Do you know what I really hate about this weather? I’m never sure what shoes to wear. If I wear flats and it rains, ruined. Plus a cold – not good. If I wear boots because it might rain, then the whole thing spins out of control: UGGS? What if it gets really warm?? Leather boots? Again: rain will ruin them. Rain boots? Ridiculous unless it definitely rains. “Best” part is, it’s grey, and gloomy, and cloudy, and it’s drizzling. Why the hell is it drizzling? No I am not a neurotic freak, it’s been drizzling for 2 whole weeks. If it’s going to rain, rain. If it isn’t, then stop it. Honestly. In any case I was going to wear pink. I got this really cure all-shades-of-pink manicure and I felt like a matching outfit. But with this depressing weather I soon changed my mind into something more weather-appropriate. That and the fact that my eye caught a zebra print ribbon peaking from my ribbon box on the way to the shower and my mind was made up: zebra day. You see, in my books, zebra goes with denim jacket. It’s just the way it goes, I guess. And you cannot, must not, please don’t ever, wear denim jacket with jeans. I don’t care how different the two blues are. You just don’t do it. It’s like social suicide. So Denim jacket means black trousers. Washed and worn but you get it, right? So I had the basics, but still no zebra. Shoes: zebra flats, that was easy. I got the cutest pair at H&M a couple of years back and I never really wear them much… hmmm… note to self, must wear more animal print before it goes out of style again. Now, I need a top. Of course a denim jacket would do the trick, but I am neither Lindsay Lohan nor a nudist, so I went over to my white tops and selected a white lace tee from Forever21 which always makes my outfit just that bit more fashionable. Finally, accessories. What’s an outfit without them? Almost automatically I rumbled through my scarfs until I found this cute little piece I bought in NY first time around which is kind of I-GO-WITH-THE-DENIM-JACKET- IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN… A zebra handbag was just too much, I thought, so instead I grabbed a white and black shoulder bag I picked up at Charming Charlie (a must go discovery, if you want my advice), some sunglasses (for all that sun, right?) and off I went, table shopping. Might show them to you one day, totally gorgeous!!

Bogotá

Good morning bloggers and a warm welcome back to me, for realizing no matter how hectic my life can be at times, you always need to find time for yourself. Good news is, I’m almost done with college. It’s a bit sad that it’s all over soon, but hey, better things will come, right?

I had a tiny WHAT-AM-I-GOING-TO-WEAR crisis this morning basically ‘cos my cardi rack came tumbling down and I don’t have the strength or energy to put it back together so I sat there in my tiny, walk-in closet and sulked. I seriously felt like ripped jeans and trainers. However, I got myself together and walked over to my shoe closet. I opened it, and as usual, I could hear the hallelujah chorus – there they were: my Gucci flats staring at me in shining light. I must confess that whenever I have wardrobe issues, I pick out my shoes first, and then the rest just falls into place. So I grabbed the shoes, put them on just to be sure and they fit like a glove! Pair of jeans, white tee (never fails in a wardrobe crisis shenanigan) and that was that. I was actually looking for a washed-up, blue military skirt I can’t remember where I put when I came across some of my mum’s old scarves. She handed them down to me and I just sort of stuffed them in the no-man’s drawer, for safe keeping, of course. I spotted one as I was rumbling through the mess and it was perfect! It’s the-same-brown-as-my-shoes brown with blue stripes, and nothing goes better with a brown and blue stripped scarf than my cerulean Michael Kors bag that my hubby gave me for Christmas! So exciting, and of course, I have the leather jacket to match the shoes, so… Hair in a laid back ponytail, some perfume (Chanel never fails), my leather jacket and I’m off to lunch at my parent’s house. Turuluuu!!

I'm back... and I'm sorry...

Location: Bogotá, Colombia

Weather: As cold as it can get

Mood: Regretful...

I have a cold. Like the WORST cold ever. But that's not what I want to start off by saying. What I really want to say, is sorry. Sorry I kind of just disappeared like that. I feel awful... (literally..) But no, really... I was all just starting to get to me. The new baby, the proposal (OMG I still can't believe I'm engaged!!!), the whole searching for an apartment, I don't know, it was getting to be too much, I was leaving home really early, coming home really late, I had NO time for me, or you, or my blog, so I just kind of quit... And now I have a cold. And how is that relevant? Well, when I was a little girl, at school, me teachers used to tell my parents that I would always start off new projects really well and then kind of abandon them half way... and that's exactly what I did with my blog. And I talked to B tons of times about writing a closure entry explaining that I was under a lot of pressure and that I would eventually be back, but then I didn't, and these last 2 days that I've just been lying in bed sulking and watching desperate housewives...well, it's got me thinking about how I should really get my lazy ass off the bed and write again... I'm not going to promise I'm goign to blog every day before I leave home, because trust me, I won't, but I will try to blog 2 to 3 times a week, preferably in the mornings, and I don't know, I miss sharing about my life and now that it's almost Christmas and all.. well, I want to share the Christmas joy with all, pls, I have a NOVENA coming up and I'm going to wear my cutest Christmas t-shirt that I bought in Orlando and... And anyway... Fashion is my life, and I can't just let my projects go down the drain, right? So, I'm back, and again, I'm sorry... BTW, You do NOT need to know that I'm in my PJ's. BACI! xoxo -Rx.

Weather: Cloudy
Mood: Head throubbing... very happy... sleeepyyy...

I has about the WORST migrane last night... I swear, I wanted to rip my head off. And trust me, I had NO plands of leaving the comfort of my home... But then B called, that his sister was giving birth today and I was up and running.  We babysitted his niece, and furute to be, mine too, and at around 7 pm, little baby Andrea was born. She's really tiny and she needs a lot of special care, but with the help from God and all the nurses and doctors, she'll be fine and big and strong in no time. Anyway, I'm absolutely estatic about the news, but of course, in no mood for clothes, so I pulled on some sweatpants and off I went! And now, after showing my true commitment to my blog, it's difinitely bed time. Na-night! -Rx.

I am, so, so, so, so, SO sorry for my absence, this last weeks have been absolutely mad... MAD I TELL YOU... My bf's sister is in the hospital, my mum broke her back (nothing terrible, don't worry, she's fine, but still), dad's out of town, everything does everything wrong! UGH. Still, nothing can ruin my day, because as you probably recall, I've been really happy and not told you why... Well, I just wanted all my friends to hear it from me first before I told the rest of you, but... I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B proposed!!!!!! I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!!! I am the HAPPIEST person IN the world!!! OMG, it still hasn't quite sunk in. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Sorry. I'm just really excited and I love telling people. It was like my happiest day, IN MY LIFE. I mean it was sooo perfect. Anyway, as you can imagine, I have tons to do. The big day is May 12, but you cannot imagine everything there is to do planning wise. It's crazy! Anyway, today, for example, I'm going to visit two card shops to check them out. Next week, appointment with the cake person, Saturday I'm trying out dresses (just for the fun of it, becuase actually, I already have mine all planned out) and all my friends are going and it's going to be amazing. It would be perfect it D, my bff, was here, and I'm soooooooooo sad she's not, becuase well, she's my VBFF, but she's with me in heart, and I'll just bb pictures to her and it'll be fine. Anyway, for now I need to get some food in my stomach and leave before it starts to pour down with rain. Love ya all! -Rx.

Weather: Sunny

Mood: I'm so happy I might busrt into tiny pink and red hearts

You have NO idea how happy I am, and how happy I've been since Saturday night. Let me just tell you, fairytales don't only happen in books and in a alnd far, far away. They happen to ordinary people like you and me. But that's not what today's blog is about. Today's bolog is about me having to leave becuase I have plenty to do before lunch, plus I have to go hang a painting in B's office becuase well, it's aufully white. By the way, I kind of picked it out and he approved, which is great becuase it's a picture of NY so he can remmeber every day that that's where we're going to spend New Years and then after I can give him a nice pic to put in his office! I'm soo excited, but you already knew that, didn't you? -Rx.
