Things I learned when my boyfriend became a homeowner

Image
I have always been a renter it wasn’t until recently that my boyfriend decided to purchase a house.  Then all the new knowledge began along with some unexpected headaches that are part of home ownership.  Thankfully he is very hands on and knows how to do a lot of these things on his own, but he also has great resources if need be to call professionals. Here are the most important things we have learned since starting the process and all the things we kept an eye on before he committed to a house. Know your location I have heard this thousand of times. Location! Location! Location!   This is super important, especially if you are somebody like me that likes to go out and sometimes driving is not ideal.   It was very important for me he found a house close to public transit.   Since we live so close to NYC it is always nice to go in and spend the day, but it is so hard to find parking in those busy streets, taking the bus or train is ideal.   I needed ...

Welcome To Paris

Welcome  to Paris in September... I finally took the plunge and changed the name of this little space that I love so much.  Paris has a very special place in my heart and my birthday is in September, it was a match!  I have only been there one time and I went for my birthday, and I couldn't think of a better name. If you are new welcome! If you have been here a while thank you!  Let's see where my Paris in September takes us! xo, Yaudy Cristina   What I am wearing H&M dress and top / Target boots ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop Similar

Tie Dye

Give me all the tie dye please!!! One of the trends I have been loving is all the tie dye everywhere.  In jeans, sweat sets, tops I just love it.  This outfit was so comfortable I can't wait to wear this again (once Winter leaves lol) Short and sweet my friends have to get back to work but want to post of this 2020 looks before the year ends. xo, Yaudy Cristina What I am wearing Zara sweater/Shein jeans/T.J Maxx bag/Nike sneakers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop Similar      

Cyber Monday or Black Friday?

Image
The two biggest sale days of the year...... I have never been out shopping the Black Friday sales.  To be honest the madness kind of stresses me.  This year I have learned to love online shopping more than anything.  Yes- I like touching the items I am buying and trying them on, but sometimes comfort shopping is best.  Just a click away! I am a little behind with Christmas shopping this year.  Selecting who and what to get can be a bit of a challenge, so leaving it for last minute seems to be best that way I will be force to make a fast decision lol Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day! xo, Yaudy Cristina     What I wore Target dress, Franco Sarto boots Via TJ Maxx, Vintage bag, St. Cole hat ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop Similar

Give Thanks

Image
And this year I learned to appreciate what I already have.... I can't believe that Thanksgiving is tomorrow.  As hard as this year has been I came to the realization that we must be happy for all we have in the present and stop always acknowledging what we did not achieve.  I learned a lot about myself the last couple of months and as cheesy as it sounds I feel blessed.  I know holidays are different this year for a lot of us. Some are going on with their business and some like me are taking precautions.  I know better days are coming and I will reunite with my family I have no doubt that God has a plan, he always does. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In the meantime here is another trend I love all leather outfit!

Blast From The Past

Image
I will take vintage anytime... During my shopping career (yes, I call it that LOL) I have learned to appreciate the beauty of vintage.  There is something fascinating not knowing what you will find once you enter the store.  I have found a few pieces I cherish, but my favorite at the moment is this Burberry blazer I got at Vintage On First.  A beautiful store in Hoboken, NJ that carries some amazing pieces. I immediately knew how I was going to wear this a tribute to that little girl who was always best dressed at school and learned the power of a great blazer at 13 years old.  This was it!  If you grew up in the 90's you know this type of outfits were all over.  Leggings and a blazer and call it a day fast forward to 2020 minus the dark lip liner and nude lips I felt like a blast from the past.

Plaid pants and a sweater vest

Image
I heard sweater vests are back and I couldn't be more happier... This year I have enjoyed the transition from Summer to Fall.  Every year I missed the window where you can layer and not have to cover your outfit with a coat.  I am surprised that it is Nov and the weather has been really nice! I am taking full advantage of it by wearing all the amazing vests hanging in my closet.  I am also loving all the orange and brown colors this season I immediately knew these pair of pants would go great with this vest, a belt and suede boots. xo, Yaudy Cristina   What I am wearing UO pants, Zara boots, Forever 21 top, vest found at Goodwill (no tag), Target bag --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop similar
