Dressing Up For Me

Hola, holaaa! With the ¨trending¨ hot weather nowadays, wearing a super loose bottom to feel comfy can be quite challenging for a petite girl like me. So I incorporate prints into it like stripes. Aren´t we also glad that pajama dressing is   in? Because these pants look like pajama bottoms and I´m loving it. Truth be told, these are one of my go to pants to wear this summer. They´re just so breezy, light and leg lengthening, don´t you think? I even paired it with flat sandals and they still look good!😄 top- Massimo Dutti, trousers- Pull & Bear, sandals - H&M, bag - Bimba & Lola So what are you wearing these days? Hugs! Che

Hello, hello! If there´s one piece of clothing that should be called the ONE in our closets all throughout the summer season, it´s the little white dress. I mean, duh , it´s a no brainer, right? white dress, denim jacket ( all old)- Zara, shoes - Kickers, bag - Bimba & Lola It doesn´t matter if it´s a mini, midi or maxi, short sleeved or sleeveless. A white dress is a classic, ALWAYS is . 😊 Moreover, it goes well with a denim jacket, in classic blue or even colored  when the temperature drops in the early or during late evening. And speaking of temperature drop, our summer weather is quite abnormal. Although thunderstorms normally come after a few days of consistent high temperature ( not reaching more than 30ºC though), they always convert into a huge hailstorms with lots of wind and super heavy downpour. Bad, really bad. At least we have a lot of cool days too and so I´m not complaining much.  So, do you have a little white dress stashed in your closet ...

Howdy! Do you still mix prints? I still do! top, culottes and shoes- Zara, tote ba g- Mango, necklace - Bimba & Lola, sunglasses - Massimo Dutti Although summer is in full swing right now, there are still days where the temperature drops to  21ºC maximum and so I can get by wearing a light knitted top over anything,; a pair of jeans, skirt or in this case my good ole  cullotes from three seasons ago. I just make sure that the colors/ color motiff blend with each other, in this case, I mix a black and white striped top with a same colored color combo of chevron prints at the bottom and there you go! I stayed with the two-color theme by wearing black Mary Janes and a black tote bag for a more harmonious ensemble but accented it with a shell necklace from Bimba & Lola which was scored from the sales about three years ago. So if like me you also do mix prints, what are the usual color combos you opt for? Have a lovely week ahead, y´all! :) Hugs, ...

Good morning, everyone! :) Let´s bring it out there, I can´t just get over this pair of wide leg jeans/ culottes. Now, we both know that I´m very petite and culottes or  extremely flared bottoms are not quite aesthetically pleasing for a vertically challenged gal  like me but who cares? When you´re a jean fanatic like I am and it´s so hot out there, wouldn´t a flowy pair of denim be the best alternative? ;) This pair came out pretty high-rise and so pairing the right top for it is quite tricky. I´m glad that I still have this old gingham top from three years ago,  et voila , problem solved! I guess it´s time to shop for shorter tops in the sales too. #shopaholicradarison top(old) -Zara, jeans - H&M, bag - Paco Martinez, sandals - Massimo Dutti And you? What´s your fave trend this season? ;) Hugs! Che

Hello, hellooo!!!! I haven´t given you a proper welcome for summer but hey, we´re still in the middle of it, right? ;) Anyway, with the temperature slowly rising by the day and dropping a little during the night, I tend to favor wearing just a plain tees and softly textured jeans. My favorite color nowadays is marigold. Now if that color doesn´t scream summer, I don´t know what does. Well, white of course but you and I know that white is given. ;) top -Uniqlo, jeans - Bershka, bag -Bimba & Lola, mules - Marypaz So what´s your favorite summer color nowadays? ;) See you around! Che

If by chance, you´ve been following my sporadic posts for a number of years, you would´ve known by now that my style choices have changed drastically from too colorful to too plain, hahaha! Don´t get me wrong, I still wear color from time to time although a lot of them doesn´t get documented here for some reason aka  no time to edit and post,oops! Anyhoo, the weather´s still goes loco on this side of the world and while it may already be full pledge summer in your place, we´re still experiencing the four seasons in ours(in a day). So what do I usually bring with me on days like these? A light blazer or to be exact a gingham blazer which I bought from the tail-end of the winter sales late February of this year. It´s light, in a classic monochrome color, long enough to cover my bum and in a discrete print where it doesn´t clash with what I´m wearing. Just the perfect all-around blazer to lug around during spring and early summer actually. blazer - Pull & Bear, kn...

About two weeks ago, a friend of mine invited the hubz and I to her son´s First Holy Communion. Now if you´re catholic and live here in Spain, this is a big  deal. The people here treat it like a mini-wedding and is strictly a family affair. So we´re more than happy that my friend and her family decided to share this special occasion with us together with a couple of common friends. This was what I wore: I´m not a ¨dress-y¨ type of gal, per se. Do shirts/ denim dresses, count? They´re usually what you´ll find inside my wardrobe. 😃😃😃 To be honest, I think I only have  three which I consider real dresses and this one which was a sales find last summer which I didn´t get to wear until now. At first, I considered wearing palazzo pants or my favorite eyelet white dress but I had a problem finding the perfect handbag to go with them. Then, I found this gauzy floral number in light colors at the bottom of my closet, they´re perfect for spring actually! The weather´s c...

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last weekend. Since I opted not to cook at home this year, we went out for lunch on a typical spring day: rainy, windy and with some snippets of sun in between. Ya know the drill. Thinking that we´ll be staying indoors most of the time, I didn´t bother bringing a jacket with me and just put on this thin cardigan over my long sleeved floral top. Ooops, BAD. When we went out of the restaurant, it was raining hard, the wind was wild and the temperature dropped.. a lot.  It´s a miracle that the hub z  was able to take these photos of me on the street as  I shivered my way to our parked car! The car was about 10 kilometers away, just kidding,it´s only about 50 metres away, lol. We got lucky finding a parking space on the crowded street.😁 Despite the cranky weather, our lunch was quite enjoyable. We ate in a Chinese resturant which also serves Japanese cuisine. It wasn´t  fancy but we had our fill of  maki, gyoza and ...

Hello, everyone! It´s been a while, I know.😄 After a couple of months of hiatus(as usual), I finally got to edit some photos for the blog. Everything that I´m wearing here are not new except for the dotted top: I haven´t been catching on with the trends (clotheswise ) this season because I found out that I´ve got most of them all along in my closet (spring cleaning does that) and so I just buy pieces that really catch my eye like this flowy top: The top´s got billowy sleeves which is quite tricky to wear when you have short and chubby arms but hey, you´ve got to think out of the box and make things work in the name of fashion, right? ;) I just made sure that the dots aren´t big enough to drown my petite size and the top loose enough to skim over that muffin top that just keeps on growing by the year. Note to self : You´re not getting any younger Che and so move that tummy butt( a lot) ! lol top - Stradivarius, jeans(old ), bag(old) - Zara, mules(old) - Mary Paz An...

Hi, everyone! How time flies! We´re almost at the end of the 3rd month of 2018 and yet, I¨m still posting photos from 2017(lol!). I got so busy( as usual) and didn´t get to get to edit these photos when the hubz and I went on a weekend trip to Madrid last December. Finally, here are some of the pics taken from the street of El Matadero, a slaughterhouse complex converted into a center for the creation of Contemporary Arts: Before posting some more OOTD pics, can we just take  a moment to admire this ¨mod¨ design of our hotel room? I love the no-fuss minimalist design and pastel color combo which I find so clean and refreshing. The last time we stayed in this hotel was about six to seven years ago and the room deco wasn´t like this at all! With a change of management and some interior renovation, the room turned out like this. I can´t say though if all of the rooms are refurbished like this  ( I´ve only stayed in one) but I´m loving it! The hotel´s name is the Weare Hot...

Hello, everyone! Just passing by to say hi. The weather´s been true winter- y these days and that means, either snow or rain and nothing in-between. So I´ve been wearing a lot of this wool coat with jeans and trainers these days. For those semi-dry days which are like a rarity(hehe), I wear these sock boots from the current sales: Here´s a dresing room selfie of what I was wearing inside my coat, the  sweater is quite old but a keeper. I´m so loving these boot cut jeans that I scored from the Zara sales lately. Although it loos like that they make my legs bigger and shorter ( which they really are, lol!😁) in the pics, they´re very comfy. Also, boot cut and straight leg jeans are perfect with sock boots. I´m so loving this combo! To finish the look, I´m just using another old ( what´s new?) crossbody bag for another no-fuss outift while out and about. coat- Massimo Dutti, jeans- Zara, booties- Stradivarius, bag- Bimba & Lola I first wore the sweater...

Good morning, everyone! Here´s a what I wore look while spending the last days of 2017 in the south of Spain. We escaped to Seville to celebrate NY´s Eve and the first two days of 2018. Gosh, the weather was  a lot warmer in there though we had to wear a jacket in the early morning. Oh well, comparing to the northern part of Spain where we live, the temperature´s definitely twice higher in Seville! So I opted for a spring- y  look while staying there.😊😎 This lime green knitted top (AW17 sale find) never ended up in any of my blog posts whenenver I wear it and so I´m debuting it in the blog today. The jeans were another old winter sale find ( I´m into relaxed fit  these days, aren´t they so comfy?)  and busted out an old bag of mine from two years ago. The shoes were Gucci- esque, a lovely find from Portugal where we had an early autumn/fall trip last year which was actually like, three monhs ago, lol! top- Massimo Dutti, jeans- Mango, shoes- Seaside, ba...

Happy 2018, everyone! gray coa t - H&M Oh yes, I have the perfect explanation why I stopped  posting on the whole month of December. I ran out of pics to post( true story!) and you know, I was traveling and Christmas season was in full swing in my tiny abode and so my barely there blogger life took a back seat.. yet again .🙏😉 Anyhoo, I´m back for now (hehe!) and consider this post a sneak peek of what´s to come ahead. We had a long weekend holiday on the second week of  December here in Spain and so the hubz and I took the time to escape to Catalonia and dropped by Lloret de Mar´s Jardins de Sant Clothilde just to enjoy the quietness of the place. sweater - Zara Kids The garden´s located just up the cliff and down below is a little beach for some private walking, talking or relaxing under the sun. Although the city that I live has a lot of parks and trees, there´s nothing more relaxing than inhaling pure sea air around you It´s quite a chilly day a...
