Cozy Sweaters Under $100

Today is a new day and a new year. This year brings us the feeling of a new beginning; to start fresh, create new ideas and make new goals.

I like to spend the remaining few days of my kid’s Winter-break drinking coffee while wearing my cozy sweater. This is the time for me to gather new thoughts while spending time with them.

Lately, I have been feeling the need of “purpose in life.” I want to do something more in my life. My three kids will be all in school this year, which means I will have freedom at-last! LOL

I will be going back to school to study nursing this year. I’m extremely excited because both of my sister and mother are RN’s. It’s a wonderful and rewarding job!

Anyway, I love wearing a sweater because it’s so comforting great in keeping me warm all day. What is your “go-to” all day cozy outfit?

Below are my top picks of cozy sweaters under $100;

Matte Milky Brick with Bronze Gradient Fall Sunglasses

DETAILS | TOKYO SUNGLASSES | BLACK VEST | BLACK LEATHER BOOTS | PINK LIPSTICK

Happy Thanksgiving week to all. I’m extremely excited to celebrate the holidays this week because I will be cooking for the entire fam bam. I will be posting pictures on here. Anyway, how amazing are these sunglasses? They are called the Tokyo Sunglasses by MVMT. I picked the matte milky brick with bronze gradient color because they’re perfect for the Fall season. I matched these sunglasses with black vest and black long sleeves. I seriously feel like a “biker chic.”

Basic Touch-Up Essentials

Basic Touch-Up Essentials

While creating flawless and beautiful make-up is one thing, maintaining it to be that way all day and night is another issue to think about. For a person with combination of oily and dry skin, I deal with 2 problems; face will turn shiny after few hours or makeup will crease due to dryness. So what’s a girl to do to solve this massive problem? Aha! Yes, I always bring my “touch-up makeup” with me inside my purse. By the way how adorable is this red purse?

You can get this at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CH21HG4

What Makeup to Bring

You do not have to bring your entire makeup case to keep your face looking fresh all day and night. Adding more makeup will make your face seem “caky.” I use the Invisimatte Blotting Powder Universal by Fenty Beauty. This has been my go-to product to keep my t-zone shine free. It’s also good for fixing the crease on my skin. You can use the applicator it comes with, however, I prefer using my Japonesque Fluff Concealer Brush. This is one of my brushes that I can’t live without. It’s the perfect size for my under-eye area and small enough to fit my purse.

Next on my list is the RMS cream foundation (shade 33) I have blogged about this foundation since day one. I can’t stress enough how great this product is; It’s organic, insanely small packaging and it has great coverage. Sometimes touching your face or any incident which wipes off your makeup can happen. Having a small foundation on hand will be very helpful.

Lastly, do not forget to bring lipstick or lip-gloss. I have lipsticks in my car and in all my purses because the key to looking fresh is having your lip-color “on-point” at ALL times.

Accessory that Works with Every Look

DETAILS | Orion Nova Series 38 MM

Time is everything to me. I definitely do not waste any time! I feel like the older I get the faster time goes by.

How adorable is this Orion Nova Series 38 MM watch by MVMT? It is a great accessory for an “everyday” and “dressy” look.

The gold tone is perfect for Fall and Winter. Match this watch with biker leather boots and you will be golden!

Summer in Burgundy

DETAILS | BODYCON MIDI DRESS |

You can buy this dress at –> https://touchurban.com/collections/women/products/burgundy-satin-party-club-dress-deep-v-neck-women-summer-sexy-bodycon-strap-ruched-ladies-midi-dress?aaa_affiliate_id=TNiiPvJCI3VXu4lK-CVFqgetlk3zu78qxbHltdWNpto

Summer is almost over. Can you believe it? Last night was another hot night in LA. My husband and I decided to have a date-night on a Monday night. We went to a bar/restaurant called Perch. Perch is a rooftop bar and restaurant with wonderful views of downtown skyline. I wore this body-con midi dress by Touch Urban, and seriously it is such a breath-taking dress! It fits like a glove. The burgundy color is so eye-catching and satin feels amazing on my body, perfect for a 90 degree weather. I’ve always been a big fan of midi-dresses. The length of a midi dress makes you look sexy, elegant and slimmer.

Paul and I had a great time. I love spending time with him. We do not get enough one-on-one time with each other anymore since we’re always busy with our jobs and the kids. However, I always make sure to have at-least once a week date-night with him. It’s very important for couples to make time for each other to keep that LOVE alive.

Elegant Feelin’

DETAILS | MULTI COLORED FLARE DRESS |

What a beautiful day to wear some elegant outfit! Tonight is the opening of the Metropolis in Downtown Los Angeles. It’s one of those events, where you have to wear something dressy. I found this amazing Vince Camuto dress on-sale at Nordstrom Rack. I wouldn’t be surprise, if this dress is not available anymore. However, there are other colors to choose from. Pair this amazing dress with bone color or bright white sandals. Lastly, to polish this look wear a grey shoulder bag. Grey looks good with any dress and any shoes. You will look so elegant and marvelous!

My Love for Black Sunglasses

| DETAILS | BLACK SUNGLASSES | BLACK HALTER SWIMSUIT |

Black Sunglasses –> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CP38FRK

My love for black sunglasses is so real because they make my face look slimmer. These sunglasses are also extra comfy and very light-weight because the frame is made of rubber not

metal. I have had a hard-time finding comfortable and stylish sunglasses for my face due to my nose. The bridge of my nose is lower because of my Asian descent. Every-time I go to the beach,

the sunglasses I wear slip off so easily when I sweat. I love these sunglasses by Kent King Eye-wear because they stay on my face no matter what and they look amazing on me. I can’t believe how

affordable these shades are. They are under $100. Moreover they don’t leave a mark on my nose, which is a plus.

My family and I went to Malibu to hang out in the beach. It was such a beautiful day. My kids are in-love with the ocean. We end up going to Paradise Cove. This place is so perfect for families. I

recommend going to Paradise Cove Cafe and ordering their crab taco. It is unbelievably delicious!

It’s unbelievable the crazy good deals you will find today on Amazon Prime Deal Day till tomorrow the 17th of August. They will not last long so hurry up grab your faves! I picked this black and white dress which is comfortable to wear anywhere I go. This dress is so perfect for hot Summer days. Scarlett’s jumpsuit is too cute. The color blue compliments her skin color. We went to Malibu today to look for perfect places to take pictures and found this adorable place called Paradise Cove. This area is wonderful for families with little kids. You don’t have to do any dangerous hiking to get to the beach. We tried going to Point Dume state park, but it was too risky for kids.

How about this adorable outfit of Clodagh? The denim shorts are too cute not to wear all Summer long. She was so excited to wear this outfit today. What are your favorite places to take pictures at?

Happy Shopping! 😉
