"You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty and irresistible for the rest of your life”. - Coco Chanel
Welcome back FI readers!
How was your week? I had a super busy beginning of the week. Last day of school was on Wednesday, yay. I took most of Thursday getting pampered and rejuvenated from all the hard work during the school year. Also stopped for a few minutes to take these pictures. The day ended with a nice dinner and a movie night with my daughters. I don’t know about you but I live for the movie house popcorn drenched in butter. I usually eat that, cozy up and go to sleep. My family wakes me up at the end of the movie. That is my movie house routine. I kid you not, hehe. Thursday was different though. The movie Jurassic World had me wide awake and eyes fixated on the screen the whole time. Just a couple blinks here and there maybe, lol. If you haven’t seen it I recommend you do. And hey, drench that popcorn with butter and seasonings. Cry about the calories later.
June is such a special month for me. Two of my sisters have birthdays. One last Sunday the 7th and the other tomorrow the 14th. And then my younger daughter has a birthday coming up on the 24th as well. She and my nephew were born on the same day and we call them twin cousins. So as you can imagine the celebration mode is activated, hehe.

So as you can imagine the celebration mode is activated, hehe.
Summer is very much around the corner and we’ve enjoyed some warm days but nippy spring temps still linger on other days. A turtle neck crop top is a way to embrace spring yet keep warm. Crop tops were very popular in summers past and have made a return this summer along with their lil cousin the bra top that’s being rocked by fashionistas all over including my humble self.
Pair with a full tulle skirt for a dressed up glam and trendy look like I did (here) or keep it casual like I did with this gray skinny pants and a denim jacket for my day out and about with my daughters on Thursday. Wear a crop top with a short skirt for that feminine, girly and delicate look or even under denim overalls for a beach ready look. They are very versatile and look great with pretty much everything.
Are you having a crop top obsession? How are you styling them?

Deleteyour body is rocking!! What's your workout routine like? And as always you look flawless!!! xx lovejoystyles.com
ReplyDeleteMy routine is whatever I can fit in whenever I have a minute during my very busy days. Now that I'm on Summer break I make good use of my early mornings working out. Thanks Ronlet, have a great day.
DeleteI love your make-up, Idu. I don't wear crop tops but they rather appeal to me best when worn with a high-waisted skirt. Thanks for the Coco Chanel quote. She was both fashionable and wise.

I love to wear them with high waisted skirts and pants. The midriff baring is definitely not a go to and staple look for me either. Around the house maybe, hehe. It was a fun day with this fun look tho. Thanks Izabela, xx...

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely and kind words! Yes, I believe that women can and should fly. Having kids shouldn't hold anyone down neither should age. Have fun while you can, it's life and it's fleeting. Thanks a lot darling, Xo...
