Pick of the Day - Medium shoulder bag



Find it HERE


Hey there, dears! 
For those ladies who always wear huge totes and suddenly have the urge to buy a smaller one, I'm having one of those moments. And found the perfect one at Mango. Perfect size and with the chain on the shoulder strap with zipper details. 

Love,
Maria

Neutral Silhouette

Happy Monday, loves!

How was your day? I just started doing my thesis presentation - not that motivated 'cause I'm still sick. The sun is still shinning but it was windy. But hot enough for the legs to come out. I'm so happy that I still have a little of tan from last Summer (so happy!!). Tan makes every pair of legs look super hot, don't you agree? 

This was one of those looks that you open the closet and pull the first piece you see. And since the weather is springish I just knew what I wanted to wear. A neutral outfit, with a basic black blouse, a chunky knit, size L, with an open back, my skorts from eBay - when I bought them I couldn't find any white ones and in my size, so eBay was my best friend! - and my Zara sandals. 
And today we adventured ourselves into the small streets of the historical center of our hometown. It took quite sometime to find a street without any people, or clothes hanging to dry or cars. 

Now, trying to do some work and watch a movie later.

Lots of love,
Maria

65 plus Leather

Happy Saturday, guys!
The weather has been so good these last couple of days, you can smell the Spring everywhere. It just makes everything and everyone much happier. This 20º C (and some days can reach 27ºC, like yesterday) just makes you wanna go to stroll through the city and enjoying the sun. The city looks so much alive with all the people just walking around, sitting at the cafes, enjoying themselves and their company. Ah, I love Spring time! 
This hot weather just asks for sandals and open shoes - not that I don't wear them during Winter. And my beloved black Zara sandals needed a sunbath, and I needed to wear them! So, I decided to combined them with a american football T-shirt I bought on sales - first time wearing it - with my DIY jeans - I have them for quite some time and instead of throwing them away I cut them at ankle size and cut the knees off - my leather jacket and my very much used doctor bag - really need a new one! And my Prada Baroque copy sunglasses - sadly I cannot afford the originals. Casual look for a Saturday afternoon. What do you think, guys?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
Maria

Pink heels from Spring

Hello, dears!
I'm so sorry for the lack of everything here on the blog but since I delivered my thesis last week, I've been so so sick - there's a flu virus going around and I think I caught it. I'm feeling a little better but the cough is just killing me and my head. Still, gotta put some "real" clothes on, get out and just breath the fresh and springish air that is floating around.

After being in quarantine since Monday, today I just needed to get out - and I had to do some errands. Put some make-up, some of my favorites pieces and stroll a little through the city. After a week of no photos and no nothing, we decided to take some. I know it's a similar look to some I did a few weeks ago - click here to see the outfit -, but I just looove those jeans. I cannot get enough of them! And my pink pale heels are making a first appearance on the blog. Great color! 
This is one of my favorite outfit combo. It works perfectly for me in almost every occasion. I combined some boyfriend jeans - trashed by me - with a men's grey t-shirt, a silk blouse, a black blazer - my favorite piece and its so versatile - pink heels, sunglasses and I'm ready to go! 

And finally I can show you my haircut! Went back to the hairstyle I had two Summer's ago. After some crazy experience in shaving it, letting it grow for six months, I just had to come to a sense on what I wanted to look like and focusing on me and how I feel pretty. So, after a brainstorming with myself that lastest almost a week, I just went back to "Frankie Sandford" hairstyle again. Wore that for two years in a row before shaving it and now I'm back with it! Its la beautiful and sexy combo between long and short with a twist. Just my kinda' hair.

Gonna watch a movie while cuddling with my kitty and them start doing my thesis presentation.

Lots of love,
Maria
