Anythign Goes Monday: Pinterest

When I get tired of looking at fashion sites and personal style blogs for inspiration, I turn to Pinterest. I know you do that too! ;) It´s the only site so far(IMO) where you can browse and oggle at your favorite things in one place and then save/pin them and for in-depth reading( especially recipes and DYIs) later. The pins also link back to the original uploader which to me is a very good way to acknowledge the source.

Anyway, it was in Pinterest where I got to learn how to loosen one of my super tight shoes in minutes and it works! You only need your hair drier, thick socks and your tight shoes. Put your feet with  thick socks on  inside the shoes. Heat the part( not too close!) where it´s tight for a few seconds or more. Wiggle and spread your toes. Allow the shoes to cool down without removing your feet. Repeat again if needed but don´t remove feet with socks until the shoes have cooled down so that the leather will completely mold to your feet.  I got this DYI idea here . You can try it, it really work for me! :)

One thing that I don´t understand though is how come a black and white dotted top or pants or a black and white vertical or in the case of what I´m wearing, horizontal stripes have been appearing in Pinterest as monochrome this or monochrome that. It baffles me. Shouldn´t be these called two-tone and stripes?

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
