Dressing Up For Me

Happy Monday, all!  First, my photo of the day, wearing subdued colors because fall´s finally here although the weather´s still summery. top - Zara, jeans - Pimkie, bag - Blanco Second, I´m starting the week with another Liebster Award from Kendra Genevieve Rose. Thanks, Kendra although I can´t find the link to your blog! 1. What is your guilty pleasure favourite TV show? HOMELAND. I love Carrie and Nicholas´ trust and distrust kind of relationship. It must be really hard sleeping with your so called ¨enemy¨ and yep, I don´t care if  I´m watching it in Spanish and not hearing Damian and Claire´s actual voices when they speak. ;) 2. If you could only wear one colour for the rest of your life, what would the colour be? Black - it´s slimming and because I´m bloated most of the time, lol! 3. What is one song on your iPod your friends would be surprised you have? I don´t have an iPod (surprise, surprise!) but in my phone I have  Vivaldi´s fo...

Many thanks to Verna for the Liebster Award! This is a ¨  super overdue¨ Liebster Award post which I should have done last month but didn´t get to do. Hello, procrastinator! hehehe 1. Favorite piece of clothing? Jeans, I can't live without them and they go with everything too! 2. What designer piece would you like to have right now? A Chanel 2.55 flap bag in classic black. Someday... someday, I´m gonna get yah. ;) 3. Where do you see yourself  5 years from now? Working as a tourist guide in my adoptive city, I hope. :) 4. Do you see yourself blogging in the next 10 years? I'm not really sure but I hope to do so. 5. What is your favorite food? Pasta, hands down! my spaghetti alla puttanesca 6. If you are given a free trip to any part of the world, where would you go and why? If it were not for the security problem, it would be Egypt to see the pyramids. Another option is the Angkor Wat in Cambodia because I love to go to very old places rich with wit...

First, here´s what I wore while having a fun time with friends: I´m seeing and loving red these days. Must be because it´s Christmas. It rubs on you in a very good way. Moreover, all stores at this time of the year (and Valentines Day) sell red. Have you noticed that too? ;) Second, thank you once again to L1 and L2 of A Bit of Our Life for the award! You girls are spoiling me. :) Here are 7 facts about me: I´m very petite. I´m only 5 feet tall! I was a licensed chemist in my country but I worked as a processed meats taster ( among other things) for 12 years. Today, I do the tasting at home and at the local fairs here before we bring home the tasty goods. ;) My favorite color is purple . My childhood girlfriends can attest to that, my wedding guests, my blogosphere friends and maybe you too, my regular blogreader. :) I can´t stand overpowering scents. Perfumes are not for me and so I wear cologne. I´m a hoarder. Seriously. Good thing the hubz helps with the spr...

This scenery has become a permanent fixture from my kitchen window these past days. Foggy and cloudy. Not really postcard material. But last night it finally snowed  lightly  coating the mountains and grass with specks of white. We are lucky here that the snow was light. In the other parts of northern Spain and in the rest of Europe, the weather is a frozen mess. My Uniform:   sweater and jeans - random shop The thickness of the sweater depends on the temperature outside. So judging by what you´re seeing, it´s brrrry cold outside and with just a slight of  blue in the sky. ring - random shop ( too) Which makes it timely to present this award which I received  from the lovely girls of  A Bit of Our Life for giving me this  Sunshine Award . Thank you, girls! Just what I needed to liven me up on these dreary and cold days. Sorry it took me long to post this but I finally found the perfect time to do it, don´t you think? ;) Passing thi...

This is a long overdue thanks to the lovely Sweet of  Confessions of a Drama Queen   for giving me this award: Thanks, Sweet ! ;) With this, I´m supposed to list 10 things that makes me happy. Instead, I´m listing 10 things that I´m loving right now in no particular order. Let´s get the ball rolling, shall we? ;) 1. Chocolate Painted Toenails Perfect for my burnt bronze feet, don´t you think? ;) 2. Japanese Street Style Fashion When looking for inspiration on how to dress up casually, I always go to Style Arena . Tokyo´s major street style fashion site. The Japanese really know their fashion. 3. Daniel Henney He´s an American-Korean famous model and actor. He is FABULOUS, appeared as  Agent Zero in the movie X-Men Origins:Wolverine  and cute in the Korean bilingual movie Seducing Mr. Perfect . You can watch the trailer here . He´s my no. 2 crush, the hubz comes 1st of course. ;) 4. Unakite Nec...

Halooo! It´s still a very sunny Wednesday here. Looks like summer isn´t going anywhere soon. ;) top - Mango (summer sales 2010) I know that I´m quite behind the mix prints trend but since I don´t always follow the trends, I´m sharing with you my version just now. Better late than never, no? They say that one of the best ways to rock this trend is to use the same color combination. So I came up with an olive green/brown see-thru top which I´ve already worn here and a pair of floral capri pants. Et voila! So wat d´yah tenk? :) capri floral pants - thrifted I think that pair of clogs helped too! I promised not buy anymore shoes, moreso clogs but at 50% off  my self-restraint broke. hahaha! I know, I´m not the only one who does this when it comes to shoes.Like what they always say, a girl can never have too many shoes. ;) shoes - Blanco ( summer sales 2010) The problem right now is how to break this pair for a longer time. Just after 15 mins. of we...

First and foremost, I´m thanking Vicen for giving me the Look 10 award last Monday. ¡Muchas gracias, Vicen! :) AND... to the lovely Anita of  Joy and Amore for passing Sweet Little Teddy to me.

As the hubz would say, Thank you s ! :) And now let´s continue with the blogging journey. Here´s to meeting more new friends who share our love for budget fashion and dressing up in the blogosphere! :) xoxo, Che
