Dressing Up For Me

Good morning, everyone! I´m making the most of the cool weather before spring starts here in my city. It´s definitely getting warmer in here although we still get very low temps in the morning and later in the day when  the sun sets. I´m on the ¨green phase¨ ( you know me and my color phases, lol!) right now and tend to  collect favor colors like khaki, olive green and military green. This plaid scarf is my latest addition to my growing collection, oops! I bought this at my local accessories store and got a 20% discount, the perks of being friends with the owner.😻 Everything that I´m wearing are quite old and my favorite stuff to mix and match during the autumn- winter season except for the scarf which is relatively new. As for these olive green booties, I´ve noted that it did not get much attention than it derserved and so I´m wearing it as much as possible nowadays. To tell you the truth though, I´m weaing my walking shoes from Zara more than these ones, h...

Good morning, my luvlies! Eveybody should have a leather jacket. Real or faux, light or thick, brown, black or in any other color it doesn´t matter as long as you have one in your closet. It´s the best option that you could have when you don´t want to wear a bulky coat or puffer jacket and look like the ¨Michelin Man¨ when the temperature drops. Moreover, it drapes nicely on your chair when you sit down for coffee  than say your coat, no? 😏 Coincidentally, I tend to pair my black jacket with red. Black and red looks good together, so it´s either with a red shoes: With a red bag or a red plaid shirt dress: And even with a red skirt which I wore during winter last year! Eveybody should have a leather jacket.   There.. I said it the second time! 😁 Hugs, Che

Good morning! I´ll just make this short because I know everybody´s gong to have a hectic week except me  ( still on vacation mode) . This is a tried and tested combo whenever I travel, a button down and dark pants. No fuss, easy breezy and tried and easy old basics which I´ve had for years. The loafers are from the Coach Outlet in La Roca Villlage in Barcelona, one of my best buys this season. button down - Pimkie, pants - Zara, bag- Misako, loafers- Coach I hope you had a lovely weekend! :) Hugs, Che PS :   Linking up with  Lauren ,  Molly  and Lauren .

Hello, hellooo! So I´ve been gone again, hahaha! I know I´ve been neglecting this little virtual corner for more than a month now(eeps!) but I hope to continue where I left  so much so that the weather´s a little bit better for some outfit posts. My personal life´s still pretty hectic though so if I ´ll miss some outfit posts in the coming days, it means I´m swamped with school work. Anyway, here are some casual pics that we took during my hiatus. First was a plaid, jeans, jacket and Converse conbo while visiting  a small town in Portugal late autumn of last year: I had the pic taken at an old Romanesque bridge in the middle of somewhere with a fantasic bucolic view: The hub z and I were thinking about buying this more than a hundred year old stone house for sale. Nah, it was a joke about buying, we´re 100%  city people although spending summer over this tiny and peaceful village is quite tempting. ;) Over the Christmas break last year, we stopped by Valenci...

Hello, all! No travel photos for you today, instead, here´s a colection of my summer OOTD photos which you might have already seen here in the blog although most of these can be seen in my Instagram account. Have fun browsing through them and yes, I´m a casual dresser. A VERY CASUAL DRESSER, lol! My regular travel posts will continue next week. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I wish you all an exciting weekend ahead. Happy Friday! :) Love, love, Che PS: Linking up with Lauren , Rachel and Lena B , Tara and Megan . Come and link with us! :)

Lovely Friday, dahling s! Just another breezy outfit for you today in gingham and gray. I wore this one afternoon while visiting mother-in-law which later turned into a mini-photo shoot ( with a special appearance of my double chin, lol!) at one of the small parks in the neighborhood. Although I love wearing pastel colors in spring, gray and black will always be favorites of mine all year long. They´re my fall back colors. What are yours? And... these days, I´ve been wearing a lot of black and white stripes too. I might as well do a black and stripes themed week sometime because I´ve noticed that I´ve got a lot of that print in my closet. You´ll see it soon. ;) top and skirt - Zara, bag(old) - Massimo Dutti That´s it for now, my travel stories will continue in my next posts. Gotta run! :) Hugs, Che PS: Linking up with Lena B and Rachel´s Passion for Fashion Friday , Penniless Socialite´s Favorite Fashion Friday , Simple Sequins´ Fashion Item Friday and St...

Halloooo! Another shirt dress for you this Wednesday. I don´t know why but I have an affinity for shirt dresses and they´re usually plaids, hehe . It has a casual-preppy vibe which I so like and so it´s not a coincidence that I wore one last weekend on a day trip to Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz in the south of France. I´ve already featured Biarritz a lot of times here in the blog so I won´t be posting more photos except the one below. It´s the chicest town on this side of France, hands down! I went inside the Longchamp store ( they have Hermès here too)  and the hub z let out a sigh with a ¨Not  another Longchamp, Che!¨ , hahaha! You see, he knows my weakness although I went out empty handed this time. I love my Longchamp le Pliage  because they´re light, foldable and can pack a lot. It´s my go-to travel bag actually aside from my standard totes. What´s yours? My mini- arm party. The most I can wear is three, four or more is too much for my small wr...

Hello, Friday! Last weekend, I had the chance to go to a travel fair held at the BEC in Bilbao. It was cold in the early morning and so I wore layers and debuted my  light gray faux leather jacket and this plaid shirt in blue and blue green, both of which I´m dying to wear but never had the occasion to. I´ve been favoring the preppy look lately maybe because the formula is so simple: printed/plain button down + pants/jeans + light sweater on top and you´re ready in a snap. Just throw in a light jacket and off you go! :) I wasn´t able to take pictures of the city because we´re so busy going from one travel booth to another and sampling cheeses and chorizos in the food section but here are a few shots which I took a few years ago when we went here for a visit to Ikea: the city´s skyline: the Guggenheim and the colorful and cute Puppy ( pronounced poo-pi in Spanish) :  and here´s a dramatic photo of Bilbao´s skyline right before a rainstorm: Her...
