Dressing Up For Me

Hello, everyone! Here´s a lone snippet of what I wore about two weeks ago. The weather´s turn spring- y to an even summery temperature today and so it looks like winter has gone for good. So consider this a fitting farewell outfit to winter 2018-2019. ;) coat- Pull&Bear, jeans- mango, booties- Zara, bag- Zara The tonal look is a huge trend this year and being a vertically challenged girl that I am, I welcome this trend with open and willing arms.😁 FACT: All of the items that I´m wearing are from the current sales except for the booties which I´ve had for two years now. So this look is a win-win situation after all! Have a lovely mid-week, all! Hugs, Che

Hello, peeps! So it´s another week again of nothing but rain in my city, how boring. I would have preferred if it snowed for some landscape change but, nah , it´s rain all the way, girl! On top of that, I got sick last week and wore nothing but pajamas and so this look was the only redeeming factor for the whole week last week: Yep, I got `dressed up´ because I went to do the groceries. If it weren´t for an empty pantry, I can´t be bothered to change into anything. Since I´m a die hard fan of the tonal look ( vertically challenged girl, here), I opted for an all-gray look. I´ve always been partial to gray, it´s one of my go to colors aside from black and blue. A tonal look is quite the easy peasy combo actually, just put your varying shades of color, et voila ! coat - H&M, jeans and shoes - Zara, sweater - &OtherStories, ba g- Bimba&Lola All items from this look are old. I mean, just look at these skinny jeans, it´s like more than four years old. I can´t...

 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 ...

Hi, everyone! How time flies! We´re almost at the end of the 3rd month of 2018 and yet, I¨m still posting photos from 2017(lol!). I got so busy( as usual) and didn´t get to get to edit these photos when the hubz and I went on a weekend trip to Madrid last December. Finally, here are some of the pics taken from the street of El Matadero, a slaughterhouse complex converted into a center for the creation of Contemporary Arts: Before posting some more OOTD pics, can we just take  a moment to admire this ¨mod¨ design of our hotel room? I love the no-fuss minimalist design and pastel color combo which I find so clean and refreshing. The last time we stayed in this hotel was about six to seven years ago and the room deco wasn´t like this at all! With a change of management and some interior renovation, the room turned out like this. I can´t say though if all of the rooms are refurbished like this  ( I´ve only stayed in one) but I´m loving it! The hotel´s name is the Weare Hot...

Hello, everyone! Just passing by to say hi. The weather´s been true winter- y these days and that means, either snow or rain and nothing in-between. So I´ve been wearing a lot of this wool coat with jeans and trainers these days. For those semi-dry days which are like a rarity(hehe), I wear these sock boots from the current sales: Here´s a dresing room selfie of what I was wearing inside my coat, the  sweater is quite old but a keeper. I´m so loving these boot cut jeans that I scored from the Zara sales lately. Although it loos like that they make my legs bigger and shorter ( which they really are, lol!😁) in the pics, they´re very comfy. Also, boot cut and straight leg jeans are perfect with sock boots. I´m so loving this combo! To finish the look, I´m just using another old ( what´s new?) crossbody bag for another no-fuss outift while out and about. coat- Massimo Dutti, jeans- Zara, booties- Stradivarius, bag- Bimba & Lola I first wore the sweater...

Good morning, everyone! Here´s a what I wore look while spending the last days of 2017 in the south of Spain. We escaped to Seville to celebrate NY´s Eve and the first two days of 2018. Gosh, the weather was  a lot warmer in there though we had to wear a jacket in the early morning. Oh well, comparing to the northern part of Spain where we live, the temperature´s definitely twice higher in Seville! So I opted for a spring- y  look while staying there.😊😎 This lime green knitted top (AW17 sale find) never ended up in any of my blog posts whenenver I wear it and so I´m debuting it in the blog today. The jeans were another old winter sale find ( I´m into relaxed fit  these days, aren´t they so comfy?)  and busted out an old bag of mine from two years ago. The shoes were Gucci- esque, a lovely find from Portugal where we had an early autumn/fall trip last year which was actually like, three monhs ago, lol! top- Massimo Dutti, jeans- Mango, shoes- Seaside, ba...

Happy 2018, everyone! gray coa t - H&M Oh yes, I have the perfect explanation why I stopped  posting on the whole month of December. I ran out of pics to post( true story!) and you know, I was traveling and Christmas season was in full swing in my tiny abode and so my barely there blogger life took a back seat.. yet again .🙏😉 Anyhoo, I´m back for now (hehe!) and consider this post a sneak peek of what´s to come ahead. We had a long weekend holiday on the second week of  December here in Spain and so the hubz and I took the time to escape to Catalonia and dropped by Lloret de Mar´s Jardins de Sant Clothilde just to enjoy the quietness of the place. sweater - Zara Kids The garden´s located just up the cliff and down below is a little beach for some private walking, talking or relaxing under the sun. Although the city that I live has a lot of parks and trees, there´s nothing more relaxing than inhaling pure sea air around you It´s quite a chilly day a...

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...

Hola, holaaaa! It´s another Monday my darlings, which means, it´s the start of another week. Time flies so fast indeed and the weather´s getting fantastic every week aka, more sunny days and higher temps. Yey! You all know that the furry coat took center stage aside from the puffer jacket this season, right? I mean they even come in different sizes and colors! The bigger or more furry, better. I´ve always associated fur coats with elegant dressing because with jeans? Uhmm, not really my style. But last weekend, on a lunch day with my girlfriends, everything changed: top and shoes- Zara, jeans- Pull & Bear, bag- Bimba & Lola, coat- vintage fur I finally wore it with jeans and I´m loving it! The hubz was telling me to wear my new leopard coat but in the end, the practical side in me won because it´s a chilly day and our lunch always extends to dinner later. 😸 I can´t believe I´ve had this coat for more than three years but just let it hang in my closet was...

Good morning,everyone! It´s been a month since my last post. I know  and I´ve no excuses this time, hehe.😍 Anyway, you all know that yesterday was Valentines Day. We didn´t go out for dinner because, ya know,  falling in line to get seats in a super  crowded restaurant isn´t our cup of tea. We went to lunch instead near our place. And... cliche of all cliches, yes, I wore red, hahaha! The sun was up and bright yesterday and  the temperature was spring- y. Truth be told, I´m quite fed up of wearing thick sweaters and so I pulled out this Burberry wool sweater from my bottom drawer and a current pair of comfy jeans and voila, V-day outfit solved! I´ve always been wary of wearing boyfriend jeans because they make me look like a sack of potatoes but I think I found the right pair (though it´s still quite loose on the hips) that makes me look alright. Besides, this is a great pair to wear for lunch/ dinner because it´s loose, aka hides the extra bul...

Happy New Year, my darlings! :) The hub z and I decided to escape to sunny Seville, Spain to welcome the year for a change. It was heaven to be able to wear just a light jacket or even a faux fur-lined cardigan (just like what I´m wearing) instead of a thick puffer jacket +  huge scarf combo for a few days. To complement the blue and black color scheme, I used a leopard printed saddle bag which I´ve had since more than a year ago. I´ve gained a few pounds from the pre and post holiday parties which I attended here and there and so dark blue and black were my favorite colors to wear nowadays, hahaha! cardigan - local brand, blue turtle neck - Zara, skinny jeans - H&M, bag(old) - Massimo Dutti, shoe s- Adidas Stan Smith So how´s the first nine days of 2017 been treating you? Freaking cold, I know! Europe´s freezing, for real. Bundle up, people !!! Hugs, Che PS : Linking up with Lindsay.

Hello, helloooo! :) So yeah, in two days, the year 2016 will be now called as ¨last year¨. Strange but true, hahaha! So how´s your 2016 so far? Mine´s been a very busy one, hence, I only had 31 posts ( about 25% of what I usually have excluding the year 2015). Maybe because real life ate a lot of my blogging time, I spent half of this year finishing my course ( I passed with a more than average grade, yey!) but I´m satisfied because I got to travel more although the pics didn´t end up on the blog, lol! As for what I wore, I lived in jeans and tops. Nothing new  although I did try and fell in love with some new trends this year. So here are my top twelve favorite looks of the year: 1. Denim You know me, I´m a denim lover through and through. I may not be a dress type of gal but if it´s in chambray/ denim, I´m all in! I tried the midi denim skirt too which wasn´t bad either. It´s just a question of proportion and what accessories to wear to be able  carry it with my very...

Good morning, dahlings ! I have a soft spot for denim shirt dresses because it reflects my dressing philosophy in life nowadays which is laid back and no fuss aka ¨lazy dressing¨, lol! So if I would have to wear a dress everyday, it should only be denim, right? ;) We had the sun up for almost two weeks and so I was able to wear this shirt dress with a light jacket but then, reality sunk in again and right now we´re back to winter mode. Oh well, at least it´s ending really soon and oh please, please, please, I hope it really does soon. jacket and shirt dress - Stradivarius, bag - Bimba& Lola Here are some of the ways that I styled the jacket and the denim/chambray shirt dress: So... Monday´s here again. What´s the plan this week? Love, love, Che PS : Linking up with Patti, Molly , Lauren and Rhea  and Lauren . Join us!
