Hello, loves! I just wanted to make a quick pose. I am doing a last minute pack for my families vacation trip to states. I literally only have a couple hours left to finish packing but I don't seem to have the concentration do it. So, I'm taking a break and blogging instead.

Anyhoo, I want you to introduce to my LWD (a.ka. Little White Dress). I got this dress from the last sale zara had (winter collection). It took me awhile to post this because when I bought the dress, it was two sizes bigger than my usual size. Last week I finally got a chance to mend it and do some alterations. What I like about this lwd is that it is just incredibly versatile, with the blank-canvas hue and a classic shape that will last for multiple seasons. I'll be able to dress up or down and accessorize this dress in a ton of different ways. Obviously, I added this to my luggage and I can't wait to re-style it!

Thank you for visiting!

Hello, world! Yes, it's been a while since my last post. I was hibernating so I could bring more storms to you...I mean more outfits! ;) Last weekend we went to the "Edge of the World." It's a popular desert park near riyadh. I loved the place, it was peaceful and the views from the top of the cliff are breath taking. When we went there, it was already over 100 degrees. It was extremely hot! We are planning to go back again in the fall/winter season when the weather gets cooler.
Wishing you all a happy monday and a great week ahead! :)

Mint + Floral

Happy hump day! In a few blinks the weekend is almost here! Anyhoo, for my outfit post today, I'm wearing the sleeveless top that my mom brought me as pasalubong (gift). Look at the pretty floral prints on it! Mom knows I love anything florals (she's just the sweetiest). I paired it with this minty color jeans that I got two years ago (last seen here). This gorgeous pale hue is a trend that is easy to wear, and flatters every skin tone. I'm glad that it's making a comeback again this year!
 What are your thoughts on this color trend? :)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi, loves! My family and I spent the weekend with some newly found friends.One of my husbands coworkers took us to see these unique creatures up close and personal. I have to confess that at first I judged them by their looks. I thought they would attack us for thinking we're intruders to their home/habitat but they were very calm. I was more concerned about my son falling off the cliffs where the baboons lived. I noticed it's only the mom baboons with their children that were aggressive. They kept their distance from us, though. These baboons seemed like they were already used to humans, as if they knew that we were there to bring food for them. They were pretty gentle as you can see in the pictures. My son handed an apple to one of them. We brought a lot food for them because we knew there were lots of them. I must say it was one of the better experiences I have had here in KSA so far.

Hi, everyone! If you are following me on instagram you probably already know about my weekend. I was able to meet President Barack Obama! Yah, I know, pretty lame right!? I was actually "forced" to attend the meet and greet, I was not excited at ALL when I got the invitation. I did not spent many hours in front of the mirror practicing greeting him. I did not wake up early to be one of the first in the line. Oh, wait...I DID do all of that!  I waited in line for almost five hours to shake the Presidents hand! I don't think I need to elaborate more on what had happened, the pictures say it all! I'm probably the last person you know that knows anything about politics, but I have to admit that it was one of the most exciting days. Who would have thought that I would get to shake hands with the President of United States!

The spring is here and the summer is near as the saying goes. It feels like we're getting both seasons right now. It poured rain this morning and it's around 90 degrees. Nevertheless, I'm still excited about the season change,  It's time to say goodbye to dark tones and hello to bright, vibrant color, "swing-y" skirts and floral prints like the one I'm wearing here. Yup, you'll see a lot of  what I mention in my next posts (I'm warning you :)). Happy first day of spring everyone!

Hi loves! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. This outfit was supposed to be for a road trip to celebrate my and my husband's wedding anniversary. Unexpectedly, my son and I suffered a nasty cough and cold with a high fever over the weekend. I had cancel everything we had plan and decided to stay home with our little one. My husband and I ended up celebrating our anniversary with a pizza and wine.. (awww.. hubby knows me so well) Pizza is always my favorite with any occasion! :)

Houndstooth is one of my favorite for the fall and winter trend. What I love about it is that it is a classic and timeless pattern. Although there are other colors are used on houndstooth on this look I stuck to most commonly used, the black and white. The next time I wear this kind of print I'll try to make many different styles (add some bright color perhaps).
I'm trying to cram in as many winter outfits as possible before spring officially hits. But, with the temperature almost in the 90s in Saudi, I think this will be the last time I'll be wearing layers. and maybe the last for winter trends too? I could use some snow right now! anyone willing to send me some, any body? :D.

Thank you very much for the visit and I wish you all a great week ahead!

Here in KSA, the winter season feels like spring weather some places in the states. The temperature is warm and it is dry, ranging from 50-80 degress with a slight breeze. That's why I love this kind of outfit. Bare legs, but I can add a blazer depending on how it feels outside. For this weather, I matched it with yellow. For me, nothing says "springtime" like this yellow skirt :).

I wore this outfit out to a meeting last week to a fancy location where I didn't have to wear an abaya. I say fancy because the meeting was with a high level person at my husbands work. The meeting was intended for family members. With my surprise, some of the other ladies in the meeting were wearing jeans... I think some were even wearing sweatpants! I was so dressed up, even the guard greeted me with a warm smile and said "GOOD MORNING, MADAM." I emphasize that greeting because I don't get that a lot here in Saudi Arabia :-/. Looking at this outfit, I would think I was going to a meeting on fashion event and not about household stuff, lol.
