2-days OOTD

Today's outfit and finally got a chance to take a pic of this new trench coat that I recently picked at Target. It's a Philip Lim for Target for only $29. 

Monday's outfit (03/10/2014):

Blanco

I've been obsessed with white lately. And I tend to wear it head to toe. Just make sure you have an arsenal of goodies like Tide Stick To Go or Shout Wipes To Go for any mishap. They are a life saver on so many occasion. 

Today's Outfit: white and tan.

Shirt, Jacket, and pant all from Forever21 purchased at separate times over the years.

Yesterday's outfit: Baggy Chic

Pant, H&M. Shirt, Forever21. Shoes, Merona for Target. Belt, H&M.

High Waters.

Finally got to wear my Aldo cutout wedge  out. Wearing high waters is the best way to show off these shoes. For the heel height, I was able to wear them for about 6-8 hrs pretty comfortably.

Sweater Weather

Found this sweater at Forever21 on sale for $15.99! One of the comfiest sweater I own. The silk sleeve and side panel with a quilted front is soft, comfy and stylish. I love how it looks aloof yet is pretty polish. Had on navy blue pants with knee high boots. 

Manicure Friday

I been wanting to get my nails done because my hands have been so dry and rough lately. I went in for a simple mani/pedi but I came home with stiletto nails and pink toes. Originally I just want natural nails with clear coat. 

I loved how my nails came put. I found a nail tech in my city that I noticed care and check her work. I asked for thin, not too pointy, not too long. Her patience really impressed me. 

Wednesday Olive Green/White

Year of the Horse

New pair to the collection. I love the translucent mint gum bottom.

Pleather & Mint

Make up for work today:

Peach/Black

Stripes with Kicks

Casual Monday because the company thought it was going to snow today.

Base.

I have finally found a BB cream-like product that I love. I have tried the Clinique and Smashbox brand for a few months each. It just seems that my skin didn't like either. Specifically to me, it broke me out. Clinique BB cream blended in much better than Smashbox but it always bothered me that it didn't blend flawlessly. 

In search of finding the right product, I decided to give Shiseido tinted moisturizer a try. And why didn't I do it sooner since my skincare routine consists of mainly Shiseido products. The lady at the counter told me that maybe it's the fact that my skin was use to Shiseido product. Hmmm, could be.

I really love how well it blends into face and leaves a pretty smooth not too dewy finish. Even better that it is SPF 43. The first step to battle wrinkles is protecting the skin from the sun. The tinted moisturizer wasn't too sheer but had enough color for some coverage but not full coverage. When I wanted more coverage I used Nars on top then set with Make Up Forever HD powder foundation finished with Urban Decay setting spray. I have a thing where I only like to do my face once for the day with only minor touch up through the day.

Products I've tried. Might be different for different people because we all have different skin type. 

Striped.

2-days

Today was hectic that I didn't have time to sneak for a mini photoshoot in the company'a bathroom. Dinner for a close friend's birthday and finally the opportunity for a selfie. 

Dinner was at Surf on Main Street in downtown Nashau, NH. Food was pretty much on point.

Sword Fish with fried egg on top.

Medallion steak/crab cakes on mashed potatoes.

Desserts:

Chocolate tort.

Caramel apple blondie with ice cream. Yum!!!

Tuesday's Outfit:

White on white. It's just so crisp and clean. Sweater was on sale Forever21 for $17.99 and pants on sale at Express for under $35. 

Moment of Truth

Can I say that I love and adore this store: www.opencloset.com.au

Just trying to find the right time (and cash lol) to do some shopping. The style is definitely up my alley. The feminine touch to a more modern cut. The balance of soft and hard. They carry some of my favorite brands like Cameo and FindersKeepers that I wish I could have. Soon though. I just had to share. It really made my night. They don't realize it but they just made this girl extremely happy and giving me more push to keep up with the direction of this blog. Thank you OpenCloset!!!!

Blooms

The Indian summer we had over the weekend gave us a sneak peak of warmer weather. I am so ready for warmer weather. The weather we had over the weekend inspired my outfit for work today. Finally a little color and some patterns to my ensemble.

Prepared

I forgot how setting out your clothes the night before can save so much time in the morning. 

Dark navy blazer with white piping, white shirt, and white pants = crisp. Stands out in this weather.

Black&Gray

Getting ready for work is hard enough so I make it as simple as possible. Stock my closet with as many black slacks, pants, jeans that look like pants and chinos. Don't worry I also have other color slacks but the most versatile are black ones. Because when you are running late, you can never go wrong with a pair of black pants. I preferably buy them straight legged, ankle-length or longer. Classic and timeless.They go with anything and any color.

Today was ehhhh day. So I grabbed a hi-low sweater that I bought from Forever21 awhile ago, jeans from H&M when they were on sale last year for $15 and gray shoes to color block and voila clean and crisp and ready for a business casual day at work.

Arts&Crafts

No outfit updates because I am not wearing anything spectacular due to the series of snowstorms we've been having.

On my down time this is what I have been up to. Planning my brother's baby shower and he is expecting a girl. It's going to be a butterfly and garden theme, very whimsical and pretty. Colors are pink and white with accents.

Was inspired by this card holder I found on Pinterest. I believe this is a David Tutera's creation. And it is just beautiful. I found this pic via pinterest awhile and have since lost its original website. 

Inspiration piece:

What I came up with based on the inspiration piece:

I like cherry/apple blossoms and the color is just so pretty.

Keep it simple.

Simple outfit for work.

Simple dinner tonight. Semi homemade. Store bought rotisserie chicken, veggies, wrap, and dipping sauce = springrolls.

Black&Gray

Black and Gray. Gray sweater, black pants, gray shoes. 

Sweater, H&M. Pants, Forever21. Shoes, Jacelyn from Aldo.

Brown Shoes

Awesome find today during my lunch break. Found these awesome brown suede wooden wedge shoes. Perfect height for work but chic enough to wear out. Would be nice if it was leather.

Zip it.

Zippers for days! Lol

A hoodie kind of day.

Snow Day: Black and White

So it snowed again. Hmmm, I'm a New Englander but c'mon now. I love snowboarding but driving through a snowstorm to and from work...not cool. On the plus side it's casual day because of the snow. 

The snow really brings out the chef in people. You want to be warm and crave comfort food. For today it's boiled crabs, thum-noodle and fried chicken.
