1/7/2018 0 Comments Out and about lookHappy New Year to all!! Here's to embracing all that this new year has to offer <3 Today's Post is on a Casual Out and About look. Most weekends I spend with the kids and hubby and usually calls for a quick and easy outfit. An easy outfit option is a long sleeved short dress which I would wear as a top. Today I opted for a solid colour, but I'm obsessed with these in floral prints as well. Paired It with a pair of jeans and dressed it up a bit with a statement necklace. Added some colour blocking fun with a mauve hijab and handbag and there we have it... a cute outfit comfy enough for those busy weekends. Dress: Forever 21

Finding cute long sleeved dresses are a hijabi's dream and India Fashions is surely the place to check for beautiful selections. A light denim wash at the top and a delicate floral print at the bottom, a nice mix of both casual and elegant elements. I paired it with an ivory belt and hijab. Added a grey handbag and ivory pair of wedged sandals. Dress: India Fashions Ltd

It is the home to many animals found here in Trinidad and Tobago and also some exotic species. The Zoo preserves many of the trees and plants from its inception and offers various pathways and enclosures for you to explore. Housing a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, the kids would thoroughly enjoy seeing these animals up close and personal. Pack your carry all bags with some sunscreen, caps, camera, snacks & water and hit the road.

Mind you I screamed and almost dropped the biscuit when the giraffe came in to take it from my hands!! *SHAME FACE* It was a wonderful time at the ZOO and my little one really enjoyed seeing the animals up close.
A great family activity for the upcoming holiday time when the kids are home from school. 12/5/2017 0 Comments Coconut trees & The sunsetBy now you guys should know that maxi dresses are my definite go to piece.

Going through my closet this dress stood out from all the rest, a yellow floral maxi dress. I'm not usually drawn to yellow much, but there was something about this dress that I fell in love with. With all the color already in the print of the dress, I decided to stick to white to accessorize with. Paired the dress with a white inner long sleeve top, white Scarf, cream belt and white pair of wedged sandals. I chose one of my fav Islamic Jewels' Floral Head Chains to go with the look.

These bright, breezy pieces give that effortless look to an outfit. You can wear a basic solid color top and pair of pants and throw on a cover up over it and it instantly transforms into a chic elegant look. I chose to stick with a basic black inner top and pair of pants and layered it with this fun colorful floral cover up.
Paired it with a belt, olive scarf and pair of cute flip flops. 10/22/2017 1 Comment Glass bottom boat tour- tobagoA quick 20 minute plane ride from Trinidad, you arrive at our Sister isle of Tobago. A contrast to Trinidad, it is a more relaxed, layed back vibe as you really experience the feeling of island life there. Its Bluish green turquoise waters are captivating and everywhere you look is a postcard worthy view. Our family adventure today took us to Pigeon Point to experience a Glass Bottom Boat Tour. We booked with the boat 'Soca Queen' which offered to take us out to 4 spots: Buccoo Reef, Coral Gardens, Nylon Pool and No Man's Land. It is typically about a 2 hour tour and enjoyable for all ages. Life jackets are provided on board for all passengers. They also have snorkel equipment on board for those who want to dive in and explore the waters. The boats, as the name imply, have a 'glass bottom' so that you can see underneath, into the water. The water is so clear that you are able to see the corals and fishes below. The tour guide was sure to point out the different types of Coral and fishes that we saw. ![]() Nylon Pool We then anchored at Nylon Pool which is one of the most beautiful spots I've been too. It is an area in the ocean where it is shallow enough for you to walk. You can literally swim in the middle of the ocean. We were then off to No Man's Land, a secluded beach only accessible by boat. While we were exploring No Man's Land, one of the tour guides found a Star fish on the shore and bought it over for me to see before he released it safely back into the water. It was such a surreal moment actually seeing such an amazing creature in real!! It was then time to head back to the boat and back to shore.
What a wonderful experience this was, would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Tobago. 10/15/2017 0 Comments a day at the beach- hootdIt's the weekend!! and we were off to the beach for some sun, sea and relaxation. I picked up this cute turquoise pineapple print dress recently and thought it would be nice for a day at the beach. Paired it with some white pants and added a purple scarf for some color blocking fun. I absolutely loved the color combination of this look <3 |
