Memorial Day Shopping and Travels

Since Memorial weekend is coming up, may I present to you my patriotic ode for America , an American flag inspired outfit. I know , I am such a dork . I just love the combination of the colors red, blue and white. Speaking of memorial weekend , we don't have any big plans, we will just have few people over for barbecue at the patio and swimming in the pool ( if its warm enough ). I looked up for the forecast this coming Monday and it is only on the upper 60s F. I hope it gets warmer than that.
Since memorial weekend is a 3 day weekend, most people go on a short vacation , a camping trip , backyard barbecue , park or beach picnic and also shopping. Memorial weekend shopping is awesome, a lot of stores put a lot of their products on sale. Its almost like black Friday for me. So if you plan on shopping online or in-store, here are some coupon codes for some few stores I am affiliated that are having memorial day sale.

Nothing says Summer, like Getaways with sandy beaches , sight- seeing and relaxing poolsides. We've had a beautiful last couple of days in Michigan  besides some impromptu downpour. If its going to be nice, I think I might go lay by our pool , close my eyes, have a glass of pina colada and pretend I'm in Negril, Jamaica.

Summer Trend : Skater romper

 

Hi beauties ! One of the perks of being petite , is that you can wear a mini dress without having to worry about being too short on you, like when you bend a little and your behind is exposed , unless your intention is to do a bend and snap ( remember the movie Legally Blond ). First impression , you think this is a dress , nope , its a culottes. So its a skater style romper. I love that its a culottes because you don't have to worry when the wind blows off your skirt, the only thing that gets me when wearing rompers is that you have take  everything down in the restroom , except your bra if you have one on. So its pretty awkward to be almost all naked in public restrooms , really. Sometimes when wearing rompers, I limit my intake on any sorts of drinks , to limit my bathroom trips. I know, you will end up dehydrated or worst kidney problems. Anyway, I don't wear it every single day and I just only went out for dinner, not an all day escapade. So it wasn't a big deal for me. They should make rompers that have little snap on buttons, like baby onesies, so it's easy when you are ready to go lol. It's just a thought. It was pretty windy at that day, so I figured this  blazer will do a good job in keeping me warm , I also love that its floral and very colorful.

Love , Mommy ( A Mother's day special )

 My dear beautiful children ,

 

Since you came into mommy and daddy's  life , it was love at first sight. The first time I held you , I know its going to be a magnificent beautiful journey ahead of us. Ever since then , you stretch and challenge me in so many ways that I could not imagine before. When I was still going  to dental school and doing my internship. I had this silly crazy idea that ,when I'm going to have a baby, I would stock up some gloves and mask , to use it every time I do my baby's poopy diaper. Just like when im doing a treatment to a patient. Little that I know before, that motherhood is totally different from what you thought It would be. The student in me before, never would have thought that a sight of a poopy diaper would bring me so much joy and calmness, just because you haven't poop for days. I didn't mind the mess as long as your healthy and will be ok. When I was pregnant with you Lucas, in preparation of your arrival I have been reading baby books and baby articles online. I was so happy and excited , as a first timer I was unsure of what to expect. Little that I know , that you my sweet boy will just guide me with ease , you were already a great teacher to mommy in so many ways and you didn't even know how to talk yet at that time. You're that amazing! Same as you my darling Livy, mommy thinks she "knows it all" already , little that I know, you have your own version too of surprising mommy with your girly twist , you remind me to slow down and  just calmly ride the change of  life. As each of you growing each day, adapting accordingly to  each of your own milestone, mommy at times  get caught in between on certain circumstances. I strive to get things done . I rush on my own demands .

 My patience is being tested. I strive to fight frustration.

 Just by the look of your eyes, you remind me to take it easy, and don't let vulnerability gets me so easily.  You are both my inspiration , you give me  the strength  and the reason to live. You both are my purpose in life.

 

 Mommy and daddy are blessed and so proud of you both, just for being here in this world. That alone, you already made such a beautiful and meaningful impact in our lives . As you both grow up and evolve each day doing your day to day things in life moving towards the direction in achieving your dreams and there are times you will get confuse about life. Remember this, you are special , you're beautiful and you mean so much to many.

 

I love you so much my Bing-bing and my Tinkerbell.

 

Love,

 Mommy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Laidback weekend style : Vintage Floral

Hi lovelies ! One of my penchants for  this summer are florals with a vintage look . Bold bright florals and graphic prints are going to be big this season. I have seen them a lot everywhere now . So to join in the floral bandwagon, Im wearing this vintage floral shorts with a lace embellishments on the sides ,you cant go wrong by pairing it with lace sheer shirt. This is my  " mommy uniform" this summer season. When I tag a long my kids anywhere, I have to stay as comfortable as possible. So  I opted for loose clothing and flat heeled soles. Im big a fan of loose button down shirt ,  as a mother of two, its my go to piece of clothing, aside from being comfortable, its trendy too, I just have to play around with colors and prints.

 

This post is also my ode to floral for Ifb project #94

Hi beauties ! I am always a big fan of prints on prints . Its been out for awhile now but I began first noticing it since spring of 2011. I have seen it a lot on fashion blogs and magazines. It wasn't so much back then or maybe it was just me ? Anyhow , the style draws my attention. I think it such an artistic and playful ensemble. I love how other street style bloggers ,editors and stylist execute their artistry on putting their outfits together. This style is like a hit or miss , whether you love it or you  hate it.

Hi beauties ! Summer is getting closer and our temperature is getting higher here in the Midwest  . Its going to be on the 70's starting this week . I am so excited to finally be wearing skirts and dresses again ,without having to cover my legs with tights or stockings. So did you already start stocking up for the latest summer trends on skirts and dresses ?
Spring-summer fashion shopping CHOIES select for you! 

 

Choies is a one stop trendy fashion apparel store. They offer various products like dresses, skirts , shirts and tops, shoes , handbags and accessories. All of them are very trendy and inspired from the latest streetstyles and runways. So if you are a fashion savy like me Choies is the perfect place to shop all your fashion needs. This summer I have a penchant for retro-like textured printed dresses and bold bright floral dresses. I love the style that has mixtures of prints  because it is unique and eye catching. Its very artistic too, to have mixtures of different prints and textures in one apparel or an outfit. I think it adds character to a look. Another trend that I'm drooling on is the assymetrical culottes that I  showed above. I love the overlapping style, the assymetrical hem, the simplicity,versatility and the edginess that it brings of this skirt. Im so inspired of minimalism look right now and this skirt is perfect to achieve that .

 

You don't have to sacrifice your wallet for fashion because Choies have affordable trendy products, shipping si free worldwide with no minimum purchase, and they have promotions time to time. Right now they give you $15 store credit just for signing up ! How cool is that.
