Dressing Up For Me

Good morning darlings! Today I want to share with you one of my looks while travelling in Portugal last weekend. Portugal´s weather was sunny and warm, more like summery actually so I got away with wearing light textured clothes during my stay there. I´ve been meaning to wear this palazzo pants which I bought during the tail end of summer but didn´t find the occasion to wear it.  Finally I did it during the trip. :) Sorry ladies you can´t find this anymore in Zara although you can find a houndstooth and thicker version here . The desciption says checkered but I think it´s houndstooth. ;) I wore this on our second day in Viseu while visiting the cathedral. Here are some shots that we took while at at the cloister: and then to end the day we visited the castle ruins of one of the towns here. Portugal is replete with old castles or what was left of them. Usually it was an old part of the walls or the towers although some of them are intact. Nevertheless, it´s fun getting...

Hellooo! So this was me making the most of the last days of the summer sun and weather last week. Chilly weather started officially today. Although I´m favoring solid colored prints lately as a way of simplifying my wardrobe, I can never let go of floral prints especially with a gray background. If you happen to like wearing florals during fall, go for dark prints or in fall colors like burgundy and mustard. Gray too is my go to neutral shade aside from the ubiquitous black. I first wore this top here , wearing dark jeans but with a mustard colored cardigan. I changed the cardigan with the bag but with the same mustard color. top, pants, sandals ( all old)- Zara, tote bag - Furla So do you like wearing florals and gray during fall/autumn too? Hugs! Che

Heeeey! I´m back on the road again because we´re having a long weekend here.I know this might be a little late to talk about travel outfits but what´s your go- to look when traveling? When I travel by plane, I usually opt for denim pants, a flowy top and a cardigan/ jacket/ scarf depending on the season while on train or inside the car on a very hot summer day, I go for this look: Yep, in my lounging pants, hahaha! I´m not actually a legging type of girl --- I don´t do athleisure very well but I can go slouchy pants all day given how soft the cloth is and where your legs really breathe and not sweat. I wore this while on the train from Cartagena going to Barcelona. Since we´ll be traveling by train the whole day, I figured that wearing something loose and light is necesssary when on your sit all day with very little leg room. top - Zara, pants - Bershka, shoes - Massimo Dutti, tote bag - Michael Kors So what´s your go- to travel outfit? Hugs, Che

Good morning, luvs! I´m on an anything leopard mode lately and so pardon if my next posts will be about this classic print. I say classic because this print never goes out of style, it´s just the color and the shade that varies season after season but spots are a keeper. So come on and keep one in your closet. I assure it´s worth it! top and necklace - Zara, skirt(old) - Stradivarius, bag - Bimba & Lola This is an old skirt and I wore this outfit last Sunday. The weather was chilly in the early morning, hence, the light blue denim jacket. I´ve noted that light denim jackets are still on trend this season and so I continue to ab use this until the season ends. No reason to buy anything new unless you want those patched ones. ;) Have a lovely Wednesday! Hugs, Che PS: linking up with Lindsay , Rachel , Lauren , Victoria, Allison , Sydney . Join us!

Hola, holaaa! Wasn´t it just the other day that I was commenting about transitional pieces to wear here in the blog? Suddenly, we´re aready in the middle of the week. How time flies! Anyway, here´s what I wore last weekend while visiting the neighboring city of Logroño, the capital of La Rioja region: The original plan was to take some photos of the tradional ¨ pisado de uvas ¨ or grape treading to start the annual harvest for 2016 but the plan bombed because we got lost looking for a place to park and when we arrived at the palza, the place was jampacked already. So we headed back to one of the famous wineries instead and took some photos. This awesome corrugated structure is called Bodegas Ysios, a fine artwork and winery designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. It´s located in the town of Laguardia in the La Rioja- Alavesa region of Spain. I had the chance to visit this winery which included wine tasting by the way late autumn of last year but wasn´t ...

Happy Monday, dears! Today is the 4th day of fall or autumn here in Europe and while the temperature may be dropping by the day in your side of the world, we´re still having warm sunny days in here. Since it´s still a bit early to dress for the cold season, here are some basic transition pieces that I ´d like to talk about when it comes to fall dressing: 1.  denim  jacket - I have two shades of denim jackets, a lighter wash for spring and a darker wash for fall  because it photographs well with the brownish red color of the leaves,hahaha! W hatever wash it is , a denim jacket will always be a classic transition piece in anyone ´s closet. 2. animal prints - leopard is back on trend this season but hey, the more varied your animal print collection is the better and more choices you have to mix and match! Aside from a zebra and leopard printed top, I also have this cheetah printed short sleeved top which has become a closet staple of mine during fall and even du...

Good morning, everyone! I´m slowly transitioning my wardrobe to fall. Although the weather´s still warm for some serious jacket wearing, my tops´ colors are getting darker everyday. ;) I´m wearing nothing new for this casual look because there´s nothing new with what they´re selling in the stores right now. Even the color trends for fall 2016 can be found right inside your closet: maroon/ burgundy, teal blue, red, mustard, emerald/dark green and the ubiquitous white which I´m sure we all have in our closets the whole year round. So stop, think and look inside our closets before doing the yearly fall shopping, shall we? ;) top - Promod, jeans - Blanco Suite, clutch and loafers - Massimo Dutti Have a lovely week ahead, you all! :) Hugs, Che PS: Linking with Molly , Lauren, Rachel, Patti and Allison.
