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

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...

Nautical and Taupe

Hello, I´m still here! I know it´s been four days since my last post. ;) Real life´s been hectic lately and so I had to let go of  my blog life for a couple of days to attend to some urgent personal  matters. Anywa yz ,I´m back and wearing stripes! Since stripes looks good with sea, I´m sharing two photo snippets of Biarritz´s beaches in between my outfit photos. While almost everyone usually pair blue stripes with red or white I went for something different like taupe. Taupe is my new gray and I´m loving it! You should try it too. :) So why beach photos of Biarritz? It has one of the best beaches on this side of the world, it´s in France ( in the south actually)  and the place is chic ¨super magnified¨ !  As to my outfit, I´m finishing the look with a blush colored leather jacket and then I´m off for my afternoon walk later. I hope this looks chic enough. ;) ( top - Zara, pants - Pimkie, leather jacket - thrifted, flats, clutch - local...

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...
