Monday Remix: White Button Down and Summer Jeans

Image
Hello my darling blogger friends and readers! So here´s another buttown down and jeans outfit for you today. Another no-fuss dressing formula for all the lazy dressers out there, tried and tested by yours trully. :) I´ve had this button down since last Christmas but only wore it until now. Quality wise, the cloth is thicker than the summer button downs being sold right now which is great because I want my clothes to last me more than a few washes. ;) As for the shoes, I needed something light, with a little heel and in neutral colors which would be perfect for the spring and summer weather. I was lucky to find this pair in my size and the snake skin print and the T-straps are a plus too! How was was your weekend? I spent mine in Bordeaux(France)  but  it´s raining every  five to ten minutes! Oh yes, it wasn´t that cool at all and I only had half the fun but it was okay. More of this in my next travel posts. Stay tuned! button down - Sfera, jeans - Zara, clutch - Mas

Flyday Fridays: Chambray and Black( Again)

Image
Hi, everyone! Can you believe that  we´re on the last days of June, where did the first half of the year go? Time really flies so fast we have to make the most of it everyday. And I haven´t done much yet, oh geee! Anyway, here´s another basic look for you today. There´s nothing more basic than a chambray top and dark jeans. I know this is lame, hahaha! I´d love to wear white all summer but  I´m a clumsy white wearer most of the time  so chambray is the best alternative for me to survive the day without having to fret if I stained my white outfit or not. This is my favorite go-to look when I have nothing to wear, that´s why I stock up on chambray tops. ;) I´m so excited because we´ll be going on a trip to the northern side of France this weekend. It´s been four years since we last visited that part of France. I will tell you how it´ll go soon and I hope it doesn´t rain so much there because there´s nothing here but thunderstorms and hail in the afternoons. In the meanti

WIWW: B/W, Stripes and Red

I´m bringing WIWW to you from my kitchen door today! ;) With more than four years of  posting outfit photos here in the blog(  yep, I´ve been here that long although I don´t take it seriously, hahaha!)  this outfit´s got to be my most favorite look. After years of  finding the style that works best for my lifestyle and body type and experimenting with trends once in a while, I´ve come to realize that minimalist dressing is the ONE for me. I could go over the top   with colors and prints because I also love vibrant colors and crazy prints but clean lines and a flattering silhouette really makes a difference when you dress up. Agree or agree? ;) So today my darlings, the secret´s out. I´m part of the minimalist dressing cult. lol! Okay, I know that you´ve known that all along so much so if you´re a regular reader of my blog. Don´t get me wrong, I still love my prints and bold colors but dressing up in neutral colors is perfect to me too! top, necklace and clutch - Zara,

Monday Remix: Blush and Rosettes

Holaaa! How to look casual chic in the summer heat? Wear prints with a light colored top and pearls/ chunky jewelry. It works every time for me! :) Summer´s officially begun last weekend. On our side, that means, very hot mornings and afternoons and hail and rain by early evening, lol! Anyway, I don´t have a lot of pink tops in my closet. My summer tops consist of mostly white, chambray, gray and a jumbled mix of black, dark blue and animal prints. So I plan to remix this lightly knitted pink top more. Right now , I´m on outfit number two with this rosette printed pants which I can easily wear until fall. Although floral pints are usually worn during spring(typical!), this print was also on trend last year during fall. I´m glad that I bought this prined pants because I can mix and match  any top with it, change the accessories, thus creating a lot of looks. Genius, isn´t it? ;) top and pants - Zara, clutch(very old) - Esprit, shoes(old) - local store I first wo

Flyday Fridays: The Portuguese Venice

Image
Good morning my friends! :) As promised, here´s another photo-heavy travel post which I´ll start with Aveiro´s cathedral: and the museum´s door, hahaha! Anyway, Aveiro(Portugal) is a bustling city in Centro Portugal whose most important industry is salt production. It has a beautiful palace-museum which is a must see especially the chapel( my pic is a blah, no pics). The capital city of the same name is also called ¨ Venice of Portugal¨ because of it´s beautiful canals ( though not as grand and as vast as Venice´s) and colorful ¨gondolas¨. I was quite hesitant to ride the gondola at first because the route is quite short but  we had the best tour guide in the gondola who spoke  English, Portuguese and Spanish which kept us informed about the city´s history and important buildings as we glide along the river. One of the most informative rides that we´ve had actually than Venice, Italy. Here´s what I wore, dark jeans and a light leopard printed top because the morning

WIWW: Cropped Sweater

Image
Hola, holaaa! The wind got crazy and cold last Sunday and so I decided that a little layering would do to survive the day. Although I´m a bit hesitant of crop tops  ( the last time I wore one was when I was 13 years old and that was a century ago, hahaha!) , they can make a great layering piece especially when wearing a button down. See? ;) So what do you think of  cropped sweaters? They make the perfect layering piece, no? button down - Sfera, cropped sweater - Pimkie, pants - Zara So how´s the week so far?

Monday Remix: Summer Dressing

Happy Monday, all! :) Summer´s definitely here, can you feel the heat? It´s time to put more of that sunblock on your skin, wear a hat for extra shade from the sun and very important: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! And when I say hydrate, I don´t mean with those mind numbing delicious cocktails that we love to sip by the poolside, dahlings   but with water or whatever summer fruit that takes your fancy. ;) As for what to wear, we all know the drill, hot pants for the daring ( I´m not NOT because I don´t want to but because my BOD DOESN´T ALLOW IT, hahaha!) , maxi dresses and if you´re like me who goes for non-fussy dressing, a  piece of cotton skirt with a comfy top are good to go. Just accessorize the outfit a little bit and we´ll be fine. :) Today, I´m bringing you my photos from the parking lot. This is much better than my kitchen door, no? lol! Anyway, this is my usual outfit nowadays and yes, I seem to wear just one pair of sandals everyday. Just one of those phases, y
