Comfort is Key

Hi everyone, I've missed you guys!

Due to studying for Finals, I've been sitting around all week shifting in and out of uncomfortable chairs at the library, the school must use them to keep students awake. My ultimate goal is to stay as comfortable as possible therefore I've been choosing breathable outfits with multiple layers to  keep up with the changing temperatures in the library.

When it comes to comfort and versatility, nothing can compare to a sweater wrap. Part blanket, part sweater, a wrap is ideal for travel, running errands, lounging around or in my case to study it. It gives you that chic and put-together look without much time or effort. Time of which I don't have and no energy to put much effort into anything...

In any case, Spring is in the air and the weather has been pretty nice around here, hopefully it is as beautiful wherever you are. Enjoy it ladies and if you can, please stop and smell the flowers for me =)

Casual Weekend

This past Saturday we (hubby, BFF, BFF's hubby and I) took the kids to see Puss in Boots at AMC Boston. It was such a cute movie. If you are into those cute childhood fairy tales then this is the movie for you.

Afterwards we stopped at Little Q in Chinatown for some hotpot. When the weather is dreary and cold, there's nothing better than a pot of simmering liquid with a colorful array of meats, seafood, vegetables and noodles. Hotpot is also known as Chinese fondue.

 
My favorite part about this meal is creating your own concoction of the dipping sauce. There are plenty of different ingredients you can put in your bowl to personalize your creation: soy sauce, sesame paste, chili, garlic, scallions, cilantro and Chinese barbecue sauce are some choices.

Then there is the steaming soup that fills the entire restaurant with fragrant aromas. Here we have the mala flavor which features a numbingly spicy broth. This one wasn't too bad because the broth was actually drinkable, if we had ordered the crazy mala than our tongue would've been numb.

Today we have a special guest appearance by my partner-in-crime and fellow fashionista. We always call each other when we make a purchase and sometimes end up buying the same thing. It's great to have a fashion buddy when you go shopping, you can rest assure that what you are buying will look good on you ;)

As you ladies can see I am addicted to color-blocking. Having only been blogging for a little over a month and here I am with my 3rd color-blocking outfit. This outfit is a combination of pinks and browns. I love these two colors together. I think dark brown paired with shades of pink add such a hint of vintage flair to any outfit.

I love how BFF contrasted the leopard scarf with plaid shorts here. Mixing leopard with plaid is a wild way to have fun with an otherwise neutral ensemble. And can I please have your LV Berkeley please!
