Hey lover! This past weekend I had a great, lazy weekend, just loafing. Sometimes I get in the mood to just enjoy time at home and that’s what I did for the majority of the weekend. I did have the chance to do a makeup job and I will share all about that in a post this week . 🙂

Today’s heels definitely deserve a “Love Shoes” post and they will most likely end up having one. They are comfortable even with the height and I totally love the textured twist they have as opposed to a regular pair of black pumps. Lately I am gravitating more towards dressing up jeans with some nice heels.

I hope you have an amazing week and thank you for stopping by!

Quick Fix : Clothing Drawer Organization

November 14, 2014 3 Comments

Hey lover! Within the next two weeks I am trying to sort through all my clothing and remove any unnecessary clutter. Last night, I began with my chest of drawers, specifically my pajamas. As you can see above, it was a disaster! I usually dig quickly to find a comfy pajama and eventually this is the outcome. The mess drives me crazy, so I decided to downsize as much as possible.

My first step was removing everything to start with a clean slate. I like to keep all my drawers lined with paper.

Then I began dividing my pajamas into sets, pants, tops and shorts. I made sure to leave out the ones I don’t wear or are too old to keep using.

I am not sure how long this will last, but I plan to keep track of myself and once it is messy again, I will update this post. After I know how long it lasts organized, I will remind myself that once a week I can take 5 minutes to refold all the clothes back to normal.

I hope this quick fix helps or inspires you. Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend lover!

Work Wear : Office Party

Outfit Details: Blouse- The Limited, Skirt- The Limited, Shoes & Watch- Michael Kors

Hey lover! I wore this to the office yesterday and it reminded me of the days when I worked in a much bigger office. One of the things I miss about working there was all the fun office lunches and celebrations we would have. Any birthday or holiday was the perfect excuse for an office party and even better reason for me to dress up a little more. 😉

I love a good black and red combo when it comes to the holidays and winter time. This blouse and skirt are two items that I have worn countless times since I purchased them. I remember I was able to buy the shirt on a Black Friday deal, at 50% off, it was only $25!

I hope you have a magical day lovey!

A Rainy Sunday

Hi lover! This past Sunday was overcast and rainy all day and I must share that I Love those days. I am not one to only love rainy days for staying home, lounging and cuddling. Oh no, I love everything about a rainy day, especially walking around in a light shower. There is so much beauty in the natural occurrence of rain.

When my passion for collecting shoes started years ago, I was determined to find a very cute pair of rain boots. I stopped by Macy’s first and couldn’t find any. I asked a sales person for just that, “cute rain boots” and he found two pairs in the stock room. That day I couldn’t decide one over the other since they were both on sale. 😉

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday, thank you for stopping by!

Ajiaco estilo Colombiano / Colombian Ajiaco Soup

November 10, 2014 Leave a Comment

Hola amores! Hace poco aprendí a cocinar mi primera sopa casera. Gracias a mi mama ahora se como cocinar un ajiaco Colombiano y les voy a compartir la receta para 8 personas.

Los ingredientes necesarios son:

-un paquete de 8 piezas de pollo con hueso

-un paquete de papa criolla (usualmente se encuentra en la sección de congelados)

-8 papas rojas (pelarlas)

-8 papas blancas (pelarlas)

-medio paquete de guascas

-un cubito de caldo sabor a pollo

-4 mazorcas pequeñas (cortadas a la mitad)

-un poco de Adobo para sazonar

Para empezar, las papas peladas se rebanan bien delgadas. En una olla grande, llena la mitad de agua y ahi se ponen todo los ingredientes mientras el fogón esta en alto (high). Tapar la olla y dejar cocinar por 20 minutos, y después bajar a 6 (calor mediano) y continua cocinando por 20 minutos mas. Después de que todo esta cocinado, saca el pollo, desmenuzarlo y volver a poner en la olla. Dejar hervir 10 minutos mas o hasta que veas que esta espeso, ya queda listo el ajiaco.

Espero que les guste la receta y gracias Mami por la sopa deliciosa!
