High Neck Green Jumpsuit

Hello loves!

Merry Christmas! I know, that was two days ago, but I finally sighted my computer and I'm holding my phone for longer than five minutes at a time.

Am I the only one that has a hard time keeping up with social during any holidays? Not like it is a bad thing, but when I have a full house with hubby and both kids and maybe some guest, I find myself struggling to balance it all and the first time that goes it usually phone, which means social media. Even calling or texting is challenging. There is usually just so much going on and I pretty much unplug from my phone to some extent. 

Anyway, as you can most certainly tell, this look was meant to go up on Christmas day but here we are two days later. As the saying goes, better late than never.  On that note, I am majorly behind on my Letters to Emmanuel and the boy in almost 13months. I need to do better.

Hope you're enjoying the holiday and break from work if you took some time off like me. If not, enjoy the short work week.

Silver Pleated Maxi & Pink Sweater

Hi Loves!

Christmas is less than a week away and you can imagine all the hustle and bustle that goes along with that. Things have been quite busy around here but we’re staying afloat. Excited this week will be my last in the office till next year…woohoo. The long break is much needed. What I will do with a whole week off, not exactly sure. But I imagine it will involve some much needed naps, maybe check a thing or two off my to-do list and I might just sit and stay awake long enough to finally catch up on some of the shows I used to watch. On the top of that list is This Is Us.

In other news, this skirt! I have been patiently waiting to wear it. It was a purchase while pregnant. That seems like ages ago now. I tried to wear it right after having the baby and it just didn’t look right. So, I am glad it now finally fits. Who doesn’t love a good maxi skirt? The added pleats makes it even more exaggerated and just so lovely. It flows beautifully and I love the overflow of the length. I thought it would be appropriate for a holiday look so I paired it with a comfy pink sweater. A combo that I can easily repeat and not get bored of. A similar version of the look here.

I hope you guys are having a great week so far and looking forwards to Holidays.

2017 Kids Holiday Style

Hi Loves!

It is that time of the year where I share my picks for holiday outfits for the little ones. In the past it has been just for girls. This year’s pick is special because it is for both boys and girls. I remember being pregnant the second time and secretly wishing it was another girl (we didn’t find out till he was born) but I couldn’t be happier and thankful for the outcome of the baby being a boy.

Before having a boy, I thought dressing a boy would be boring and challenging but I have found the opposite to be the case. I actually enjoy shopping for Emmanuel and dressing him, and if I might add, it may be easier than dressing a girl. There are endlessly possibilities with boys in ways you can mix and match their pieces. For girls, a dress is a dress. So, without further ado below are my picks for this year’s kid’s holiday style.

Birthday Weekend Recap :: RED

 I am officially enjoying my last year in my twenties. 
Months before my birthday, I had this idea of a peaceful getaway by myself to relax, sleep and recharge. Even if I stayed local, just away from the house and the usual. But, as my birthday drew closer, the normal family craze me slowly let go of that idea, thinking I’ll just spend it my family. We’ll do dinner or something along that line. I wasn’t even planning anything, was just going to go with the flow and I would have been even ok with not doing anything if it turned out that way.

Well, I’m glad I shared my original plans with my sister because a week to my birthday I had pretty much resorted to do nothing. But, she dived in and saved the day and I am glad she did. 

When I think about it now, this is my last year in my twenties. It should be celebrated and it should start and end with a bang, right? End of one decade and beginning of another.  My justification for not doing anything was, we’ll do it all for my 30^th. Well, that’s a year away and 29 is here now!

So, my sweet sister was going to surprise me and just show up, but knowing the kind of person I am, she asked a few questions that quickly debunked the surprise as I already made plans and scheduled an appointment for the kids the morning of my birthday weekend. No worries, because she quickly adjusted and still made things happen. 

This was a birthday to remember and a worthwhile celebration of twenties decade.

We had plans to start the afternoon getting pampered at the spa, but delayed flight interrupted that. So, we settled for movies, which was still a nice way to unwind after running around all morning.

 After movies, we checked into our hotel for the night where a  friend of mine joined us and it became a party of three. We glammed up and headed for a nice kid-less (I had to throw that in there) dinner. A quick change after dinner for comfort and we ended the night at a lounge.

On Sunday we got some extra beauty sleep, got some delicious brunch and while I was really enjoying all of this, I did miss my babies, so we headed home and spent the rest of the afternoon with the family before she left town.

It was a short but very beautiful and special birthday and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks to my  sister for coming through and to my dear friend for staying In town so she could join us.
Here’s to 29!
