Vacation (Part 1)

Hi loves, I'm back! Before anything else I would like to greet everyone a very Happy New Year! I hope you had a great holiday and enjoyed being with family and friends.

I went to Guam for a vacation and family-visit a couple months ago, I just got back in Dec. These long overdue photos from my R&R are some of the activities my family and I did. There's quite a lot of pictures but I'm only showing half of it. Forgive me for the late update!  As you may know, coming from a vacation it is very difficult to get back into the swing of things (mostly if you had an awesome time). Going back to the kingdom is very hard for me especially because there's really nothing to look forward to during the holidays. Christmas has always been kept under wraps in Saudi. Expatriates had a holiday party but, that's about it. You can't really feel that there's a special season coming. Anyhow, I survived my first Christmas here in the kingdom! So, here I am reminiscing about my last vacay. Here are all pics, enjoy!

Here is one of the attractions we visited. This is place called the "Two Lovers Point" or "Puntan Dos Amantes."  Theres a lovely story behind the  place, which you can read about HERE

3 ways to wear (Shift Dress)

Hi, loves! I am back! First of all I wanted to thank all of you who wished me luck on my last post. Just a little update about my mom, she's doing fine now. Hopefully her papers will be complete before the end of the year. If all goes well, she will be staying with me for as long as she wants.

Any how, back to the focus of this blog! Since I was absent for a long time, I decided to make it up to you guys. Here's my 3 ways (I know it's been a while since the last one). To recap, the 3 ways is about how to take a single clothing item and maximize it into 3 different outfits. This post is for some of you planning to go vacation (like me). Since I'll be going to a city, I chose a shift dress that I can layer to accommodate different types of activities I am planning to do. 

Outfit 1: Dress (out of stock) similar here Promod Skirt (Philippine brand) similar here Mango Sunnies Topshop Purse LV Sandals: Zara

First, I will probably check the local attractions. This mean lots of walking and pair of flat sandals is essential. And of course, you've got to protect those beautiful eyes from sun rays while checking out the local souvenir stores.

Outfit 2: Dress Promod Demin Vest & Purse Target Wedges similar here Mango Touch

Second, shopping, shopping and shopping did I say shopping yet? Yup, checking out the shopping places is a must :). On this one, because the dress is tiny bit body hugging, I added a denim vest and a pair of wedges to make the look casual and not too "sexy" for day time.

Outfit 3: Dress Promod Jacket (old) similar F21 Necklace flea market from Philippines Clutch DIY Shoes (old) similar here Zara

Third, of course if you're travelling with loved ones, a group of friends or, in my case, with Hubby, you have got to have a night out. To try the local restaurant, night club or whatever is the "night out" means for you. I added black jacket, black heels and because the rest of my outfit is simple I let the necklace do the statement.

There you go, one dress, 3 outfits. Remember, packing and outfit planning ahead of time is the key to making the trip easy and simple. How about you guys, how do you plan your outfits when traveling?

Thanks for visiting!

Tunic Dress(old)-Thrifted Cardigan(old)-Zara Scarf-gift Belt-H&M Tights-Target Watch-Fossil Shoes(old)-Target

Hi, loves! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My husband and I took our little one to the Children's Museum last weekend. There's nothing brand new on this outfit except for the scarf that my husband got me from one of his trips last month. I'm actually wearing 4 layers here, thermal underwear, cashmere turtle neck which you can see (blue) peeking through the neck of my tunic dress, and a cardigan. I belted it so as not to lose my womanly curves and look like a rolled up ball. Oh, I also had a coat, but I took it off while we were strolling and taking pictures. I put it back on after the sun started to set and I couldn't handle the chills anymore. 

Thanks for visiting!

Hello there lovelies! How are you today? Right now I'm slightly obsessed! I've been scanning out what are the latest fashion trends and this trend on SPOTS has caught my eyes, I've noticed how they’re popping up everywhere! I spotted them all over the magazines, and other fashion blogs.  I can't resist this super cute trend and needed to try it on :). Although polka dots have been in and out of fashion for many decades,  I'm new to the trend. I started with these shorts from old navy for casual look  and to see how it's going to look on me...and guess what? I like the results of my my first attempt! :).  Probably later on I'm going to go a little bit daring with pants, dress or maybe bigger spots. I'm very happy that I added polka dot to my closet :). What about you guys, are you digging it?

What I wore: Top- Target
                      Shorts- (on sale) Old Navy
                      Necklace- H&M
                      Sunnies- Forever21

road trip outfit part 2

Outfit: Maxi-Skirt (worn as a dress)- Gap similar here and here Denim Jacket- Old Navy similar here Sunnies- Target Necklace- LOFT Bracelet- DIY Sandals- ZARA

Hello, lovelies! First of all I'm not pregnant (yet) I just wanted to clear that up! Why do I say that? Because that was the impression I got as I posted these pictures on my facebook page. My tip for you ladies, it's no no to maxi dress when you know there's a strong wind...  It can instantly make you look preggo (unless you wanted to look like you're pregnant), lol. This is my second outfit I wore on our second road trip. We took the ferry to get to the other side of WA. The ride was about 45mns. It was our first time riding the ferry and it was quite an experience for all of us. :-)

Before I forget, we're driving to Canada (Richmond and Vancouver in particular) this weekend. So, let me know if anyone knows of any good places to go while we're there (such as attractions, restaurants, shopping places, and also good place for 3 year old boy to explore).   I'm going with my family, so family friendly places, please! :-) Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much for visiting! Xoxo
