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!

Big Move

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?

Sorry about the poor quality, we're still practicing our night photography

Dress- Mango (sold out) similar here and here Belt- Zara

Hi, loves! Happy belated valentines! I hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones. I surely did! As I mentioned on this post, my husband and I celebrated valentines day in our favorite restaurant (a.k.a. the living room :)). 

On to my outfit, I'm wearing this dress that i got last year from Mango. I love how this dress has a classic silhouette, it flatters most body types. I've been waiting to wear this dress for a while now but I haven't really had an occasion to wear it.  Last thursday night, though, was the perfect occasion! Even though I felt very ladylike in my dress, it was a relief to slip into my PJ's right after dinner :).

Hi! I just realized that I haven't post anything for the past few days! so yesterday, right after work, my husband and I rushed to the park while there was still a few minutes left of sun light before it got dark. That's the only complaint I really have for fall/winter season day...days are too short! Today, the outfit I am showing you is my favorite, put together with basic necessities that I have in my closet (black pumps & trench coat). I think a pair of black pumps is one of the MUST haves in every womans closet. Lucky me, I didn't have to invest in these shoes,  they were a gift to me from my god-mother. What I love about these shoes, other than that they're classic and very comfortable, is that I can also pair it with just about any outfit I have...well almost. :)

Thanks for the visit! Have a glamorous day!

Xo,

Amor
