What I would give to spend Mother's Day with my Ma. But I refuse to be sad because my mother would not want me to be this way. She made it clear to live life fully and to make time to enjoy it. Life is endured with its ebbs and flows but also remember that it's short. It goes fast. So, for this week's look, I'm dedicating it to my Ma, Sun-Hui, a.k.a. Sunny.

My outfit I styled (including hair and makeup), is in reflection toward what I'd actually wear this coming Sunday. If I could be with her, we'd definitely start Mother's Day with brunch! New York City style! And this casual chic look is not only something I'd be wearing, but it is also a twist on her style, which was fresh, light, and always feminine. But she was also cheeky. I remember her having a tank top with the words, 'slippery when wet' on the front. I admired her fashion sense and even when I was little, she'd dress me up in girly outfits and hair do's. But that all changed around the age of 6-7, when I started to develop my own individuality. I didn't want her to pick out my outfits anymore because I felt they were no longer my style! I knew it'd hurt her feelings, and when I had told her she did take it badly. I just wasn't a girly-girl and dresses were not really my thing. My favorite piece of clothing as a kid? Colored sweatpants! 😝

Fast forward some decades later and yes, now I like dresses (from time to time). No, I still don't prefer sweatpants, though pajamas are a close runner up especially when working from home. Ha, ha! I'm definitely a t-shirt and jeans kind of gal. Add in some sneakers and I'm good to go. But, lately, I, myself, have been feeling more feminine. Like a flower, in the process of blooming. I can't wait to share with you a brand new story in the next coming days! It has a lot to do with flowers and I've got the perfect gift idea for Mother's Day! A definite must-do if I were to spend Sunday with my Ma. Stay tuned.

Mother's Day is this Sunday! My fourth 'Suz's Look' video is a play-up on what'd I'd be wearing if my Ma was still here and if I was lucky enough to spend the day with her. A twist on her style, if you will.

Wide Leg and Bottega

WEARING: ASOS BLACK CHIFFON BLOUSE | H&M WIDE LEG PANTS W/ SUSPENDERS 
BOTTEGA VENETA LOAFERS & BAG | HAIR BY: GLAM & GO

First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Belgium. This morning's news of the Brussels attack makes it hard to stay positive in an already-changing world we are all living in. My heart is in pain for the victims and their families, because not only were lives lost and forever altered but this tension; this fear that now lurks in the air, that had been building up since the Paris attacks, is certainly palpable. I know, however, that the people of Belgium will be resilient and remain standing tall with their heads held up high. We are with you. Much, much, much - so much love to you all.

Today's look is all about the wide leg spring trend. I love its masculine vibe but I also always feel like a Hepburn when wearing my favorite wide leg pants from H&M. Can I just mention the fact that they came with suspenders - which definitely makes me feel a little bit like a 1920s gangster?! Ha ha! All kidding aside, I love the shape and hold of these styled pants. They're empowering and when it comes right down to it, you'll look like you mean serious business, but in a good way! It is definitely not a man's world! To complement the strong long lines of the pants and suspenders, I paired it with a black chiffon blouse from ASOS. It gives the whole outfit a little softness - keeping it feminine.

One of my favorites when it comes to Italian leather is Bottega Veneta. Their leather feels like butter and the quality; superb. I paired my favorite chocolate brown plaited loafers with a matching bag. I love the texture of both - gives the outfit a modern but edgy look. I always got to have a little something extra when it comes to my style! This Bottega bag is from Purses for Nurses, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to make a lasting improvement on global healthcare by funding volunteer trips that send nurses to the places they are needed the most!

And lastly, my hair was done by Glam & Go, a hair salon that does memberships for unlimited blowouts! You can kiss bad hair days goodbye! $150 a month and you can get blowouts, braids, buns and more! And their location's essential... they're at the David Barton Gym! Now not only do you not have an excuse to go to the gym but on top of it, with multiple locations, you'll never have to worry about your hair looking fly again. I can't wait to go back for some more do's! Thanks again, guys! You totally rock!
