Dressing Up For Me

This gotta be my cheesiest title post ever. Bwahahaha! Anyway, since I´m feeling really lousy today to take an outfit photo, might as well share with you some of my ring collection. I think most of my ¨pin¨ money went into this but it´s worth it, at least for me. :) local store local store local store local store local store Bijou Brigitte Bijou Brigitte I have a confession to make, I´m a serious bling collector. I collect everything that is chunky and glittery even if it´s not gold. Maybe because I was born under the sign of the Rat. You know, hoarder. Ngeeh! Mango I still have a lot more to share but I  don´t wanna keep you tied up from your daily blog hopping session due to the excessive photo overload of this post. So here´s  a parting shot of my fave of the favorites that I love wearing nowadays: I don´t even understand the half-heart swirling floral pattern that it has but what drew me into this ring is the peachy- orangey- pinky-br...

This is a long overdue thanks to the lovely Sweet of  Confessions of a Drama Queen   for giving me this award: Thanks, Sweet ! ;) With this, I´m supposed to list 10 things that makes me happy. Instead, I´m listing 10 things that I´m loving right now in no particular order. Let´s get the ball rolling, shall we? ;) 1. Chocolate Painted Toenails Perfect for my burnt bronze feet, don´t you think? ;) 2. Japanese Street Style Fashion When looking for inspiration on how to dress up casually, I always go to Style Arena . Tokyo´s major street style fashion site. The Japanese really know their fashion. 3. Daniel Henney He´s an American-Korean famous model and actor. He is FABULOUS, appeared as  Agent Zero in the movie X-Men Origins:Wolverine  and cute in the Korean bilingual movie Seducing Mr. Perfect . You can watch the trailer here . He´s my no. 2 crush, the hubz comes 1st of course. ;) 4. Unakite Nec...

Haloo, halooo! I´m still alive and kicking. ;) Sorry for the late update, life´s  a bit busy nowadays. Anyway, have you seen a live mock tournament set in the Middle Ages for real? You know those knights in full battle gear, jousts, lance throwing and swordfights. Well this afternoon I happened to have seen one and even if it was played by actors, everybody in the plaza had fun including  me. ;) There were 5 main players (a woman included) and we were cheering and laughing while it was being re-enacted because the actors and actress were so funny. lol!  I always find guys in horses kinda cute and romantic especially when dressed like those in the Middle Ages . Weird, no? Must be all those Barbara Cartland and historical romance novels that I´ve read when I was younger. haha! Anyway, here´s what I wore:  jacket - Mango, sweater - Zara scarf - local store bought in Córdoba, skinny jeans - very old, Bench (Phils.) I can´t deny...

Hi, everyone! top - Mango, belt and leggings - Zara Just passing by to say a quick hello. These past days all I wanna do is to be a couch potato and watch Korean tv series in the internet. No, I don´t speak Korean.They´re translated in English  while some in Spanish! Strange, huh? Hahaha, I don´t how I ended up watching them but tv series ( not just Korean)  can be addicting! So here I  am in my comfy  lounging outfit  and glued on my laptop screen for like forever. Oh man, I need to get a life. lol! So what´s up with you fashionistas lately? ;) xoxo, Che

Out of boredom, I decided to take some close-up photos of my face. Skin does really age fast with time. Five years ago, my face was a lot clearer, smoother and more supple but now, uuhm ... never mind. hahaha! Nevertheless, despite my 30 ++ age ( surprise, surprise!) the wrinkles still have to show it´s evil mark on my face. I may have a few black spots, some post Mr. Chicken Pox scars and a pair of genetically inherited bulging eyebags but it´s okay. I can live with all of that. ;) This is me with all of my unwashed face´s shining glory since this morning. Ngeeh! The last two photos below are of my freshly scrubbed face sans lip gloss. Can you spot the difference? I only use a facial cleanser to clean my face or sometimes Dove ( I´m not paid for this) . No toning, no night cream whatever during those hot summer nights because I believe that the skin generates it´s own oil while we sleep. I rarely use make-up but I always use a sunblock when I go out even in wint...

Hi, everyone! It´s a rainy day in here. Awhile back I was saying that summer may be staying for a while  but it looks like that´s not gonna happen for now. The colder days are here ( at least on this side of the world) and it´s time to take out the long sleeved top, the cardigans, scarves, the jacket and a thicker pair of jeans.  ;) Our new flat is beginning to have a life of it´s own. After most of the basic furniture have been placed, I´ve discovered that there isn´t enough space for anything else. hahaha! Anyway, it´s better this way than a having a big house to clean and maintain, no? ;) Enough of the blah, this was what I wore yesterday while running some errands: top - H&M, jeans - old Levis bangles - Promod, Sfera A 3/4 sleeve top and a pair of jeans is perfect to climb some stairs and walk a few kilometers here and there while carrying the groceries. Yup, my life is boring right but I kinda like it this way after having work...

Halooo! It´s still a very sunny Wednesday here. Looks like summer isn´t going anywhere soon. ;) top - Mango (summer sales 2010) I know that I´m quite behind the mix prints trend but since I don´t always follow the trends, I´m sharing with you my version just now. Better late than never, no? They say that one of the best ways to rock this trend is to use the same color combination. So I came up with an olive green/brown see-thru top which I´ve already worn here and a pair of floral capri pants. Et voila! So wat d´yah tenk? :) capri floral pants - thrifted I think that pair of clogs helped too! I promised not buy anymore shoes, moreso clogs but at 50% off  my self-restraint broke. hahaha! I know, I´m not the only one who does this when it comes to shoes.Like what they always say, a girl can never have too many shoes. ;) shoes - Blanco ( summer sales 2010) The problem right now is how to break this pair for a longer time. Just after 15 mins. of we...

floral top - Bershka ( summer sales 2010), belt - Zara, bag - Longchamp, shoes and ring - random stores Remember my promise more than a week ago about visiting Bilbao to see the original works of Cristóbal Balenciaga in the Museum of Fine Arts? Well, I´ve  finally fulfilled it today ( Sunday). T he hubz invited me there and I had an amazing time inspectioning the dresses and coats in the collection. Too bad picture taking wasn´t allowed and so this is the only thing I´m showing you: Gosh, I mean really gosh! The collection was so elegant and well-preserved! It´s a 35 -piece collection of haute couture from the 1950s to the late 1960s loaned by the Regional Basque Gov´t and the Cristóbal Balenciaga Foundation. Highlights for me are the 1950s sequined cocktail dress,a silk wedding gown with veil, another cocktail dress embroidered  with green and gold threading and adorned with green precious stones, two 1960s dresses with...

Wearing: lilac top and black leggings - Bershka Nothing much to tell you except that I had a very exciting afternoon talking non-stop with my friend H who spent her vacation in Lebanon. She´s a doll, literally! Very pretty, very smart and with a pleasing personality to boot too. Who doesn´t want a friend like that? ;) If only I can post a photo of her here but I think she wouldn´t allow it because she´s a very private person unlike me. hahaha! She also gave me a special gift from Lebanon which I´ll be sharing with you soon. :) So how did your day go, my dahlings? I hope it went well.;) Kisses, Che PS: Sorry for the crumpled top. I took this picture after 5 hours of tête á tète . I´m even surprised that it survived that long and I didn´t spill anything on it. heheeh!

gold jewelry- circa 13-14th century Museum of Fine Arts ( Lisbon, Portugal) The first thing that I look for inside museums is their jewelry collection. A museum´s jewelry collection aside from the paintings or sculptures is like a personal gauge (for me) if it´s worth visiting or not.What I saw in Lisbon didn´t disappoint me at all. The jewelry collection was so prettily crafted, intricate and more than 600 years old ! I gave it a three thumbs up! ;) Here´s my humble tribute: A star flower and bow ring which I´ve had for almost a decade now. This is part of a jewelry set whose diamonds came from a tennis bracelet which was re-designed/ reset into flowers and bows (the star flower design is a classic trend back then) before it was sold to me . Whoa, that was  a mouthful! My bow bling may be much simpler but I love it just the same. :) Speaking more about bows, here´s my bow shirt which I bought from the Zara summer sales last month which I promptly debuted in my Li...
