Dressing Up For Me

The other day, the hubz suggested that we pass by the lake. I always love this place because it´s looks so peaceful, so clean and so green. This is one of the things that I love most about the city where I live right now, the overall size of it´s parks is comparable to that of New York´s but the number of inhabitants is nowhere that near to NY´s. How´s that for healthy living? ;) When I told the hubz that I´m going to dip my feet in there, he took a candid photo of me. Caught in the act, hahaha! My feet can only take me near the shoreline because the water´s cold. Ayayay! I love this maxi skirt which I reworked into a dress (again!) because of it´s floral applique. Actually aside from the color and the assymetrical hem, it´s the applique which caught my eye. The long beaded necklace looks exotic to me too. Colored corn, anyone? ;) The day started out as having clear blue skies but while driving down there, all the clouds seemed to have gathered above the lake making most of my photo...

Black and ferocious.. and tie-dyed too! ;) Now for some serious poses ( just kidding!) Snapping self-photos sneakily using the camera timer while the hubz was downstairs waiting for the carpenter. He hates photography as much as I love it. hehe! Location : bare kitchen of our new flat Wearing : top - Pull and Bear denim bermudas and earrings - random stores Despite the suffocating heat, this is one my comfiest tops ever even if it´s black. Maybe because it´s so light, flowy and sooo roomy. I first wore it here , paired with black denim jeggings and lots of bling! This time, I just styled it a la one-shoulder with a pair of denim bermudas, a pair of silver teardrop earrings and my fave cuff (we´re inseparabe) of the moment. My look has to be comfy and dark because we´re throwing away lots of torn boxes and some leftover stuff aka trash . No heels for me, not even flats because it´s too hot to wear one. Yes, I´m guilty of wearing flipflops, yet again. hahaha! :) And this my lovelies i...

The best part of Oviedo is not the city (unless you´re into shopping, because it´s still sales season ;) ) but the outskirts. The hubz and I traveled about 3 kms. away from the city to see these monuments  which are up on the hill of Naranco. ( hat -Zara Men, eyelet lace top - Pepe Jeans, dress - Zara Kids! ;), bag, sunglasses - H&M, sandals - Blanco) The Palace of Santa María del Naranco is a pre-romanic palace constructed in the 9th century. It was the residence of one the 1st monarchs of Asturias, Ramiro I. This is the oldest palace in Europe. It was quite a steep climb to the hill and wearing sandals didn´t help but once you reach the top, the climb and the fear of breaking the straps of my sandals was worth it. Above is a view of the city of Oviedo. Later we climbed more to see this ancient church  at the bottom constructed by the same king. Only one part of the old structure remained but it was still beautiful from the inside. That is if you...

I still have lots of photos from the trip to show you but since my last post kinda had a photo overload, let´s segue to a what-I-wore portion for now. ;) Wearing a plain shirt and a pair of light capri pants is what keeps me going these days in this unbearable heat. I just layer the top with a vest to make the whole look interesting. ;) My current lip gloss ran out on me and so I needed a new one but still in pink.haha! I´m loving this color right now. It´s called Violine Quartz by Yves Rocher , a French brand. It´s actually a dark shade but in the photo it turned out lighter. I can´t wear red lipstick/gloss even if I´m dying to because it doesn´t suit the color of my skin and I have thick lips. So pink or light brown it is. ;) Oh and yes, if you´re wondering what the title is all about, I´m wearing a Pink Panther printed shirt by Bershka. Just can´t let go of the kiddie side in me. ;) Have a fun weekend my darlings! :) Yours truly, Che

Haloooo! So this is where the real trip starts. ;) gray shorts - H&M Actually no, hihihi! We stopped by the city´s center first after depositing our things in the hotel and then later we visited this hotel-palace. I took this picture during twilight, that´s why it´s dark. At the right side of the hotel (not seen here) is a church with a mini-museum. There was a wedding going on our first day here and so we weren´t able to get inside the church but... I was able to take a photo of the red and white vintage bridal car. ;) Sneaky! Too bad I wasn´t able to see the bride, the hubz was itching to go back the city´s center and explore it more. These are the remains of the ancient wall of the city. If you want a more preserved wall, visit my blog here about Ávila but you have to finish reading this post first before hopping to my other blog . ;) stripe top - Promod, cami - Mango The Catedral de Sta. María of León. This cathderal is huge, the photo above is just the facade. It was buil...

Hi, everyone and I´m back! :) We went to León and Oviedo over the weekend. León is a province of Castille and Leon while Oviedo is the capital of the Asturias region and is the birthplace of the gorgeous Princess Letizia (wife of Prince Felipe of Spain). The road trip was a blast and along the way we stopped by this wheatfield  near Valladolid to take a photo of the ripe wheat ready for harvesting. I would´ve loved to wade through a sea of ¨wheat stalks¨ for a better shot but they pinch my skin so I stopped right then and there where the stalks start growing. hehehe! Then we stopped by Frómista( in Palencia) to see the  Iglesia(Church) of San Martín, an 11th century well-preserved Roman Church. Imagine that! This is a favorite stopover for tourists and for pilgrims on the way to St. James in Compostela.The churches in this town are surrounded by swallows. I love it! Here´s another church that we found in this town....

Kaixo! This is going to be a short post. I´m having an impromptu weekend get-away starting today with the hubs. What a perfect excuse to paint my nails metallic blue. hahaha! My toes look weird. Here´s a another photo: There... is that better? ;) I´ll be visiting your blogs when I come back. Bye for now! ;) Besos! Che

Hi, everyone! Wearing : white polo shirt - Lacoste skirt - Vero Moda sandals - Blanco pearl charm bracelet - bazaar (Phils.) Polo shirts and skirts are my staple summer uniform. You might have known that by now if you´re following my blog posts these past days. ;)  Noticed how I´m wearing the same top over and over again? You see I have this terrible addiction of buying the same tops  pieces in multiples.  I just change the color to make it look... ah.. different. hahaha! So boring, no? ;) Here´s more proof: some of my V-neck knitted tops I know you do that too! ;) This time I wore white because the heat´s been unbearable for more than two weeks now. My skin´s turning honey brown and I haven´t even gone to the beach yet! Pardon the redundant outfit post. I´m comfortable with just a simple top and a skirt nowadays. So how´s your week? Mine´s been a continuous window shopping trip from one furniture store to another. At...
