Ruffles :: Plus 10 things I Love

Ruffles and more ruffles.........








Hey guys!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  I wanted to do something a little different today on the blog, specially since it's Valentine's week and share with you 10 things I absolutely love:

1)  My family - they are the absolute reason I feel alive and my motivation to be a better version of me every day.

2)  Coffee - for me it's not only about getting that much needed caffeine every morning, it's part of my culture and growing up in Peru.  We are used to having 'cafecito' along with a pastry every afternoon in most south american cultures and that is something I miss.

3)  This face mask! - I live for this mask, it leaves my face feeling so smooth, clean and radiant.  I have been using it for months now and I can definitely see the difference in my skin.

4)  Frozen Yogurt/Ice Cream - I don't normally crave sweets but ice cream is always a good idea!

5)  Fresh Flowers - I love having fresh flowers around my house, I feel they can brighten up any room and even your day!  My favorite ones are peonies, tulips and roses.

6)  When Ashton learns a new word - now that Ashton is starting to be more vocal, I love hearing him say new words, however, my all time favorite aside from mama (of course), is when he kisses his dad good night and walks away saying 'Nite, Nite' as he waves his little hand up in the air......... melts my heart every time.

7)  CSI Miami - has anyone ever seen this show??  I'm addicted to it!  I will watch it all day if it's on.....also love Criminal Minds.

8)  Reading - I don't get to read as much as I would like anymore but before Ashton came along, reading was something I loved doing....specially murder mystery books ( I know.....between my tv show preferences and my books of choices, I'm starting to sound scary )

9)  Miami - I know it's one of those cities you either love or can only handle for a couple days but I absolutely love it there! The beach, the weather, the food and the people!!  I love cultures and learning about other people's backgrounds, so I appreciate this city for all it has to offer.

10)  Blogging - I love being able to share my style choices and myself with you!  Blogging is not easy and it definitely has it's ups and downs ( sometime I will write a post about it ) but I love doing it and that is the reason I continue to do so.  I'm so appreciative of every single comment, every following, every question and everyone who takes the time to read this blog. Thank you!

11)  This is a bonus one because I couldn't leave it out...... Thai Food!  I absolutely love the curry dishes and the sweet mandarin chicken dish.....and Ashton loves the steamed dumplings!
  
Hope you enjoyed this post and have learned a little more about me!  Let me know what are some of the things you love??  I would love to hear from you and get to know you better!

    Great and a beautiful dress. I love its simplicity and clean lines but a short length and defined waist are not a great look for me.Then yellow women's dress make me look thinner and taller.

Happy Monday!! Feliz Lunes!! Hi everyone!!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!!  I flew back from Peru over the weekend and I have a long " honey to do list"!  Traveling is always hard for me because, I'm actually scared of planes!!  Yes!  I hate turbulence, it truly gets me sick, so with that said, having my son traveling with me was scary not only because he is still 7 months old but also because of my fear of planes.  Thank God for my sister who traveled with me and was a HUGE help while we were visiting family.  It was great to see my mom and some family who got to meet Ashton for the first time!  We had a great time, despite the heat ( it was hot and humid every morning up until 4ish when the sun started to go down) and most homes do not have air conditioning!  I want to say I don't know a single home that does!  So you can imagine after living in America for 16 years.....air conditioning to me is an actual necessity, while bac

A Romance with Lace

Happy Monday!! Feliz Lunes!! How was everyone's weekend??  We had a great family weekend and Valentine's Day.  I love spending time with my two loves, they just make my heart smile.  This post was inspired by Valentine's Day because I have always found lace to be a very feminine and romantic.  Personally, I'm very drawn to tops and dresses that have lace in them or are made from it, so when I spotted this top I loved it and the bonus part was it's also cropped!  However, I do have to say, I normally wear a small but in this case I ordered a medium so that it would fit me a little longer and not so cropped.  Since the temperatures have been pretty chilly around here, instead of a skirt I paired it with these bell bottom pants to stay warm.  In the end I loved the classy style the top gave the outfit! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and taking the time to read this post and share your ideas with me.  I

A Summer Basic :: Plus 5 Bomber Jackets I'm Currently Loving

Image
Happy Monday! Feliz Lunes!! Hey guys!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  I'm all about a cute, basic, little black dress....because as we all know you can never go wrong with black.  I know that summer time is all about the white dress and the lighter hues, but I love to have a basic go to black dress that can work in case I'm out of options. I love how this dress, which also comes in two other colors, is fit on the top and then it flares out at the bottom giving it a fun and relaxed style.  I also love the eyelet pattern on it because it's a more casual look and great to pair with wedges, flats, or a bomber jacket, like I did here. I have received so many complements on this jacket, and I have worn it a lot lately and people are constantly asking where I got it.  This is where I have to give it to Target and I have to admit that I get countless of complements on items that come from Target!  I love that because, I wil
