By The Lake

Trying to get the best out of summer through spontaneous out of town town trips in the neighboring provinces. I first saw this town by the lake last winter but we couldn´t stay long enough to take some photos,  everything was dull brown and freezing. Luckily, the weather was bright the other day when we went back to take some photos. Such an idyllic place to stay and probably retire for good. :)

Summer for me will always mean no fuss dressing, arm bling, open toes, an occasional hat and  lots of sunblock.This mustard top is my go-to for summer.I wear this every week but you only got to see it twice in the blog, hahaha! It debuted here and then here. I don´t know, I think I like billowy things because they make a good cover up when you´re bloated. The citrine and amber silver rings were bought from the recently concluded annual fair in my city and the wooden beads from Senegal were the best bargain that I bought from the fair for... 1euro! Can you beat that? ;)

Leaving you a parting shot on the other side of the lake before going:

After the stop by the lake we moved on until reaching the Spanish- French border. You know what? I´d gladly give up the concrete jungle forever for staying in places(lakes and mountains) like these. There´s something in the landscape that´s healing and pleasing to the eyes and soul. What´s yours?

  Happy weekend, everyone! :)

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
