Black and White

Got this whole outfit from Zara lately. I love stripes but I don´t remember buying any in black and white before. It could be in any color combination except black and white because I find the combo a little bland but just by feeling how soft the cloth is, it´s roomy and flowy the style ( perfect for those bloated days) and that pocket at the front made me give in. Moreover it´s right on trend with it´s huge stripes and so it´s a lovely addition to my spring wearables.


As for the pants below, it has this soft velvety texture which I´m liking a lot.


The thing is, I´m a size ¨in-between sizes¨and so I usually opt for the bigger size because my hips couldn´t fit into the smaller size even if my legs are molded into perfection. As a result, the pants are a little loose and I look huge in them. Oh the agony of jeans/pants shopping! I´ve also discovered that the zipper is broken. Looks like I have to return this at all or maybe not because I really like this pair. I don´t know...


So yeah, with these stripes in my closet right now, I´m basically ready for spring. Are you? ;)

Just asking,

Che

It sounds like you have a bit of a love-hate relationship with these pants :( On another note, the stripes are chic and I LOVE Zara.

I love stripes especially when they are oversized shirts ;).If you love your trousers, keep it!

Wish I can show you the scarf soon... but so far wala pa akong makita sa closet ko na babagay sa flowery scarf and the weather here now really sucks, that makes me feel lazy all the time;(( or it could be that I am suffering from mid life crisis wahhhhhh with gray hair popping out all the time.

Have a lovely stripey day.

HELLO, IT´S BEEN A WHILE...

Image
 It´s been forever since I´ve updated this blog of mine. So just to give you an update of where I´ve been and what I´ve been doing, I´m still here in my tiny corner of the world and visiting high places( as in mountains) and traipsing around vineyards just before the wine season is about to start. With international travel getting a bit complicated due to the you know what, I´ve learned to appreciate and be contented with what´s right in our own backyard. I´ve always been a nature lover through and through and so travelling to big urban jungles isn´t a big deal for me. The city where I live is full of parks and surrounded by mountains and just a little less than an hour, you can also visit the vineyards for free because they´re just along the highway. As for the wine tasting, that, you have to pay though.;) We took these pics at the beginning of summer where the grapes look like tiny little dots yet. In a month or so, they would be ready for harvesting and you´ll be seeing those purpl

WIWW: What I was Wearing Lately

Image
 Hello, my loves! Yep, it´s been half a year since I´ve been gone. As usual, real life got in the way with virtual life ( although I wasn´t really very active with virtual life to begin with, oops!) . Anyhoo,   here´s just to give you  a heads up that I´m still alive and kicking and even if I may  be not upgrading the blog with new posts for a very lo ooong time, I´m still on trend with the, uh, trends . 😃 Like for example, the ubiquitous animal print aka  leopard print, I´m still wearing it. Mine though is a jacket from more than two years ago. A print like this never goes out of style and so you better stock on it. Just pair it with a monochrome look and you´re good to go. sweater- Pull & bear, pants- Bershka, shoes- Nike, coat(old)- Mango  As for the snakeskin print,  I experimented on it a few years ago with a dress but this time, I opted for a pair of booties which I got during the Black Friday sales last December. It was one of my best buying decisions last year

Camel, what color art thou?

Image
I´ve been seeing different  shades of the color camel in the internet and I´m quite confused as to what type of color and shade it really is. So I did a little research and found this: source Hahaha! Just kidding! :) But if you look at the picture closely, the color of a camel´s skin should be in a shade of grayish brown, no?  According to  Wiki  , ¨Camel is a color that resembles the color of the hair of a camel and the first recorded use of camel as a color name in English was in 1916. Based on fashion trivia, camel is the color of a specific type of overcoat known as a polo coat or camel-hair coat . In a 1951 Collier´s magazine fashion article, it is stated that camel colored polo coats are proper to wear in the summer , in the country and in the southern part of the US, but  navy blue overcoats are proper to wear in the city and in autumn, winter, and spring. ¨ Whoa, right now it´s the current autumn color trend worldwide! Fashion has always been wacky, no?  Here´s
