Leopard Prints Trend: Pants and Loafers and a touch of red

*Look adapted from Twitter*

Leopard Prints is such a huge trend this Fall and this look featuring leopard prints pants and pointed loafers is a simple and classy way to wear the trend. As the temperature start to drop and those dresses and skirts are being put away, the leopard prints pants can be an addition or substitution in our wardrobe. When the temperature drops even further, the loafers can be switched out for boots and if you still want to add some color to your outfit while keeping warm, think red sock boots because sock boots are still a huge trend this fall.

White button down shirt + Denim

Happy Friday everyone. Friday is for casual style and for me, casuals in the most basic sense means denim. Today, I styled my denim pants with an oversized white button down shirt and white pumps which is a pairing you are going to see a lot this summer. You can wear this look to visit friends, to go shopping and even to hang out with hubby or friends. White is a color I used to shy away from previously most especially because I'm always around my kids and from experience, whites and kids don't go together nicely 😑 However, this summer, I'm embracing the white color trend because of the clean fresh look and how classy it looks plus my kids are grown now and they know Mom needs to still look glam while taking care of them 😆 The white sunnies added some whimsy to the look and the cuff bracelet which I purchased from Forever 21 several years ago added a little bit of color to the look too. Are you up for styling whites with denim this summer? Have a blessed weekend.

How to style: Statement Sandals

Statement Pieces..

Skirt: Here // Tee: similar // Sandals: Here // Bag: Here

Happy Wednesday 😆 So, summer is almost here and what better time to get out the sandals and the tee shirts than now. These sets are styled around the statement sandals blogged about here. The sandals is so beautiful and chic and the basic way to style it to make it stand out, would be pairing it with understated pieces. However, with these sets here, the risk taking fashionista can pair the sandals with other statement pieces like the skirts, tees and bags featured in these three sets and would not look overwhelmed. This is exactly what style is. It is being able to put pieces together in an unusual way to create a pleasing aesthetic. What do you think of the styling?

Headwrap + Denim Pastel Style

happy Thursday everyone. This is just a quick post here to show this casual outfit I wore recently. Somehow, I have developed a deep love for head wraps that I cannot really explain. I think the main reason is because I have this huge collection of scarfs just stored away in my closet and I figured I might put them to use by getting on this head wrap trend. In the past I never really liked wearing turbans and head wraps even when I had my dreadlocks. I only put my hair in wraps a few times but here we are 😉 Anyway, let me not bore you with all the behind-the-scenes gist.

So, I decided to style this colorful blue print scarf with my patch-work denim that I purchased from Loft a couple of summers ago. I must say what made this outfit stand out is the color theme; the baby blue pastel color. The blue in the scarf and the pumps add a pop of color to this casual outfit. Now that I am into bags as accessories, I completed the look with my straw clutch; an old purchase from JCrew. The straw clutch injects some neutral color tone and texture to the outfit. I wore it to visit some friends sans the pumps which I switched out for a pair of comfortable flats after taking these pictures. Thank you so much for stopping by here 😄

A Pop of Red

This is a very quick post here; I'm sharing this look I wore over the the summer on the blog today just because it has touches of red. If I live in the tropics or somewhere very warm, I would be wearing this outfit again during the upcoming holidays. I got the graphic tee from Wear your Praise; an online store that specializes in the sale of Christian apparel and I do love inspirational graphic tees because they can be dressed up or down. I paired the tee with this cut-out hem midi skirt I purchased from Ann Taylor and completed the look with red fringe sandals. The touch of red in the graphics and the red sandals helped to pull the whole look together.

Emerald Green blouse.

These pics with a couple of things wrong with them are way, way old...lol. I found them in my photo archives and I know the reason why I never blogged them right away. The pics were taken on a windy day last Summer and the wind almost yanked me away like a balloon in my blown up blouse. My darling photographer who must have been one of my kids never even bothered to tell me to tuck in properly. Then, there is that face I make when I am trying so hard to strike a pose...lol.

Anyway, I am no model; nothing is perfect and any excuse is fine so long as we keep on trying..lol. I am going to keep putting up the pictures here good or bad until I get better at striking a pose or whatever..lol.

Blouse: Loft / Pants: Forever21 /Pumps: VS Shoes (Old) /Bracelet: Jcrew Belt: Loft

Congratulations to everyone of us that is still in the Blogosphere after so many years especially the Mommy bloggers. Passion is indeed everything. A big thank-you to everyone who stops by my space to show some love and express positive vibes. I just did a blog design make-over after I recovered from a mini blogger's vacation, recession or Writers' block...whatever you want to call it...lol. Now, I am ready to keep the posts rolling again but I would start by blogging more less than perfect pictures from my archive one day at a time.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Style Icon: Victoria Beckham

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you would have known by now that my admiration for Victoria Beckham is real because she is the only celebrity apart from Michelle Obama that I have blogged about multiple times. Her sense of style is out of this world as she wears and own every look effortlessly. I never get tired of scrolling through her pictures online. As Fall get's closer, I am definitely stalking her pics/videos for some Fall fashion inspiration.

Victoria Beckham (VB, as some refer to her) is popular for her signature pose, oversized glasses, structured coats and solid color hue. However, whenever she steps out in florals or stripes, she looks just as impeccable. Below are some of my outfit inspiration for Fall.

Fashionista aside, VB is also an inspiration in the way she handles herself in the public eye, her family life and her strong business empire. If any lady can be in the spot lights for so long and still manage to look this great while keeping every other thing around her together, she deserves an applause. **insert clapping hands emoji here.
