Last minute gifts for her

Struggling to find something amazing but within budget to put under the tree for her?

I've got some tips and pointers as to where to look and what to look for.

Styling awkward-length hair

I cut my hair short a couple months ago while I was still pregnant with Klay because I knew it would be awhile before I would have time to go to the Salon to get my hair done again.

Little did I know, it grew out so quickly! And now I am in the awkward phase of wanting-to-grow-out-my-hair-but-it-takes-time -_- I miss being able to do my messy top knots so much!

Little Red Skirt

With a white T-shirt...

Pink Clouds !

I love anything that is beautiful effortlessly,

...and this,

was just surreal.

Pink clouds happen all the time,

it's just that it will never cease to amaze me 

how beautiful the sun makes the clouds and sky look
when it is saying 'goodnight, see you again tomorrow..'

Like nothing else in this world.

Such wonderful things surround us,

but it's up to you whether you see it or not.

Living in such a busy city,

with everyone's heads down and eyes on their phones even when they get outdoors,

these beautiful sights get neglected.

So I hope,

if you follow me on instagram

or read my blog,

you will at least get glimpses of these beautiful things

here and there

through my amateur lenses.

Happy Hump Day, people.

Jelly? Sandals.

These jelly sandals are phenomenal.

Super soft and super comfy.

(and mine being clear allows for my pedicures to shine through :D)

I can walk all day without feeling like i've been in plastic sandals all day!

They go well with all kinds of summer outfits,

but if in doubt,

an over-the-knee skater skirt is always safe.

Suddenly summer

When it feels like summer,

you have to dress like summer.

in just the right tone,

in just the right colours,

with just the right print

of just the right fruit.

My summer shorts are better than yours.

and they are not just plain old boring shorts.

They are made of length-appropriate flaps

or otherwise known as

slit-front shorts !

Super breezy, super comfortable, super awesome.

My horizontal SUN Cèline tote completes the look perfectly

with just enough room for nothing-much-needed : P

cuz what do you need to carry around when you are just chillaxing?

<Stanley, Hong Kong>

Simplicity,

Relaxation,

Comfort

and Style.

Perfect weekend material.

Even the weather

is romantic in Paris.

i took this.

i really did.

looks like one of those pictures that comes up

when you google "la tour Eiffel" or "Eiffel Tower"

but no,

i took it.

Effortlessly.

that is how beautiful she really is.

i knew you wouldn't believe me,

so i took a pic of our view outside of our little romantic balcony 

before i went out every day

it's funny, in Paris.

The day usually starts out pretty gloomy and cloudy,

but as the day goes on,

the sun crawls out

behind fluorescent white clouds on a bright blue canvas.

it's almost like Love.

True love is never just blue skies and sunshine

there are always times where haze becomes allies with clouds

and everything just seems unpredictable.

It is then that we use the senses we are so blessed to have

to feel our way through

to make sense of it all

and then when the skies clear up, 

we realize how much closer

how much more in love 

we have become.

It's just so amazing.

xoxo,

mandeeeee
