Weather: Cloudy
Mood: Sleeeeepy

Maybe it's becuase my uncle broughtly brownies last night (which btw were shaped like tiny ginger bread people, totally adorable)... I don't know, but I woke up with a very strong determination to wear brown today. I would have happily worn a pair of 3 layer, flake Minnetonka boots, except I don't own one... yet. So I did the best I could by wearing my Minnetonka flats instead, with my Minnetonka handbag and a brown tee. It's close enough I guess. Oh and my matching Minnetonka headband. hehehe. When I was dressed head to toe like a North American city-modern Pocahontas, I have to say, I was quite pleased. It looked just right. Too bad about the boots though, but never mind, my flats are totally fab, too! FOr now I need a little nap, cos later I have yoga and then I have dinner with B and his family to celebrate their new office, which is totally awsome and I'm so proud of him, I wouldn't miss it for the world! So... Z z Z z Z z Z z.... -Rx.

Location: Bogota, Colombia
Weather: Cloudy and cold, as usual
Mood: Really excited

Ok, this is going to sound ridiculous but I'm really excited about some stuff I just got that I bought on the internet. I love opening boxes, even though I know what's inside becuase it kind of feels like Christmas, and well... CVhristmas is my favorite season of the year. I mean, who's isn't? "It's beginning to look a t lot like Christmaaas, everywhere you gooo..." lalalala... Ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we? Any, now that my mid-year x-mas is here, I better go pick up the pieces. But all that isn't really relevant to how I picked my outfit today, although it does help I'm bursting with happiness. If not I probably would care less about what I look like. Point is, I have a birthday party tonight at a friend's house and everyone will be there so... what to wear? (OK, I'M STILL IN MY PJS!, you got me) THINK... THINK... THINK... AHA! I've got it! I'm so brilliant....

Ok, Zara jeans, black tank, colorblock turtleneck (F21) and my gorgeous new-ish sparly black shoes!!! As it happens I thought "think shoes.. think shoes..." and tadaaaa! hahaha brilliant. And yes, I have taken a certain liking for my Chanel handbag... Your point? It's a phase... It'll pass... NOT! -Rx.

Location: Bogota, Colombia
Weather: Cloudy - WHY ISN'T IT RAINING!!
Mood: Totally blessed

Ok, so why would I want it to be raining, right? Easy - because I bought the most adorable, red plaid rain booties yesterday, which believe it or not are brandless and only cost me about $30.000 COP ($15 USD) and I just HAD to wear them today! I mean helloooo! They are sooo cute! But of course, m'dear, it's not stupid raining. Anyway, it is quite cloudy and cold so with any luck, RAIN! hahaha I'ts a bit silly but whatever. SO since I had to wear me booties, I also picked out my new Zara, light blue jeans, my wrap-around Old Navy tee and a black cardi so I don't look like a Christmas tree. And mum's let me borrow her plaid scarf to match my boots so it's all PARFAIT! I'm so happy, plus I'm on summer holiday starting today and for 2 weeks so I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the day... Ok, I'm totally NOT going to just sit here! I'm going out, so people will see my new boots and uuu and aaa at them. I'm also suposed to be having lunch with my dear B but he's covered it work so who knows! Anyway, I'm gonna hit the streets and it'll be just me, my booties, my Beetle and Jet Joan enjoying the day! -Rx.

Mood: I'M ON VACAAAAAAATION!!!!

Ok I'm not on vacation, but I do have a 2 week break from uni which is just as good, 'cos I seriously need it. You have no idea how much work I keep getting and everytime I have to read more, and research more, and do more, which is great except it's exausting... Anyway, I'm on my 2 week break and I'm starting off by having lunch at B's aunt's house 'cos her son just got back, so I'm really looking forward to that. It is a family lunch so I have to look half descent but I don't want to look like I'm over-doing it either. So after a long hour's thought I put together a pair of really dark, skinny blue jeans, a white flowery top and matching shoes! Totally casual and cute, plus I'm wearing my St. John's Bay chunky cardigan and my grandmother's vintage handbag which is a totally nice touch, I think. So, looking totally fab, I'm going to take my dog out for a small Sunday walk before lunch! -Rx.

Location: Bogota, Colombia
Weather: Cold and cloudy
Mood: Where's the off button? 

OMG my head is killing me. Not that I have a headache, just a tiny, little hangover that I wish would go away. One on my bf's best and closest friends is leaving on Wednesday to go and live in the States so we went out clubbing last night as our last night out all of us, and we had an awsome time... but this, today, is the end result. YEsterday I wore 2 pairs of shoes, btw: gray boots during the day, and nude, tiny kitten heels to go dancing, so I guess that takes care of that. I have to admit, I wasn't really sure weather that counted as wearing them but I guess it did, and for quite a long time. Let's see... I wore the boots from 9 to 6, that's 9 hours and I wore the kitten heels from 7ish till around 3, that's 8 hours... so yes, I guess I can say I burned both ends of the stick with them shoes... hehehe. Now today's outfit is a whole 'nother story. First of all, hangover = no bright colors, I might be sick. Second, comfort above fashion. So, I ended up with this: Zara jeggings, white T, white slocuh sweater (reaaaally old one) and my UGGs... Nothing extraordinary, and another one bites the dust... -Rx.

Weather: They said it wouldn't rain... Stupid weather people
Mood: WAY TOO HAPPY

It's really late (11pm) and I'm totally happy 'cos my bf got his new office today, and we spent most of the day there just kind'a organizing and hangin' around and it was so perfect. I'm so proud of him. Them we went out for celebration dinner with friends and that was even better. SO all in all it was a good day. Today's events, however, had nothing to do with my outfit. I actually wanted to wear a skirt, (really badly) but I left it for Friday, so I hope I'm still in my mood skirt by then. I actually had a conversation yesterday during lunch with my aunt about tights. Opaque tights, to be exact. You see, she reaaaaaally loves them, and therefore she got me going, and now I have a pair in every color. Point is mum got her like 4 pairs for her b-day from this awsome place called welovecolors.com which is totally fab and they do solid colors and stripes! And since I've just told you, I have a pair in every color, I told my aunt I wanted a pair of navy and white stripy ones, which would look totally cute with my navy and white tee (which I'm wearing today) and a denim skirt. So, all in all, I woke up today and wow! I wanted to wear my navy and white t-shirt too! Coincidence? Dunno but I had to choose something and since I was, am, determined to leave the skirt for Friday, well here I am, wearing all Navy! -Rx. 

*Dun't know why it didn't publish last night, sorry! :s

Location: Bogota, Colombia
Weather: Suprisingly sunny, considering I was told it would rain today
Mood: Icky

Have you ever felt uncomfortable withyourself? Weill that's exactly how I feel, like I need another shower (yes, I did shower today...) Dunno why. However that's not how I felt this morning, when I got dressed. Actually I felt a bit like Hillary Duff in Material Girls, tré, tré chic! hahaha. So I have these gorgeous denim heels which I never wear because with jeans they're a bit too much and I don't know what else to combine them with, so they just sit in my shoe cubbard and look cute. Today however is my auntie Uga's b-day, the perfect ocasion for that bit too much, and as I was a total Duff knock out, why not. I paired it up with my peasant shirt 'cos I actually wanted a blue shirt to match my shoes, but blue shirt, blue jeans and blue shoes and I might as well would have shown up at the smurf premiere. So I went for white and loose instead... :) -Rx.
