Dressing Up For Me

Hi, everyone! I´m still here. ;) Second day of my Italian trip was at the Vatican. Part of the day´s itinerary was a visit to the famous Sistine Chapel and so no above the knee skirts nor shorts nor spaghetti/tube tops ( unless you´ll also wear a shawl )   for me inspite of the extremely hot weather in Rome. Madre mía, it´s boiling out there! By the way, I painted my nails burgundy. I never thought it matches well with my raspberry colored bag and it´s also autumn 2012´s color too. If you want to be trendy but don´t want to spend a lot, I suggest you  start with nail color because it´s quite expensive to be IN all the time! So this was what I wore and I´m glad I did because my legs and arms didn´t get sunburned for one day. Can´t help but take a photo of the Swiss guards. They´re like the Vatican version of the Buckingham Palace guards sans the ¨guard changing fanfare¨   done by the British. ;) Leaving you with  a blooper photo with this metallic...

I predict this color will be HOT for summer. It´s also my fave. ;) And a real plum too. lol! I´m not really a fan of this fruit but it´s got a lot of fiber and is good for digestion and so I eat it once in a while. ;) Latly, here´s a photo of some of my  accessories in different shades of  plum/purpleto show you that I´m really serious with this color: So what´s your predicted summer color? ;) xoxo, Che

Let´s do nails today because I just got myself a pedicure. I rarely paint my fingernails ( Hello, neverending house chores!) but I do paint my toenails because I usually wear sandals, flip flops or open toed shoes on those very hot days. So I make sure that my toenails are clean and painted most of the time. FYI ( as if you didn´t know, hehe!) our feet needs  pampering too and yes, some breathing space so it can relax and that includes your toenails! :)  I don´t know what´s this color called but it looks like teal so teal it is . :) I bought it from a newly opened Italian cosmetics store here called Kiko Make Up Milano which has pocket friendly prices for a budget conscious gal like me. For a 30 ml (0.37 fl oz)  bottle, it only cost me 2.50 euros, double way much cheaper than say buying a bottle in Sephora or Chanel! I used two coatings and topped it with a glos...

Uh-oh, looks like summer came too early in my city. It´s too hot to wear a light cardigan/jacket or even closed shoes! So it´s time say hello to those summer sandals hibernating in our closets and take them out for a walk. But before that, be sure to pamper your feet first. By that, I mean painting your nails aside from putting on your moisturizing lotion because come on, pretty nails do make pretty feet, no? ;) My first time to wear red. I usually go for pink, peach, brown or blue but never red. I don´t know... it´s just that red for me is a very strong and mature color but after seeing this shade on my toes, I´m kinda liking it. ;) Red for spring? Yes, yes, yes! What do you think? So what color are your nails wearing this spring? ;) Un besito! Che
