Happy Monday to all! How was your weekend? My family celebrated three events, Adi (my daughter’s) first communion, Mother’s day and her 8th birthday today. It was a very weekend but very fun spent with family and friends. Today, since it is the wedding season and a lot of things I hear about is what to wear. Sharing this Wedding Guest Dress Part 1. As I will be showing 3 parts this week if you will be attending or know somebody is wanting to look good but not breaking the bank.

I am glad to have known Rent the Runway. I have heard of them through a friend who had to attend 8 weddings in a year. She told me that her secret was renting it from Rent the Runway. I was always stunned by all her outfits as they all look so good on her and the dresses were looking so expensive. So when I was approached by them to feature it. I did not hesitate and I am actually on my second round of 4 dresses, so dresses in 2 weeks using the Unlimited RTR. Very easy to order and make returns! Another best part are the outfits that they have and you can also buy it from them if you like it at a discounted rate.

As for my outfit today. This dresses is just right for me wearing a size 6 but to be more comfortable, you should size up. The color is so refreshing to the eyes and can be paired with any neutral colored shoes. I hope I was able to share something good today. Stay tuned for the next outfit on Wednesday.

Simply,

Why I love Being A Mom

May 11, 2018 2 Comments

We are few days away from Mother’s day. I just wanna share some of my reasons why I love being a mom.

I love that I am responsible to provide a better life for your kids (together with my husband) and shape them well so they will grow up a good person. I really enjoy this because whatever I like what my parents did to me growing I do and whatever I did not like of course I will not do.
I love being the person to take care of my kids hygiene making sure they are always clean and healthy, its not that my husband doesn’t do that, but I do it more.
I love that you have these little ones that think of you as their hero.
I love coming home knowing that the kids are always excited to see me, all my stress and problems will automatically be gone.
I love it that I have thoughtful kids and they treat me so dearly and gives me flowers to pick up from the ground.

Most importantly, I love being a person that is capable of loving unconditionally for the sake of my kids. Honestly, my kids are teaching me how to be more patient, because they will really test you. I believe I am getting better.

May all of you have a wonderful Mother’s day weekend! By the way, what are you up to this weekend? It is going to be Adi’s First communion at Church and on Sunday celebrating mother’s day with some family friends and an early birthday celebration for Adi.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello everyone! I am on a major summer vibes right now in Spring because of this gorgeous dress I got to wear the other day. 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.

Thank you for stopping by and see you on the next post!

It’s a wrap! Happy Friday in Target Style outfit. Who doesn’t shop at target? If you haven’t shop there you are missing a lot of good stuff. I have found this cute and comfy dress there and is under $30 that zi paired to another gorgeous target find, these who what wear shoes! There are under $50 and so pretty, those tiny bow knots got me.

If you are not into heels, I would wear this with slides that are so in right now or wedge or flat espadrilles or sneakers, even better! You can tell by the flow of this dress that is gonna be a go to outfit for Spring/Summer season. Easy to wear and pair with anything! I just love the vibrant color of mustard yellow. How about you? Are you embracing that color too as well?

So we are 1 week away for Mother’s day. Do you have plans on going somewhere with your mom. I would prefer giving them the gift of experience like massages, spa treatments… secondary to me are the jewelries were you can both share if you’d like to do twinning with mom.

What you you all up to this weekend. Tomorrow our hot and humid week will be replaced by rainy 2 day weekend.Not complaining as I know it will wash away the pollens that really hurt me so back even with allergy medicine.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

It is a gorgeous week here in Maryland and glad was able to wear this pretty dress when we went to watch The Avengers last Monday. It is low 70’s and a little breezy and the flow and texture of this dress is just perfect for the weather. What I love about the dress is that is can be worn Spring and summer so you know it is a good investment. It can be dressed up and down as well and if you love some colors you can add some pops of some colors with your bags or shoes.

I just opted for the simple look here in neutral and that is why when I saw this pretty wall flowers. We made a stop and took the chance to make it our back drop. It worked out as my dress stand out. Are you a dress lady like me? If you have been following me for a while now you know I love wearing clothes that are one and done that is why the jumpsuit is my alternative for that. Do not need to think to much to dress up.

I also included all the other pretty Spring/ Summer dresses that you might like here below. Thank you once again for stopping by and see you again this Friday. Let me know if you have something in mind you would want me to do a blog post on.

Happy Monday from Maryland! It was a beautiful but weird weekend weather because on Saturday it was Spring and yesterday Sunday it went back to winter. My allergies are really acting up and it really bothers me even with my allergy medicine. But there is something to look forward this week. It will be Summer in Spring mixed, according to the week forecast we will have this 80’s to 90’s temp. I am actually excited about it because that means more time outdoors. I will be able to enjoy all the outfits that I am wearing.

To break in some summer outfits. This one is for you to be inspired! Maxi dresses are not new to you but I mixed it up with this sleeveless denim jacket to still keep up with Spring and these gorgeous espadrilles are still a winner. You can never go wrong with them this Spring/ Summer season. And to top the whole accessories is this cool mirrored cat eyed sunnies. Sun protection is a must and you can never be outside without this.

How are you gonna celebrate this warm weather week? Any plans on any outdoor activities for you? We will be watching The Avengers today with the whole family. We did not want to watch it over this weekend as we know the theaters will be packed. Today will be perfect I hope (fingers crossed!).

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you on my next post.

Happy Friday! It is a rainy day again here in Maryland but I am not complaining. I actually just wanna stay home and watch Netflix here. So today posting this Basement Living Room Reveal: Be inspired by these colorful stuff that we put together to make our basement lively and cheerful to the eyes. We have not used our basement since we moved here because my friend was staying with us. So when they moved out we have repainted the whole basement and change the color of the fireplace. It was originally red and as you can see it is now light gray.

As you all notice the whole basement is very light color. So to put life to it we added these colorful pieces like the throw pillows, area rug. We are actually planning to add one more cool furniture on the side and it is coming soon. So stay tuned!

What do you think about our decorating skills? It was mostly my choice of pieces here and just asked hubby what he thought about it. When he approved then that is what we did here.

Have a wonderful weekend! Stay dry if you are in Maryland but Saturday and Sunday should be perfect though.

Simply,

Christianne

Extended Closet/ Blog Office Reveal

April 20, 2018 6 Comments

Extended Closet/ Blog Office Reveal TGIF and Happy Friday!! I have been looking forward to this moment sharing to all of you my extended closet/blog office reveal. Why did I call it as such? Because what you can see here are some of my favorite shoes and handbags that I really worked hard for to save so I can buy them, it took years for me to have this much stuff. So much of those explanations…

So this part of the house (spare room) has not been touched for a long time. It was an office of the previous owner and they were book shelves. I took the opportunity to turn it into my closet. This is every girly girls dream I should say. My sister in law was joking about it calling me a celebrity. It just so happen that our house already has these built in cabinets and we just repainted them added a chic bench and voila! It turned out really nice and this is were I get my inspiration and do my blog work. Wouldn’t you be inspired if you will be working creating your fashion blog post in this room?

I am also so lucky to have a very supportive husband and plus my father in law is here to help us remodel and re paint pretty much the whole house. Stay tuned on the next post as I will show you our basement living room and Mini Bar.
