Dress Challenge 10 days/10 ways! Day 5

Day 5!

How about yellow accessories? I think they made my look cheerful and summery. Usually yellow associates with Fall season…leaves, grass, but not this shade! Bright yellow screams summer, sun, fun!

It starts getting cold in my part of California. I better think about layering the dress since I have 5 more ways to go for this challenge. 🙂 Stay with me!

 See my yellow picks…Love all of them!

Dress Challenge 10 days/10 ways! Day 4

Day 4!

To add a little more contrast since my previous look, I decided to throw red color into the game. Red is such a bold and contrasting color. It can avoce positive (confident, determined, flirty) or negative (fearful and agressive) emotions depending on situation.

I would like to share with you a few of my favorite handbags of a red color! I love them all!

Dress Challenge 10 days/10 ways! Day 3

Day 3!

Day 3 of my Dress Challenge is here! No strong contrast or bright colors…For this outfit my inspiration was the nature…relaxing earth tones, leather accessories, and leopard.

The necklace, earrings, and the hair piece, that I am wearing today, was given to me by a good friend of mine and a great artist Nina Langraff. She made all of them by hand. This beautiful lady loves making jewelery, and she loves doing mural paintings and decorative work. But her paintings are something else! They are so beaufitul and truly a piece of art! You have to see it to believe it!

Below are just a few of Nina’s paintings that are one of my favorite ones. To see more click here.

Have a great day!

Day 2!

Cyan color can be a great accent color. It’s an interesting color…it’s bright, but calming; it’s contrasting, but relaxing to the eye.

When I think of cyan, I see blue sky. The color also reminds me of the water lagoons in the Carribean islands my husbans and I went last February. Oh my, I just loved that time!

Check out these cute jewelery pieces I saw and liked on the web…

1. Carole Triangle Chandelier Earrings, 2. Kate Spade New York Stud Earrings, 3. Genoa Ring, 4. Simulated Turquoise Circle Pendant, 5. Kendra Scott Cambrie Bracelet

Greenish-blue is also one of my favorite colors, and so I used it pretty often for my nail designs too.
Have a great day!

Low-Carb Protein Cookie

Low-Carb Protein Cookie

Today I would like to share with you a recipe of one of my favorite cookies. I consider it somewhat healthy, because it doesn’t contain flour and white sugar, instead it has good proteins like eggs and peanut butter. Plus, you don’t have to make a special trip to the store to get all the ingredients, they are already in your pantry.

One cookie has approximately 85 calories, 9 g carbohydrate, and 3 g protein.

Low-carb Protein Cookie

1 cup creamy peanut butter

¾ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp sea salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all the ingredients: peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and ginger.
  2. Stir until well blended.
  3. Shape dough into 24 (1-inch) balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
  4. Flatten balls with fork.
  5. Sprinkle every cookie with sea salt.
  6. Bake 10-12 min until cookies are firm and lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets 5 min.

Enjoy…

Dress Challenge 10 days/10 ways! Day 1

Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since I have done a challenge. And so, today I am starting one again…

It’s a Dress Challenge 10 days/10 ways!

Last week I bought this very cute dress. It is of a warm grey color with no prints or motifs. This neutral colored dress looks like a perfect canvas for bright and fun accessories. My imagination was going wild when I started imagining which accessories and what colors I would wear with it…And so, I decided to challenge myself to wear the same dress for 10 days straight, but to look different each day I am wearing it.

I bought the Chain & Bow Cross-Body Handbag by ELLE at Kohl’s. Click here to look at different colors they have or to buy it.

Day 1

Come back to see more! 🙂

DIY Silver Bracelet

Here is an easy and cheap bracelet I made today. I used key chain rings, silver colored beads, and metal pins to make it. I think the bracelet is cute! You will see me wearing it with my outfits very soon. 🙂

 I also made a necklace a while ago using key chain rings and a simple silver chain. You can see me wearing it with my outfits in the photos below:

Have a great day!

And The Winner Is…Photo Sharing Party!!!

A Huge Thank you to those who participated and voted in the Photo Sharing Party #2! We had a blast! Almost 500 people voted!!!!!!! That’s huge! 

I loved all five outfits that were put out for vote. The outfit #2 and the outfit #5 got The Most Votes. In fact, they were chasing each other the whole time throughout the voting process. It was quite a show to watch! The #2 and #5 got so many votes that the fair thing to do in my opinion is to honor both of them, but of course the Winner is the only one! 

Miss October is #2!!!!! Her name is Natasha. Her outfit is simple, but dressy. It is a great example of how accessories can dress you up and make you one stylish lady. Natasha look very pretty! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Like I mentioned, there will be another paricipant honored in this party, because she got a lot of votes too.

 

#5 is Inna! Her outfit is professional and stylish. She looks like a business-lady who is not scared of color and definetely not afraid to be attractive.  

Oh my, you girls rocked this party!

CONGRATULATIONS Natasha!!! Your outfit got the most votes and will be in Photo Sharing Page on my site for the whole month!

 OXOXO

Little Black Dress!

Little black dress is an important staple in women’s wardrobe, and every woman of any age should own one. This simple and elegant dress will help you in any situation and occasion. It will dress you up making you look classic and elegant, or it will also dress you down creating a more casual look. I consider a little black dress an investment, because you can wear it every day and look different and stylish just by changing your accessories and/or adding a few layers. It can be worn for work or for a date night.

I love this dress. I got it before I had my children, and, even though I got a few pounds heavier since then, it still fits me! Yay! 🙂 

I bought the dress at www.cache.com. Since they don’t sell the exact one anymore, I want to share with you the three of my favorite little black dresses that they have in stock. 

      Mesh Stripe Dress             Contour A-Line Dress              Studded Swirl Dress

Mustard Color…Why Not!

Mustard color… why not! This shade of yellow makes me feel cheerful and warm. A pencil skirt, neutral shoes, and pearls helped me create an elegant and professional look. However, the color combination of warm mustard and cool greenish- blue is what brings the drama the look! The neutral handbag and shoes slightly calms the contrast between the two colors. These accessories also balance the outfit by making it more pleasing to the eye and not so busy.

Mustard color overload…check this out! Which one is your favorite?

1. Jacket Forever 21, 2. Flower Necklace Etsy, 3. Handbag Nanette Lepore, 4. Shirt Forever 21, 5. Dress Ellen Tracy, 6. Shoes Chinese Laundry, 7. Bracelet Etsy, 8. Pants Charlotte Russe.

Enjoy!
