WIWW: B/W Stripes and Red( part 2)

Happy Wednesday, peeps!

2014-08-03 13.15.45

I can´t resist a chic black and white combination especially if with stripes. My default top is always this loose top with a long neck (which I DYIed by cutting it)and pair it with either black or white.

Since it´s summer, I wore a white jacquard skirt with it and finished off with a beautifully structured clutch from the last winter sales which cost me less than 10 euros. Great deal on the clutch, huh! ;)

I´m posing below a stone canopy of  an artificial dolmen built near an ancient sanctuary in the mountains. I love this place because it´s so peaceful and photogenic too. ;)

It´s fiesta week in the city where I live and so my summer´s been busy so far. People watching and street dancing in the afternoons, fireworks watching in the evenings and non-stop eating in-between. Life is good!

So what are you doing this summer? Have a fun mid-week! :)

Love and lotsa hugs,

Che

Love your outfit, as always ... you're kind of a role model for me because I admire your choices ( of course, I have to adopt them to my advanced age sometimes!) and like your thinking!
Pretty white skirt! And here's another lesson on how cool a striped top looks with practically anything!
And I always want to see which clutch you are carrying! LOVE this one.

Oh what an adorable ensemble. I love it. I love how you take simple and punch it up with a bold color item or two. I loved the thing about oysters. I have never had them, can't bring myself them but I have heard they are wonderful. Maybe some day, but for sure not during chemo. The object of chemo is to not barf! lol ♥

Monday Remix: Winter White and Teal

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...
