Timeless Piece

First worn in November of 2008 for a friend´s wedding in the Philippines, this stripe dress has been gracing my closet and several events since then. Can you remember this post when I used it as a skirt? It´s just one of those pieces I could not dispose. Love how it hugs my bod, timeless design and color, and a type of fabric that does not get old - this dress is everything.

Primeiro usado em novembro de 2008 para o casamento de um amigo nas Filipinas, Este vestido listrado enfeitando meu armário e vários eventos desde então. Você consegue se lembrar este post quando eu usei-o como uma saia? É apenas uma dessas peças não poderia dispor. Amar como ele abraça o meu corpo, cor e estilo eterno, e um tipo de tecido que não envelhece - esse vestido é tudo.

Mixing Prints

Donned mixed prints for a saturday night date with my hubby. A polka dot marine-coloured scarf  from a vintage shop in the Philippines was paired with a Zara stripe top. Contrary to a striking wardrobe which can be achieved by additional print re floral, I chose to wear plain black jacket thus keeping it basic. The night was celebrated in an italian festival followed by an unplanned movie treat.

Spring Basics - Zara May 2011 Lookbook

My picks from Zara May 2011 Lookbook. Spring basics. Wearable collection. Classic pieces in the closet that you can just pick-up and go.

Flare

Diesel Pants, Zara Shirt, U2 Jacket Dumond Wedge

Just like college days (hhhmmmm...a decade ago) I´m back to wearing flare jeans. For quite a time I´ve been looking for a jeans that could fit me well.  Finally found one. Bonus. It´s flare. So if feels like the carefree days at the school when all I care about was how to pass accounting subjects. Back then, I would use rubber shoes with flare jeans. The most comfy option  when you know you would just be running to different classroms. Cecilia does no running anymore so is the preference of wedge over rubber shoes. Not only that. She is no longer that grade conscious student but rather a grown up who wants to add glam to every look she wears.

my hair is getting so long and i´ve got no plan of trimming it soon...should I?

Zara April 2011

One thing that caught me in Zara´s April Lookbook is this grey shirt. You can use it in creating lots of ensemble. Knowing Zara, it´s no costly at all. A must-buy....
