Today's words of wisdom which are actually so true and I just had to share it with everybody, ''When you return to your old hometown, you find it wasn't the town you missed - but your childhood.'' -- Earl Wilson.

For me, it was my Mum and all the memories I have growing up! So a special thought for all our loved ones today living or dead.

Enjoy your day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace !

Outfit Inspiration Day 3: Tuesday!

Happy Pancake Day!

Jeans are the most comfortable item of clothing and yet teamed up with a night top, shoes, bag, and accessories - you could look like you are dressed for a party!

Today's choice of outfit is probably one I would choose all the time. Jeans keep my legs warm and allows me freedom to it comfortably feet up if I need to. Travel is easier in jeans more rough and ready. Pair your jeans with a sexy top like I've chosen or choose a nice, silky shirt to complete the look.

All the items are available online, listed below:

 
1. Neckline Top / 9.95 pounds / Nelly.com
2. Brown Faux Leather Jacket / 44 dollars / Missselfridge.com
3. Black Ripped Jeans / 32 dollars / Choies.com
4. Ankle Boots / 36 euros / Shopakira.com
5. Bright Red Shoulder Bag / 26 Dollars / Shein.com
 
Enjoy your day and keep smiling!

I want to add a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, which I think is a reminder to everyone that we can be confident. The quote is, ''No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.''
 
I love this quote and I do walk and do everything with confidence in my life.

Love & Peace !

Outfit Inspiration Day 2: Monday!

Happy Monday,

the weather was windy, cold and it rained and rained. I was out walking to get groceries and it looked like I took a shower in my clothes. I was soaked, but since I layered up with no less than five tops, two stockings and a pair of jeans - I wasn't cold!

Today my outfit selection is exactly what I pulled on first, a sexy crop top, thick tights, wish I could have chosen this beautiful plaid skirt but the weather being so bad I went for jeans. Hope the weather is good where you are, so my trendy little outfit gets you turning heads.

The wind is still blowing outside and the rain continues to pour. I just remembered today is Chinese New Year. Maybe I should have chosen a red outfit but I forgot myself to wear red today, as I was hoping to do just that. I could definitely do with some good luck in my life. My new year resolution (even though I'm not Chinese) is to make sure I get into a relationship with a great guy (I'm not going to be choosy anymore!) He doesn't need to have a great body, average looking is fine with me and he has to be at least 45 to 55 - not younger! So I've put myself on Match.com and fingers crossed I could find someone serious before the year ends. I could be living with them :) Yes God, let my wish this Chinese New Year come true!

Yes, I love blogging and telling you all a little bit about me. Hope your day was great. Keep smiling and HAPPY NEW YEAR.. MAY THE MONKEY BRING YOU MUCH LUCK! :)

The outfit:


Outfit prices:
1. Pocket Button A-Line Skirt / 13 dollars / Romwe.com
2. Off-Shoulder Crop Top / 8.45 pounds / Universal-textiles.com
3. Noir Women's Round Toe Platform / 32 dollars / overstock.com
4. Tights / 18 euros / Zappos.com
5. Eyelash crossbody chain bag / 26 AUD / Withchic.com

Love & Peace !

Healthy Dinner? Steak With a Mustard Anchovy Dressing!

Busy day and you need protein to fuel your body and keep you healthy and fit? Meat is necessary and your steak does not have to be bleeding all over your plate. Get a thin piece and cook it 2/3 minutes in each side should be good. The secret lies in letting the meat rest for a bit!

Marinate your steaks with 2 chopped garlic cloves, a teaspoon of salt, crushed chili flakes or ground pepper according to your taste and one teaspoon of freshly chopped parsley. This is for 3 to 4 pieces of steak. Don't forget 3 to 4 pieces of olive oil to let it all set together well. Allow this to marinate for at least an hour, three hours will give you better flavour!

To make the dressing for your salad you need: three tablespoons of red wine vinegar, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard, three anchovy fillets, one clove of garlic, freshly ground pepper to taste and 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. A shop bought packet of your favourite salad.

Layer your steak on your salad and your have a delicious dinner.

Add your croutons for extra crunch or to keep it healthy add pinenut seeds or sunflower seeds. Have this with a nice glass of white wine. I recommend California Zinfandel!

Cheers, have an awesome day and keep smiling.

Love & Peace!
