Yellow Color Coat + blanket Scarf





Happy Wednesday friends; first of all, I'll like to apologize for the quality of the pictures in this post. When you have your little kid as your professional photographer, this is what happens...😂 However, I'm sure if you squint a little bit more, you'll be able to see the outfit I'm wearing...😂 Okay, I'm just kidding!! If anything, I'm quite sure you can see my mustard color coat though. It is an old piece I whopped out of my closet on a freezing afternoon. I threw a blanket scarf over it, paired the whole look with a dark denim pants and over the knee boots and I was out the door; definitely casual at its best.

Hey! I must say too that the blanket scarf is the best thing to happen to fashion lately. To say the truth, it does elevate winter fashion to a whole new level. A blanket scarf wrapped around your neck or thrown over your shoulders keeps you warm and stylish all the time. If you live in the temperate region, make sure you get a couple of them in great colors or print; usually, they look more stylish when they have a plaid or grid print (in my opinion). This freezing temperature is not going to take the fashion or style out of me. All my colorful coats and blanket scarfs are out of the closet and would be taking their turns this winter. See you in the next fashion post; *Kisses...*

Bundle up in fur and boots.





So, it is still very cold in my neck of the woods; extremely cold in fact but we are troopers in the state of Minnesota and we know just how to bundle up when the temperature goes extreme. This outfit featured here is what I wore to a Christmas party with my hubby during the Christmas holidays.

 It was an extremely cold evening the day of and I wanted to be cozy and chic. It was not a black-tie event so I knew I wanted to put on a somewhat casual outfit. I picked this bodycon knit dress and draped a faux fur stole across my shoulders then strapped on a belt. 'A very easy outfit to put together at the last minute. I purchased the faux fur from a fabric store in my neighborhood a couple of years ago and it's always a handy accessory during the cold winter months. My Chinese Laundry over the knee boots completed the look. A bit of color variation in the accessories; brown belt, black boots; but all the colors came together with the addition of the fur stole. I did have fun at the party by the way and hubby was super pleased with the outfit.

Styling tip 101- "It is okay to bundle up when it is extremely cold but never, ever lose your edge and chicness." Also, invest in very good shape wear or under garments if you are going to wear a bodycon dress.

Winter Whites



So, the first post on the blog this here is a fashion style board on winter whites. Whites is a color that does not have any season these days because it can be just as fabulous in the winter as it is in the summer depending on how you style it. I do not wear whites that much in the past but I think that is going to change this year starting from a white color themed baby shower I'll be attending in a couple of weeks. Here is to some styling inspiration for winter whites this season...



 

 




 



The main tip to consider when styling whites or building a monochromatic look is playing with textures; mixing knits, faux fur, sequins and fun accessories like pearl necklaces and crystal earrings. The goal is to look chic and elegant when wearing a monochrome look. When not styled right, a monochrome styling of winter whites can end up looking like a uniform. Another tip is to mix shades of the same color or add in a pop of color with an outer coat. Happy styling...

Beauty Post






Happy Friday Friends; just a quick post on here  as I do some tiding and put some finishing touches on the blog. Yes, I am cleaning house on here too; deleted some drafts that never got revised and did some editing on those which I'm preparing for next year and this post here is one of such. My intention for the new year is to add some "beauty product review posts" on the blog every now and then; nothing major though because I do not have any expertise in this field. I'll only share any new product I'm interested in or intend to try.


Presently, I use beauty products from some of the brands pictured here; Mary Kay and Victorias Secret and I'm happy with them so far but willing to try some other products in the new year. So, do not be surprised when you see a post or two on beauty products in the coming year. What about you; do you clean house and do some editing in and around the house or on your blog before the new year?

The year in review - 2016


 


So, 2016 is almost over and this post is a review of most of the looks that were featured on this blog during the course of the year. In the previous years, I'll do a summary every quarter but I was not able to do so this year so, this post is pretty long and picture heavy. I tried to break down the outfits into different categories to make for easy viewing but I was not able to link each photograph to the original post. Thanks so much for your readership and support on here and I wish you all an amazing 2017.
