NEW ADDITION

Shoes: Alexander Wang boots

Welcome this new addition to the rest of my babies thanks to SaksFifthAvenue. I am yet to wear it; but I have test driven it around the house. I love the color and edgy style.

Anyway, I have a wedding to attend and I am still on my bed browsing :)

Later...

Have a lovely weekend loves!

All of the Lights

I took these pictures some weekends ago when I organized a friend's surprise birthday dinner. It was a nice event. The birthday girl was a bit suspicious about the surprise; but at the end, what mattered was the fun filled dinner with a small group of her close friends.



I love the scenery of where the restaurant is located. From our table, we could see the city lights and water. Definitely a great restaurant - awesome view.

What's for Dinner!

Yummy! ;)

The heat really got the best part of me this weekend. Even though the temperature was between 104 & 110 degrees, it felt worse than that. Besides some errands on Saturday, I tried to stay cool with my smoothies and bottles of cold water. On Sunday evening, I went for a friend's event who had a baby five days earlier. The baby is so cute. I keep getting the question from friends when I plan on  having mine. For now, I will gladly babysit until then :)

Anyway, that was my weekend in few sentences. What did you do over the weekend? Did you experience the heat wave?

PS: My prayers go out to all those affected in the Norway incident and the family & friends of Amy Winehouse (RIP).

Lot of Love,

Stella

TREND: Suit Up

Yes, ladies! It is okay to suit up. Embrace your masculine touch by dressing up in a suit. Suits are not meant only for job interviews or board meetings, they can be shortened or dressed in a sexy but classy way.

The best part of this redefined suit version is that is can be worn in so many ways from casual to sexy and classy. For a casual look, simply throw on pair of blazer, a white v-neck tee and a relaxed trouser or shorts paired with heels or even a sneaker/converse.

On the other hand, you can added a touch of color. Suits are not just meant for dark shades of color like black or gray, but can also be bright colors like yellow and orange. Remember to find a color that suits your skin tone.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Girl Meets Boy

Zara blazer; Forever21 Necklace, Michael Kors Watch

Harem pants: Victoria's Secret; Bag: H&M

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell from Solestruck

 I believe I am in a relationship with Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I just love how edgy and unique their shoes are. This is one of the most comfortable shoes I own.  However, on this day, I decided to pair it with my denim harem pants that I got almost two years ago from Victoria's Secret with a plain tank top. Of course, I had to add some hint of color with the blue blazer and the turban. For the turban, I used an African print material that I received last year from my mother-in-law. This outfit has a "tomboy meets girl" feel to it.

On another note, I hope you all are having a nice week so far. The heat is terrible here. I go through bottles of water in few minutes. Hopefully, I don't melt. :)
 Anyway, stay cool & hydrated.

Lots of Love

Brighten my day

Zara skirt & F21 tank top

 This has been a fun-filled weekend. I went to two cookouts on Saturday. It was nice hanging out with my friends and co-workers outside our busy schedules. Then on Sunday, I went to a friend's bridal shower, which was beyond lovely--the whole room was filled with love.

I have talked about how much I love decorating; so whenever I am around a decorative piece, I love to capture it.

I started the day wearing my Jessica Simpson Dany platform, but later on, I switched to my Jeffrey Campbell flats

Maximize the slit

Slits are making a comeback and the trend can be observed at the moment from runways to red carpets. When I was thirteen, I was all about maxi skirt with slits on both sides; fast forward to 2011,  I wore my Zara slit dress for a night out with my hubby. This dress can be worn casually with flats and you have the option of dressing up like I did....

Accessories: bracelet & ring by Forever 21, Michael Kors watch

Topshop shoes

Hope everyone is having an awesome week--the weekend is just around the corner--Yayyy!

Thanks for all you love!

Big hug & kisses

Orange Crush

It is another week! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Phew!!! The week goes by so fast ; I can't believe that school starts in about two months. I have a love/hate relationship with graduate school mainly because of my crazy schedule. 

Anyway, enough of my school talk, back to my weekend. :) Over the weekend, I went hiking and dinning at one of my favorite Italian restaurants "Aldos".  I had Timballo -- Fresh Pasta layered with Mushrooms, Besciamella and Bolognese Sauce. I am even hungry thinking about it. :)

Zara Wide-legged trouser, H&M sheer blouse

I wore this on Sunday Afternoon for Lunch with my hubby.

I have had this necklace for a while and I can't remember where I got it from; I am thinking probably Macy's. There are somethings in my closet that I totally forget they exist ; like this necklace.

Have a fabulous day and stay hydrated in this hot & humid weather!
