Pop of Coral


This was an outfit I wore day before last we got on the plane. We went to a big kid party. Since I will be parting closets with my mom decided to wear something from her closet while I had easy access. I loved this dress because of the peaking black lace underneath. The black and white design was the perfect base to use a pop of color. I would have gone bolder, possibly purple or hot pink but this coral red belt and necklace combo was the only thing I had with me. Shoes was another problem. I had nothing that really went. These wedges are my mom's and they are very worn out but it was the only thing that worked. If I was home and had full access would have come up with something better but oh well...

Had no opportunity for a photo shoot so just using the photos taken with my cutie pie at the party...

I am back in the States finally. Confession, spent the first entire day in my nightgown un packing and organizing. I actually got dressed up today to run stupid errands trying to activate my ATM, Credit card and cell phone but had no time for photos.

Another swim edition...


This is another scheduled post while I am on the road...
This number is my 2nd favorite this year. Bought this one from Turkey as well. It has more coverage in the front than I would like but I loved the molded top and the gold belt. Later my aunt pointed out the black design in the front is a 'crab'! It goes all the way to the back...




Swim Suit - Ay Yildiz (from Turkey)

Here is another 'Monokini' I wear all the time... This was not really a photo shoot but a photo my mom took while on the beach...
This is my classic pose at the beach: Constantly standing and holding my daughter or son...

Swim Suit Edition


Finally decided what the heck and posting my swim suit photos. This is my favorite. Bought it this year from the most famous swim suit maker in Turkey. The style is so different and I love the simple colors. But what I love the most is even though it looks super fancy and couture it is the most comfortable swim suit I own. It stays put on the botton and top. The middle strap is made out of the same swim suit material and you tie it to fit your body. I have a huge scar due to a complicated birth with my daughter so I have to wear a style like this where my scar in the middle is covered. However, my upper body (torso) is shorter compared to my height and legs so the middle connecting piece always seems to sag on me when I sit. Not this suit, it fits and stays put like a gove. The top has very light built in pads that keeps its shape.

Cover photo was taken on the boat. The photos below were taken by my husband when we went to a hip beach club together... You can see I styled the suit with earings and bangles.
