Oxfords and Duster..




Hi Friends, I hope you are all enjoying this awesome friday. The weather has been so beautiful over here lately except for the occasional rain now and then which is also not really a bad thing. I love it when it rains especially when it rains at night; don't you?

This is what I wore to run some errands today; I stopped by at the DMV (Department of Motor vehicles) to get new tabs for my car and this annual chore is just another reminder of how fast the time flies these days. I do not know if it is because we spend a lot of time on our phones and computers and are not really aware of the passing time or we are just extra busy these days that we do not have time to pause and reflect; whatever it is, the time is flying faster than before or maybe the days have gone shorter?...:-).








Well, It's a casual friday because I do get fridays off work these days and friday is the perfect day to dress up in jeans and do stuff or errands. This hooded tee that has spent about two years in the closet and this cropped jeans that was purchased recently from LOFT made a very good pairing today and what else to ground the look than this pair of crown vintage Alexis oxfords. The light duster coat was very essential today too because it was windy and just a tad cold.

If you have been following my blog or seen old posts, you might have noticed all the snow covered backgrounds but everything is all melted now and the trees and plants are blooming. Such a marvelous sight. You cannot help but wonder at the awesomeness of God when you spend some time in nature.


Duster Coat: Talbots
White hooded tee: Victorias secret
Bucket bag: J Crew-currently on sale
Cropped Jeans: LOFT
Oxfords:  DSW: currently on sale for $9.99
Hat: old









I hope you all would be able to pause too to reflect and enjoy nature even if it is only for a few minutes at the park like I did; and if you can, take some pictures too. You'll love to look at the beautiful pictures later on especially when all the leaves fall off the trees again and everything dries up and shrivels like it does in the fall. Also, do not forget to give God thanks for his great works and awesomeness.

Psalm 147: 7-8



Sing to the Lord with grateful praise;
    make music to our God on the harp.
He covers the sky with clouds;
    he supplies the earth with rain
    and makes grass grow on the hills.
He provides food for the cattle
    and for the young ravens when they call.
10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11 the Lord delights in those who fear him,
    who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Shoe Lovin'




LFL Elektrik Pumps...














   


                                                                             HERE and HERE


Yours Sincerely here has a beautiful pair of shoes that is getting her excited and it is this faux snake print pumps from LFL. I am not familiar with the designers and I'm thinking they are new but they are creating very affordable pumps for the stylish lady. The prints on the shoes featured above are so pretty and kind of looks like tribal print fabric and they are my favorite design in the collection I saw online. They are so affordable too and come in beautiful colors and prints; no wonder they are selling out fast everywhere. The only con about this pretty shoes is that they are not real leather but who cares? **eyes rolling**....:-). These shoes are proof that shoes do not have to cost a ton to be beautiful and stylish.

It's the season of florals and in creating my Mother's day outfit collages, I decided to add a floral piece into every outfit; the floral romper in the first collage, the floral dress in the second and the floral pumps in the third. I also added an unexpected piece to all the outfits; the chevron print clutch in the first, the army green blazer in the second and the striped blazer in the last. 

Mother's day is a day to dress up and be feminine and chic. If dresses and rompers are not your thing and you want to be a "Tom-boy Mum" on Mother's day by wearing oxfords, brogues and denim, it is okay too so long as you are happy and confident in what you wear. Let's celebrate ourselves, our moms, grandmas, sisters and Aunts everywhere.

Mother's day is around the corner and there is still time to get Mom something special. This is my gift guide in order of favorites. My first choice of gift for any occasion is always a greeting card accompanied by a gift card; gift cards can be purchased for almost anything today; spas, clothes, movies, vacations. My favorite is the Visa gift card which can be used for anything just like money. Yeah, give Mom a visa card of $5,000 or a check; let her charge it towards whatever she fancies;  she deserves it!...lol. Every other gift can follow after that...

Gingham Blazer





Hi Friends; I hope we all had a great weekend; mine was pretty exciting and to know what I was up to over the weekend, just check out my previous posts. Spring is such a beautiful time of the year and with with all the plants and flowers blooming, being outdoors is a must. I was in such an awesome mood today because of all the beauty I saw in nature and because I was putting on my new gingham blazer I got from Macy's. This blazer is so pretty and trendy that it quickly sold out; in my neighborhood Macy's at least. I know there are lots of similar designs online right now because gingham prints are trending.

I paired the blazer with this buttery yellow pants from Loft and yellow is such a trendy color right now too..win! win!! what I love most about this outfit though is the blazer because it is very appropriate for the weather due to the light weight fabric and short length and the belt which can be tied as an obi belt. Macy's is currently having a 25% sale off blazers with the code FRIENDS. So, go check it out.







                                                                Blazer: Macys'
                                                                               Pants and white tee: Loft

Since yellow is on trend, you will be seeing more of this pant on the blog this season and maybe this coat again...haha...:-). I wish everyone a great week and a lovely season.
