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.

Summer Essential: The Versatility of Wearing Espadrilles

Summer Essential: The Versatility of Wearing Espadrilles

In this post, we will explore the versatility of wearing espadrilles, from casual beach days to chic city outings, and why they should be a staple in your summer wardrobe. Discover the perfect summer shoe with espadrilles. Learn why they are a must-have for any warm weather wardrobe and how to style them for any occasion.

The History and Evolution of Espadrilles

Espadrilles have come a long way from their origins as humble peasant footwear in the Pyrenees, dating back over 4,000 years. Initially crafted with canvas and esparto grass soles, they were favored for their comfort and durability. Over the centuries, espadrilles evolved, becoming a symbol of casual elegance.

Today, espadrilles come in various styles to suit any occasion. Wedges add a touch of sophistication, making them perfect for summer parties and dressier events. Flats are ideal for everyday wear, offering both comfort and style. Slip-ons provide a quick, easy option for those on-the-go moments. This evolution has cemented espadrilles as a versatile and fashionable choice for modern wardrobes.

Comfort and Functionality

Espadrilles are the epitome of comfort and functionality, perfect for summer activities like walking, sightseeing, and beach days. Lightweight and easy to slip on, espadrilles ensure you stay stylish and comfortable throughout all your summer adventures.

Effortless Style: How to Wear Espadrilles for Different Occasions

For a casual day at the beach, pair flat espadrilles with a breezy sundress or shorts and a tank top for effortless comfort. For a night out, opt for heeled espadrilles and match them with skinny jeans and a stylish blouse to achieve a trendy, yet relaxed look.

Versatility in Design and Color

Espadrilles come in a wide array of designs and colors, ensuring there’s a pair to match any personal style and outfit. From vibrant hues to neutral tones, they feature unique details like embroidery, lace-up ties, and metallic accents that add a distinctive touch.

Espadrilles are the perfect summer essential, offering unmatched versatility, comfort, and style. From their rich history to their variety in designs and colors, espadrilles can effortlessly transition from beach days to city outings and everything in between.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

BEACH DRESS TO DAY DRESS c/o SHEIN

GLADIATOR SANDALS c/o AMICLUBWEAR (SIMILAR STYLES HERE AND HERE)

CLUTCH c/o SERENGETEE

Happy Monday Lovelies! How was your Mother’s Day weekend? I had a blast I hope you did too. Today’s look is about this super perfect beach dress that I turned into a day dress. It is super flowy and perfect for Spring and Summer season.

To make it a spring dress, You can add a cardigan or light sweater and still can wear flat sandals if you are not a gladiator sandals fan. For the beach look, you can add a straw bag or any beach bags you have and just wear flip flops or simple fat sandals.

I hope I inspired you with this look as I really adore this post. I have been MIA as I couldn’t do a photo shoot due to bad weather and plus of what had happened to my Ankle. It is 80% healed already, I still limp when I use heels.

I am already looking forward for summer that is why I chose this dress. I can’t wait to be in Florida in July. I just wanna fast forward the time if I can. So excited for my kids to experience Disney World. I remember the last time we were there was Adi was still 3 months old.

What are your summer vacation plans? Any post you would like me to do next? Let me know and I’d be happy to do it for you.

May all of you have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you all for stopping by and for all your comments.

IntelliGlass Screen Protector

May 8, 2016 8 Comments

NOV_2251 — Great packaging of intelliarmor and is getting ready to install to my cellphone here.

NOV_2268 — so easy to install because it doesn’t bend unlike the plastic screen protector

NOV_2258 — As you can see, with Aidan he uses my phone once in a while and sometimes he eats and will use the phone.

NOV_2256 — thank you for the anti smudge technology.

Hello Lovelies! I am sorry I have been MIA. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. It is almost Mother’s day, what are you doing to celebrate this wonderful day? Today, I just want to share this wonderful product to all of you as I find it very useful for all of us since we all own a cellphone, ipads and other tablets of that form. That is how we run our business right, blogs and stuff.

As a mom and blogger, I always use my phone and most of the time I leave it somewhere around the house. Having said that, there also comes a time where my kids, mostly Aidan will get it and play with it. From my previous cellphones, both my husband and I had bad scratches on it because of that. Even the ipads screen got bad scratches and glass broken.

I finally found this product to try and see what I think about it. This intelli glass HD screen protctor by intelliarmor is such a great product.

Here are the reasons why as written on their packaging and I also wrote my own explanation regarding my experience.

It is ultra clear – It is indeed, my cellphone looks like it doesn’t have any screen protector at all. I thought it will look bulky but its not.
Exceptionally Strong – indeed! I have dropped my phone several times to test it.
Slim fit – Like I said it is not bulky.
Oleophobic Coating (no more smudges and fingerprints) – So true!!!
Very easy to install – from experience yes, unlike the plastic screen protectors, this one doesn’t bend so super easy to install and hold to the sides.

The price is just right for the quality of the product. I highly recommend it, specially to the mommies like me who have little ones. You know what I mean.

Do check out their website as they have different screen protector for most gadgets at http://www.intelliarmor.com/ and start using this 20% discount code Coupon Code: TM-D6KXPUNP

Before I forget, there was a mistake at first they have sent me Samsung active S6 screen protector instead of Samsung Galaxy S6. But they got it right the next time. It was easy to get it replaced. They must have overlooked it as it is closely the same description.

Thank you all for stopping by and Have a nice day!

Simply,

Christianne
