Hello Everyone!

Since, in my previous post I promised to tell you more about the bad weather, I am skipping straight to day 3. Day 3 was probably the most disappointing day, since we couldn't get on Top of the Rock due to the white out. The worst part is that it was our second attempt to get on top of the Rockefeller center. The first time we tried to go all the tickets were sold out. So, we purchased tickets for the next day. But, when we got there the next morning, the attendants told us that the visibility is 0 and that we should come back tomorrow. The next day was no better, so we ended up never going. Luckily those tickets are good for a whole year...

 

 

There are two things that I am currently obsessed with: teddy bear anything and clear bags. Although, majority of people I know find clear bags ugly, I can't stay indifferent about them, since, they remind me of my childhood. But as far as the teddy bear coats/sweaters go, no one can dislike those (And if you do you, then I don't want to know you anymore lol).They are simply amazing. They are the softest thing you would ever lay your hands on. And, they are also warm. Aaaand this is why I bought 3 teddy coats in the past 2 weeks...

 

 

By the way, have any of you got on the 80s-90s style glasses trend? Obviously I did, but what do you all think? Yey or Ney. So, if you want to "throw some shade" on the budget,  I am linking the sunnies I am wearing in this post and few other fun frames I own bellow.

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, I guess this is the part where I tell you about my trip.

Well.. our trip was a bit of a disaster. And not because something bad happened, but because it wasn't very well planed. I had all these places I wanted to visit and to eat at, but I didn't realize how big New York is, and how far all those places were. So, needless to say, we didn't get to visit half the places on my list. By the way, those estimate times you get on your gps/google maps/maps are beyond wrong. We were late everyday, everywhere.

 

 

 

Ok, who else is living for snake prints? 

I am no stranger when it comes to animal prints, but snake skin had been my print of choice lately. I think it is the most settle out of the animal prints and therefore, is a little more wearable. Btw, I really wanted to buy theses snake print boots while I was in NY, but I didn't. And all because I broke my own rule and brought my husband to the store with me...

 

 

 

Btw, although it's hard to tell by looking at these pictures, it's actually raining. Actually, the weather wasn't that great through the whole trip. It was foggy (more about that in my next post), rainy and cold.

Happy Thursday Everyone!

This is a really short post to tell you why I've been MIA since April. 

Well, it's because we bought the house. Surprise! 

It took us close to 2 years to finally purchase a home, but we did it. I think one of the reasons that it took us this long, was the fact that we couldn't decide whether we wanted to go for the size , the location or the finishes. At the end, we found a place that was the middle ground of all three. It's kind-a in the right zip code, it was somewhat updated and it's mostly the size I wanted. 

On another hand, scratch the "somewhat" updated part. After few weeks of owning this place, I decided to turn the "somewhat" into a massive project. And this is why I've been MIA. My life currently revolves around work and house reno.  And yes, we are the DIYers... not by choice tho'. 

Anyways, I'll tell you guys more about that later. Since, I will be adding a new HOUSE page to this blog that will primarily deal with everything home.

Hello, World! 

Your favorite blogger is back and right in time for the Chicken and Waffle Day! 

And what could be the better place to celebrate my two favorite dishes than at the newly opened Metro Dinner right here in Oklahoma City. Yes, my lovely Okies, we now have our own Metro Dinner. 

I originally spotted the Metro Dinner sign about a month ago and almost drove my car off the road. And that's the true story guys. I was going down Memorial road when a green sign on top of the building caught my eye. I didn't get to read what was written on it, but I instantly recognized the shape and was like.."Nooo way". And as the true "rubber necker" than I am, I had to look back to make sure my eyes weren't tricking me. So, while I was ogling the signs, I wasn't paying attention to craters that are the Oklahoma roads and ended up hitting one of the craters (aka pot holes) which made me to careen of the road. I know, very anti-climatic story...

Now, before you guys say anything, let’s tackle the elephant in the room, or the fact that there are no waffles in the post that is talking about chicken n waffles. In my defense the first time I went to the Metro Dinner my camera died. And I don't mean the battery, but the camera itself. I don't know why but it gave me the Error 99. What you are seeing in this post is from the second time I visited the  Metro Dinner.  And this time around I wanted to try something that wasn't a breakfast food. 

Since, I am a fashion blogger, I have to mention my outfit. Originally, I was going to channel my inner Riversdale/ retro diva and wear a vintage dress (when in Rome, right?). But, my husband said that I looked as if I'm going to the Halloween party (hater), so I had to change into something from our own era. So today, I am wearing my bulletproof combo: a cute top and a pair jeans.

My adorable top and shoes are both from Nakd and currently on sale. 

Happy  Monday Everyone!

Today, I want to take advantage of the fact that I am currently on spring break and, write a long-ish post. I promise I wont make it too long, so bare with me. What I want to address today, is the "do-ability" of being a blogger while having a full time job. In my case, not only do I have a full time job, I am also a full time student. I walk out of the door at 7 am and come back at 8 pm. Then, when I'm finally home, I have to make dinner, do homework, and then squeezing an hour of Neflix (don't judge me). So, obviously, there isn't much time left for blogging... especially in the winter when it gets dark at 5 pm. 

So, here are few things that help me balance my busy schedule and blogging.

 Get Some Professional Help 

If it's in your budget, hire a professional photographer. There are a lot of photographers that have blogger packages. Those usually include an hour session with several outfit changes. Plus, you don't need to spend any time editing your own photos, just write your post and you are all set.

(I shoot and edit my own photos, so this is where the bulk of my blogging time spent). 

But what if you can't afford to pay the photographer?

Well, that's when the Instagram husband/friend/mom (or anyone else you can rope in) comes in. You can also try shooting your looks with a tripod. I use tripod for all my photos. I find it most convenient, since I don't need to coordinate with other people's schedules. But I understand that "tripod-ing" in public might not be for everyone, so maybe, use it for the in house shoots. 

How To Find Time For Photo Editing

Of course, the best time is on your days off. This is when you can really get into editing those photos.. But, "aint nobody  has time for that", right? So, I do a lot of background butch edits while working on homework. When editing is finished, I just pick the once that turned out the best or require the least preset adjustments. I also do a lot of photo editing (or online shopping) while watch TV.
