Black and White and Movies

Playing catch up on my outfit posts. Here's what I wore to a holiday party that Mr. VJ and I attended.

sweater: Banana Republic

skirt: White House Black Market (similar here or here)

shoes: Vince Camuto (here and on sale here)

necklace: gift from my mom

tights: Ann Taylor

purse: Banana Republic (old)

I wore the same outfit to my step daughter's birthday dinner with a different black round neck sweater top, a red coat and my LV purse.

red coat: BCBG MaxAzria (Fall 2012 collection)
sweater: Ann Taylor
purse: Louis Vuitton

We had another busy weekend. It was the kids last weekend before they go back to school. We went to dinner with Opa on Friday at Mitchell's Fish Market before he left the next day. We love that he spent time with the kids and Mr. VJ and I. Very grateful to him for helping us watch the kids while Mr. VJ and I are at work. Then, my step daughter and I saw Les Miserables. I was bawling in tears. The movie was so good and of course the musical score was just unbelievable. Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman (all time crush) - amazing!  We could not get enough of it so we watched it twice. First time with just her and I then we watched it again with Mr. VJ and my step son. The boys' movie pick was Monsters Inc 3D which we saw the next day followed by a very good dinner at our favorite Greek Restaurant - the Taverna Yamas.

How was your weekend? Any good movie you've seen lately?

Look: The Gray Suit

Probably not the most flattering shot but I do love this suit. I have worn the jacket with jeans a few times and really love the unconventional fold of the sleeves which can also be worn unrolled.

What I am wearing:
jacket and pant suit: BCBG MaxAzria
purple top: Banana Republic
shoes: Jimmy Choo
skinny belt: Dillard's
double chain necklace: Express
bracelet: White House Black Market

I normally don't wear my suits together to break down the monotony in color. But there are suits that still look sharp and good when paired together such as this one. Gray is my other black. I can wear it with different colors - black, pink, red, blue, teal, white... and the color possibility is endless. Do you stick with black or is gray your other black too?

Happy Easter lovelies!

Last Sunday, I have been itching in my arms and my back. I was also having acid reflux. I ignored the symptoms thinking I just need to reapply moisturizer since it has been really cold again and my skin is getting dry. GG got me some Benadryl and calamine lotion but of course I didn't listen ;-) (I know I was stubborn!) . The itching and hyper-acidity persisted the whole day. That night as I was about to take a shower, I was horrified at what I saw in the mirror - I had hives everywhere except in my face, hands and feet. GG rushed me to the hospital emergency room and we were there until the wee hour of the morning. The culprit? I switched dry cleaners. Yes! Who knew?!! I was allergic to the solution my new dry cleaner used! Seriously!? Oh and guess what the doctors prescribed? Benadryl, Claritin and Calamine lotion. Yes, yes, GG was right. He had this smirk-I-told-you-so look on his face. To which, on cue, I said "My doctor and hero!".

Happy Friday lovelies!!!!!

Hi lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did =)

We watched Wicked on Saturday and it rocked! Glinda (Helene Yorke) and Elphaba (Marcie Dodd) were rock stars! The play was based on the novel by Gregory Maguire with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Listen to some of the amazing music here.

Popular - Wicked

We almost didn't see it because the tickets were sold out and I had to scour the internet for it. I like watching plays but this by far was the most fun I have seen. I have always loved the Wizard of Oz as a kid and have probably watched it a million times. But this play has given me a different perspective on the witches of Oz. Wicked is definitely on top of my list. If you haven't seen it and have the chance, do see it. It is well worth it!

After the play, we went to dinner at The Brick (our new favorite dinner place) where everything was scrumptuous as usual. This time instead of getting my favorite Creme Brulee I ordered the Chocolate Torte. I was not disappointed. It was heavenly!

Sunday, I could not be with my mom so I called her and we talked for at least an hour. Oh how I miss her =( .

We then had late lunch and then the ladies and I went shopping. How was your weekend?

Happy Monday lovelies!
