Dressing Up For Me

Hello, hellooo! Today, I´ll be talking about some of my favorite clutches and/or pouches. They´re cute, handy and light to ¨lug¨ around, don´t you think so? ;) I just make sure to put them on my lap when I sit on the table because I usually tend to forget things which don ´t  come with a sling or a handle, hahaha! For those who may ask, I don´t really know the exact difference between a clutch bag or a pouch bag but what I do know is that all of these are small bags  without a handle or a sling which are carried by the hand and which can be ¨clutched¨ / placed under your arms, okies ? ;) Anyway, here are some of my favorites which you see most often in the blog. I´m a clutch collector and these are just part of what I have in my closet. 1. Leather Clutch This is my go-to clutch when going out for some drinks with the hub z or with my girlfriends. I´ve had this since two and  a half years ago. It has this nice brown leather color which matches with everything, ...

Hi, everyone! How´s your Wednesday? In here, it´s getting hotter by the day and all I want to wear is a skirt or a pair of shorts or these loose trousers which I´ve been wearing nonstop and a very light top because the dry heat´s so suffocating. It bites and I´m not kidding! top(old) - Massimo Dutti,   chinos  and  shoes - Mango Aside from light colors, I always love wearing brown during summer. It reminds me of dry grass, brown mountains and the African safari which I´d love to experience someday. I paired the whole look with an ombre printed clutch in different shades of orange and white themed bracelets for a clean and minimalistic look. pouch bag - Zara , bracelet(old ) - Massimo Dutti, pearl bangle(old) - local store Lately, you´re seeing a lot of my poker face in the photos but actually in most of my photo shoots, it´s like this, silly and so candied: It´s a good thing that this pic turned out well, just don´t look at at my legs, hahah...

Helloooo! Pardon for the week-long absence, I went on a short trip to Belgium the other week and forgot to take outfit photos for the blog, hehe. I do have some travel photos  (not much because I was busy catching up with my lovely cousins whom I haven´t met face to face  for more than 10 years,yep, that long!) but I can´t post them here because they´re too personal. Anyway, here´s what I wore the other day when we went to a local fair here in our place and like the untrendy dresser that I am, I dress off-season, hahaha! So here´s my short take for casual autumn dressing, in plum and blue jeans: The good thing about accessorizing a plain outfit is that you can dress it up any way you can.For this look, I used stripes pouch bag and a jewel bracelet, all bought from the sales. It´s a s simple as that! ;) cloth pouch- Massimo Dutti, bracelet- Bimba & Lola So are you still in your summer gear or are you dressing up for fall nowadays? Have a lovely wee...

Hello, hellooo! This is another one of my favorite summer go-to look, a chambray shirt dress which I love hoarding, my candy colored woven bag which can be converted into a crossbody bag and no-nonsense flat sandals for maximum comfort. It´s just as simple as that. ;) I´m going to make this post short because I´m going on a special trip this weekend and I still don´t know what to wear, lol. I´m so excited and will tell you about it soon! shirt dress - Stradivarius, bag - Suite Blanco, sandals - Primark In the meantime, have a fun and lovely Wednesday my darlings! Hugs!

Hello Monday, hello world! :) Summer dressing for me has always been about top and shorts or top and skirt combinations with a sprinkling of denim shirt dresses in-between  a aand   a pair of flat sandals for easy walking on most cobbled stoned streets around here. Let´s make this real, who would want to walk around in high heels in this sweltering 37 ºC(98.6 ºF) heat all day?  Me, no. So  a typical summer wear for me would be like this:   A short top with a colorful necklace (on sale right now!), a frilly lace skirt which is making me hard to pair with anything because of it´s weird waistline( makes me look preggers), thong sandals( a must for me!) and the usual clutch in leather because I´m matchy-matchy like that. ;)   top - Maje, skirt(old ) and necklace - Zara, clutch and sandals - Massimo Dutti So this is how I do summer dressing, what about you? By the way ,the last time that I wore the lace skirt was two years ago wh...

Hola, holaaa! Here´s an easy peasy way to dress up a super casual outfit of jeans and a gray top: Put on a chunky necklace, a pair of silver colored pumps and finish off with an eye-catching printed clutch for a dash of color, et voila! I forgot to take  a close-up shot of  the clutch. It´s got pineapples on it which I found out later that pineapple prints are the trend nowadays. It was part of a special sale more than a month ago, what a lucky buy indeed! clutch - Bimba y Lola Don´t mind the weird face, I was shooting from my kitchen door and using the camera timer and trying not to look silly but I do anyway, hahaha! top , jeans and necklace(old) - Zara Happy Wednesday, all!

Good morning, all! As you may have seen, I made a few changes on the blog´s color theme to give it a warm, fresh and summery look. I hope you like it! For today´s wardrobe remix post, I pulled out my two-year old ¨ batik inspired¨ printed dress dress ( one of the very few dresses that I have, hehe) to go around town last Saturday. dress(old) - Pomod, sandlas(old) - Pimkie As you can see, we ended up in one of the lakes where I can still imagine and smell the freshly barbecued meat hot off the grill and women in bikinis around me while  yours truly,  in a summer dress, hahaha! A clutch or a crossbody bag is a staple for me especially during summer because I don´t normally carry a tote bag unless I go to school or travel. This leather clutch was a Christmas buy from two years ago while the blue colored leather bracelet was a souvenir buy from one of the small shops of ¨El Pueblo Español¨ in Barcelona. This tiny braided bracelet caught my eye beacause it has fish...

Hello, luvlies ! Today´s Flyday Fridays edition is brought to you by the Aranjuez Palace which is about 20 to 25 minutes by train from the capital city of Madrid. I have visited this palace about five years ago, a must if classic artwork and architecture is your thing. There´s also a free view of the wedding gowns of  the Royal princesses and Queen Letizia as an added bonus to the visit. I didn´t get to see the palace gardens back then and so this time, we went straight to them and skipped the palace tour. The weather was fiery hot(pun intended) and so I wore my thinnest cotton shirt with a colorful summery print, shorts, sandals and my ever reliable light tote to store my water and sun screen. I forgot to bring a hat and it was so hot, ooops! The garden beside the palace is called ¨ La Isla¨ (Isle Garden) with lovely evergreen topiaries, a mini forest and with beautiful water fountains in classical Greek style. It was so hot that I was tempted to take a dip in...

Hello, my luvs ! Summer´s full blown in my place, I can´t hardly even go out because of the heatwave that´s been going on in here since yesterday! Every time I complain about the excessive heat to the hubz he would have that `I don´t believe you´ look on his face and tell me that I should´ve have been accustomed to the heat by now because I came from a tropical country. Little did he know that when the heat is on in my tropical lalaland , we hide until the sun sets or use an umbrella if we need to go out under the midday sun, hahaha! And that´s how you avoid most of the wrinkles, my friends. :) Anyway, for this look, I opt to put on a flowy white top and a mini skirt in zebra print. Like always, these are part of my old summer basics. The red open toed sandals are to add some color to the whole outfit. I usually take out this crossbody bag for spring and summer because of it´s light color combination. It´s just how I do bags, light for summer and spring, dark for autumn ...
