I always feel soooo good in this maxi dress. First, it's incredibly comfortable. And second, I can twirl around and around in it :)

You wouldn't guess what happened today? It seems that my sister and I wore the same dress but in a different color! Hahahaha, when I saw her this morning, I just couldn't believe the coincidence!

Many of you have asked me what a Chinese breakfast is, so I thought I would write a quick explanation today.

In a Chinese breakfast, you do not read a menu and then order what you want... Instead, waiters with trays come to your table and offer different types of food.

The food is placed in the center of the table which rotates so that everyone can have access to the food.

We ordered a large variety of yummy food. Most of the food offered at a Chinese breakfast is bite size so you can eat the entire thing in one bite. The food they serve is usually made with a rice pasta that is steam cooked and that is filled with different ingredients like pork or shrimp (no waffles, eggs, bacon, or anything like that).

After that, all you do is sit back and enjoy the delicious food. If you are still hungry, you call over one of the waiters with trays and order some more food.

One of my all time favorite things they serve is called a Han Pao. It's basically like a really fluffy bread thing that is filled with sweet pork. Super Yummy!

I had the most wonderful time eating breakfast on a Sunday morning with my family. I always feel happy to spend time with them.

Have any of you tasted or heard of a Chinese breakfast?

My Choice of Outfit of the week - Simply Chic

This week's outfit of the week goes to Delmy from Fashion Bananas! This outfit is a perfect example that simple pieces can look so chic together. I love how she made a plain white tee and red skirt look fashion forward by pairing it with these phenomenal shoes! Good job Delmy!

Hats off to you

I'm so in love with this burgundy and orange color combo!! I was actually inspired by one of the many images in my "inspiration folder":

(I don't have the original source for this image, sorry! Let me know if you know it!)

Instead of wearing a burgundy top with an orange skirt, I decided to incorporate burgundy with my shoes and my hat. I love how the burgundy and orange of the floral print of my purse pulls the entire outfit together.

As a side note, I just wanted to say that my Hat is off to all of you for being the best readers ever!

I just recently received yet another sweet e-mail from a reader saying that she loves my blog and that I inspire her to be herself... snif snif, aaawww!! Thanks for all the e-mails, sweet comments, and just for taking a look at my silly blog! You all really make me very happy :)
