SweetSpot

 

My SweetSpot creation: euro tart topped with cheese cake, mango, blueberries, strawberries, passion fruit and 

lychee!!! (please excuse my chipped nail)

When my best friend told me she would be opening a frozen yogurt shop 6 months ago, I was enthused! But I truly did not understand the extent of her dream. She has far exceeded any vision I had of her dream shop and more....!!!!!!

 

Owner, Nghi Dang / Myself / Leslie

SweetSpot located in Framingham, MA, across the street from Framingham State University, has become the hottest desert destination for families, college students, locals, health nuts and tourist alike! All thanks to the hard work and dedication of its owner, Nghi Dang (aka my BFF!!!). The shop is bright and filled with pop colors from the tile design to the couches. Join the fun with friends at a group table while playing one of many numerous games at the shop. Or looking for a quite moment?! Curl up on a soft, fluffy couch with your SweetSpot frozen treat and let your mind wonder!!

 

My personal favorite is the euro tart frozen yogurt with fruits! But no worries there are plenty of flavors to chose from and they change weekly!!! And top it with all you healthy favorites or guilty pleasures ;-)

I'm not one for sweets or too many treats but this SweetSpot is one I cannot pass up!!!! When in town or in the area be sure to stop by my favorite and the hottest desert spot in Framingham, MA (OH!! FYI: the Natick Mall is only minutes away for shopping....double the fun!! :-) 

SweetSpot....the sweetest spot to be!!!

O Captain! My Captain!

 

O Captain! My Captain!

Keeping warm in the city has become priority over all else!!! The brisk cold is no joke and those whom have taken it lightly have fallen ill with the flu. It is of great importance to keep covered and warm....with that said wool, fur and heat technology in apparel have become the new BFF!

I decided to take on the cold with my bold stripe scarf from Gap, brushed wool plaid jacket from Kate Spade, a black turban, and topped with a wool military inspired hat from Forever 21. 

With every look details are important and some take more effort than others. Although, I loved the shape of the hat it was missing an element of detail. Shopping around in the fashion district one day, i stumbled on the lion crest and fell in love!!

...it was the missing detail to my beautiful hat!!! Details don't have to be all consuming, they just have to make a powerful impact!

Be warm and forever fashionable!

Blaze(red) Up!!

 

Some looks have many elements but some only need one! Like this look here...all my friend Jazz needed was a blazer to set this look on fire. She is wearing a vintage double breasted blazer from Dreams Of Fash Vintage  paired with a flesh tone classic clutch and heels! Add a few well placed jewels and you too will be ready for a night out on the town. 

Fash Tip: Because the legs play a huge part in this look, add a touch of baby oil to highlight them! (FYI it also keeps them warm on cold night :-*)

What do you think?!! Like or Not??!!!

Happy New Year Friends!!!!!!!

 

...before I start posting for 2013, let me apologize for my tardiness in wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope and wish that you are on track with whatever you new year's resolutions may be. I have been missing in action on this page :( (which is sooooo not ok) ,but I have been updating events, parties, looks via instagram and Facebook!!! Please be sure to follow so you get the latest updates of Dreams Of Fash! 

So 2013....no resolutions, just promises. I personally find (for me that is) that promises are easier for me to keep than resolutions. Resolution is to Trend as a Promise is to Style ;) I promised to continue my self search to becoming a better me. 2012 was a year of awakening and revelations for me and I want to continue to explore within me and the world I have been blessed to reside in! 

I love God, family and you.....continue to be blessed. HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVES xx

Embracing me...

Embracing me...

Some days are difficult

Others are not 

But for both 

I am grateful and blessed.

Embracing me...

I wouldn't change my 

Earthly childhood

Awkward adolescences

Or roaring twenties

For anything less or more.

Embracing me...

Because from my point of view

He is not done with me yet

And I am okay with that

He's just began.

Fash Tip: Every step in your journey to find you(your true self) is a blessing even the ones you view as a  disadvantage. Let go and free your heart to the will that be. Much love

One of the people that made my Thanksgiving celebration amazing was my bff. We have been friends since 4th grade and naturally you can imagine we have been through a lot together but the one thing that is never changing is our love and respect for each other. 

When we get together its like..."I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh..."

And for that I will forever be thankful!!! #1love

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again Ooh ooh ooh

Look whoes off to Spain!!??!!!

This gorgeous turquoise sequin dream dress was originally a 1980s nightmare!!!!

 

..the moment I saw this dress, I was in love with it. It looked old, a mess, and unwearable at first sight but I think that's what made me fall in love with it! Then........ahhh the sequin beading artwork on 100% silk was breath taking. 

 

So of course I bought it for my etsy Dreams Of Fash Vintage store... but now how to revamp it for today's fashion forward world. I thought risk-ay, scandalous, short, dance... and the final look came to me!

....making sure to be careful with the sequin artwork, I cut off all excess fabric to keep only what I needed. And just like that this sequin sea goddess was born!!!!! 

 

I debated for a few weeks whether I was ready to part with this piece and finally with heartache posted it on my etsy site. Less than a week and it was sold to a client in Spain!! I am very happy that someone amazing will be enjoying this piece and loving it as much as I did working on it!!! 

I'm a proud mama and this is my baby!!! To view my other babies click here---> dreamsoffashvintage

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!!!!!

 

Today we reflect on the things, people and moments that we are thankful for. I am thankful for the Lord above always guiding my footsteps and catching me when I fall. I'm thankful for my family for always being the everlasting support system in my life. We love, we laugh, we flight but best of all we are always constant in each others life. And last but most definitely not least, I'm thankful for YOU. Thank you for being in my life, being part of my at-times-crazy world, playing an important part, teaching me, advising me, loving me, dancing with me, fighting with me and simply being YOU! I love you and wouldn't wish for anything more because you are my more....Happy #Thanksgiving!!! #1love
