Trends come and go and I have my share of fun with them but I always find myself going back to my first love, understated classics. A structured blazer, my favorite black jeans and a pair of boots, to me, define a classic outfit. The same goes for a color palette that includes camel, black and gold. They might not catch your attention at first glance but their timeless appeal always comes through as their understated elegance becomes apparent. Continue reading

On the Hunt for…Tan Boots
Born Roxie boots | Frye Parker boots | Born Selyse OTK boots
I am currently on a mission to find the perfect tan knee-high boots. It’s late in the game but in the beginning of the fall season, I tried to convince myself that I was all set with tall boots. I have a handful of go-to boots in different colors that I wear all the time. Since I already have a pair of tan boots, albeit outdated, I had been turning a blind eye every time I ran into a pair of tan boots online or at a store, or on a friend or passerby. Well, that didn’t last very long. The more I saw them, the more I just couldn’t stay away. And so my hunt begins… Continue reading
Outfit Highlight: The Fluffy Sweater
Happy Monday, everyone!
I have to be honest with you. It’s around this time of year, when chilly temperatures start taking over, that my level of energy and motivation slowly begin to wane. It’s a struggle to get motivated to do anything when it’s cold outside. I seriously just want to cuddle up under a warm and cozy blanket and drink hot chocolate all day. Continue reading
Outfit Highlight: Business on Top and Party on the Bottom
I bought these Anthropologie slouchy cargo pants a couple of months ago but never got a chance to wear them. I figured it would be now or never because the temperatures are dropping quickly, they’re predicting highs in the low 30s next week. Continue reading

Happy Monday!
Hope you all had a good weekend! Mine was busy as usual. Are weekends ever not busy? Between running endless errands, kickboxing, church activities, birthday parties and of course a little shopping, there isn’t much time for just chillaxing. One of the highlights of my weekend was meeting up with Ashley from Fancy Stuff & Pretty Things. We live like 5 minutes from each other but didn’t get a chance to meet in person until now. We definitely didn’t have a shortage of things to talk about, from our kids to traveling, food and of course, blogging. We were talking so much I didn’t even remember to take a selfie. I’m so bad at that. Maybe next time, and oh yeah, there will be a next time, soon. Continue reading
Pretty in Pink
I have turned down several offers for sponsored posts from kids’ clothing companies for various reasons but when I was approached by Mary Helen Clothing, I couldn’t turn them down after browsing thru their adorable collection of playtime wear as well as special occasion dresses. Each piece is unique and I fell in love with their use of different prints and textures. The attention to detail is apparent in all of their pieces. Continue reading
Outfit Highlight: Autumnal
Happy Monday, everyone!
The crisp autumn weather yesterday was perfect for picture taking and the perfect complement to my outfit that includes all of my favorite things about fall: fall colors, layering and plaid scarves. I’ve been wanting a camel blazer for a while and I was thrilled to snag this one from J.Crew when they were having a special sale. The fit and length of the Regent blazer are exactly what I’ve been looking for. The standing collar, which I wasn’t able to show in these pictures, gives it a clean and sharp look that I love in a blazer. Continue reading
