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.

There are so many ways to transition your Summer dresses into Fall dresses. Take it from me, who loves wearing dresses all Summer long. The idea is to make your dresses work for Fall without feeling cold and still looking great.
The concept is to add all the Fall essentials you already own and is readily available in your closet. With this dress I could wear it over the knee boots, ankle boots or just plain flat shoes. Also I can add a denim jacket, leather jacket and a wool hat. You can pretty much do it to all these dresses I have covered here.
Also, pay attention to the once that are on sale like this first and last dress here. That is also the reason why I posted this today on Labor Day! It is all about the sales baby.

Reasons to stay at the Kimpton Palomar Hotel in DC
DETAILS: DRESS
Hi Guys! Today I am sharing Reasons to stay at the Kimpton Palomar Hotel in DC. All the things you need for a best vacation is outlined here. I have been wanting to share our family experience about our stay at Kimpton Hotel Palomar (a boutique hotel) in Washington, DC. I wanna show you how it was to have a staycation around the Nation’s Capital.
Honestly, It is our first time to stay in a Hotel in the District as I live in Maryland which is about 30 minutes away. I am glad to have stayed in DC this time as we were able to visit some of the other beautiful places around it. Most of the people who visits Washington, DC mostly wanna go to every museum and monuments around and specially the White House.
There are other places around that you should also include in your itineraries. I have outlined some of the reasons why you should stay at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar.
1. ACCOMODATION. They have the stylish and spacious rooms for you with super comfy beds! I fell in love with their modern style furniture and beautifully designed bathrooms. When we got tired of going around the area at least we enjoyed staying in the room for all those reasons while watching some good shows.
2. WINE HOUR. They have this complimentary wine hour where you get to taste different kinds of wine and make it your happy hour of the day. Good for people who are wine lovers like me and my husband. Don’t worry they also have something for the kids. They have popcorn and lemon waters to share so everybody and for those who does not drink wine. We were able to enjoy those moments staying in the hotel lobby chit chatting. You get to see and chit chat with other guests too if you are some kind of social butterfly.
3. POOL TIME. One of the reasons why we love doing staycations is the swimming pool. Isn’t it fun if you can get to swim while you are staying away from home. It already feels like you are in a resort right? The whole family get to enjoy this pool time specially the kids that loves water. They have this pool float her that we get to use for ourselves. It was a little chilly this day but we were able to manage.
4. FOOD. They have Urbana Italian Dining where you can get to eat delicious Italian food and you will surely enjoy the ambiance. We ate there for breakfast and it was the best meal if the day! They have a lot of breakfast food to offer.
5. COMPLIMENTARY BIKES. Who doesn’t want to explore the surrounding areas if you are staying in this Hotel right? The best part is you get to do cardio. DC is such a nice city to get around on a bike, it is too much of a hassle to use your car and find a parking spot, plus it is expensive too. It was just unfortunate that it was rainy during our stay so we were not really able to go farther than around the City. We would have been able to reach all the Museums…
6. COMPLIMENTARY UMBRELLA AND YOGA MAT. It actually came handy during our stay because it was really a rainy weekend. If you prefer to stay in the room to workout because they have a towel and yoga mat in the closet. Even though the gym is always open 24 hours. It rained so hard after we took this last photo.
In case you are looking for more hotel stays in DC. I have them here and here for you to check out.
In case you have questions just let me know. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Friday! Today I am just posting one dreamy outfit post I have been trying to do for the blog. Rent the Runway made it happen by being able to rent the closet of my dreams. Playing Dress Up: Cannes Festival Inspired as it is coming to an end tomorrow. If I’d be able to go there I would wear something like this and wearing a Monique Lhuillier dress is a dream come true. And my little Aidan here was very cooperative with the photos so I really enjoyed this photo shoot with him. He became my date here since my hubby is the one behind the camera.
I just cannot stop bragging about the good service Rent the Runway have. It is an easy peasy process and they have all the gorgeous designer pieces you could ever imagine.
As for the dress, it is really pretty and flattering. I love the color and the style is so elegant that is why I had to pair it to my classic Valentino shoes. If ever I will have a Gala to attend, I will wear rent this dress again! It is true to size and the length is just right for my height. I am 5’6″ by the way. You can also wear this to a wedding if the dress code is strictly formal, this will be perfect for it.
I hope I was able to give some inspiration from this post. Thank you so much for stopping by and may you all have a wonderful weekend.

This Spring Summer Perfect Embroidered Maxi Dress that every girl should have in their closet because it is chic and comfy to wear. I was so breathable and the flowy feel during the breey weather. The material is a little heavy that makes it even better when the wind was blowing as you can see on the picture. And since it was sunny and I was next to the water. I added the hat and the bag that makes it even better.
I really enjoyed this photo shoot because I felt so care free and even removed my sandals so I can enjoy the sands. The dress is for keeps and the color is actually red orange but some pictures it looks very red. It can be worn with espadrilles on some cute mules and some chic satchels that you have. This is definitely a major must have item this season.

One dress, Two Styles is to save you money using a new outfit and instead utilizing what you already have in your closet. On this look I created, I just simply wore the dress as is and added these pretty shoes I got from Target. They are the dupes for all those fabulous shoes that the other famous bloggers wear as I cannot afford it yet. And also have you noticed that I have been posting mostly blue? It was not intentional I just love blue so much. That color always gets me and it is so in for Spring/Summer looks. This looks is something you can wear anywhere and I just added the denim jacket on the next style and changed my sandals to closed pointed toe shoes.
