Dressing Up For Me

If by chance, you´ve been following my sporadic posts for a number of years, you would´ve known by now that my style choices have changed drastically from too colorful to too plain, hahaha! Don´t get me wrong, I still wear color from time to time although a lot of them doesn´t get documented here for some reason aka  no time to edit and post,oops! Anyhoo, the weather´s still goes loco on this side of the world and while it may already be full pledge summer in your place, we´re still experiencing the four seasons in ours(in a day). So what do I usually bring with me on days like these? A light blazer or to be exact a gingham blazer which I bought from the tail-end of the winter sales late February of this year. It´s light, in a classic monochrome color, long enough to cover my bum and in a discrete print where it doesn´t clash with what I´m wearing. Just the perfect all-around blazer to lug around during spring and early summer actually. blazer - Pull & Bear, kn...

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...

Hi, all! I hope you still remember me. ;) Just checking in to say hello. I can´t stay for long though and maybe will be gone again. Just wanted to know that I´ve missed all of you and your blogs. Anyway, just before winter sets in, here´s my fall unfiorm: top(old )- Pimke, sweater and jeans(old) - Zara, booties - local store, clutch - Mr. Joe A preppy mix of jeans, flat boots, a plaid/ plain button down and a sweater whose thickness depends on the average temperature outside. I live on this outfit the whole season especially now that I´m back at school. It´s comfortable, quite simple and not over the top for school. The perfect uniform for a no-fuss gal like me! And here are some of the ways I´ve worn the gray sweater since two years ago:                  winter 2014                                             ...

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! :)

Good morning,  my luvs ! I´m wearing denim and silk in the blog today. Although I have my fair share of skirt wearing days, my fall back casual chic look would always be denim, a delicate top and heels. They always work for me and I´m sure for you too! I scored this seafoam green colored mulberry silk top from the summer sales. I tend to hoard tops like this during the sales season because they´re discounted compared to buying them at a regular price during regular season. You may not know this but light silk shirts are perfect to wear during summer because of it´s  breathable texture. Another sale find is this starfish necklace which was hot about two years ago. You know that I´m matchy-matchy and so I paired the necklace with the top to go with my sea- inspired theme, lol! Oh and the candy striped woven clutch/bag(it has an attached chain) is another sale find too from one of my favorite inexpensive accessories and bags store, Suite Blanco. I was sad when both...

Happy Monday, dahlings ! I´m still on a road trip but I´ll be with you soon to visit your blogs. This was what I wore last week when the weather decided to cool down a bit. Thank God for that because it´s been really hot for days and suffocating. Everybiody here needed a little cooling. ;) Like always, preppy dressing is my default no-fuss dressing formula when I´m in ahurry to go out. So this time, it´s the pink buttondown and black pants turn with my oldest pair of denim jacket to finish the whole look. And with this I got to go around doing my usual buisiness for the day like visiting Mom-in-law, doing the grocery, etc. and much later, a delicious lunch with the hubz in out¡r favorite restaurant/bakeshop. Well done, preppy look, well done! ;) top - Mango, pants - Zara, shoes - Massimo Duti, bag - Bimba&Lola I first wore the pink buttondown in my usual blue jeans but with blue shoes and a leopard clutch: So how did your weekend go? Hugs! Che ...

Hello, hellooo! I´m on a jeans and button down phase these days, pardon the style rut. Talking about buton downs, my favorite go-to lately is this chambray dotted top which I´ve had for two years now. :) I´ve styled this top three ways but always with pants. Let´s see how it goes next but for this post I paired it with blue jeans, a caramel colored crossbody bag and leopard flats to make the whole look more interesting. I might be wearing the same jeans and top over and over again but changing your bag, shoes and other accessories definitely creates a new outfit. Right, no? ;) top(old)- Blanco Suite, jeans(old)- Zara, bag(on sale here ) ,- Bimba&Lola, flats- Primark I´ve styled the dotted top a la preppy in gray and silver with white pants, colorblocked it with yellow pants and fuchsia colored flats and.. made it more dressier with a short tweed jacket, heels, gold necklace and a metallic clutch. Do you have a favorite button/chambray top that ...
