DIY Cover Up With Pom Poms ( kaftan)

How to make a pom pom cover-up kaftan- Chic Punta Cana all inclusive all adult resort

I few weeks before my trip to Punta Cana With Sunwing vacations, I started looking around for cover ups. I wanted a fun and colorful one that I could wear both in and out of the beach. Sadly, the ones that really caught my eyes did not come in my size. I am sure you know the rest of the story. Frustration and anger started to get the best of me. To think that in 2017 we still can’t find what we love when it comes to clothing is unbelievable. With my minimal sewing skills, I made one for myself and this is the result. It was inspired by this Pom-pom Trim Beach Cover-up that Merrick Art made a few years back. Check out her post for all the instructions on how to make your own cover up. Feel free to also check these stores on Etsy  for some options. Read More »

Spring Wish List Ft Primaala

 

Happy Monday Loves ! I hope you’ve managed to survive another week of extreme cold. I kept myself busy all weekend with house work and I am also in the midst of redoing our guest bedroom (pictured) which will be revealed on the blog soon.

Since I’ve transitioned to a full-time blogger, my days can run anywhere from dropping the kids to school, brand meetings, pulls to events. The less I think about what to wear in the morning the better. That’s why I am adding more classic, timeless and quality pieces to my wardrobe. Read More »

I can’t tell you how much I love this fit and flare Dress. Unfortunately, it only goes up to a size 20. I have linked to Fit and Flare dresses below and also other dresses you can wear now and later.

On days when it’s not too cold, my go-to for fall is this beautiful long cardigan. It’s so cozy and soft! I love pairing it with long sleeve tees and jeans or in this case my super cute faux leather skirt. This laid back look is perfect for weekends. I wish you all a beautiful Monday. Read More »

Happy Friday everyone ! I hope had a great week. I spent my week working, attending a few events and of course doing homework with the kids. If you ever want to see what my week looks like behind the scenes, make sure to follow me on Snapchat. That is where all the craziness happens. I am rocking a very casual yet very chic Fall look today.  A long sleeve tee is one of my absolute Fall must haves. I grabbed this same shirt in blue and red stripes during a recent trip to Old Navy. If you wait for a good sale you might be able to them for almost nothing. Oh ! you can also find great Fall look ideas on my Pinterest board. Read More »
