Kids Clothing Available!

 Hey guys, we have been going through a lot of changes in the last day or two. It's been very tough and at times stressful. Unfortunately, I also decided to close down my Cocoa & Hearts kids shop because I was spreading myself too thin.  But we have a BIG SALE there and all tees & sweaters are now 30% off, everything must go! 

Also, many moms have asked about Noah's clothing & if I was selling the items that no longer fit him. I've been meaning to do this for a long time now! he will be 2 years old next month, and I finally got around to posting some online for sale. Finally. Please visit that sale here.

ZARA KIDS

I didn't even know Zara had a kids section, until a friend of mine mentioned it.  Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I visited their online kids store.  I decided to order a few pieces & I'm in love with the quality & stylish pieces they offer.  I gathered a few of my fave items for little boys (of course), that I have, or hope to get for Noah.  The clothes are really nice, and about mid-range prices...

Have you shopped Zara Kids yet??

Below is my little guy wearing the tee-pee pants from Zara Kids , one of my favorites.  He's also sporting some cute little 'batman' super-hero shoes from Sahnda Marie Kids

Have a nice weekend! Happy Good Friday.

New FALL Wardrobe

As we get closer to Fall weather - we usually end up buying a few items to fit the season.

As for me,  I ended up picking this leather jacket from Zara which is versatile and super chic at the same time.  It's the type of jacket you can wear almost everyday with a pair of jeans. If you want to get away from your plain-Jane black boots, try these cow hair booties by Matisse via Revolve. These will DEF give you a fashionable appearance!

Will you be shopping for a FALL wardrobe?

FASHION: Pop of Color

Hi everyone, Adri here of Adri's World. Since my last post was about winter neutrals, I felt that a "pop of color" would be the perfect follow up! 

Sometimes all you need to brighten up your look is a great bold bag, jewelry or maybe a pair of gloves for those cloudy, dark days. If you want to have a daily pop of color, how about a bright wallet in bubble gum pink? I think it would make shopping even more fun!  Color can be added to a monochromatic look or can be worn together to really make a statement. I love how that coat adds a bit of color to an otherwise classic and simple black and white look and with Valentine's Day around the corner, those sexy sandals would be the perfect addition to any outfit.

Do you wear bright colors in the winter or do you prefer them for the warmer weather?

Pants Trend

I'm really loving this black & white pants trend. Have you seen it? Today's Goop email had Gwyneth Paltrow in this super cute outfit with my favorite Rag & Bone pants - so I decided to create my own look based on her outfit.  

I thought a more casual, but similar style would be best suited for me....& not as bright...what do you think??

Are you loving this black & white pants trend or not?

Camo Gear on Birthday

I realized that as we get older some things don't matter as much. These days the most important things to me are my family & my faith. So, even if turning 39 (last week) wasn't the best news, it's nice to know (this year) I'm having 3 celebrations. 

I've already celebrated a few days ago - on my b-day with my sweet husband where he cooked up a nice meal for us + dessert! Today I'll be celebrating with my family + it's also my mom's birthday! Last but not least - this Friday I'll celebrate with my wonderful friends from church, all whom I cherish so much. It's a bit of a surprise party for me, meaning my guy is planning most of it, all he asked me to do was PLAN MY OUTFIT.

So, here it goes. Like many of you ladies, I LOVE fashion. 

One trend in particular I've been spotting is the ARMY & camouflage look. From tops, to jackets, to shoes, to even clutches. This trend is all about mixing up the camo gear with bright NEONS, gold accessories or just wearing it casually.  I'm really loving this look above, it's now the INSPIRATION for my B-day outfit this Friday! 
 

So far, I've got the pants from Zara, the gorgeous Brickel handbag from Alexandra Satine, the heels from Vera Wang & of course the jewelry from my own shop, MadeByGirl.

These are the camo pants I bought here at Zara - aren't they cute?!?? They fit really well too, although I found they run a bit small. I'm normally a size 4 - but had to get a size 6.

The jewelry is mostly from my shop. The cross bracelet I wear almost everyday. However the 'Jesus' bracelet is a piece I had a local street vendor make for me, it's also a favorite of mine!

The Alexandra Satine Brickel handbag. This bag is AWESOME! From looking at it you wouldn't guess, but it is a convertible handbag. You're like, "what is she talking about???" - Well, I'll just quote from Alexandra's site.

"It is Stylish yet practical by removing the bottom portion to be used as an over the shoulder bag. The tote comes with inside pockets while the bottom portion once turned into a bag has a top zipper, inside pockets and a front slip pocket. Comes with removable and adjustable chain."

The Vera Wang heels are my fave part of this outfit. I've been wanting a pair of cuff heels & finally got these.

Now, I'm off to find an interesting shirt to complete the look! Do you dress up for your birthday? What did you wear??

My New Year's Eve Outfit...

For a couple of weeks now, I've been thinking of what the heck to wear. I can't seem to tear my mind off all the awesome GOLD out there. So, I went out & purchased my NYE sequin dress in gold via Michael Kors. It's the same dress featured here & available here. 

My guy gave me an early Christmas gift - the gold link MK ring, which I've wanted for a few months now, how sweet is he? 

The super sexy stilettos in the photos are from Zara. The heel is silver.....DARN.  I wonder if I should bother painting it gold??? Thoughts? I'm also accessorizing with this cute leather fold over clutch, available soon on MadeByGirl!
 
So what do you think? Will you also be dressing in gold this new year?

A little Bit of Fashion Trend.....(Via Made by Girl)

I swear, there's a FAUX FUR vest trend all over the place! I walked into Michael Kors last weekend & I couldn't help but notice them. Of course, I tried one on  and I loved it! I REALLY may consider getting it for the Winter. Also, have you  noticed that Military jackets are back?!? YES, military jackets.

Hey, I have no complaints...I've always LOVED them, in fact so much so that this weekend I bought the light colored one below at Zara! I think it was about $169.....However, while I was shopping at Zara, I noticed how much attention that particular jacket was getting.... so I quickly GRABBED the only size Medium they had! 

Have you seen the faux fur vests & military jackets?  Which trend sparks your interest? Which would you wear??!

2.  J. Crew
3.  revolve clothing
