The Weekend

Happy Monday, all!

I had the most interesting weekend despite it being rainy and cold. Here´s what I did:

 Sunday: Went out to cast my first vote as a Spanish citizen. The temperature went down to as low as 13ºC so I had to bundle up quite a bit. This was my voting outift, a turteneck light floral sweater which and a grayish green jacket which has been with me since last year:

Saturday: Went to Bilbao to go to buy Ikea´s mustard and basil sauce ( I´m a fan of this dressing!), went malling( and got inside Primark too) and visited almost all of the outlet stores (scored a pleated navy blue skirt at the Mango Outlet store for 5. 99 euros!)) and then:

 ended up lining at the Guggenheim despite the heavy downpour. It´s the museum´s 15th annivesary and so the entrance free was free. Too bad we didn´t go on a Sunday, they serve free cupcakes too. :(

Also took a sneaky photo( after this one of the guides caught us, lol!) of the work of Richard Serra in one of the salas of the Guggenheim. This is just one of the gigantic sheet metals found in whole sculpture called Matter of Time.

These running LED lights are a huge crowd drawer too. The reddish color was actually messages about love, heartaches, sadness in written in English and Spanish:

and... Friday afternoon: This is what happens when you wear flats and the photographer aka the hubz is a full head taller than you:

army green jacket- thrifted, shoes- local store, bag- Blanco
You end up looking like a sack of potatoes! There goes my weekender, how about yours? ;)

Enjoy the week, dears!

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

WIWW: Tonal White

Image
Hello, everyone! Here´s a lone snippet of what I wore about two weeks ago. The weather´s turn spring- y to an even summery temperature today and so it looks like winter has gone for good. So consider this a fitting farewell outfit to winter 2018-2019. ;) coat- Pull&Bear, jeans- mango, booties- Zara, bag- Zara The tonal look is a huge trend this year and being a vertically challenged girl that I am, I welcome this trend with open and willing arms.😁 FACT: All of the items that I´m wearing are from the current sales except for the booties which I´ve had for two years now. So this look is a win-win situation after all! Have a lovely mid-week, all! Hugs, Che
