Hawaiian style

On our vacation in Hawaii, this time we decided to be Hawaiian. I planned for a men's matching shirts for a photo session but when we started checking out the stores I found my matching dress too, and me and Mr.Simplyxstylish decided we are going to have a family Hawaiian theme session.

My look:
Dress, earrings, bracelet and necklace are are from Hawaii local stores/ shoes similar/ Hat old like this too.

Beach Blue!!

On my recent vacation had very many beachy days, so fun but so tiring too plus with water baby it difficult to come out of water even if I want too.
So after a day of snorkeling at Kanapalli beach, Maui I decided to just throw this simple midi so hot and humid rest of my day. Comfort was my need which this dress gave along with style.

 

Dress(available in 6 colors)/ Hat( local store Hawaii)/Lipstick

Summer Maxi

Last month we took a vacation at Maui and what a great break it was. Everyday routine is good but after a stretch it is exhausting so we packed our bag and stood at the airport ;)
To tell you the truth it we had to plan for our toddler because staying at hotels with no access to kitchen is a nightmare as Mr.V is still learning to eat all what we eat plus he is not fond of eating hotel food :( All that in another post.

Dress not online but love this / shoes similar / my bun wrap is actually a bracelet brought from local Maui shop

Flower's on my skirt!!

Who does not love flowers especially when it on such a gorgeous dress!!
Past weekend I was visiting Penn state to attend my little brother's graduation ceremony, and I was awestruck at how beautiful it is. Lush green trees and open grounds everywhere. In Cali, it has recently become so crowded that all I see is buildings and new construction :(

Something off-shoulder

Well I am trying to get out of my comfort zone and try some new colors and styles. Even though I am a bit late in the bandwagon of off-shoulder dress it's better late than never ;)
This time its green off-shoulder top that I have tried when I was vacationing in Hawaii. I tend to wear weather suitable and comfortable clothes during vacation as it makes me feel relaxed and in this hot Hawaiian weather it was very much needed.

This top is a steal, got it only for $8 :). Kept it simple with my harem pants for dinner on a cool breezy evening.

Life on the beach is fantastic esp when you have a water loving kid, along with that great is the food. On a side note: what a difference water makes in terms of taste of food. Even the simple food tasted so good I was longing for more(and I am not a foodie).

We tried this amazing place "Coconut Fish Cafe" in Maui and it is has indescribable fish tacos with mango chunks sprinkled on top, the best ones in Maui. My kid who never tasted fish had it and had all my fish pieces from the tacos :(
Its must to go place!!

Top cannot find it online but its from Loft/ Pants similar 

Summer and neon's

Hi Everyone!! Hope you are having a fabulous week.

Lately neon's had been in fashion be it yellow or orange, they always looked nice and bright but felt out of my league so this time I went out of my comfort zone and tried this beautiful neon orange maxi skirt and did I mention it has pockets (I love when dresses and skirts have pockets atleast I can keep my phone ;) ) I know I know its a long piece of neon but it is beautiful and not to forget comfortable.

Since I did wanted to highlight this skirt I added a subtle white print tee(and surprise surprise its only $5) and a traditional chunky neckpiece with bright lips. Kept it simple and adorable.

Its getting difficult day by day to take pics with a toddler as half of the time we have to run behind him, and now as I see him and shoot his pictures everyday I have realized he has grown so much and so soon. He is no more a baby he is a big boy now who loves to repeat all what we say.

Quick Easy and comfortable

We generally do an outing on Saturday's to enjoy with Mr.V and this weekend we went to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. We left early to enjoy the whole day at the Zoo so this is what I decided to go for quick and comfortable look.

A simple tank and jeans with cute comfiest gladiators. The tank is of a beautiful soft silky material, which is so good for these hot temperatures, I paired it with a loose double fold jeans. Ahh and the best were these amazing beautiful gladiators which were so comfortable to run behind my toddler the whole day.
Seriously he never wanted to leave the Zoo( we were asked to leave the zoo as it was closing time ;) ).

Weekend in Japan Town!!

This past weekend we decided to stroll through Japan Town San Francisco.
This place is not as extensive as China town but is good a shopping mall of all Japanese products, food et all.

After the 1906 Earthquake many Japanese and Japanese Americans relocated to the area where you see SF Japantown today. WWII broke out and 120,000 Japanese Americans were ordered to pack up and leave. They were sent to 10 relocation camps. After the war, the neighborhood changed to reflect the more dispersed character of the postwar community, from Nihonjin Machi to Nihonmachi, or “Japantown.” Urban renewal or “Redevelopment” resulted in the displacement of thousands of established residents. Scores of businesses closed, stately Victorians and other structures were moved or destroyed. 30 blocks of Nihonmachi was reduced to less than 10 blocks.  
The 1960’s brought the Japan Cultural and Trade Center which is now called Japan Center mall. This 5 acre property houses specialty shops and restaurants. SF Japantown is one of only three Japantowns remaining in the U.S. today.

This top is so beautiful Popsicle print and not to mention pure cotton. Love the look and feel. My skin is very sensitive so I am very cautious about the clothes I buy and this one is the best 😊.

Just couldn't let go this beautiful wall...

I do not think she likes me bringing her in frame!! Oops sorry...

He loved running behind pigeons and poor pigeons got scared and ran away ;)

Their crepes are yummiest tasty and you just cannot eat only one!! Plus Japanese sweets are very less on sweeter side which is what I like, infact their icecream had taste rather than just being sweet.

 
On a side note since was in town and near to the very famed DOSA restaurant decided to try it.. hmmm it was fine nothing that great apart from the ambience but it on a bit expensive side. Nevertheless a good try!!

Ruffles and a pop of Red!!

I always used to shy away from lipstick when you have very sensitive skin the chemicals from these lipsticks just made my lips chappy.
After multiple attempts over the years I have derived a way that makes my lips happy (doing the happy dance).

I decided to do this post earlier but Mr.Simplyxstylish caught a bug last week and passed it on to me so was sick over the weekend :(, long weekend plans were doomed(sob sob..)

 This is a very basic and simple combination I did on account of America's Independence Day celebration which was on 4th of July.

I immediately fell in love with this ruffle top as my eyes laid on it, its a very simple but versatile one. I can think of so many ways it can be paired and you will be seeing many of them here on the blog!! This time paired it simple with blue jeans and red lips.

Added a zing with this gorgeous thread pearl neckpiece bought from a small shop in India. This neckpiece adds a glam to the whole look. Not to forget these comfiest wedges, though I already have a decent height these wedges takes me to a new level, they look and feel the best.

Hope you like it.

Chambray and Harem

Animal print has been in fashion since very long. They have been coming in skirts, dresses, flats and in pants, though they are a staple in your closet pairing them could be a task apart from solid's (especially something other than black and white).


Recently for our day trip in this scorching heat to Henry Cowell state park I decided to wear these pants with Dark Chambray button down shirt. A very simple and pleasant combination and not to mention very cool and comfortable attire for a hot California day.

Henry Cowell is a redwood state park with beautiful touching the sky tall trees, so its windy and chilly always :) They have beautiful park to play have parties, baby showers, birthdays and awesome steam engine train.

Did not have high hopes from this combination but it turned out to be great pairing as evident in the pictures.

Harem pants and great for summers and especially this one which is 100% cotton and silky soft pjyama material which are good to wear for travel, day picnics or for sunny days & colder nights(just like CA).


I bought these harem pants a while ago and paired it only with few plain solids but recently I have started pairing it with prints and different solid shirts and the outcome was definitely a thumbs up!!

Pants similar/ top/ shoes.

So what do you think about the combination? Thumbs up or thumbs down, do let me know.

Lake Tahoe [cont..]

Day 2

Mr.Simplyxstylish decided to find and surprise us with this new location, The Sand Harbor Beach at Incline Village Nevada. Located just few miles away from Nevada-Cali border. A serene beauty, indeed!!

We went just before summer started so were lucky as it was not too crowded. Its a pretty far stretched beach with a lot of parking space.
It was a delight for my eyes to look at the beautiful multi colored water, they say "Water is just the reflection of God's mood!!", well it sure is.

A selfie pic with my handsome dude!!

    This is how he showed his love to papa for choosing such beautiful beach. Muuuaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!

 Some mommy time, yeah!!

Mr.V spent some more quality time with GrandMa who was about to leave for India in few days. Miss you Grandma, esp by Ma, Love Mr.V

 

Mr.Simplyxstylish exploring the beach when our cutie was napping.

This was the beautiful house(Mom posing) we rented nearby downtown which was great for easy commute. This house was great and Mr.V decided to jump, hop run and learn climbing the stairs at this house.

 We tried to match atleast our top/shirt's color :)

In morning we had breakfast at Driftwood Cafe downtown's famous breakfast place, they have all kind's of Omletes, tacos, nachos, pancakes and what not. They kept my toddler busy with color till I ate which was very sweet of them.

We ate at "The Bite" in downtown Incline village, its a Tapas style restaurant with amah-zing chicken sliders, yum yum,we couldn't suffice our tongue with one so we had two ;) Plus there was Chick-Pea(Chole) Indian style served with Quinoa and Lettuce a great pick for Indian Veggie Mom.
Mr.V found a beautiful friend sitting on the immediate next table and they both had fun interacting with each other.

Days at Tahoe go by so quickly that Mr.Simplyxstylish decided next time its going to be a month long vacation, ha ha ha only in my dreams ;)

So do visit Tahoe and dont forget to explore this beautiful beach.
Hope this post will be helpful for you the next time you plan your trip!! Have fun!!
