will be having small kids. If I get light color couch that it will always be a mess. So we opted on the espresso color furniture mostly and also we what we love about this couch and love seat was that we can elevate our legs when we watch movies. It also helped me throughout all my pregnancies.

Here is the new Dining room look…

Christianne's Living Room and Dining Room Reveal

We still got the 7 piece dining room set but this one is longer than the old one. I am loving the longer version as it doesn’t look crowded when everyone is at the table. Also loving the new color as it looks brighter and it looks good together with our side table.  Below is the old table.. I don’t miss it honestly!
