In Chicago With Delta Faucet
If you follow me on instagram you are aware of my most recent trip to Chicago. I was invited to be a part of a cooking class with Chicago-based pastry chef and winner of the James Beard Foundation Award, Gale Gand. This was the first time I ever visited Chicago and was super excited to be there. While there I also received a tour of the beautiful Delta Faucet showroom which features all their amazing products and I got to test them all! It's really fascinating all you can learn from just faucets (& I knew nothing about faucets before this trip).

Quick and Easy Labor Day Ideas

I just got back from my very short trip in Chicago and am happy to have brought back a few amazing recipes from chef Gale Gand to share with you all. Today I wanted to share a few fun and entertaining ideas to help you on your next celebration. After all Labor Day is only a few days away.
Given the fact that my schedule has gone from 0-60 in the last few months, I have less time to prepare things or plan ahead so these recipes are perfect for busy individuals like myself. These ideas are easy, delicious and did I mention they're... EASY!! The first recipe is a delicious appetizer, Pea + Garlic dip served with thinly sliced London broil served on a crostini. This is the perfect little 'meal' for a girls night in while the kids are at grannies or to simply serve as a starter in your next family gathering.

Catch Me On the Bay
LOCATION
Chesapeake Bay, MD
I just arrived to Chicago and it's pretty gloomy out here. Wanted to share this casual look which I don't often do. This was shot during our stay in Hyatt Regency a few weeks ago. I'm thinking of wearing this same Shabby Apple dress in a dressier way tonight. Follow me on instagram/facebook/twitter to get a sneak peek.

Shopping in Sears
Happy Monday!
Shopping with Zareena as I mentioned before, is a blast! This is the 3rd time we go shopping together without Leanne and as much as we missed her, we just bond more and more when it's just the two of us. We bring out the silliness is each other and get to do what girls do, shop. She picked out so many cute looks including this pretty top (first photo).
Zareena's favorite back to school item from Sears has to be her new backpack and a little crop top. Ok guys, don't get freaked out! Wearing a cropped top doesn't mean you have to show your stomach or any skin. She's wearing the top with high harem pants. This is a very appropriate look for a little girl while staying on trend. The looks she chose are very casual yet the pieces can be style differently for a less casual feel. Z is very much into expressing herself as she enter 1st grade in a few days. She uses t-shirts with great words and quotes. This is a nice way to keep your kiddos inspired. They had a great selection of these in Sears. Back to school is all about being comfortable and confident. & remember your smile is your best accessory!
The hottest trends, celebrity style and fashion tips you can afford to try.

Romantic Maxi

Cambridge, MD
Today I'll keep this post short and simple since it's Friday.
If you follow me on instagram you might remember seeing me wear this dress for Triumph's super romantic dinner last night (see here and here). Therefore its only fair that I spill all the details of where it's from. This dress is by Talulah. I discovered this site a few weeks ago and am utterly obsessed. Every piece on their site is amazing and unique in it's own way.
I'm preparing to take a trip this weekendperhaps to Pennsylvania and next week I'll be in Chicago. I'll also be doing my Hyatt Regency/Chesapeake Bay diary next week so stay tuned for that.

Back-To-School Shopping with JCPenney
Taking this little girl back-to-school shopping at JCPenney was bittersweet! For me, going shopping for my girls is one of the hardest things to do. You know, realizing that they're no longer a size 2t now they're a 6-7. Seeing them style their own looks and realizing that they don't need your help anymore. Seeing their personalities come to life through their wardrobe... it's freaky. Despite my sadness, she was so happy after browsing through the racks and finding cute dresses + colorful scarfs.. which happen to be her favorites. Zareena is all about wearing bright colors and fun patterns. You can definitely see she's a little fashionista, I wonder where she gets it from.
The different styles and selections really helped her express herself. Despite the fact that she is required to wear uniform to school and can only wear regular clothes on Fridays, she still managed to make the trendy uniform work (as you can see in the first photo). She is such a well put together little girl it's mind-blowing.
She has not stopped talking about going back to school the entire summer and every time she sees her old classmates she gets super excited. She understands that fashion is a form of self-expression and she expresses herself well. Her sweetness and quirkiness shines through her style. I'm so happy we were able to find so many different styles in one place.

My Skincare Routine
I've been meaning to write this post for a while now and just never got around doing it. Many of you are constantly asking me about my skin care routine and my favorite beauty products. I am always changing my skincare routine and these products always seem to stay. A few of these products I've featured on here before, that's how you know I love them so much.

Denim on Denim
LOCATION
Chesapeake Bay, Maryland
As Summer (almost) comes to an end I started stacking my fall essentials. This denim jacket is one of them. It took me awhile to find one that was the perfect for me. It needed to be right under my waist line, not shorter or longer, but, just right. This one is by Joe Fresh.
My family and I are on our way back to New York from our little weekend getaway to the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay. I've posted a few pictures on my instagram (here, here) and will be posting more on a blog post in the coming weeks. Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by.

LIC, NY
Hey guys! I hope you had a great weekend.
We had beautiful weather in New York City these past few days and it will continue that way till next week (I sound like the weather reporter). Too bad I won't be here to enjoy all of it. My family and I will be going to one of our favorite resorts in a few days to show the girls a good time before school starts. If you follow my blog you'll know how much I love traveling and exploring. Last month I went from Miami to New York to Nashville (recap coming this week). I will be doing a lot more of that and I will share more details soon.

Hola chicos! Espero que hayan tenido un buen fin de semana.
Teníamos un hermoso clima en la ciudad de Nueva York en los últimos días y seguiremos así hasta la semana que viene (estoy sonando como el reportero del tiempo). Lástima que no voy a estar aquí para disfrutarlo. Mi familia y yo iremos a uno de nuestros lugares favoritos en unos días para mostrar a las chicas un buen tiempo antes de que empiecen las clases. Si usted sigue mi blog sabrás lo mucho que me encanta viajar y explorar. El mes pasado me fui de Miami a Nueva York a Nashville (voy a subir un resumen esta semana). Voy a estar haciendo mucho más de eso y voy a compartir más detalles pronto. Les tengo una pista de dónde voy a estar próximo.. Voy a estar comiendo un montón de cangrejos azules!

Island Picnic
LOCATION
Roosevelt Island, NY
If you follow me on Instagram you know how much my family and I have been picnicking lately. We've gone to Central park, Gantry Plaza State Park, Astoria Park, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park and now FDR Four Freedoms Park. I thought the trip would be a super cool experience for my girls since we needed to hop on the tram to crossover to the island. It was their second time going on the tram (last time it was evening time) and my + my husbands fourth or fifth time. He still hasn't gotten over it, he's terrified of heights. After the minute long ride we arrived to the island and walked around before finding the right spot to sit. This picnic was a little different because I didn't cook at home and brought the food to the picnic, this time around we picked up our reserved basket from the River Walk Bar & Grill which included two sandwiches, two salads, dessert, two bottle of waters and one bottle of wine + picnic blanket. This date was booked through You&Me Concierge which used to be HowAboutWe for couples.
Now that I'm traveling for work every other week, I appreciate days like these a lot more.

Después del largo viaje llegamos a la isla y caminamos antes de encontrar el lugar adecuado para sentarnos. Este día de campo fue un poco diferente porque no cocine en casa y traje la comida para el día de campo, en esta ocasión recogimos nuestra cesta reservadas de River Walk Bar & Grill, que incluyó dos sandwiches, una enorme ensaladera, postre, dos botellas de agua y una botella de vino + manta de picnic. Esto fue reservado a través de You&Me Concierge que solía ser HowAboutWe para parejas. Ahora que estoy de viaje por trabajo cada dos semanas, aprecio días como éstos mucho más.

Trying PRIV App
I finally had the chance to try the popular app called PRIV. For those who aren't familiar, it's an app which brings beauty and wellness professionals (masseuses, hairstylists, personal trainers/yoga instructors) right to your door.. where ever you are.. at any given time! Sounds awesome right, well, that's cause it is.
I booked my appointment two hours in advance and wanted the gel manicure + dry pedicure. It was my first time trying both. My professional explained the difference between a dry pedicure and a regular one. No water is used in a dry pedicure (I know how crazy it sounds) but you get the same results & the gel manicure lasts longer than a regular manicure.
The app is pretty easy to use; simply download the app, choose a service and book your appointment. You receive notifications when your professional is on their way as well as when they're 5 minutes away. It took less than 30 minutes to get everything done and I enjoyed it at the comfort of my own home. This is such a genius app and so convenient! Just though I'd let you guys know:)

Très Chic Mama
I hope you guys had a great weekend!
I know you guys might have seen a little bit of a change lately in me and on the blog. I've been posting less and less these past two weeks for personal reasons. I've been reflecting and trying to spend more time with my family because I sense a slight gap. My work schedule has doubled in the past three months and I feel extremely blessed and fortunate but at the same time I don't want my career to bloom and my family to fail. I am a firm believer that you can do anything you want in life as long as you are determined and organized.
We all fall off track and it's simply a matter of getting your shang* together, learn how to work around things and continuing life. I'll share a little secret with you guys.. I started a journal! This was a hard decision for me because I am kind-off traumatized after my brother read my diary when I was 13 years old. At the time I did it for fun but now I see how beneficial it is for a busy/working mom to write on a daily basis. I love leaving you guys with something to remember; Don't be afraid to stop and fix what you think is wrong. Family comes first.
Enter my giveaway here. It ends soon.
______________________________
Espero que ustedes tuvieron un gran fin de semana!
Sé que ustedes han visto un poco de cambio últimamente en mí y en el blog. He estado publicando cada vez menos las últimas dos semanas por motivos personales. He estado reflexionando y tratando de pasar más tiempo con mi familia, porque tengo la sensación de un pequeño espacio entre nosotros. Mi horario de trabajo se ha duplicado en los últimos tres meses y me siento muy bendecida y afortunada, pero al mismo tiempo no quiero que mi carrera florezca y que mi familia falle. Yo soy un firme creyente de que puedes hacer lo que quieras en la vida, siempre y cuando usted está decidido y organizado.
Todos caemos fuera de pista y es simplemente una cuestión de aprender a trabajar alrededor de las cosas que dios nos pone en el medio y continuar la vida. Voy a compartir un secreto con ustedes.. Empecé un diario! Esta fue una decisión difícil para mí, porque yo estoy un poco traumatizada después de que mi hermano leyó mi diario cuando tenía 13 años de edad. En el momento en que lo hice fue por diversión, pero ahora veo lo beneficioso que es para una madre escribir sobre su vida a base diaria. Los dejo con esto; No tengan miedo de dejar todo y arreglar lo que crees que está mal. La familia es lo primero.
¡Entra en mi sorteo aquí. Se termina pronto.
