Mother's Day Weekend - One

I took these pictures right after a heavy dinner hence the bulging stomach...:)

On Saturday before Mother's Day, (Sunday) hubby and I went for a friend's birthday party/vows renewal. The couple celebrated and renewed 27 years of marriage and the wife/bride celebrated her fiftieth birthday. It was a fun filled night with lots of dancing and good food; yeah the food was good. The menu included rice, steak, chicken, baked potatoes, green beans, meatballs, fruit salad, vegetable salad, wine and all sorts of juice.

There was so much color around too as most of the guests were decked in colorful and beautiful attires. I wore this olive-gold sheath dress I bought from T. J Maxx a long time ago and accessorizes with wine and gold accessories. The weather was a little chilly so the jacket was very much needed to keep warm.

The pictures were taken with a camera phone so, they didn't turn out too great.

I love the heavy beading on this dress and on close up, it's actually gold and silver beading with sequins

I took spoonfuls of my food before I decided to take a pic. There is love in sharing..:)

Floral Jacket

Hi all, I hope all you beautiful ladies in the US are excited and ready for Mothers' Day tomorrow. For some ladies, it's a big event with lots of pampering and dinner dates and others just spend the day quietly. I do not know yet what group I'll fall in tomorrow but I know I'm grateful to God for his goodness in my life and making me a wife and a Mum to three beautiful Kids. Whatever is the case with you, married, single, engaged, Mum...just use the day tomorrow to thank God for the gift of life and find a way to appreciate all the dear ones around you.

Now to the outfit of the day, I finally put on the floral jacket I ordered from Forever 21 a couple of months back and blogged about here. And I'm not going to say I love it much; the colors are so bold! The jacket only cost $15.99 and since floral jackets are trendy right now, I'm glad I did not have to break the bank to achieve this look.

Since the colors in the jacket are very bold, I decided to keep everything else dark thereby allowing the jacket to stand out on its own. Although I do not like the bold florals of the jacket that much but I really do love the fabric; very soft and comfortable. I am still happy that I purchased the jacket though and I know it was a good buy. It's always nice to have a trendy piece. I do not like to be at the fore front of fashion trends and I also do not like to be the last one to get on the trend wagon. So, here is "Yay!" to scoring this trend while I explore others that I'm willing to try for this season.

Thanks so much for stopping here. Did you take a look at the Mothers' Day outfits in my previous post? Let me know what your favorite look is. I love all the three sets but I think the first set featuring the blue harem pants is my favorite. Thanks again for stopping by and for your beautiful comments.

     It's Mothers' day in a few days and since it is on a Sunday as always, I am thinking of putting on that very cute outfit for a special day that can transition from the Church Service to the after Dinner Party without any fuss. So, I went to Polyvore and created these sets; The perfect Mothers' Day outfit can be the harem pants with a cute peplum blouse and a boxy jacket and statement shoes or a simple skirt and blouse with some statement sandals or even a neutral dress, shoes and bag and colorful bold jewelry. Take your pick and "Happy Mothers Day!"

My Black and White- One

Hi all, I took a few days off from the Blog world and it seems like an eternity. Social networking is definitely addictive!...:) I want to say thanks to all the lovely friends that stopped by my last post to say hi and share their thoughts and comments.  I would be stopping by your blogs very soon to say hi too.

This is my first black and white outfit for the year and since I have several combinations of this colors in my closet, I will just style and tag them in numbers as I go. This sweater and pants combination I wore to see a friend a few weeks ago is my number one. I decided to throw in the wine satin pumps to break the look and with a few accessories, the outfit was complete.


 Do you guys know that it snowed in Minneapolis, Minnesota this morning, May 3rd? We had about one and a half inches of snow on the ground which melted in a few hours; thanks to the slightly warm temperature. The temps. were in the seventies last weekend and now we are back to the forties. Certainly, a roller coaster kind of weather.

Sweater: Deb Stores
White long-sleeved tee: Victoria's secret
Satin Pumps (Old): Victoria's secret
Purse and bracelets: Aldo


Have a fun and safe weekend and God bless.

Versatile...

Hi beautiful people, I'm back to say hi to every one in Blogs ville. Everything is starting to get back to normal here weather wise. I called the title of this post "Versatile" because I have on a very versatile outfit and also, I'm responding to the Versatile blogger Award nomination I got from Sasha D of magic in a cup cake. (click on the link to check out the nomination) I want to say thanks for the nomination and I apologize for the delay in getting to it. I like blogger's nomination tags because it's fun answering all those questions and coming up with questions too for others who get tagged in return. I got the Liebster Award nomination a few months ago and you can check out the post here and the conclusion here.

So, here are the rules..

• Thank the person who nominated you.
• Include a link to their blog
• Select 15 new blog/blogger you've recently discovered or follow regularly.
• Nominate those bloggers for a Versatile Blogger Award, leave a link to their page and a comment on their latest post to let them know they've been nominated.
• Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Here are seven fun facts about me:

1. The one beauty product I absolutely cannot do without is the chap stick.

2. I love colorful shoes and shoes in general.

3. I love, love dresses! I wear pants and skirts just because I want to have a versatile look; ha! ha!

4. I love Art; writing, drawing, painting, photography and any kind of creative design.

5. I enjoy my own company a lot and would sometimes choose to be left alone because I'm able to recharge, meditate and do a lot of creative thinking when I'm alone.

6. I do not like noisy environment and I absolutely cannot stand loud music of any kind.

7. I am always looking for fun, interesting and creative ways to share my Christian faith with others.


* I am supposed to nominate fifteen other bloggers and tag them for this award however, most of the bloggers I visited  have the Versatile bloggers award on their blogs already. So, I'm just going to tag anyone who leaves a comment on this posting. IF YOU LEAVE A COMMENT HERE, YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED!!...:)

There you have it..:) I'm not such a complicated person, right?..:) Now, let's talk about this awesome versatile sweater dress I purchased from Victorias secret a while ago. If you have read a lot of my blog postings you will know that I do love Victoriassecret store a lot and that is because it is a "one-stop-shop." They have clothing, (for work, casual, play, gym, outerwear) shoes, beauty, intimates, swim and other fashion accessories all at once. And if you are a mummy like me who manages three kids, a husband, a job and school, you'll appreciate a "versatile store" like this...ha! ha! again!!...:)

Have you noticed that the neckline of this sweater dress can be worn in three ways? As a turtle neck, a hood and off the shoulders...tra.laa...

Watch out for my boots below!

Since Spring is taking its time to get here, I decided to beat the Winter blues by doing some musing on all the lovely Spring items I would love to have in my Closet. I'm thinking floral jackets, animal prints blouses, fuchsia accessories and a beautiful new hair-do and fresh make-up to go with it.

Snowed In...

It is April 19th and it's officially Spring but we just just got done cleaning up after another snow storm. It started yesterday afternoon and led to a lot of school closures and went on all through the night and ended in the early hours of this morning. I had a torturous drive from work yesterday as my usual forty minutes drive turned to one hour and forty-five minutes. There were lots of crashes related to the storm too and I just pray for all those that were involved. At this time everyone is just tired and some people are a little frustrated; snow lovers that we are! You have to love snow to live in Minnesota...:) We were just recovering from the storm that we had last week when we got hit by this one. Although the snow is over but it is very windy and the wind is blowing snow flakes all around. Also, thankfully, the temperature is in the upper thirties and relatively bearable.

Stepping out of the house; the poster behind me on the glass is the one we used for a church convention a while back. Do you see one of my kids peeping at me from behind the glass panel in the door?..:) Hubby got up early to clean the sidewalk and the driveway and this constant plowing of snow is what everyone in my neck of the woods has been dealing with for months. We are supposed to be enjoying the spring weather by now but it seems we are just going to go from the winter season into summer. I remember a couple of years ago

What to wear on a casual Friday

 

This is a styling inspiration for putting together a quick look for casual Friday. I created this look on Polyvore and the statement piece in the entire look is the grey pumps. The red blazer adds a pop of color to the look. Happy styling.
