Paul & Joe

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

I’ve been a big fan of Paul and Joe ever since I discovered their brand a few years ago. Their clothes are feminine, chic and never overdone. I read that the brand is named after its designer Sophie Albou’s two sons. How sweet is that?

Tuesday Inspirations

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

First, I want to thank you for such caring and sweet comments on my last post. They mean a lot to me and I felt a lot better now! Do you guys find it easier to share your life on your blog? For me, I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining or whining about my life so I tend to keep personal details to myself. Sometimes I would feel overwhelmed with emotions though so I like to share but I learned to be careful with my words since once they’re published, they’re there forever.  What about you? Do you edit your posts or do you freely share anything you want to say? Straw hats, bright maxi skirts, stripes and a crisp white shirt. My summer wardrobe essentials.When I think of Oscar Dela Renta, the three Ps come to mind. Prim, Proper and Pretty. That’s exactly his resort 2012 collection looks. I love the idea of a bold-print maxi dress with an embellished cardigan. A matching stripes suit that is perfect for beach party. A polkadot strapless dress with a bright red shoes that will look amazing in summer fashion editorials. Oscar Dela Renta Resort 2012.Aren’t these looks impossibly chic? I love the idea of wearing one color head to toe with minimal but bright-colored accessories. Elie Tahari Resort 2012. Motel Summer 2011 lookbook. So fun and those shoes! Wow!

Eat.Drink.Love.

Monday, May 30th, 2011

I’m so glad I have this Monday off and I’ll be taking full advantage of it! To be honest, it has been a challenging week for me and I’ve discovered that people who you once loved weren’t the same people anymore. It was hard to accept it at first but it’s also a sign for me to move on and focus on my life completely.This morning, I’m dreaming of:
1. Traveling some place exotic.
2. Crunchy waffles with strawberries.
3. Driving around Paris.
4. Falling in love with someone.
Love how these JCrew staffers wore their khaki pants! More here.Aren’t these jewelry pieces amazing? They’re from Merle O’Grady Autumn/Winter 2011-2011 lookbook. More from his shop here.This is my outfit for the memorial day weekend party! 1. Denim Shirt $40.00 (HM.com) 2. Bolso Feminine Mint Bag (shop.weareselectors.com) 4. BURGUNDY GRADUATED LENS $474.00 (Janzandcooper.com) 5. J Crew Melanie paillette-embellished merino wool skirt $350.00 (Netaporter.com) 6. HINGISFO $99.00 (ninewest.com)

This article from Esquire titled “The ultimate male addiction: The crazy girl” makes me laugh and the comments are equally hilarious. For example ” Yes, women too fall for the loonie guys – unfortunately the crazy ones usually come in very very pretty packages”.  What do you think? Do you agree?I’ll be doing lots of eating, cooking delicious food and drinking (lots of fruity juice) this long weekend!

Wishing you an amazing and relaxing Monday! xoxoxoxoxo
