Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a good day. Just wanna share to all of you our happy moments with the snow after the snow storm Jonas. I am also hoping that if you were snowed in like us, your streets have been plowed already.

That Sunday after the storm was very beautiful because it was sunny. Everything looks good except for the fact that my husband had to start shoveling for me to be able to go to work on Monday (I know right, it is part of the job as a health care professional).

As my husband was shoveling I took the kids to play for a little bit just to do some snow ball fight. They really enjoyed it and my son Aidan was even trying to eat the snow. We really had fun but had to take them in after at least 15 mins of being outside as I don’t want them to catch a cold.

So for those of you who has not experienced snow yet. You really have to be well dressed like wearing thermal under your clothes to keep you warm. When it was my first time to experience snow. My husband and I was outside for like an hour playing with it and was not wearing any thermal. When I got inside, i coukdn’t feel my legs for a while and it was really red. I got so scared that I had to be near the fire place. It could have been frost bite. So now we always make sure we wear appropriate clothes in the snow as detailed below the pictures.

Share me some snow storm experience you will never forget?

Thank you or stopping by and commenting. May you all have a wonderful week.

Simply,

Dress Top

January 25, 2016 25 Comments

DETAILS: TOP CLASSIFIED (SIMILAR HERE AND HERE)/ RAYBAN SUNGLASSES in Gold/ SHOES – CHARLOTTE RUSSE/ BAG MICHAEL KORS similar here in Blush Pink

Happy Monday loves! Today, I am sharing another look from my recent trip to the Philippines. This top is actually a dress according to the sales rep (but for petites ” I think”) and since it is too short for me I just wore it as a top so I called it dress top.

I was shopping there and found this beauty on the mannequin. The mannequin was also wearing it like a top. So I ask the sales rep if I could try it and I really liked it so much. This can be my early spring/summer look for this year. And with this style, you can easily add blazer and it will be an instant work outfit or a trench coat I you just want to be casually chic.

The colors I am currently obsessed right now are neutral colors and the typical back and white combo. I am leaning towards more outfit mix and matching this year. I hope this look inspired you.

Have a nice and beautiful day. Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments.

Toning

DETAILS: TOP AND BOTTOM – GAP SIMILAR TOP HERE AMD BOTTOM HERE/ SHOES – NIKE (SIMILAR STYLE HERE)

Happy Friday! Today, I will start back to my workout routine as I have slacked during the holidays. It was really hard for me to keep up with my daily workout routine. As I was planning on packing things for our recent family vacation. And all the food that was there during the festivities.

This day, moving forward and as my goal for this year. I will be more active than I was last year. I must say that 2015 was really a great year for me being somewhat consistent with working out. Again, I will use my nike training App and S health from my android phone. I want to be toned and look very fit. Not only by exercising but also eating the right food and the right amount. Being fit makes me feel good. And I know that I am becoming a good example to my children as sometimes they will follow my workout routines, It becomes our bonding.

And to all the mommies like me. You know you also have to take care of you as how you take care of the whole family.

Let’s workout together and be fit! I know it is hard but all we can do is start.

Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments. Have a great weekend and if you live in the East coast like me. Be safe and stay warm.

Simply,

Christianne

Details: Dress – Maldita/ Handbag – (Anne Klein SIMILAR HERE)/ Shoes – Charlotte Russe/ Watch – (Bulova SIMILAR HERE)/ Nail Polish – Orly

Hello beauties! I have missed you all. It’s been awhile I know, This is actually my first official post for 2016. For those of you who have been following me on instagram knows that I have been on vacation to the Philippines for 3 weeks. Yes! the whole fambam had a winter escape and we all enjoyed it so much. Not only because of the beautiful weather there but because we were there to celebrate the Holidays with our beloved families. Not to mention how hard It was to find a good internet signal and plus most of the time we were with the fambam that is why I have been M.I.A.

Today, I am sharing this look that I wore on my husband’s grandfather’s 80th birthday Celebration. If you notice here, I chopped my hair. Yes indeed! It is the new year and I want to have a new look. My shortest hair ever, and I am loving it. Thanks to Nico the stylist who encouraged me to try this look. What do you think? The dress I am wearing here is from a local store in the Philippines (Maldita). One of the brands I loved when I was still back home.

Here is another question? Did you notice my eyelashes? Yes, I finally braved myself and tried it. I actually like it so much but not the part where I cannot just rub my eyes the way I used to. It was also hard to swim with it. But hey! It makes me feel good.

On my upcoming post… I will talk about more of my trip and all the things I have done which I think is worth sharing. I invite you to visit Philippines when you get a chance to go to Asia. It is a neighboring country to Thailand, Indonesia, China, Japan, Korea and a whole lot more.

I hope I was able to give inspiration to all of you. Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments. Have a great day!

NYE Outfit

December 30, 2015 20 Comments

DETAILS: RED DRESS c/o OASAP

Hello lovelies! Sending warm greetings from the Philippines! Yes, I am on vacation and that is why I am MIA blogging. Last time I visited my family here was 3 years ago. I so missed them and the tropical warmth of our country specially around this time of the year when it is cold in the USA.

Today, I am wearing this dress from oasap to wear for NYE. I know…. another red. I guess it has been my favorite color of the year. Why Red? It is a very lucky color to wear on NYE coming from my chinese roots. It has been our tradition here in the Philippines to wear red on NYE because we have a lot of Filipino-Chinese, it has been said that it brings good luck and prosperity for the New Year.

And can you see how gorgeous this dress are? And it is only under $20 but very good quality for its price tag. I really love this one! I just had to make adjustments with size because it is big. I usually order Large when it comea from China but this one is truly Large in fit. I guess I should have gotten a size small.

I just want to greet everyone a very Happy New Year and be blessed! Thank you for stopping by and enjoy!

Outfits For Snow Getaway and Winter Break

December 18, 2015 32 Comments

Hello lovelies! Today, I’m sharing some outfit inspiration for your upcoming holiday trip. Whether you’re heading to snowy mountains for skiing or snow tubing, or escaping the cold for a warm, sunny destination like we will be doing right after Christmas, I’ve got you covered.

Let’s start with the essentials for a winter getaway. When packing for a cold destination, make sure to include:

1. Heavy Coat: A warm, insulated coat is a must. Look for one that’s both stylish and practical.
2. Thermal Layers: Pack thermal tops and leggings to wear under your clothes. They provide extra warmth without adding bulk.
3. Sweaters and Hoodies: These are great for layering and keeping cozy.
4. Waterproof Boots: Essential for snowy conditions. Make sure they’re comfortable and have good traction.
5. Accessories: Don’t forget hats, gloves, and scarves. These items are key to staying warm.
6. Snow Pants: If you plan on skiing or snow tubing, these are necessary to keep you dry and warm.

Now, if you’re lucky enough to be heading somewhere warm, here’s what you need:

1. Swimwear: Pack a couple of swimsuits for lounging by the pool or hitting the beach.
2. Lightweight Clothing: Think sundresses, shorts, and tank tops. These are perfect for warm weather.
3. Sandals: Comfortable sandals are a must for strolling around.
4. Sunscreen and Sunglasses: Protect your skin and eyes from the sun.
5. Hats: A wide-brimmed hat can be both stylish and practical, providing shade and adding to your look.

I hope this guide helps you decide what to pack for your holiday adventure. Enjoy your holiday loves, and may you all have a fantastic time this season. Thank you for stopping by my blog and sharing your thoughts in the comments.
