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!

Xo, 

Amor

FALLing in-love

I was wearing: Sweater- Target Skirt- (old) LOFT (similar here) Bag/Shoes(old)- ZARA (similar here and here)

Hi Loves! So, It's officially fall! Even though this is only my second time to experience the fall season, by far it's my favorite time of year. After a hot summer, finally the weather begins to cool off. I love the leaves changing color from green to red, yellow, orange and purple. I see pumpkin and apples everywhere, I see neighbors decorating their front yard with flowers, scarecrows, halloween and thanksgiving... well, I can go on and on all day why I love fall season :).

On to my outfit! When I see this sweater at Target, I knew I needed to have it. There's a number of reasons why. First, I love the color! Second, it's a sweater perfect for fall. And last but not the least, it's my name on it.. well, not EXACTLY my name but the MEANING of it :).

How about you guys what do you like about the fall/autumn season?

Hi lovelies! How are you guys today? I've been a fan of white pants because of their ability to modernize and freshen up summer outfits, but I'm always a bit scared to wear them. Well, it's because I don't know if I can pull it off, and I'm worried that they'll get stained even before I get out of the house (yes, I'm looking at you my 3 years old son!). Anyhow, thanks to pen bleach, just in case!. I have had these pants for a long time.  Last weekend was the first time I was brave enough to wear them :). For a relaxed vibe, I paired these pants with orange knitwear and leopard print accents.

By the way I just want to give you guys a heads up. I might not be able to post as much because of my family and I are busy getting ready to pack. We're moving to DC in the first week of September and after six months we'll be moving again somewhere in the world. Right now only God knows where my family and I going to be stationed! Although we don't know yet what country we're going to be in, I'm really taking it in a positive way. I'm excited to see different countries, meet new people and learn their cultures..and of course you guys will be able to see too because I'm going to blog about it :).  Cross your fingers for us that we get to go to a good country!

Oh and I've reached 200+ subscribers! Thank you very much for all your support! Xoxo

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

Hello lovelies! How's the week treating you so far? Myself, I've been pretty good. Sorry for the long silence here. Ever since my family and I got back from our road trips I've been catching up with my household stuff and other errands that I left behind. I still have some outfits to show from my road trip but I'll skip to that for now since I can't find my other sd card :(. Today I'll share you guys the outfit I wore when I and Hubby went for a dinner date last weekend. The skirt is actually almost a year old. I bought this skirt last year and it was just hanging in my closet remaining unworn 'til last weekend. What do you think of my dinner date outfit?

Thank you so much for visiting! Have a nice day! Xoxo

HI, lovelies! Sorry for haven't post anything for the last couple of days. My family and I have been on a road trip for the past few days (and we're still going!).  I'll be posting my road trips outfit soon. For now, I'll be featuring my cousin Jazzy in this post. Jazzy is an amazing, talented young lady. She also does a lot of DIY, arts and crafts and, like me, she likes to share her personal style. To show you how creative she is, this picture is from a party last week. They had a camouflage theme. She made this cute tank top out of a regular t-shirt, isn't that so cool? She doesn't have blog YET but you can definitely check out her twitter account HERE.  You could also follow her on Instagram HERE

Thank you so much for reading! Have a great day! Xoxo
