SHOP THE POST:
Sharing my Nordstrom Anniversary Picks from shoes to jacket that will narrow your search for your Fall wardrobe. We are already in the month of August and school starts soon. Fall will be next month and now is the time to shop for it while all the prices are in favor pot the shoppers, right? So here are all the shoe picks for y’all starting with a cute mule, added those 2 combat boots and of course you wouldn’t want to not have a knee high boots to complete you Fall staple. The one I have on my cart right now is the black combat boots and the Spanx Faux leather leggings but unfortunately the sonar sold out so quick.
Now lets go to the Jackets! I am still more into the neutral light jackets or what others called shacked trend as they compliment every simple outfit and add the style. To complete the Fall jacket staple you have to have a trench coat and a faux leather jacket as well. If you have been following me, you know I have those items in the closet and they are classic pieces that will surely can be worn throughout the years in case you just wanna throw on some perfect nice Fall outfit.
These items I picked out here for y’all are practical and stylish pieces, not too trendy. You can wear them as a casual outfit for work, play or whatever you think you can do this Fall outdoors. So I hope I was able to contribute to your decision making in case you are looking for some outfit inspiration to refresh you Fall wardrobe. I am looking forward to that smell of apple cider and trips to the pumpkin patch wearing this cute Fall outfit.

What my $100 can buy at H&M
SHOP THE POST:
I have been wanting to do a blog post about different stores and see what I can buy with my $100 on them. I will start of with the stores that I already shop. If y’all know me one of my go to store is H&M and last year that have announced that they change their sizing to cater to US sizes. I used to be medium but with the new sizing I am now small. To me it is now similar to Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic.
So now let me talk about this outfit that I came up with. So these items total including the shipping and handling came about to $96 I still have $4 to buy me a scrunchie or something. This style I can wear now and into Spring, to make this appropriate for Winter is just to add one of the jackets or coats you already have in your closet.
This is a very chic look to start of the New Year and you can never go out of style with black and polka dots. I am thinking of wearing this oversized white long puffer coat. I think this will really look good put together.
I am actually looking for one to myself but the one I was eyeing on at Boohoo, they don’t have my size anymore. Check out the long puffer coat I posted here last year. You might want to add this to your wardrobe.
Also if you’d be so kind to let me know in the comment section what you want to see on my blog this year. I am thinking of putting up all the workout wear next week that are on sale. Thank you all so much for stopping by. Happy New Year again!

On Trend with Hiker Boots, another must have this winter are these chic and functional boots to beat the cold while being fashionable.
OTHER OPTIONS HERE:
I already ordered mine (this one) but is debating if I will keep it or not. I am still on the hunt which I will get that I truly love. I also found a good deal on boots at JcPenny and some of their items are Buy 1 get 2 free. Who can beat that right and these three are the ones I like (one, two, three). The total for all of them is under $80.
I just love buying shoes and if you have been following me, you probably would have seen my shoe closet here. This trend right now got me excited because these boots are very functional. When rough weather comes they will come in handy for us.
They are actually anticipating arctic blasts again and these hiker boots specially the ones with fur will be perfect for the weather. I am glad that the fashion industry is combining functionality and style at the same time. I also added those snow boots there that are perfect when snowmaggedon comes because they are waterproof and will not get your feet wet. Specially when you go skiing up the mountains.
I pretty much have the Uggs which are truly warm on your feet and also the tall snow boots. Now is the time to get a new pair of these hiker boots. Do you own one already or still on the hunt. IF you are still looking then this post is for you then and take advantage of the great sale I have mentioned above.
Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again next time.

Things to Buy in the Thrift Store
It was one Sunday afternoon after having lunch with the family at a Vietnamese restaurant. Before heading to the car, I spotted the Goodwill Store across and I was like. We have been dining to this restaurant for a longtime and been seeing that store but I have never been. So there we went and we actually had fun searching for a lot of things.
First tip, this is the best place to buy those expensive items like quality Winter Coats, boots, jackets because those items can be very expensive brand new. I remember before moving here in the US. We were still back home, we went to the thrift store to buy winter coats because they are nice quality and only costs us 100 pesos which was $2 a piece. You can’t beat that right?
But if you just want regular items like sweaters like the ones I was wearing here. I would rather buy new because there are a lot of them new and good quality too like these…
Just like these coats I bought from the thrift store they were only $12
It is just like a physical store like Ebay and Poshmark. And speaking of… you can follow me and shop my pre-loved items on my Poshmark here. This coat is good quality and real wool. And this Green coat as well.
Another good thing to buy are the big items like furniture, outdoor stuff, workout items.
So when we were looking around, I found this nice slightly used threadmill, I mean you can tell from the appearance of it. It is priced at $69.95 but it was 50% off (even better!) so We got it since we were renovating our home gym. It was truly as steal! I was also looking for a desk chair for my home Office and also found it there.
I hope you find this post helpful in deciding what to get from a thrift store.
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend.

In here I just paired it with the still on trend white booties. I added a little bit of Fall vibe in this style.
on this one, if you are not into white booties, I have paired the dress with this trendy knee high boots. This color combo if perfect for Fall. You can never go wrong with mustard yellow and brown hues. Check this post I had last year with yellow dress.
In case the temp continues to drop, you can just add a trench coat to finish the whole look. I would go with a neutral colored coat to match this dress. I just had so much fun trying out different ways to style this fun dress. It just hide my imperfections on my mid section and the cut and the tie waist actually made this dress so chic. The material is so comfy and the back part I forgot to show is so fabulous. You will definitely love this style.

Sweater Cardigan For Fall
SHOP THE LOOK:
ONE/ TWO/ THREE/ FOUR/ FIVE/ SIX/ SEVEN/ EIGHT
Today here in Maryland, it is a little chilly. As we are approaching the official start of Fall. I don’t know about you but I can already feel its presence with the changing colors of the leaves and the temp is cooling down. But I am loving it, it is not too cold or too hot. All we need is some chic and cozy sweater just like the ones I have put up on here for your guide to buying your sweater cardigan for this season.
There are a lot of beautiful options for all of us depending on the budget and style we are looking for. So I created this save vs splurge for all of you to choose from.
Through the years I have collected so many sweater cardigans and I have it on different length. I do love me a long cardigan and this year I am rooting on things with Fall colors like, tan, mustard and burgundy. I know I have completed all the basic colors and now I am expanding my options and adding some fun prints and colors that I do recommend you have in your closet.
They can easily add life to your basic shirt and jeans style. Speaking of Fall, what do you love about it or the things you like doing every Fall. Check out all the fun Fall activities we do here.
What I wanna do this Fall is go up north towards New England and see how beautiful it is up there when the leaves start changing colors. I heard they are really beautiful and wanted to see for myself. And checked into their cabins as our Fall getaway with the family.
Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again next time.
