FUN WEDNESDAY!

Hi fellow readers,

How's your week going so far? I was not able to capture my outfit today but to keep things funny and fresh my sister sent me the link below.  It's hilarious.  I have own cats all my life and they are cute and very interesting creatures.  They do come up with the craziest things.  I just love how free-spirit they are.

Have fun and please do let me know which one was your favorite.  I love #1.

When it works. 

I had an important meeting and I wanted to look my best.  It started getting cold so I got the tights out.  I got tons complements on this outfit and yet it is such a simple one.  I felt confident and ready to tackle anything. 

Skirt: Banana Republic

Shirt: The limited and  I have worn this one before many other times

Shoes: my new booties from DSW

I added a cardigan for the day but this looks very polish with a black blazer too.

It's a casual Saturday!

I love nothing more than a NOT plan Saturday.  What I mean is not having any concrete plans and while there is a "to do list" to tackle it is not a priority or a MUST do now.  I was lucky my lab allowed us to sleep today.  I thinks it is an official record.  We let him out at 6:50AM gave him food and by 7AM I was back in bed. Until, I naturally woke up at 10AM. It was awesome.

Any way,  after breakfast and a little bit of mediocre run (yeah! it was a weak run but at least I give myself credit for going out) I dressed up to ran some quick errands.

Jeans: LOFT

Shirt: MaxMara

Scarf: a gift ... no known brand

Shoes: Cole Haan

Enjoy your Saturday!!!

Carpe Diem!

A few post ago (here) I was telling you about one of the many mantras I repeat to myself "Carpe Diem".  Well, it only seemed natural when Banana Republic put this sweater on sale that I went on and buy it!  You see how I tricked myself to buy it? But hey it's pretty, makes me feel happy and it looks great! Well, I will let you be the judge of that.  

Yes I had to aim the picture a different way so that you could see the sweater. Darn for self portrait with an iPhone. :-) 

Pants: navy cords from Gap

Swearter: Banana Republic

Shirt: JCrew 

Boots: Hunter (by the way if you are going to splurge on boots get this ones, worth every penny!)

Oh and how can I forget TGIF!!!!!

A day at work!

Today I wanted to try my new awesome booties from DSW.  The look I was going for was work smart.  Not sure if I got that as I felt I needed to add some color.  And that I did with yellow!  While I am more close to a small frame type body, I like bold necklaces, big glasses and all those thing people think a small type person can't wear.  However, I put them on and just go.  Honestly when in doubt just don't look in the mirror and go! Ok do peak. You don't want to look like a crazy person. 

 

Here the look:

Can't forget the bootie!

Pants: H&M

Shirt: The Limited

Cardigan: Banana Republic outlet

Bubble necklace: Illy

Shoes: DSW

App Review

Hi. 

I am a sucker when it comes to quick ideas or learning how to do something. However, I admit that in most cases I may not actually do the craft or prepare the recipe. But something knowing how it could be done makes me feel empowered.  

Apple send out an email few weeks ago promoting apps that work well with iOS 7.  As an app lover I had to check it out.  And so I came across Snapguide.  Regular folks post step by step - with pictures- on how to do all kind of things.  It goes from recipes, electronics, design, fashion..... You name it. 

It amazing how talented people can be. 

Here is the main screen from my iPad.  

I will let you know when and if I tackle any of the awesome ideas.

What's your style for a quick bite?

Hello,

I got the necklace! Remember the post "It's a Deal!" Well the order came in and I LOVE it! It was exactly what I was expecting.  I got so many compliments and I still can't believe I got it on such great deal. :-)

I wore to work with a very simply attire.  It was all about the necklace.

Necklace: ILY
Shirt: Zara
Skirt: Gap
Shoes: JCrew

Sometimes it's not what you wear but how you accessorize it!

TED - App review

Hello fellow readers!

I am still making changes to my blog.  The idea is to provide you with the best experience I can.  And, hopefully entertain, inform, provide ideas, generate new ideas.... who knows.  I like doing posts and hopefully you can help spread the word to your friends... just a thought!

Well today's mantra is:

Bring it on! 

We cannot control what lives brings but we can certainly control how we feel and act.  That brings me to the app review.  I am not sure if you're familiar with TED.  It's a site that provides clips of very well-known speakers in all kinds of fields to share their advice, comments, etc. on a specific topic. They basically say "ideas worth spreading".

I wanted to be able to see these clips on my train ride commute so I downloaded the TED app on my iPhone.

I have to say there is unlimited resources to help you gain new knowledge.  I heard this morning a monk (Matthie Ricard) talking about "The Habits of Happiness".   Basically, we need to work at it like anything else.  And while no one wakes up saying they want to be depress, we still need to work on our feelings and how we deal with our emotions.  At the end, it's about acknowledging our feelings and he, of course, talks about meditation.  It's 18 min long but it was worth it!

The awesome dark jean!

I believe I've mentioned that my office environment could be a bit more casual.  I've been trying to dress for the job I want by trying to bring it up a notch.  But some days you just want to wear jeans.  Today was one of those. 

It looks like if I am wearing dark pants. And that was exactly what a I was going for. 

Blazer: Gap

Shirt: JCrew

Jeans: Banana Republic
