Fall Trend: Berry Hues

It rained last week and when it rains in fall - that means cold. I checked the weather and it was predicted to be just beautiful with mr. sun shining...I knew it was time to wear my berry skirt.

I loved this look, even I have been dressing for days - I havent really been feeling like I have been making an effort to get ready in the morning. I haven't been feeling full on energy past few days but this morning I got to sleep in (thank god!) and then I "got ready". The color of the skirt is just perfect for fall, isn't it?

I am also linking up at WIWW partay! =)

Dressing up Basics

Some days I feel like putting no effort into my outfits, like today. Weekend was jam packed with work, classes and some dress shopping. As much fun it was, i didn't feel like getting up this morning. I was soo tired!!! Needless to say, I wanted to stay in PJ's all day long! But I am a grown up girl with obligations a.k.a. Work...so I finally dragged myself out of bed after 4 snoozes and threw on some jeans and a this soft grey sweater from F21. I thrifted this statement necklace back in March! I cant believe I havent worn it since. Shame on me, it was sitting on my dresser for 7 months. I loved this comfy "dressing up basics look"

This is what I did on SUNDAY! Will post more later...just a little tease for now! =)

if you liked this and want to see more, let me know. I will create another post about wedding dresses as part of the wedding series!

Reporting from H&M Store

Did I ever tell you I am in love with H&M???? and because Mr. Fiancee's mom got me a gift card from that store for my birthday - I had to go pay a visit. I went and you guys they have such awesome fall colors in the store. They have beautiful and warm dresses and blazers and what else you name it - they have it. I love trendy pieces there and they are affordable. Next post, I will share more of the goodies from the store - and what I bought and what I didn't.

AND what you see above is the outfit I wore! The shoes were given to me by my dear friend, are they gorgeous or what? - I love you S!

You know that jacket I was debating whether to keep or not - I am gonna keep it. The collar has some suede material on it which reduces the itchiness a bit and mom says when the weather gets cold, I wont even notice the itchiness. plus its plaid and sooo cute and has elbow patches...I decided to keep it. Plus you know "Moms are always right" ;)

Pink Ruffles and Sequins

Pants: GAP, Shirt and Cardigan: Old Navy, Belt: Thrifted

The look can be transformed with a simple skinny black belt

Love the glitter detail on the cardigan

Cardigans with glitter on it are so pretty. They are so festive like you can throw them on when going to a party or wear it out to a special dinner out. I put this look together inspired from cute Corrine - this is the way she wore it at the Lookbook.

I am a good copycat. I am craving getting some navy and mustard tights today. I am also linking up at the Pleated Poppy.

Outtakes

Give me camera, MR. Tripod I can do much better!

Nap Time - you like the outfit though right?

Trying to peek at the neighbours with eyes closed- except I cant open the blinds

How can one possibly smile with strong winds?

Don't ask! 40% of my shots are like this.

I can talk and walk at the same time!

Awe Mr. Fiancee looks so cute!

I have a stomach ache - can you tell>?

I am tired and please dont take my picture right now.

Laughing but not really?!

Let me explain the shot!

I hope you enjoyed outtakes - like I did! In such busy lives, who doesnt need some humour here and there?

Your welcome! Have an awesome thanksgiving weekend!

Bridal Show Coverage - PT.2

This post is picture-intensive. After all, I am showing you why I went gaga (so tempting to buy expensive services) at the bridal show last weekend. I took so many pictures that I had to divide this post up. I have decided to do a peacock themed wedding. I mean look at the photo below - I am just in love with all the colors. Anyways, I will let the photos do the talking now......Enjoy!

How simple and elegant is this food menu?

 teal and black looked great together - unexpected combo!

I am in love with this colorful bouquet!

Love the back design of this dress

Loved this one on the ramp

we can set this up where we will be exchaging our vows - just switch pink with teal/blue

 and we are good to go!

A pretty headpiece

head table decor - Switch marron with teal/blue

Loved the way it was sinched to the side and had ruffles-WOW! - it looked so good on her!

Lace is so romantic and lightweight - how beautiful eh?

Style #2 I liked - One-Shoulder dress

Peacock inspired bridesmaid dress! so different and unique than everything we saw on the ramp!

Hope you enjoyed the coverage! I have few trunk shows (for bridal dresses) to attend in the next little while. I will OFCOURSE do coverage for them too and you guys can help me make my mind. My readers really are the best! =) Thank you to each ONE of you!!

Mr. Fiancee's mom enrolled him and I for a 1.5 day for marriage preperation classes from the church. How thoughtful of her?! I am SO looking forward to what they will teach us or we get to learn more things about each other. We have known each other for 7 years now, but I am sure this session will help us to be a better couple in future.

Have you attended any bridal shows? What did you like the best in coverage? Any thoughts!?

To Keep or Not to Keep?

Shirt: Old NAVY, Scraf: F21, Jacket: H&M, Pants: BR, Purse: Sears

The reason I took front and back pictures of this blazer is because I need help of yours. I got this H&M blazer recenlty and now I don't know if I want to keep it or not. The tag is still on and I got 30 days to return it.

Let me run thru smoe pros and cons with you: Pros: Plaid (so 70's trend), its wool blend so will keep me warm in office, love the bottom cut of it, has elbow patches, suede collar. Cons: Bec it is wool blend, it itches my skin around the neck, cost is $40 (keep in mind I am used to $5 blazers - from thrift stores).

So I dont know. What do you say - Keep or Return?
