Flyday Fridays

Hola, holaaa!

I´ve designated my Friday posts as my travel posts. If you´re a regular reader of this blog you´d know by now that aside from bargain shopping, museum hopping and eating, sightseeing is another favorite hobby of mine. ;) It doesn´t matter if it´s just around the corner or in a nearby town but seeing and discovering a new place always gives me the thrill. You´ll still be seeing my What I Wore outfits incorporated in my posts because in the first place, this is what this blog is all about, dressing up for me. ;)

Anyway, this was what I wore when we stopped by Figueira da Foz in Coimbra, Portugal, a coastal city with a very important seaport. It´s too bad that it was pouring hard that day and so I wasn´t able to take a lot of photos of the place except for this short stop by the seaside and when we´re passing by the bridge:

I went for a casual preppy look and classic jewelry:

If I´d worn slouchy pants, this would be my version of pajama dressing because of my pajama looking buttondown. The truth is I didn´t want to go out of the hotel and just curl up on the bed and sleep that day. It was rainy, cold  and foggy outside. But then, staying at the hotel is boring and it´ll be a waste of vacation time and so we went out instead and braved the rain. I guess I wore what I felt on that day, hehe!

Nevertheless, the trip was fun and we got to see other sights too aside from this town. We could go back here again in spring. ;)

So where are you staying this wekend?

 PS: Happy Thanksgiving to all my US readers! :)

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
