Purple Pantsuit + Graphic Tee

             թ urple is my favorite color and I cannot describe the level of confidence, joy and excitement that I feel whenever I wear the color purple. it's such a beautiful and regal color in my opinion. Some argue that the color is not meant for every skin tone and I say it depends on how you style it. I have added lots of purple color pieces to my closet in the last couple of months and I look forward to styling them piece by piece on the blog. This Outfit can be worn to almost any where with just the change of accessories; Church, Work, Weddings, Meetings...

Grey Vintage Dress + White Mules

        ᔑo the weather has been very nice in Minnesota lately but this is not going to be for long because we are expecting a snow storm Thanksgiving week according to the Weather Report. I'm really looking forward to the Thanksgiving break; snow or no snow. The Thanksgiving Holiday is the official kick off to the holiday season but I also never lose sight of the fact that everyday should be Thanksgiving. A grateful heart opens the way for more blessings.

Shoe Lovin' - Snake Skin Booties

ᔑnake skin booties have been trending for two seasons now and if you are still searching for the right pair, consider this pair here and another option here that would work great for styling many outfits. The sleek and simple design make it a great option to style grown up looks. And when I say grown up looks, I mean classy or polished outfits.

Fall Wish List

As seasons change it is important to update and refresh our wardrobe and this can be done by closet editing (donating old pieces and restyling basic essentials) and also revamping of wardrobes (the addition of new affordable pieces) I do this exercise at the beginning of every season by looking at the current trends and deciding on which pieces to add to my closet and what pieces to pass on.

Veering into Vintage

⺄t's been a while on here; it's been ages...haha! 😆 How has everyone been? Did anyone think for a minute that I was done with fashion blogging? I hope not! 😂 It's exactly four months and a few days since I published a blog post. I have been so busy behind the scenes. I had a very beautiful summer which culminated in a four day trip to Disney Land with the hubby and kiddos on the last week of summer, days before labor day.

What to wear to a Summer Wedding

Summer weddings are very fun and colorful and dressing up for one should be a breeze; think colorful dresses in florals or solid colors and fun accessories. I attended a Marriage Anniversary/Vow Renewal on Saturday and it was my first wedding event of the season; I usually attend a couple of weddings every year (no pun intended with *couple* 😊) It was a beautiful outdoor/garden ceremony with lots of beautiful guests and the reception was indoors. My next wedding invitation is scheduled for early fall so the outfit for that would definitely have a different vibe and color scheme. I cannot express how much I love weddings; they are always so beautiful and special; big or small.

Stripes for July 4th

Happy 4th of July! This is one of the favorite holidays of many because they are able to gather with friends and family or go on a nice vacation to somewhere beautiful. There is lots of eating; barbeques, grilling and fun activities associated with this holiday and then, there is the fashion. The July 4th holiday is one of the holidays that have themed fashion associated with it like wearing red, white and blue colors or wearing stripes.


This outfit in the collage above is to give some inspiration on what to style for the July 4th holiday if you want to wear stripes. The dress featured in the set is a pricey Carolina Herrera dress and a big splurge. To create a similar look, consider vertical stripes because horizontal striped dresses like the one above are not easy to find. J. Crew carries a lot of striped pieces and you might find a piece or two to dress up for your July 4th festivities. Check out some of my favorite picks in the links below and have a safe celebration.

Woven Bucket Bags

The "Bucket Bag" is still such a huge trend and this unique bag is more trendy now because of another trend; woven, wooden or straw bags. These trendy, organic and natural material (straw, wicker, bamboo, wood) bags are great for the environment and they come in different styles that can go with almost any outfit; gone are the days when straw bags were reserved for only the beach and picnics. If you love this unique shape of bag, check out the selections below.

Floral Culottes and my tip for styling a button down Shirt

Hi Friends, it's been a while. I have been taking these mini vacations from the blog lately; not my intention to do so but I am loving it. I have been having so much fun behind the scenes. The kids are home on summer break and we have been spending time together doing lots of fun activities which involves lots of eating too. If you notice, I have put on some extra pounds which I don't plan to keep on 😁 This outfit is what I wore to Church on Sunday for the Father's Day Celebration and I love how formal yet playful it looks. I have had this floral culottes for a long time now. I purchased it from Loft two summers ago along with this matching prints summer dress blogged about here.
