WIWW: Black, Gray and Origami Sleeves

More than a week ago, the hubz and I went on a weekend escapade to neighboring Portugal as his wedding anniversary gift for me. I´ve been to a lot of places in Portugal but it´s the first time that we stayed in the Douro Valley, the only region in Portugal where they grow grapes for port wine production. Here´s what I wore on our last day( second day was last week´s WIWW post):

I wanted to be comfortable as possible because this was the day where we´re going back to Spain so I wore pants and as usual, my fave studded flats of all time. The top with an origami designed sleeves was an old find which I excavated from the bottom of my closet. lol! I don´t know where I bought this but it´s from a Spanish designer. For some color to the whole look, I just added a bright fuschia bangle in python skin AND another cute bangle in brown leather and silver ribbon which I found cute. :)

As for that reversible black tote, it´s becoming my go-to bag these days. I love that it comes in basic black and whenever I wear a monochromatic look, I can always turn it inside out and wear a dark fuchsia bag in a sec. How´s that for a multiple duty bag? ;)

Comfy outfits are the best choice for a trip. I like your fedora! I really love hats and above all in summer time.

I need to get me one of those bags - it would save me always having the tissues/lipstick in 'the other bag'!

Thanks for sharing with Wardrobe Wednesday - I LOVE the top and can't believe you just pulled it out of hiding. Hope we see you again this week xo

Flyday Fridays: Paris (part 1)

Image
The first time I went to Paris was in early spring. It was raining and gloomy but that didn´t stop me from falling in love with this romantic city. Here are some things to do and places to visit when you´re in Pa-gheee . ;) 1, 2, 3: Get lost inside le Louvre,  pass by   Mona Lisa´s room and get mesmerized by her coy smile and if you like ancient jewelry, be enthralled by the museum´s jewelry collection. Even the bishop´s crozier is bejeweled! 4: Admire the Sainte Chapelle´s amazing ceiling, structure and colorful stained glass windows. 5,6: Fall in line (entrance is free!) and admire the sculpture and stained windows of the Notre Dame. By this time you´re very tired and so take a rest at the park/garden at the back of the church. Later you can cross the small bridge and have your lunch at one of the numerous creperies and restaurants in the small island. 7,8: After a light lunch, take the metro and go to Montmartre and visit the Sacré Coeur....

Hi, y´all! So here I am again, posing in front of my kitchen door. My photographer aka the hub z  isn´t available today and so I´m back shooting in my kitchen(again), I hope you don´t mind! ;) Here´s another winter white version with an ivory top which you´ve already seen me wear here in the blog and my favorite white pants. The furry clutch in teal is another recent addition to my growing clutch collection which doesn´t seem to stop, ooops ! I would like to call this as my winter farewell outfit although technically spring starts on the 3rd week of  March and snow´s coming this week. ;) top and clutch - Zara, pants- Pimkie, shoes- local store I´ve worn the top here: And the pants here: and with this black/white Mango sweater which accidentaly went into the hubby´s church donation pile early last year. Thank goodness, the Custo Barcelona clutch was safe because it´s Pantone´s color of 2014, whew ! So what´s your version of winter white? No...

shirt dress converted to top - Zara ( from the sales last year) Lately, I´ve discovered that the extra pounds that I´ve unconsciously piled over the past years have finally settled comfortably on my face. I´m going to hide my face for now. ;) Do you have a wgi (weight gain indicator and I made this up)  in your body? I do and it´s my face (aside from the muffin top). hehe!;) earrings - bazaar (Phils.) I love shirt dresses. They´re loose and they basically hide anything that you wanted to hide. Know what I mean? ;) One bad thing about this particular dress shirt though is the fit. It´s too loose, a bit short and it doesn´t look good with my mini ... and so a lot of rolling and folding was done to achieve the  laid back look that I wanted to create . That´s me rolling and folding below. ;) I´m just kidding about hiding my face. Here it is... and yes, my face is so healthy, no? :) Say hello to the weight gain culprit ! My guilt...
