Spring-ing!

Gotta love a beautiful Spring afternoon that entails  good company, good food and wine all the way till 9 pm. A glass of wine can make my day just as much as a new pair of shoes. Only difference is the durability of each, I guess.

 When it comes to spring wardrobe, it's safe to say that a shearling vest might not be the answer but since the weather has been kinda tricky lately, I've had to improvise on ways to keep myself warm. After a few weather surprises on my way to work, I had to unpack my winter coats again just until things get settled. I guess so much for being too positive! In any case, I am obsessing over pastels this season and you will soon discover what I have been accumulating for you all these past months. As I've said so many times before, when I like something... I reaaaalllyyyy like it, so its safe to say that my closet has definitely transitioned into a different group of shades. Give me a pink pastel blouse and I'll throw you a party... figuratively and maybe even literally. What are you obsessing over?

Rain on my parade

 

I am starting to think that everyone by now might assume that I must have packed my bags and left to London in search of fame and fortune. I can assure you that despite the gloomy and rainy weather that is typically part of my posts, I am still very much settled in DC. I have never seen this much incessant rain in my life in such short period of time, and please note that I am from a tropical country that consists of two seasons: rainy and sunny. I know I shouldn't be complaining too much because the alternative (aka snow) would definitely ruin my mood.
But today, it literally rained on my parade. I had spent a good 25 minutes last night planning how to wear these gorgeous leather gloves I got for a steal at Filene's (which in case you didn't know it, they are closing down so if you have one nearby, make sure to head over). Not to mention, I spent another 20 doing my hair, therefore a whole hour had been sort of invested in this outfit. So when the frizz-fest going on outside ruined the look you can imagine my "fascination." I am not one to let the rain get in the way of my plans, coming from a tropical country and all, but let's just say, the result of today's post could have been ten times better. So if you digg it, imagine how much you would digg it then. In any case, hope you enjoy it and if any of you DC natives is doing some sort of rain dance, you can stop now... We've had enough!!!!!

Tis the season..

...To wear as much glitter and sequins as you desire without being judged by not so jolly passers-by nor being confused by a middle-aged teenager. Whether you wish to have one statement piece or go all out, shoes are always the perfect place to start. And since this is also the season of gift-giving, let me share with you my favorite glittered pieces so you can have an option these holidays. There's just about everything for everyone!
