Happy Thursday my friends! I hope everyone is doing well. We have been lucky to have a warm weather this week. It gave me the vibes to wear this off shoulder top from asos. It is just making me feel fabulous and Spring break coming soon. This outfit is the best friend you ladies out there will need.
Christianne’s style means color combination. I got this Denim strappy heels to match the whole look specially the top. Just showing off different shades of blue. Aren’t those heels so stylish and trendy. When I saw it online it was love at first sight. Those heels can be matched to any outfit, super lovely this spring/summer season.
May all of you have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by and for all your comments.

Happy Monday lovelies! How was your weekend? I hope you all had a good one well spent even though we lost 1 hour of sleep. I am actually super excited to get longer days because of this. This is what most of us have been waiting for, Spring! Agree? As you can see on the background all the beautiful flowers around me. Even though it is allergy season for me, I still love it! There is always an allergy medicine I can take anyway.
I am s excited to share this dress that was sent to me by Karina Dresses to try. When I saw their website and checked out the dress, I loved what I saw they are all super cute! I thought to myself, I couldn’t wait to style it. This dress I wore at Church this weekend. The dress is super easy to wear and very comfy. This is very flattering for all shapes and size! Easy to take care wash and dry, wrinkle free and the texture of the dress is oh so soft to the skin.
When we were doing the soot for this dress, I couldn’t resist twirling with it! As you all can see on the pictures. Highly recommended product, quality material. Don’t forget to visit their website at Karinadresses . Since 70’s style is in right now and means vintage, why not try out a 50’s style outfit like this.
May all of you have a wonderful, fun-filled and blessed week ahead and thank you for stopping by and for all your comments! Spring break is coming soon…
Happy Saturday Lovelies! I know it is the weekend, not my usual day to post on the blog. I will resume regular posting schedule next week. Today, I will be sharing all the long driving essentials you need to take with you on your trip.
If you have been following me on Instagram. You know that we went on a quick trip to Chicago. We actually drove from Maryland to Chicago it was a total of 748 miles supposed to be 12 hours drive but it took us 13 hours including all the stops at the rest areas. Here are the list of the things you will need to survive the long drive. Thank you ANKIT for providing me some of the essentials I needed during our long drive like the HEADPHONES, MASON JAR BANK, CAR CHARGER.
1.) WATER It is a no brainer, we all need to be hydrated.
2.) GOOD PLAYLIST with GOOD HEADPHONES (this is just extra) I need because some of the songs I listened to are not kids friendly. Having good music will keep you sane especially when the road becomes just a straight line. It will make you feel sleepy, having it will keep you awake.
3.) SNACK this will also keep you awake and will save you until you come across next rest area to get some real food to eat.
4.) MAP/GPS – nowadays most cars and smart phones have this. But if you do not have these technologies, map is still the best option of them all. Make sure to look at it before hitting the road so you can plan your route.
5.) EMERGENCY KIT like first aid kit just in case and car kit like jumpers and other car tools in case you encounter car trouble. (Have your insurance Roadside assistance number handy).
6.) CASH Even though credit/debit cards are widely accepted in the US we still have some areas that will require you to pay cash. Just in case bring some with you.
7.) TOILETRIES to keep you fresh and clean when you stop at a rest area.
8.) CAR CHARGERS to keep you technology working for you like your kids ipad, your ipod, cellphones etc.
9.) PODCAST AND BOOK if you are not driving and just a passenger this will give you company too, and if you are the one driving podcast is really helpful keeping you company.
All of this we take every time we do go for a long drive. Another one, if you know you will be going to pay tolls. If you buy their RFID kit (like EZ PASS) ahead that will save you time lining up and will also give you discounts.
I hope you find this post helpful and do share it to those people you think will benefit from it.
Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
Hello there Lovelies! I hope everyone is having a good week. I was supposed to post yesterday as scheduled but had to make up for today, been very busy from our recent short trip to the Windy City (coming soon on the blog).
I would like to share this 70’s style outfit I wore for a stroll in the mall. I scored this Denim dress from Asos since I know I have other outfit in my closet to go with it. I paired it with my old bow tie blouse and this very comfy wedge sandals (thank you again Famous Footwear!) . Not the typical Denim Jeans that you will see me wearing. I just wanna try something new and I think I made a right choice.
The weather this week has been in the 70’s and loving it except for the Spring allergies that comes with it. I hope you are all slowly picking up new spring outfit to add to your wardrobe.
May all of you have a blessed day and thank you for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments!
Good Morning from Chicago! Yes, I am in the windy City and will explore more later. I just wanna share this look I wore last week looking for the perfect birthday for Novel. We had a few Spring type weather last week so I was able to strut with this style. If you have been following me for a while now. You will notice that I love pairing my outfit. I paired mu watch, bag and sandals. Those are my accessories for this look. The highlight is really the Flared jeans and the pastel blouse which is on trend for Spring 2016.
The flared was just a perfect fit for me. I really love mossimo jeans from target. I actually have a lot of them now in my closet and I am not letting them go. They are for keeps as they are soft stretch and very comfy. With this flared jeans it was the same experience love at first sight and fit. No doubt I am gonna look for more denim style for this spring/summer season.
As for blouses I have been looking for this pastel colored ones which are really Spring perfect! Best material is Chiffon for me as they are very soft specially when that Spring chill hits you. It just felt so good.
I also would like to thank famous footwear for giving me a gift card as their gift for hardworking moms like me. Thank you for appreciating us, they also give another card for me to pass along another hardworking mom. I gave it to my friend who also is same like me with her kids.
I can’t wait for more beautiful weather ahead of us.
May all of you have a wonderful week ahead and thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope I gave you some spring outfit inspirations.
As Spring 2016 blossoms, my wardrobe dreams are filled with delightful items that capture the season’s essence. Among these, the perfect bag and shoes top my wish list. Their versatile colors are not only ideal for spring but can also be styled year-round, making them worthwhile investments.
A gingham dress is buzzing as a spring fashion trend this year. Its timeless pattern and fresh appeal make it a must-have for any wardrobe. Pairing it with a chic pink blazeradds a touch of elegance and sophistication, perfect for both casual outings and more formal occasions.
To complete my outfit, I adore the idea of pastel color nail polish. A set with various shades is essential, allowing me to switch up my look based on my mood. Pastels are quintessential for spring, adding a subtle yet charming pop of color to any ensemble.
Additionally, a beautiful Daniel Wellington (DW) watch would be the perfect finishing touch. Known for their sleek and classic designs, DW watches are both stylish and functional, making them a great accessory for any outfit.
I hope you are having a wonderful day and wish you a lovely weekend! Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments. Your support means the world to me.
Happy Wednesday Lovelies! I hope you are all enjoying your week. I am just thankful for this past few days that we have given a spring like weather were we can wear less layers. I am so done with winter! I know most of you are because of the brutal coldness.
This look I wore at church and worn it two ways, The first look with the blazer is the one I wore at church as you can see on the picture that this dress has an open back. I bough this dress from our trip to the Philippines. But Luckily I was able to find a very similar style if you all are interested to know. I really love this dress because of its good stretch. The first look can also be a business attire, Do you agree?
The second look here is more fun. I just took of the blazer and put on those very cute sexy heeled slippers (that I am really obsessed!) but they sold out quick, the only color left is red which is also a fun look. This can be worn anywhere as a cute girly girly casual style.
I hope I inspired you with this look and may you all have a great day and rest of the week. Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments.
Happy Monday everyone! Today I am sharing you my review about this Jamberry Nail wraps that I received. This is an alternative to your regular nail polish if you are on a hunt of a cool and graphically designed nail glam. I actually have been hearing about this on my personal Facebook account from some friends who were inviting me to attend a Jamberry party. I was curious about it but never had a chance to go to one.
So I have gotten this product last Friday in the mail. I know that Cheryl (independent Jamberry Cosultant), She sent me the video on how to apply the wrap. I honestly only watched it like few minutes before I applied these first set of nail wraps on my finger nails. So, when I was watching I just found out that I had to have a set of things I need for the application. But most of the materials I do have and I just used my resourcefulness and used up my Hair dryer instead of their Jamberry dryer, Nail scissors (I used a regular smaller scissor), I also did not have a cuticle oil.
Jamberry Nail Wrap, nail prep included inside. Pretty design perfect for Spring!
It took me about 15- 20 mins to apply the whole thing. The whole time I was doing it Adi kept on saying “mommy I love your nails!”
I know I did not do a good job with the application. I need more practice on this one, Just like with any other new things we need to do. It was honestly hard to use the scissor using the Left hand to trim the nail wraps on the Right finger nails. But hey, practice always makes perfect!
I have been wearing the Nail wraps for almost 3 days now and according to them it can last up to 2 weeks. Not bad right and of course it also depends on how you use it. For me I have done most of the house hold chores with it, you know Sunday mornings… like washing the dishes, bathed the kids… Not bad right.
I also tried taking it of the one on my left pinkie and it was easy then I put a new one on it. Overall, this is a very good product. There are lot of beautiful designs to choose from. Good quality material and they have the tools in their website for you if you want to start.
If you are planning to try it. Watch this video first and make sure who have the materials before you start. It’s not hard to find you just have to be prepared.

DETAILS: BLOUSE/ JEANS/ HANDBAG/ FUR SHOES in RED check out my instagram post for the link on the exact pink item.
Happy Friday lovelies! Shades of pink are on my thoughts and I finally get to wear those new spring hauls I’ve been posting on my instagram. Spring is really fast approaching that the temperature is rising little by little. As you can see been wearing these blush pink blouse, the material is very soft (chiffon) but I suggest you wear a lighter bra for it not to be obvious. I paired the cutest pink fur slippers from ASOS which I am currently obsessed right now as they are stylish but below $30!! You can wear they dress up or down! I already have an upcoming outfit that I will pair this slippers on. And to add life I chose to wear this blue jeans so I don’t look very pale, just to balance the tone of colors. This look is a very spring casual and can be worn anywhere. If the weather gets cold you can also add a white blazer or trench coat.
I am so ready for spring and actually been trying to update my wardrobe! The best part is we get to have longer days coming soon, the flowers bloom and it is not too cold anymore. I am not looking forward to the allergies though! But hey! I will still take spring than Winter 🙂

May all of you have a wonderful and happy weekend! Are you doing anything fun this weekend? I know I will be attending my friends baby shower.
Where to go in Dc, MD, VA or the DMV, as what we call it around here?
National harbor (Maryland)
A very nice place to visit when in the DMV as they have a lot to offer. Everything in just one place! They have best hotels, restaurant, shopping places and other fun activities for everybody. You don’t need to drive far! I am just so lucky to be living just a few miles away from this place. If you are a fitness junkie and you do brisk walking, biking or running, this is connected to Old Town Alexandria via the Bridge! Gorgeous view of DC and the Potomac river along the way.
My Recommendations: (I only recommended the places I have tried that I like)
For Happy Hour:
McCormick and Schmick $$
Red Stone American bar and Grille $$
Dine in:
Rosa Mexicana
Nando’s Peri-Peri
Places to stay:
Gaylord hotel ($$$)
Marriott ($$)
Hampton Inn ($$)
The White House at NightLincoln MemorialJefferson MemorialUS CongressWashington Monument
Washington, DC
It is just so gorgeous to visit this City as it has all the important places here in the United States. Of course it is the US capital that is why it is so special. We always get to visit this specially when we have visitors, we tour them here. Great tourist destination, specially this coming Spring for the CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL.
Visit all the monuments (District of Columbia)
Lincoln Memorial
White House
House of Congress
Jefferson Memorial
Washington Monument
I suggest use the hop on hop off bus to get to all these stations if you don’t wanna walk. They are all strategically placed and very easy to navigate. Another way to get around the city is use the train system, but not during the rush hour or use Uber to get around.
Places to eat:
Food trucks!! Need I say more? Inexpensive, fast and mostly good food on every corner of those tourist Spots plus the souvenir stores.
Restaurants:

George Washington Masonic National Memorialstrolling in the winter.. #throwback
Old Town Alexandria (Virginia)
Another lovely place to visit and stroll around is this place specially at King street as they have a lot of boutiques, shops, restaurants and …. It feels like You’re in Europe when you walk around that area. They also have a tram where you can ride and really feel like a tourist. It is very easy to get around this area, everything is wlaking distance.
Restaurants:
Zento Sushi ( Japanese) and Pines of Florence (Italian) is our go to restaurant, the best!!
I hope this was a very helpful post to all of you if you will visit this winter. These area are close to the river so letting you know it will be cold so dress appropriately and wear comfy shoes.
Here is an outfit idea for you when you visit in the winter.
This is my personal preference for an outfit to wear strolling DMV, and this winter is you have been following this blog I have worn a lot of black and red. It has been my favorite Winter color combo. It just looks so elegant and for me wering black in the winter makes me feel warm. I chose to wear scarf and Wool coat as weather and temperature are unpredictable, it is better to be overdressed than under dressed. Do you agree?
Do visit our area as there are a lot of nice area and things to do for everybody.
If you find this post helpful, I will appreciate it so much if you will share it to give ideas to other people who might be interested in this topic.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your comments.
Simply,
Christianne
