Gold Me Up

2014-01-24T09:19:00.000-06:00

Another way of pairing a white shirt is with a cute cardigan. This gold cardigan is my favorite because of the color and how it dresses up a shirt. I don't know about you but I can wear scarves year round. I love them and don't use them just during the winter season.

Plaid Winter Wonderland

2014-01-16T09:11:00.000-06:00

You can never go wrong with a puffer vest during the Winter season. This is one of my favorites from Ralph Lauren, it is beautiful and double sided. Make sure you get a lot of use of yours this season or if you don't own one, go buy one as soon as possible.

Follow Your Heart

2014-01-10T14:31:00.001-06:00

A black skirt is a statement piece that every woman should have in her closet. I give mine many different uses and always find a different way of styling it. Today I decided to wear mine with one of my favorite sweaters of the season. The "Follow your heart" sweater brings happiness and joy to my life. I love the colors and how comfy it is.

Bright New Year

2014-01-08T15:23:00.000-06:00

Lately I've been very obsessed with red lipstick. I've been using it every single day for the past week and I love it. I also been loving putting my hair up on a messy ponytail.
I really like this outfit, the peter pan collar sweater and the blue printed pants are staple pieces in my wardrobe this season.

What I got for Christmas

2014-01-02T15:52:00.000-06:00

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
I wanted to share this post with you for a few days already, but as you know the Holidays are the perfect time to spend time with family, relax and just have fun.
Here are the gifts that I got from Santa (aka Hubby), I really liked all of them and I am obsessed with each one. The cutest thing is that he wrapped them in the prettiest way.

Im obsessed with this gorgeous statement necklace, he picked the one I had been eyeing for days

Gucci Guilty black perfume set, which comes with a mini perfume, a regular size perfume and a body lotion. If you haven't smelled this perfume go do it, it smells so lovely and chic

Inside the pretty red bag I found a blue box, which only meant something really nice

I found this lovely pair of earrings inside and Im obsessed with them, been wearing them non-stop ever since I got them!

I also got pretty presents from my parents and friends that I will share in a later post.

Hipster Fox

2013-10-24T05:07:00.000-05:00

For some reason whenever I see a fox it reminds me of Fall. I don't know what it is, but my mind instantly connects both of them. This sweater is perfect for the current season, very cute, girly and comfy.

Falling Owls

2013-10-03T21:16:00.000-05:00

Shopping for Fall clothes is always the most exciting for me. I love layering pieces and just all the cute sweaters and clothes that come out during this season. You need clothes to keep you warm but not as many as you do during Winter.

This sweater is one of my favorite purchases so far, it is from Old Navy and is very pretty and comfy.

Seattle Day 1

2013-10-01T22:05:00.000-05:00

For our yearly vacations, Mike and I decided to visit 2 different states and cities. Our first stop was Seattle. I have to say that for everyone that lives in Seattle how lucky you are. It is a beautiful city with very nice weather and people. Everyone is super friendly and just the vibe is incredible. We fell in love with this pretty city.

The first day we visited the famous Pike Place Market. I fell in love with the music and all the talented artists that were selling their beautiful creations throughout the market. Musicians and florists were all around the market.

I also was thrilled to visit the first Starbucks. It was very crowded with tourists wanting to visit the famous coffee place.

We had drinks at The Hard Rock Cafe Rooftop, wine for me and beer for hubby.

My Seafoam Dream

2013-04-25T20:31:00.000-05:00

I have to confess that one of my favorite colors of this Spring season are: Mint, Seafoam and Aqua. I just can't get enough of this pretty top from Forever 21. It is very comfortable, but chic at the same time.
By the way, if you are going to be in Vegas soon, make sure you check out these lovely tulips at the Wynn.

Spring Flowers

2013-04-19T01:03:00.004-05:00

I am in Vegas right now having the time of my life. For everyone that has been to Vegas you know how cool and fun it is. You party, walk, laugh, drink and dance all day. It is just a very fun city to be at, only for a few days though, I don't think I could handle it forever. Red is definitely my favorite color, it is just so vivid and it makes me happy and to be in a very good mood.

Blueish Stripes

2013-04-12T08:45:00.000-05:00

Who doesn't love stripes? They are one of the most popular trends in the world and you can make them as dressier, fancier or informal as possible. This color combination is one of my favorites, I definitely think that blue and aqua suit me well! Or what do you think?

I Heart Neon

2013-04-10T20:57:00.001-05:00

Neon is one of my favorite trends and I wish it never dies. I definitely agree with the fact that neon should be one of those trends that stays forever or at least comes back every Spring/Summer. Ever since I saw this gorgeous blouse, I knew I had to get it. It is very chic, young and elegant at the same time. I really like the pop of color, because it instantly makes it more fun.

Back....

2013-04-04T15:12:00.001-05:00

After a few weeks of being away, traveling, moving and fixing my macbook, I am finally back.
I couldn't be happier to be here again. These past weeks have been really weird all because my macbook all of a sudden stopped working. After trying to fix it with different people and geek squad and Apple, I finally got in touch with the right person and he fixed it.
I am so happy and excited! How have you been?
Do you have any requests or special comments?

Love you,
Pao

Can't Take my Eyes Off Of Tartan

2013-01-18T01:36:00.002-06:00

I just can't get enough of the Winter season and something that puts me in a good mood are colors. Seriously if you get easily depressed, don't hesitate to wear a lot of color during Winter. This will put you in a great mood and you will instantly feel pretty and your happiness will be spread to the world.
Tartan is definitely one of my favorite trends of this season and this scarf is for sure my ultimate favorite.

The Art of Stenciling

2013-01-16T08:29:00.000-06:00

Beautiful walls, backgrounds and decorations are an important part of a lovely house. I got really excited when I was contacted by Royal Design Studio to try out their stencils. Before this, I used to look at different pictures of beautiful walls in different magazines and blogs and I always wished I had some of them.
I chose the Donatella Damask Stencil & the Copper Kettle Creme to paint my dressing room. At first I thought it might be hard, but after the first brush strokes I fell in love with the process and the result.

All you need is: The stencil of your choice, the creme, a brush and blue painters tape. You just have to paint over it and follow the pattern and you will love the end result.

The most cool thing is that you can apply the stencil patterns on ceilings, walls, floors and furniture.

Guess what? I will be having a giveaway really soon so you can enjoy the art of stenciling too! You will love it :)

Girly Nails (NOTD)

2013-01-10T13:30:00.000-06:00

A few days ago I was at CVS looking at their nail polishes and I instantly fell in love with this amazing polish by Revlon. It is as it name says, "Girly". In fact it reminds me of Katy Perry every time I look at them. I am pretty sure that if Katy Perry had a nail polish this would be the one. I am very obsessed and will use it a lot during this year. It has a light pink base and blue, purple and pink glitter all over.
If you haven't tried it please go ahead and do so, you will fall in love too.

Happy Thursday!

This year I am 100% committed to wear bright lipsticks. I have been falling deeply in love with bright and darker lipsticks. Venturing into new makeup and trends is always an easy and affordable way of changing your look and appearance. My favorite brand for lip products is revlon.

Happy Tuesday!
