I am excited to add this beautiful cotton tiered ruffle cardigan from Coin 1804 to my wardrobe. I was very impressed with the quality and the ruffles are so flattering. I own a lot of long sleeves cardigan but none sleeveless, I can definitely see myself wearing this a lot this summer to stay cool.  I love how it gives a little life to such a simple outfit and looks great with or without a skinny belt.

Shirt:Bebe Pants:HM Purse:MK Over the weekend I went out with few girls since my dear friend Diane was in town for couple days. Every since I gave birth to Kaylee, going out and sipping on a margaritas is not the norm in my lifestyle anymore. Although it's so nice to be able to get together with the girls, chat about life and gush over Fifty Shades of Grey. One conversation that we had a blast conversing over was Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Show Know posted on HuffingtonPost .

Every since I came across these photos from pinterest couple months ago, I have been searching for the perfect shade of mint jeans. I found a pair on Jcrew for $125 and Bebe for $98 which is little too much for my pocket, so I kept looking... 1 2 3 4 My search was over last week when I found them at HM Spring Collection. It has the perfect mint shade and I am so obsessed with them. It was really love at first sight ;) Not bad for only $25! They run pretty small too, I am wearing a size 8!

It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."   ~ Audrey Hepburn Saw The Hunger Games over the weekend. Told myself to wait until few more weeks until all the hype to die down but this girl couldn't help it. I finished the book on Saturday and saw the movie that night. I really enjoyed the movie! It did meet my expectations and knew that they won't be able to fully put every single detail from the book into the movie. Catching Fire, you are in my next book to read! What are your thoughts on the book and movie? 

I can't get enough of this beautiful weather we have going on today. 70 today, yes seventy in February! Hope it is beautiful where you are at! Dress: Bebop Necklace: Thrifted : Purse: Kate Spade Belt : HM Did you know that the color yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum, that's why I wanted to incorporate that color for Kaylee's first birthday party. It represents her attitude and personality in her first year. Her theme is You Are My Sunshine using Yellow and Turquoise as her main 2 colors for anyone wondering what her theme is :) Hope you are having a beautiful Thursday! Pin It

Color blocking is such a foreign language to me but definitely a trend of bold statement that I am slowly embracing. It's easier for me to pull off analogous color schemes in outfits since the use of colors are more pleasing to the eye and more harmonious. Maybe one day I'll be brave to work around with complementary colors and build an outfit of around it. Are you a fan of color blocking? Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

Banana jacket from Hubby 8 years ago when we dated. Black jacket is simply just elegant and classic in my book. Still loving it today.  I don't think these boots goes well with this outfit, oh well, nothing wrong with experimenting ;) When Kaylee was about 5-6 Months, I lost a lot of hair! I was shredding so much I thought something was wrong me, to find out that it's normal to shred after having a baby. Whew! In need to find a stylish by the end of this month! Look to those baby hair! jacket:: Banana Republic purse:: MK :glasses:: MK dress:: HM shoes:: Report One thing I love about blogging is that when your a mother and have a newborn baby, you tend to let yourself go and forget to take care of yourself. Having this blog, not only I met a lot of wonderful people from all over the world, but I also get to experiment with my clothes, old and new. Who say affordable clothes can't be stylish? Thank you everyone for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful weekend
