Dressing Up For Me

 Hello, my loves! Yep, it´s been half a year since I´ve been gone. As usual, real life got in the way with virtual life ( although I wasn´t really very active with virtual life to begin with, oops!) . Anyhoo,   here´s just to give you  a heads up that I´m still alive and kicking and even if I may  be not upgrading the blog with new posts for a very lo ooong time, I´m still on trend with the, uh, trends . 😃 Like for example, the ubiquitous animal print aka  leopard print, I´m still wearing it. Mine though is a jacket from more than two years ago. A print like this never goes out of style and so you better stock on it. Just pair it with a monochrome look and you´re good to go. sweater- Pull & bear, pants- Bershka, shoes- Nike, coat(old)- Mango  As for the snakeskin print,  I experimented on it a few years ago with a dress but this time, I opted for a pair of booties which I got during the Black Friday sales last December. It was one of ...

Hola, holaaa! With the ¨trending¨ hot weather nowadays, wearing a super loose bottom to feel comfy can be quite challenging for a petite girl like me. So I incorporate prints into it like stripes. Aren´t we also glad that pajama dressing is   in? Because these pants look like pajama bottoms and I´m loving it. Truth be told, these are one of my go to pants to wear this summer. They´re just so breezy, light and leg lengthening, don´t you think? I even paired it with flat sandals and they still look good!😄 top- Massimo Dutti, trousers- Pull & Bear, sandals - H&M, bag - Bimba & Lola So what are you wearing these days? Hugs! Che

Howdy! Do you still mix prints? I still do! top, culottes and shoes- Zara, tote ba g- Mango, necklace - Bimba & Lola, sunglasses - Massimo Dutti Although summer is in full swing right now, there are still days where the temperature drops to  21ºC maximum and so I can get by wearing a light knitted top over anything,; a pair of jeans, skirt or in this case my good ole  cullotes from three seasons ago. I just make sure that the colors/ color motiff blend with each other, in this case, I mix a black and white striped top with a same colored color combo of chevron prints at the bottom and there you go! I stayed with the two-color theme by wearing black Mary Janes and a black tote bag for a more harmonious ensemble but accented it with a shell necklace from Bimba & Lola which was scored from the sales about three years ago. So if like me you also do mix prints, what are the usual color combos you opt for? Have a lovely week ahead, y´all! :) Hugs, ...

Good morning, everyone! :) Let´s bring it out there, I can´t just get over this pair of wide leg jeans/ culottes. Now, we both know that I´m very petite and culottes or  extremely flared bottoms are not quite aesthetically pleasing for a vertically challenged gal  like me but who cares? When you´re a jean fanatic like I am and it´s so hot out there, wouldn´t a flowy pair of denim be the best alternative? ;) This pair came out pretty high-rise and so pairing the right top for it is quite tricky. I´m glad that I still have this old gingham top from three years ago,  et voila , problem solved! I guess it´s time to shop for shorter tops in the sales too. #shopaholicradarison top(old) -Zara, jeans - H&M, bag - Paco Martinez, sandals - Massimo Dutti And you? What´s your fave trend this season? ;) Hugs! Che

Happy Wednesday, dears! I´m writing this post with the thick fog hovering outside our window and it´s already noon! Anyway, I just want to share this cute pair of palazzo pants that I got from Zara more than a month ago. If you live in a warm weather country right now, this is the best type of pants to celebrate autumn/fall without freezing and be on trend at the same time! Although the colors, blend well with the vegetation in here, sadly the cloth is quite thin for the chilly weather and so I had to wear clear tights under it. Oooops, TMI, hehe. Nevertheless, it´s quite an eye catching piece because I stood out in a sea of dark plain color outfits when I wore this, hahaha!😁 top and palazzo pants - Zara, shoes - Sfera, crossbody bag(very old )- Zara Have a lovely mid-week ahead!

Hi, there!!!! So I´ve been gone again but this time with a good reason, my travel partner and I took our first summer vacay on the southeastern part of Spain. Will tell you about it once I get the pics up. Anyway, are midis still in? I´ve been wearing this non-stop.While everybody´s in mini and shortie shorts, I´m getting a lot of wear with this midi denim skirt. It´s just so comfy and breezy and most importantly, I don´t have to be conscious of my knickers butt showing when I stoop down to get something on the floor. Ge my drift? As for this neverending summer heat, I pair the skirt with an eyelet top. We need lots of ventilation, darlings to survive the sizzling temperature nowadays! So there goes my look, clean and no fuss just how I like it to be. top and denim skirt - Zara, s hoes and ba g - Massimo Dutti I first wore the eyelet top as part of an all-white ensemble. It loos so fresh, isn´t it? ;) Have  a lovely week! Hugs, Che PS: Linking up with ...

Good morning, luvs! School´s finally done for the year and I´m happy to say that I passed all of the exams too! I consider this as a great achievement on my part because I took the whole course in Spanish ( I didn´t have a choice with the language, hahaha!) . The last time that I went to school was to take my degree in the university and pass the license exams which was more than 20 years ago. So just imagine the tremendous pressure that I was going through the whole year. Anyway, since I´m on a summer break, I can finally go back to one of my favorite pastime, blogging. :) Here´s a short travel post on my trip to the Codorniu Cava Winery in April. For those of you who aren´t familiar with the word ¨cava¨, it´s the Spanish equivalent of France´s champagne. top - Comptoir des Cotonniers, pants - Zara This is my second time to visit a cava winery on the Catalonian region. My first visit was at the Freixenet Cava Winery which you can read here . The Codorniu Cava Winery has a l...

Holaaa! I´m wearing different shades of brown in the blog today. This is called monochromatic dressing and I think I´m becoming an expert at mixing and matching different shades/hues in the same color range. ;) When you´re vertically challenged (like yours trully) , this one color dressing styling tip can elongate the body and also for someone who likes to shop/dress in color phases ( like yours trully, again ), it´s the perfect way to maximize what you have in your closet. It´s like a ¨bring it all out and show them what you have¨ mantra without feeling overdresssed, know what I mean? I know a lot of women who do this with bling but I prefer to do this with clothes, hahaha! Anyway, the only thing that I should´ve have never included in this outfit is the floral necklace. Pardon the fashion faux pas  (yep, that´s French which really means ¨ you missed  this one, girl!  ¨ , lol), I´ve forgotten that my top´s colored neckline doesn´t need much decora...

Hola, hola! There´s nothing to describe about what I wore today. Just the basics, ya know. Blue jeans + white button down + large tote + flats = minimalist. The hub z took these photos in just two clicks. I´m serious! Can´t you see that I only have one pose with my teeth showing and not? Okay, I´m getting loca , enough of this. #whenyouhaven´t got anything towritejuststop button down - H&M, jeans(old) - Zara, tote(old) - Misako I´m loving this minimalist phase of my outfit adventure, no fuss and not crass. Happy me!

Hello, Monday! First, pardon the droopy eyes, I´m on medication for my cough and colds because it got worse. No fever though but waking up with an achy throat in the morning isn´t my version of fun to start the day. So anyway as I was starting to spring clean my closet, I found this printed pants which I wore only once last year. I kinda  forgot about it, hehe. This is what happens when you have a disorganized small closet, you just pile everything on top of the other forgetting about your clothes at the bottom portion. So here´s what I whipped up for today´s Monday Remix: My long forgotten paisley pants and one of my all time fave burgundy sweater in what else, preppy-minimalist style! top -  local store, pants and necklace - Blanco, bag(old) - Zara, shoes - Zendra I first wore the pants last year in late winter: and the burgundy sweater since 2012. This top has travelled with me all around Spain and in Portugal too! ;) ...
