Dressing Up For Me

Holaaa! Here´s another jean and top combo which I´m sharing with you today. Although my go-to colors for summer are usually white and  anything light, once in a while I reach out for something bold and vivid in my closet like this two-year old Sandro top that I´m wearing. I collect Sandro pieces especially their tops because they´re one of a kind. This blue clutch was an old sale find from Mango ago few years ago. I stopped buying clutches when I went back to school two years ago which is okay beacsue I´ve amassed quite  a number already and besides I got hooked on crossbody bags which are much more in synch with my lifestyle. Although I love clutches and still use them, I prefer crossbody bags because of their hands-free ¨feature¨ when you need to grab something with your hands. Get my drift? ;) top - Sandro, jeans and flats - Zara, clutch - Mango I first wore this top on a trip to the Palace of Aranjuez in Madrid. You can´t find the palace in the city of ...

Good morning, dahlings ! I´m still in the middle of my road trip looking for volcanoes ( don´t worry, they´re extinct) and old monasteries in the middle of nowhere. :) In the meantime, here´s a train outfit which I´m showing you today when we went to the eastern part of Spain two weeks ago: Our trip consisted of three train rides from my place --> Madrid -->Valencia --> Castellón de la Plana( final destination) and so a comfortable outfit is a MUST to survive the three train transfers plus a mini bus ride to the other terminal in Valencia, Spain. I also ¨broke in¨   this red leather handbag which I bought in the La Roza Village  Outlet in Madrid a month ago. I´m loyal to Spanish brands ( maybe beacuse I live in Spain and they´re accessible to where I live) and when I satrt collecting I just can´t stop. It´s sad to say though that Bimba y Lola, stopped using the greyhound logo and so this bag is an ode to the old logo of the brand which I so loved dearly. ...

Hello, hello! And I was gone again without saying goodbye, sowiiii ! ;) top - Zara, skirt - New Yorker, sandals - Foreva, bag -Longchamp It´s vacation month for the hub z and so we went on a long weekend trip to the western part of Spain, Galicia. We stayed at Santiago (St. James) de Compostela and from there we visited the other provinces as well. Please watch out for more Galician stories soon. In the meantime, here´s what I wore on the 2nd day of the trip: I saw this green shirt on the winter sales at the beginning of this year but kept it until I found the perfect skirt and sandals for it. So there goes my casual summer mili look, do you dig the military style? And hey, my outfit matches with the one of the art exhibits at the Galician Center for Contemporay Art so I had to have my photo taken with it. :) So where have you been these days? It´s a Wednesday, I´m linking up with Style Elixir´s Style Sessions , Kiwi Women Style´s Wardrobe Wednesday  ...

Just before the summer ends, let me share with you the 3 things that I´m loving these days. 1. A Cheese and Fruit Platter Summer is hot. When it´s so hot I don´t usually eat but I feel thirsty. So instead of drinking fizzy drinks why not go natural with fruits? A little cheese which is rich in calcium is also good for your bones. And if you feel just a tad classy, pair it with a galss of white wine. I know alcohol isn´t good for the skin and dehydrates the body but indulging on it once in a while doesn´t hurt much. ;) 2. Miranda Kerr´s Chic Casual Look Dimples, killer bod, mile long legs, Orlando Bloom( hehe!) and her sense of fashion. So what´s not to love about Miranda Kerr? I´ve tried the plaid shirt dress and leather jacket look but I haven´t tried yet the stripe shirt dress and blazer ensemble that she´s wearing. Hmmm, does that mean that I´d be buying a stripe shirt dress soon? ;)   photo and story source Of course, pairing it a classi...

I haven´t worn this color combination yet: Bright purple and gray. The combination looks good, no? Never mind that Kate´s legs look so bony and that she has gone a little overboard with her foundation . If you´re a regular reader of this blog, you´d know by now that my favorite color is purple. I might consider copying this color combo, using high street brands that is because I´m not rich.  hehe! ;)    Story and photo source here . So what do you think of this look and combiantion? Did Kate rock it? Spill your thoughts, ladies! ;) Che

Haloooo! I wouldn´t be posting my NYE menu here because I know that food is the last thing on your mind right now after all those days of bingeing. So here goes my NYE outfit: Yup, I wore dots and lots of circles! The same goes for my ring with these colorful round stones. Got tired of wearing tights and so I just put on a pair of brown socks for my clogs. Problem solved! hahaha As a New Year´s Eve Filipino tradition, I wore dots. Circles mean unending good luck and more money (I fervently hope so). Then the hubz and I gobbled 12 grapes just before midnight as part of the Spanish tradition. A mix of east and west? Sounds good to me. ;) So what did you do to invite Lady Luck your way? I didn´t make noise, nor jump, nor collect and jingled lots of coins but I did dance (because I was tipsy). ;) Here´s me goofing around just before setting the table. The chairs are still.. ah .. covered. hihihi May this year bring us prosper...

source Hi, everyone! Sorry for not updating sooner. We´re in the process of moving things from one flat to another and it´s quite time consuming and energy draining but it´s okay because I´m losing weight or so I thought. hehe!  Moreover,we don´t have internet access yet on the new flat so I can´t update as much as I´d like to. Anyway, I found this photo of Keira Knightley about 2 weeks ago during the photocall of her movie  Never Let Me Go in London and I fell in love with the silky handkerchief skirt that she wore. The not so nice thing about this skirt though is that it looks like it´s haphazardly cut. Well, maybe because the designer wanted to make the skirt raw and edgy because the cloth has a pretty print and color. I do find the whole look adorable. She paired it with a lacey camel top and brown Louboutin heels. I find her outfit classy and prim although the critics did say that it´s boring and unfin...
