Hi! As you reading this I'm probably thousands of feet up high by now. I'm on my way to the Philippines where I was born and raised. It's been a long time since I last visited my family and I really miss them so much. I especially miss my Mom, which is the main reason for my visit. My Mom has been having issues with her health lately.  It's the main reason why I've been stressful for the last couple of months and not blogging that much. I'll be flying with my son, it's going to be his first time to the Philippines. Its also going to be his first time meeting my side of family in person so, this is going to be an awesome reunion for us.

Ta-ta for now! I'll respond to all your messages when I get back :).
Xo,
Amor

Gold + Green / Happy Mother's Day!

Outfit all ZARA: Top Pants Shoes Necklace-gifted Watch- Coach Flowers- from my two boys :)

Hi, lovelies! First, let me greet all the incredible mothers out there a Happy Mother's day! As far as celebrating mother's day, I already celebrated a few days ago. Because it's mama's day, mommy got to request for anything, (right, moms??) :). I only requested something simple. I wanted to eat in a buffet restaurant..hehehe.(see my instagram pic HERE). My dear husband took me to not just a regular buffet resto, but a "I wanted to throw-up when I saw the BILL" kind of restaurant. LOL just kidding! It was all worth the price well, I made it worth and spent there for three hours :). Although we already celebrated two days ago, my two boys still surprised me with gifts and flowers today :), they're just the sweetest ever!

Why we celebrated two days early you may ask? Well, here in Saudi,  Thursday and Friday are the weekend and Saturday is the start of the week. Yup, this is one of the many quirky aspects of Saudi life that I'm trying to get used to.

Again, Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers!  I hope you enjoyed this special day! And to everyone else, I hope you had a wonderful day with your moms and made more great memories with her.

Thanks for visiting! Have a glamorous day!
Xoxo - Amor

Hi, there! I'm back! First of all let me thank you so much who wished me luck on my last post. And yes, my family and I are here in Saudi Arabia already, we made it safely! We arrived here a couple days ago, so we're still adjusting. I'll put a separate post about us living here in Saudi, right now all I can say is that it's a very interesting place.

Onto my outfit, this was taken on Easter day. We got lucky to experience the spring weather for the last time before leaving to Saudi. And of course I didn't let the chance pass to wear some of my favorite spring colors for 2013.

By the way, as some of you may already know,  Google is closing Google Reader soon. But not to worry, because Bloglovin is here to save the day! So if you're following me on Google Reader, you might want to switch to Bloglovin and follow me (HERE) to get the latest update on my post.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Hi, there! As I mentioned on this post, we'll be moving next month to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia due to my husband's job. For a personal style blogger like me, this could be a nightmare. Just a little info about Saudi Arabia, other than women are not allowed to drive in Saudi, women also MUST wear a long Abaya. They wear the abaya over their normal clothes and as well as a veil over their hair when they leave the house. You can google it further if you're interested. Even though the Abaya is traditionally worn by Muslim women, women in Riyadh must wear this overgarment when in public, even if you're not Muslim, or else you're going to get "questioned" by the Mutawa (religious police). However, the more I read books, watched documentary videos, and talked to other expat families about living in Riyadh, my worries and anxiety have kind of eased a little.

Wearing an Abaya, eh? No worries! My husband is my biggest supporter and encourager in whatever goal I may have, especially on my blogging. Because I was worrying about our move to Saudi and wearing an Abaya, my husband bought me this photo studio set last Valentine's Day so we can take my photos inside the house (talk about thoughtful husband :)). My husband and I have no knowledge about photography what so ever, so right now just bear with us until we learn the set up. For now, I'm asking you ladies (and gents?) to wish us luck on our BIG move!

Hello there! I hope everything is going well with you guys! Sorry for the lack of updates here lately. I was just a bit lethargic for the past couple of days/(weeks?). And right when I was fully charged and ready to blog again, my son got sick and, obviously, I was on extra-extra mommy duty.

If my last post here and here was taking baby steps in wearing leopard prints, today I'm almost ready to let out my inner beast (Roarrr!!) :D. I'm still a little hesitant of how wild this cardigan is, which is why I toned it down a little by wearing a black blazer over it. I was actually on the hunt for leopard print top when I found this one. I searched high and low before I finally found one...in the kids area. Yes, ladies! I'm guilty of shopping in the kids section (not just for my kid!), but ONLY when I see something that will suit my style....like this cardigan (kids size 14 about equal to a 0/2 adult size). How about you guys did you ever shop in kids section for your own clothes?
