Dressing Up For Me

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. Naturally, I had to wear red to celebrate it! ;) If you ´ve been noticing my outfit choices lately, they´re becoming simpler bordering on being minimalist. It´s just the way I am because I´m a lazy dresser, lol! The less fuss, the better. If I want to dress up a basic outfit, I just wear eye-catching accessories and that´s it. This pleated skirt is another lucky find at the winter sales. I love it´s puffy design which gives you an instant hour glass figure while hiding your muffin top. Isn´t that cool? ;) I wore this outfit to celebrate my birthday lunch with the hubz. I usually celebrate my birthday by inviting friends over to our flat and I cook for them. This year, I opted out. I got sick and it´s quite embarrassing to offer your friends something to eat when you´re coughing every five seconds. ;) skirt , necklace and heels - Zara, top - El Corte Inglés, clutch(old) - Blanco I´m still on vacay but I hope to visit your bl...

Happy 3 Kings, all! As I´ve always been telling you every January 6 of every year since I started blogging, the feast of the 3 Kings is HUGE here in Spain.

The kids and the not so kids usually bring out their shoes near the window and the following day wake up with gifts  placed on the side of their shoes. Isn´t that nice? ;) I guess, I did something really good last year because I got this as a gift, a pair of croc-suede leather moss green booties and some cash for some sale shopping this week. ;) The celebration is never complete without a slice or two of rosco de Reyes for dessert, I just had two servings. Burp! And... here´s a sneak peak of what´s to come on WIWW, I´ve dug out my gingham monochrome skirt and remixed it. :) I always treat this skirt as a base of any look because of it´s neutral colors. Paring it with a bright color and a few accessories always create a new outfit even if I´m wearing the same ...

So the weeklong festivities in here ended today. I didn´t go out much to celebrate the fiesta but a well celebrated one is never complete without: Lots of colorful balloons for the kiddies and not so kiddies Food--- another reason to ditch the diet  temporarily ;) An odd man walking on the street offering a lot of things for a little something  Lots of things for the fashionista like these hand knitted shawls Handmade espadrilles and color blocked leather bracelets/bangles Spectacular entertainment---  African music at it´s best and fabulous street art --- freshly made. Later during dinner with friends, I wore this:  It was a cold rainy evening and so I opted to wear my go-to  jeans and a thick top and debuted my blue bowed flats which I thrifted last year. top - Vero Moda ( 1st worn here), jeans - Zara, shoes - vintage To cap the night, the hubz and I watched the fireworks from our bedroom window.
