{ Graduation! the start of a new beginning }

I was so in a hurry to find a dress that I could wear on my graduation day and was looking for any color except for black. Why did I say except for “black” The reason being was after conducting a research about what to wear on a graduation ceremony, here’s what I found: Most of the answers on line mentioned about black colour clothes being not such a good idea. It confused me for a while and wondering why not? Apparently, “they” said that your graduation gown is already in black colour, it would be better to pair it with something different (color wise) inside. Also, wearing something black underneath your gown may be a little uncomfortable especially if the room temperature at the place where the graduation ceremony is being held will be warm. Since ceremonies like graduations are too long (mine was about 2 and a half hrs), you’ll be in your gown for that long as well. You may sweat.  But then again, this depends on the building’s temperature.

{ ...and then there's Cape Town }

Cape Town, South Africa is one of the world's best cities and seven days in this place was not enough. This City has so much to offer that in seven days we couldn't get to see it all. We went to one of the vineyard that’s in the area and did a tour inside the whole property (can’t remember the exact name of the place). Part of the tour was showing us where they make and store the wine.  The storage area was huge and cold, it was crazy seeing big wood barrels on top of one another, labeled and dated. Lastly, the best part of the tour (for me of course) was the wine and cheese tasting.

Except for the top, my whole outfit here is from South Africa, including the purse. Top is from Macy's :)

{ Winter Wonderland }

Last year December, I was looking for a stylish coat but warm at the same time. Went through different websites that sells coat and I came across this Jessica Simpson brand coat in burgundy color, found it at Nordstrom online store. At first I was a little skeptical about buying it because I was not familiar with the Jessica Simpson line. However, as you can see, I did bought the coat and surprisingly, the coat is perfect in every way! It fits my petite body, not too long nor too short, it has a perfect shape on the waistline, and it is super stylish and warm, just exactly what I’m looking for. I also love the fact that it has three different style around the neck area; first, you can leave it open (shows your neck) if you’re warm; second, halfway close (left side closes more than the right), or third, close it all the way to cover your neck up to your chin, no need for scarf. Also, the coat just screams quality.  You won't be disappointed. I look forward to buying more winter coat from her line.
