polka dots at Century 21

Yesterday at Century 21:

I found this bracelet very pretty,

In my bag: gym clothes (bought at next door store Tjmaxx-very afortable!)

lightweight ,

and very similar to Jcrew classic link bracelet,

$13

 I didn't buy it,

but now seen the pictures I regretted not to :(

What do you think?!

OOTD: 

  All J.crew minus Intyce boots - Steve Madden/ long-sleeve indigo ink dot tee - Madewell

 Have a lovey day!

falling for Gap...and more

while in the city with mom,

that's what I brought to the fitting room:

Liberty Toothpick Jean in Emma and Georgina Floral,

size 28,

I like this print a lot, 

more on everyone I saw pictures online than on me.

 Liberty toothpick jean in June's Meadow floral,

size 28,

TTS, very comfortable,

I prefer this one for me.

FP in stores.

 Coraline patent flats,

size 8

Apricot mist on sale in stores

$129.99

love it!

now something not yet online and almost sold out in stores:

I'm wearing size XS

pre-order this sweatshirt here.

size small was not available, 

only XS and XL.

 It is TTS,

 as you can see XS is tight on me,

 but it seems to be a short sweatshirt.

cute.

 Indigo floral popover,

size 4

I felt in love for this top as soon it came out online and in the catalog,

but I didn't expect a thick fabric like that.

The print is cute, 

but I feel like wearing a floral pajamas :(

TTS and a pass for me.

at Gap store:

Striped knit moto jacket,

$69.95 - $54.99 online

size small in navy strip color.

I didn't expect to like this jacket...

 but I really love it!

 petite size would be a better fit, 

sold out online,

so I ordered  it in regular small with the extra 25% off + a $20 gift card...

a steal!

I will need to fix the sleeves though,

 but I think is a good option for the Maritime Blazer in stripe,

what do you think?

Bellow,

a gift from my mom:

Terry Sweatshirt dress - Gap

size M

Only one left in store (and for $13 I can wear it with a belt all the time with no problem :),

but small would be a perfect fit, it is TTS.

 I like the loose look.

Love this dress!

OOTD:

 dress - Gap/ boots - Steve Madden/ accessories & mini bag - J.Crew/ jacket - Land's End

at Madewell store:

Some unexpected items on sale + extra %!

silk-front tee in gingham bow,

size M - $58 - $39.99 in  stores,

very cute, 

love the feel of the silk with the soft cotton on the back.

Soft mix top,

size M - $68 - $39.99 in stores

love this one first time I saw it online,

very cute top,

the mix of the fabrics is very nice making this top delicate,

easy to dress up or down, see through - I'm wearing a nude/beige tank top underneath.

I sized up on both tops, 

I always do when the fabric is silk.

Also,

the long-sleeve indigo ink tee,

 FP online,

 and no size small for me in store :(

MD had the 20%off running over final sale items,

ended in the same day as the "extra20" online.

Need to wait for the next % to find this tee...:P

Have you found any unexpected item on sale in stores lately?!

Have a lovely day!

fitting room & new peony tee

Just a few try ones from my last B&M visit,

I was crazy when I first saw this twinset,

but I'm not sure I "need" them in my closet...

I'm getting better on this :o).

 Lightweight merino cardigan with neon trim and  Lightweight merino shell with neon trim,

both in size small,

 TTS.

The cardigan feels a little loose and longer,

check it at one too many closets review here!

Next,

is the Liberty peasant top in June's meadow floral,

size XS,

$110 - $79.99 in stores

Here you can see the elastic on the bottom is  all the way on my waist.

On the picture bellow,

 I pulled it all down for you to have some idea about sizing and length.

I sized it down after reading some reviews,

and perhaps I could go down one more,

but I won't be adding this one to my closet,

cute print, but too blousy for me.

Schoolboy blazer in mixed striped,

size 6,

I didn't find size 4 to try on,

 but I think the 6 was the right one for me.

 And thanks to my VPS,

A new flower tee to my closet:

 Peony tee,

size small,

a little shorter than my others tee's from JC,

but is all good :o)

TTS, nice linen feel in ivory/creamy color on background,

many JCA already showed a lot of for this cute/big flower tee, check it out at one more shopping blog, shopping with M, and Gigi's gone shopping! 

Can you see a little pocket somewhere? 

 Ohhh yeah, how cute is this tee with a pocket?!

Love it!

OOTD:

 All J.Crew minus boots & welly sock - Hunter

Have you all a lovely "white snowy" day!

Award time - Liebster

I got a Liebster Award!

Thanks to Ina by Ina in a Wonderland, 

such a beautiful and fun blog!

This Award is designed to be passed along by bloggers to bloggers to help share blogs you love and discover new ones. 

It is specifically for blogs with no more than 200 GFC subscribers which I think is a terrific idea!

I feel so honor and excited to be part of it,

and that's how it works:

 If you are nominated, the idea is for you to write a post including 11 facts about yourself, the answers to the questions the blogger who nominated you asked, the 11 blogs you would like to nominate, and the 11 questions you would like those bloggers to answer.

You can see Ina's post here to read her Q and A's and view the other 4 blogs she nominated :)

11 facts about me:

1- I have a degree in Architecture, and I worked as an architect building houses, before moving to USA. Currently my full time job is taking care of my 3 boys, and I can say that it is not easy work.

2 - Besides loving anything that has to do with Architecture, design, decoration, texture, fashion, and more - maybe that's why I love shopping?!- my hobby is painting on canvas with oil paint, acrylic and drawing in black and white with pastel.

3- I'm from Brazil, love my Country, but right now my heart belongs to New York.

4 - I'm Gemini, which means "fun+fun", everything in double!

5- I cannot just start one thing and finish. I'm always doing many things at once.

6- TRX is a new way I found to help me to control my sugar level down - I am goer (almost assiduous)- and to try getting back to my "before babies" regular weight, which seems a dream that will "not" come true 'caue I'm always 10 pounds over!

7 - I hate when people try to control me, and tell me what to do. I am able to do the opposite (even not being what I want) just to make sure is that I'm in control.

8 - I'm the Queen of my house :-)

9 - I have more heels than I wear, and I feel like a centipede, shoes are never enough, there is always space for one more.

10 - I have the bad habit of going to bed late everyday, really late.

11 - I love chocolate.
