    12 Must Have Summer Dresses



    dress: Chriselle x J.O. A at Nordstrom / sandals: Ivanka Trump (old) similar here / earrings: J.Crew (sold out) other option here 

    I’m sharing 12 of my favorite style of dresses for the summer. May it be for summer weddings, bridal shower, picnic ,  beach party and even for daily looks. These dresses are the “it” styles for this season. Also let me add about the dress that i’m wearing here, it’s button down dress which i really love. I am obsessed with the vintage style of it with a bit of modern vibe to it. What’s sets this apart from all the button down dress that i’ve seen, is the sleeves of the dress. I love the way it hangs on my shoulder . So this is definitely my most favorite dress for spring/summer. I can’t wait to style this dress in many ways.

    floral / gingham / lace / stripes

    wrap-around / cut-out / ruffles / button-down

    midi body-con / polka dots / statement sleeves / smock

    Thank you for reading

    Be Instagram Ready with Mother and Daughter Coordinating Outfits at Target




    Our Outfits

     

    Target gave me a run for my money lately with all these cute collections of women and girls clothes. It doesn’t have to be matching pieces but more like coordinating outfits. I swear i can always find something at Target. What’s up with this store ? You go there to buy one thing, in my case a hair gel for my son. I came home with two outfits for me and Olivia and a bunch of other knick knacks. I almost forgot the hair gel ! #mombrain again.

    For today’s blog post, i thought it would be cute and fun to share mother and daughter coordinating outfits at Target. While matching outfits has been a trend, it’s not always accessible all the time and you don’t really want to match every outfit you have with your kid. You just want to color coordinate your outfits just in case you get your pictures taken. That way the colors doesn’t clash and it will look good on your Instagram feed. Take note also of the style and aesthetic you are going for. It’s really up to you what you wanted to do, but if you want to have fun this way on your Instagram then go for it !

    Let me also add that Target have now, Family Collection. Matching outfits for the whole family. How cute is that? Which collection do you like here?

     

     

    Thank you so much for reading and have a great day!

    How to Style the Anne Klein Watch For Springtime as a Gift for Mom

    This post is truly special because it’s dedicated  for my mom who loves Anne Klein watches. I remember years ago when i was visiting to the Philippines, i asked her what she wants as a gift. She would say, bring me an Anne Klein watch. You see Anne Klein truly have a rich legacy that carries over decades after decades. Since it’s birth in the 1960’s it sets the standard of professional style and it epitomized the independence and confidence of women. Growing up my mom is my hero and one of my greatest influence even when it comes to fashion. That’s why i always have a profound love for feminine and classic looks. In this post i would like to style the Anne Klein watch in the 1960’s style. The style of fit and flare dresses, statement earrings and statement top handle bags, brings nostalgic memories of that era. The innovation of Anne Klein watches function as practical timepieces or pieces of jewelry perfect for staying on schedule while on trend. AK watches come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, colors and material- to fit any woman’s fashion needs. These watches are versatile, the variety includes pieces that can be dressed up or down. They make for great gifts as they are both stylish, classic yet very affordable. These watches also come in pretty boxes, so they are extremely conducive to gifting and are not fuss.

    Styling the Anne Klein watch for springtime as a gift for mom:

    1. Fit and flare dresses – Seasons and times may change, trends come and go, but there is this one style of dress that totally stood the test of time,  fit and flare dresses. You know why? because it flatters every figure, that’s why it never goes out of style. It’s also age appropriate for women from their  teens up to their golden age.

    2. Classic jewelries and accessories – Just like the Anne Klein watch, i like to match my jewelries and accessories with timeless pieces. You accentuate your watch with pieces that coordinates the look just like the sunglasses. The watch itself is like a jewelry but you can stack it up with jewelry pieces to give a little bit of a character. When it comes to earrings, i like to use drop earrings when i’m wearing open collar tops and stud earrings when it’s  turtleneck tops. But really, you can do whatever you want. As long as your having fun.

    3. Structured bags – They said a bag can create and break an outfit, it’s true. But not all of us want to spend all our dollars on a bag. It’s really how you carry yourself and how you put together your outfit. Around springtime, i like structured top handle bags, they are so chic and easy to coordinate with any outfit, either you are dressing up or down.

    4. Wedge Sandals – This is the season to bust out your wedge sandals. There are different kinds, from platform wedge sandals to espradilles. I like to wear light colored ones because it looks bright, airy and versatile.

    For this coming Mother’s Day, the Anne Klein watch is a perfect gift for moms. Also, give her the gift of time. Spend time with her, that is the most important thing. When i went home to the Philippines to visit my mom, she was battling with colon cancer, it was a very difficult time for all of us. So we all made sure we spend a lot of time with her. Even at that most difficult stage of our life, our mom truly bond us together as a family. I really missed her, Mother’s day is kinda like a sad and also a happy day for me. I’m happy to celebrate that i’m a mom myself, yet also sad because i missed my mom and i wish i could celebrate with her. But life is like that, things happen. We will just have to accept things, be thankful and grateful for the things she have done  for us. I will cherish it for as long as i live.

    Aside from my mom, there is this one person who have a huge part of my life. My mother-in-law, she is the strongest woman i know with the biggest heart. I don’t know how she managed to do things with such ease. She is also very kind to everyone and never ever did interrogate our decisions as husband and wife. My mom was right, when she met my mother-in-law for the first time during her visit to the Philippines. She told me, my mother-in-law is a very good person and that i am very lucky. Indeed i am and i’m forever grateful.

    Since my mom is already in heaven, i celebrated Mother’s day with my mother-in-law. We usually go out to dinner as a family, there was also a time we went shopping and got our hair and nails done. It was fun and i’m looking forward to spend Mother’s day again with her.
