This was taken over the weekend when the weather was quite gorgeous.  It was sunny with  little breeze.  Today we have rain in the bay, which I don’t mind at all.  I love when it rains here and there, I kind of wish I ordered this cute umbrella last week though! 

So I decided to change my shoes because I decided to walk around since it was a lovely day.  These flats are one of my favorites because they really have such great soles in them.  I also love one of my newly purchased Crown Vintage wedges.  I bought about four pairs from this brand in one month! Yes, I need to stop and I will..hoping!  

Well, hope you all are having a great day! I leave with a friendship quote since it is one of my oldest closest friend's (we go way back) birthday...today! 

 “The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.” - Unknown

How was your weekend? I’m sure everyone wore their pretty pastels! I wanted to wear all of mine for sure!  But, decided on wearing my pastel green maxi dress with a blazer.  My mini-me had the cutest dress and sandals ever which I might post later.

Well, here is my OOTD.  The first time I saw this black and white floral skirt online I knew I had to order and it came really fast! Thanks to the fast online shippers at Forever21.com!  But I didn’t stop just buying online, I went to our store in SF and bought even more stuff! *sigh* I know I can’t deny, I am an addict to Forever 21.  I can’t help it, they have so much sheer and romantic pieces! Rory Beca has such a cute line! One of which has watercolor prints.  They ran out of the romper but I grabbed the tank. Which I can’t wait to wear and share with you all!

Have a blessed day!

Here I am in one of my favorite places in the East Bay is called Heather Farms, where they have this amazing garden area filled with bed of flowers.  A bunch of weddings happens in this serene vicinity throughout the year, and I don’t blame them.  It is the perfect spot for picture taking.  As you can see the gorgeous cherry blossom behind me is one of the reasons I come here and it has a huge playground for my mini me which she absolutely loves!

As for my very first horse sweater, I found him in the kid’s section of H&M, I knew it was a horse sweater from a glance band grabbed it right away without looking at the size or price, I was in a rush.  When I got home, I looked at my receipt and to my surprise I got this baby for only $5 bucks!  It fit perfectly and became my favorite sweater for the weekend, along with pumpkin colored pants from Zara.  My mini-me asked me why I didn’t get her one.  I would have since I love matching with her, but it was the last one.

I wish the path behind me led to the beautiful forevers!

Happy Hump Day!!

Just thought I’d share a few work outfits I have been wearing to work lately.  Our Monday to Friday work outfits doesn't always have to be all work and no play.  I love wearing colors and patterns to work, but I also try to wear clean and sharp pieces.

I also want to share a few lookbooks I found on different websites. Shopbop has a bunch of them but I really love the Ultimate Closet.  It has just about 10 items that can work be worn in so many ways.  I will need to do spring cleaning in my closet to make my ultimate work wardrobe.  Ann Taylor is another website I go to for work outfit inspirations.

This has been one of my longest post ever hope you enjoyed! Thanks for visiting & for all the sweet comments!

Spring = New Beginnings

“The arrival of baseball, warm temperatures, flowers in bloom and seasonal allergies all signal that spring, the season of renewal and rebirth, is here.” 

 

It might be spring in other places, but you wouldn't know it by walking outside where there are high winds and winter-like temperatures are still around here in San Francisco. Today is actually pretty descent weather.  Although the sun is not shining bright, it’s not too cold or windy, and I managed not to wear a jacket to work!  I just didn’t want to be lugging too many things like a bag lady that I am normally.  Sorry my pics are a little blurry due to the fact that they were taken before the sun was starting to go down. I really need to invest in a DSLR camera soon!!

By the way, the flowers I'm smelling were handpicked by my lovely mini-me.  She said "Here mom, I picked the best ones just for you!" Gotta love that!

Well, off to read some of your blogs! Have a beautiful day lovelies!
