Can’t believe we’re in March already. Crazy how fast time flies. I am finally off to the Riviera Maya, a place I’ve been yearning to visit for so long. I’m so excited to eat “real” Mexican food and drink! I’ll fill you in on all my food & lodging details of my Mayan Escape once I return. Please wish us (hubbs & I) safe travels and that we don’t fall sick when in Mexico. Hope you guys all have a fabulous weekend! And here are today’s Friday’s Favorites!
1. Ankle-Length Pants @ H&M (black)
On a working day during our lunch break, my friend K and I headed to H&M. I spotted these fitted Ankle-Length Pants in black which fit me perfectly. Pair these off with a nice pair of pumps and a clutch and off you go. It’s all about the shoes and bag in this outfit. In addition to black, I’m loving these pants in floral and white polka dots on blue. These pants come in at a bargain price of ~ $25 @ H&M (black)
I can’t tell you how tough it was to shop for summer clothes this past week. There is nothing out there for summer except for a couple items in every store. It really was hit or miss. At Express, I loved these sailor shorts that are fitted and not super tight. Although these shorts are super short, I am going to the beach, and my philosophy is if it still fits, enjoy it! YOLO!!! (you only live once) ~ $40 @ Express (black cotton, pitch black linen)
3. Beautiful Anniversary Roses from my husband
Celebrated 4 years this past week and the mystifying journey of marriage continues. It’s a tough one to unravel, but I’m still trying. 🙂
BONUS:
My niece, Jasmin, is quite the singer. She takes piano and voice lessons. Lately she’s been posting videos of herself on Facebook using a plastic cup for beats, beats that she comes up with in 10 minutes. I’m so proud of her and how far she has come along with voice control and all. Personally, I love her voice (I’m biased) and I’m proud to share with you Jasmin singing… Sunday Morning by Maroon 5. Enjoy!

TELL ME: What is the secret to a blissful marriage aside from us (women) ALWAYS being right?
What do you guys think of Jasmin’s video?
Share some of your favorites from this past week!
The secret is going to be a never-ending list, so let me just tell about your niece's video instead 😀 Great job!! How old is she?
Ummm… no favorites from the week. Didn't go anywhere interesting, didn't do anything worthwhile :-/ 😐 :-S
Woo hoo about your upcoming holiday- how long are you away for? Can't wait to hear about it! Those H & M pants look so flattering…perfect length for spring too!
This week I am loving coconut water! I went through a phase of drinking it regularly but then stopped! I forgot how much I enjoy it and drinking out of the coconut makes it that much more enjoyable!
I can't wait to hear about your vacation. I really want to vacation there sometime soon!
And I'm currently on a shopping ban but as soon as May hits, I'm buying those short, in about 3 different colors…LOVE!
And in my "I've only been married 7 months" opinion, I think the secret to a good marriage is to laugh…a lot! 🙂
i loved that short and pants both! I havent been shopping really since x-mas – its time to venture H & M. Your niece's voice is gooood 🙂 and i love that song too. You guys have a safe travel and bring us lots of pictures. The week was just normal, nothing exciting on my side 🙁
Have so much fun in Mexico, Nisha! Can't wait to see pics and hear about it when you're back 🙂
Jasmin is amazing! She's so cute too. Has she thought of American Idol or X Factor?
I've been married almost 13 years and I'm still trying to unravel the mystery my friend. Have the best time in Mexico…you will look fantastic in the shorts, I'm sure.
There are no secrets- that's the secret! 😉 Apart from always being right- my husband just never tries to prove me wrong!
Happy vacation and have a great time in Mexico!
Im going to Mexico at the end of March – but to Cancun! Cant wait! Enjoy!
Have a great trip, I am sure just being on a getaway will take care of health! 🙂
Your niece is certainly talented, love Maroon 5!
Regarding blissful marriage, I don't know the all the secrets, as I am learning them with time, but one sure thing is the ability to make each other laugh!
Awaiting to see pics of your trip and feedback on lodging etc.
@Nisha – haha, you are probably right. Jasmin is 16 years old, I'm glad you liked her video. Thank you! 🙂
@Khushboo – We will be away for 5 days.. the H&M pants are very flattering. I tried Coconut Water once and didn't love it for some reason, perhaps I need to give it another shot.
@Parita – I will do all my posts on Playa del Carmen next week.. and fill you guys in on all the details. So far, I love this place, a great place to visit. Haha… yes, you are probably right, sense of humor is key!
@Dixya – thank you for saying Jasmin's voice is good.. I love her voice too. 🙂
@Lauren – thanks girl.. will fill you guys in on all the details.
@Ameena – thanks so much.. she is amazing. 🙂 I don't know about Idol and X Factor.. we haven't really gotten that far yet. Haha.. I know marriage is a mystery, don't think anyone will ever figure out the secret. 🙂
@diaryofIndianMum – no secret? There must be a few. 🙂 Thanks!
@Anonymous – going to Cancun? I highly recommend Playa del Carmen if you haven't booked your hotel yet. 🙂
@sharikahline – thanks for the compliment, I'm sure Jasmin will be thrilled to know. Sense of humor is definitely the key to happiness in any relationship. 🙂
Love the cute cotton sailor shorts! Happy Anniversary btw, those are some beautiful roses.
Awwww your husband is such a cutie and really sweet 😀
Love those shorts too and the checkered pants too!
Cheers
CCU
@Natalie – Thanks.. really appreciate it. Love the shorts and roses too. 🙂
@Guru – Thank you… the checkered pants are really cute.. I want to buy some ankle length print.
Have fun in Mexico, looking fab in cute shorts 🙂
Jasmin is so adorable and talented. She should audition for one of the singing shows.
And I've been on coconut water phase. Since returning from Malaysia. It's been non-stop.
Have a amazing time and wish you both happy and a safe trip! your shopping choices are great… Enjoy
@Kiran – thanks. Jasmin is so adorable and talented, I agree! I hope all these comments will encourage her to sing for a bigger audience. I never got into Coconut Water – the Vita stuff, I think it tastes more authentic on the beaches. 🙂
@Deepti – Thank you.. glad you approve!
love the printed pants with the basics!
