I especially love how the bright turquoise color of these earrings pop against the crisp white collar shirt. Last but not least, I love how the two earrings are not exactly the same... it makes them look very unique and fashion forward!

Lately I have been noticing that I always make the same hairdos in the morning; so today I decided to try something different! I tried (emphasis on the word tried) to do a braid in the back of my head... the problem? Well, it turned out very very messy (I mean, there is even a bobby pin just sticking out of it!):

Since my haircut includes so many layers, it is almost impossible for me to make a sleek and clean braid in my hair... boo hoo... Well, it was worth a try :)

Do you manage to do sleek and clean braids in your hair? Any tips or tricks?

Today's outfit is all about circles. My skirt has lots of circles, my top has lots of circles, even my earrings are circles!! Today's pattern mixing is so bold, that I decided to keep the rest of the outfit pretty simple.

Today I gave my boyfriend's family an assortment of Easter treats that I baked. I baked so many things this year! Some of them where delicious, and others were sorda inedible... haha well, you win some and you lose some right?

I'll make sure to post some pics of these delicious treats soon, so stay tuned!

Today sure was a busy busy day! Today was not just Easter Sunday (Btw, Happy Easter everyone!), but it was also my sister's birthday! How about that for a busy day?

To celebrate both special occasions, we decided to go to a delicious Easter brunch at a nice hotel. The food was delicious, but the true star of the event was the dessert table. It was by far THE best dessert table I have EVER seen. They had sooooo many desserts, it was enough to drive any diet-girl crazy!

I especially loved how they decorated some of the desserts. I really enjoyed all the cute spring colors and the adorable sugar cookies.

They even had TWO chocolate fountains in which we could dip strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, and pretzels... talk about YUM!?

Needless to say, I went back for seconds.... and thirds... and well fourth and fifths... hehe. My mom and I had a wonderful time cheating on our diets :)

Something really cool happened today during brunch! A very lovely lady came up to me and introduced herself. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure who she was (that happens to me quite often).

It turns out that she is a fellow blogger who reads my blog!! WAO! I can't believe that she recognized me! What are the odds of encountering a reader of my blog?.. In Panama, the chances are nearly zero.

Anyway, she really MADE my day... I felt sooooo special throughout the rest of the day... Thank you for coming up to say hi, you really made me happy!

I had such a wonderful time at brunch with my family. I learn to love each member of my family a little more every day... we are truly blessed to have each other.

Later that evening, we celebrated my sister's birthday. Annie is such a wonderful sister and friend to me. I know I can count on her for anything!

So all in all, a wonderful Easter and family birthday! I even have a new Easter monkey that is joining my ever-growing monkey family (My boyfriend and I call each other monkeys for no particular reason, so I love everything that has to do with monkeys... hehe). Isn't he adorable?!

Happy Easter everyone!
