copykat.

i happen to be a big kardashian fan. what i like most about them are their outfits. they know how to dress for their curves and they always manage to look sexy, yet classy. so its no surprise that i'm often inspired by them.

the outfit below was completely inspired by kim, down to the nail color. i had to improvise with the hat and belt, of course, but i think it may have come close enough.  

jeans: express
shirt: express
shoes: bakers
watch: target
bag: mulberryfor target
necklace: t&co
belt: target
fedora: store in miami

pineapple and mint.

it was so hot today i decided i thought it was good idea to finally use up the deliciously ripe pineapple sitting on our counter. my sister usually makes a pineapple and mint drink whenever we visit. i thought it was my turn to try. it was quite easy to make and quite refreshing. perfectly suiting for the weather.

{simple ingredients: pineapple and freshly picked mint}

a little neon in my life.

so here's another outfit post this week. i wanted to post a different kind of post today to keep things more interesting but as i said here, i won't put any pressure on my self. so this is what i got, and it is what it is.
now about this dress which i just love love love. i specifically love the racer back and the neon with grey. i added a colorful sports bra because i just happened to have one that matched. i think i loved this dress because it reminded me of  this dress when i saw it hanging at the zara sales rack. except it's a more summery, relaxed version. which is perfect for the hot weather we've been suffering! as my friend brooke says: bah hambug at this nasty weather. but yay for this adorable dress i scored at zara.



dress: zara (S)
sandals: bakers (S)
jewelery: tiffany (SSS)

sportsbra: target (S)
bag: louis vuitton neverful gm ($$$$)
cute puppy: priceless (SSSSS...SS?)





thanks for stopping by,

i had a great weekend. after traveling with the hubs for two weeks i was ready to settle down at home and spend some qt with the family. we went to my parents house sunday for a bbq during the day, and when the sun went down we all went for a walk. there were so many laughs. it was such wonderful time spent with the best people in the world. i love home. i love family.

well, hello again.

i've taken a small vacation from my blog. and i've contemplated coming back many times and have talked myself out of it, because of lack of time or a camera. but i realized i keep making excuses because the reality is, it's a lot of work! it requires a good amount of time and sometimes i just don't have it. but i've realized that there are no rules when it comes to my blog. its my voice, my ideas and i won't put pressure on myself because of it. so here i go again venturing into this blog sphere. let me catch you up on what's been going on.

Husband's Birthday Weekend

Hello friends!

Sorry I've been a little MIA lately. It's been crazy lately and I'm also in the midle of finals {which will be over in a week, hooray!}

Anyways, for husband's birthday I decided to plan a special weekend for him. The plan was for us to go to a Wolf Mountain Winery, have lunch at their delicious cafe outlooking the beautiful GA mountains, enjoy some of their delicious wines, and relax in the nice chilly weather. I booked the night at a small B&B in the mountains so we wouldn't have to drive back after so much wine. 

The weekend  was perfect! The food was delish and the wine was goooo-oood.

We also met this cute couple and we instantly became friends. {We ended up going to dinner with them that night and had a really good time!} 



Delicious Margarita pizza

Blazer: H&M, Sweater: Zara, Undershirt: Hanes, Jeans: Don't remember, Boots: Zara, Bag: Speedy 30

 


loved how this guy was rocking the elbow patches, specially since I was also rocking elbow patches on my Zara sweater




Wine barrels full of wine, of course!




Our new friends, Natalia and Worth






I wish I had taken more pictures of the day/weekend.

But I may, or may not have had a little too much wine and forgot to!

God bless,

Jules 

Black Friday

Happy Black Friday!

Did you go shopping today?

I didn't. I don't do black friday very well. I usually end up buying things I don't need, because I'm very much of an impulse buyer. I usually figure that whatever I absolutely need, I should be able to afford to pay for its full price.

This past week, I ventured out into some DIY projects. I'm still working on one of them.

And the other, I wore yesterday!

Maegan from ...love Maegan did this DIY and I just could not help myself. Specially since I had been wanting a faux fur coat for a while now. It was extremely easy to do. And if you like mine, I strongly encourage you to do it. I thought about writing out my steps, but I figured Maegan did a much better job. You really should just follow her steps.

And here it is, Voila!

{Too bad I didn't get a closer picture of it, and I'm sorry the quality came out so poor}

      

I hope you had lots to eat! And it was wonderful!

 We had so much food.

I always like how beautiful my mom makes the table look!

God Bless,

Jules
