Love at first sight

Saw these Alice + Olivia pants from pre-fall 2012 collection and lost sleep

Tangerine Tango

Somehow I knew this was gonna be my year and what is better proof if not one of my main colors being names the color of the year - Tangerine Tango?:)




"Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it," Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute," said in a statement. "Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy."

The ultimate vacation wardrobe

In preparation for my upcoming vacation I made a list of 10 items I will take for 10 day trip

1) Long sun dress - Blue Moon Belize asymmetrical dress

2) Short dress - H&M cotton dress with a-line skirt

3) Mini skirt - Abercrombie & Fitch mini skirt in navy

4) Pair of shorts - Diane von Furstenberg pleated shorts in tan

5) Dark top - Dressy Barney's top in navy

6) Light top - White silk cowlneck top

7) Simple white tank - Abercrombie & Fitch

8) Jean jacket - Jou jou jean jacket for cooler evenings that goes with everything else on my list

9) My favorite bathing suit in orange and purple

10) Capri pants - the jean capri I bought in Buenos Aires - they still fit!

In addition tot he above I will take a pair of flip flops and a pair of nude sandals. Also i think I will cheat a little bit and throw in an extra skirt and my Brazilian bathing suit either in pink or in white

Simple is charming

Another awesome outfit I came across. It is so simple, yet very charming

Peach pink

Peach pink is the only version of pink I am willing to accept. Today I found this beautiful photo on internet. The woman on the photo is so elegant! Very inspirational

Belize asymmetrical dress

In anticipation of upcoming vacation I started planing my wardrobe. Since we are going for 10 days and have a limited space in our suitcases (try travaling with a toddler), I need to keep my wardrobe to a minimum but be able to look appropriate for any occasion.
So there was this strapless sun dress I was contemplating of buying for a month now and kept deciding against it. But today I figured that its versatility could be of use to me this winter in Riviera Maya.

So I went online to place an order on it and there was only 3 dresses left, 1 in size 0, and 2 in size 2. I put size 2 in my basket and by the time i was ready for a checkout (30 seconds), there was only one dress left in size 2. I literally bought the last dress. Luckily I made it just on time.



I absolutely love its simplicity and versatility. It can be worn with beach sandals for walks on the beach or casual lunch. And if accessorized with a pair of heels and a belt, it could suffice for a dressier function.







by getting this dress I just saved myself considerable suitcase space that can now be occupied by my toddler's things.
