Autumn but feels like summer
I hope you are having a great start to Autumn or should we call it end to summer? I am not taking my jumpers out of boxes yet but at leats started to we are jeans and long pants from time to time and loving it!
Recent purchases
I have also purchased two pairs of long pants.First pair is white pants so perfect for this transitional period but I am also planning to wear them during winter as I am a huge fan of full white looks and white boots in winter time time. I think its super chick. I might get them in another cooler as cut is perfection, the only thing I had to do thigh its shorten them as they were way too long even though I am 170cm tall but I guess that’s great news for all lucky tall ladies out there.

My White Inspo
Another recent addition to my wardrobe is a pair of baggy jeans that offer versatility—you can wear them lower or higher by simply buttoning them up. They come in the most perfect shade of blue. I absolutely adore baggy jeans and find endless ways to style them!
Few things, you can try when wearing them next time
Tuck In a Fitted Top: Balance out the baggy silhouette of the jeans by tucking in a fitted T-shirt, blouse, or sweater. This will define waistline and add structure to your outfit.
Crop Tops: Pair baggy jeans with a cropped top to show off a little skin and create a stylish contrast between the loose bottoms and the shorter top.
Belt It: Adding a belt can help cinch in the waist and give your baggy jeans a more tailored look. Opt for a statement belt to add some flair to your outfit.
Roll or Cuff the Hems: Rolling or cuffing the hems of your baggy jeans can add a touch of style and showcase your shoes, whether it's sneakers, ankle boots, or heels.
Add Layers: Layering is a great way to style baggy jeans. Consider throwing on a blazer, denim jacket, or cardigan over your top for a polished look.
Footwear: Baggy jeans work well with all sort of shoes. Sneakers, chunky boots, or even heels can all complement this style, depending on the occasion and your personal preference.
Accessories: Don't forget to accessorize. Statement jewellery, baseball hats, and handbags can elevate your baggy jeans outfit.
Experiment with Tucked-Out Styles: If you prefer a more relaxed look, you can also leave your top untucked.

Last week I also received another pair of loose-fitting washed jeans in this unique tan shade. I plan to wear them repeatedly, pairing them with both black and white tops. You might have glimpsed them in one of my reels already, but you can expect to see more of them soon!
The top I'm wearing with it is actually a single t-shirt that gives the illusion of two tops layered on each other. The fabric is incredibly soft and has a subtle see-through quality. It was sold out online, but I managed to find it at a boutique, and I love it so much that I'll be getting it in grey as well.
Massimo Dutti 35 euro
Last but not least, my recent addition from high street stores is a pair of Zara boots. This year, I've developed a full-blown obsession with chunky cowboy boots, and these Zara boots mark my fifth pair of the year—I just can't seem to resist! I'm eager to style them with a white shirt dress and oversized knitted dresses. I'm already eyeing some new kittwears, but the current weather in Mallorca is a bit unpredictable, with shifts from sunshine to rain to humidity all in one day…
Zara 80 eur
If I were to buy another pair, although I'm not confirming that I will, it would be this pair…..
Zara 140 eur
Luxury
Now, for a little luxury treat that left me rather disappointed. I came across this new Coperni bag on Instagram, and I thought it was the perfect bag. I was so happy, when I discovered it even came in larger sizes and in denim (so perfect for Autumn and Winter). I was already planning a stylish airport look for next week, but as soon as I saw the small box the bag arrived in, I knew it was a letdown… It turns out the bag is not structured at all, so it doesn't even maintain the shape of a heart; it's basically a piece of denim. And not even a particularly large piece or in a nice color, so it's a no-go for me. It looked so cool on the model, though. What a shame…
Coperni 490 eur
Just to give you an idea, I mean, maybe it's great for some, but it's not what I was looking for at all. If I'm going to spend this amount of money on something, I need to absolutely love it.
The best purchase of this summer
Among my more expensive purchases, I'm extremely happy with one in particular. I can say this with all my heart because I've been testing it for weeks now, and it's undeniably the best purchase of this summer for me.
It's my new Canon G7X Mark II camera. I absolutely love it and am completely obsessed with it. I enjoy taking it with me wherever I go, then leaving it for a few days without checking it and experiencing a pleasant surprise when I download the photos on my phone from time to time. I'm especially pleased with the slightly vintage effect in its photos and the built-in flash. So, if you've been contemplating getting a new camera for content creation or family trips, I totally recommend this one
Speaking of photos, you may have noticed a new style of editing in my recent pictures. This new look is achieved through either the camera's built-in effects or the Tezza App, which I've been really into lately, and sometimes, it's a combination of both. My favorite edit is the Klasse edit, and I often experiment with how much of it I add.
Entertainment
I didn't get to read any books last week due to the overwhelming workload and homework from my studies. Instead, I've been dedicating my mornings to a 10-minute Spotify meditation session. For those who aren't aware, I'm currently working towards my Image Consultant qualification. Consequently, most of my evenings at home have been spent in front of the computer, with some easy TV playing in the background.
I watched the Johnny Depp Amber documentary on Netflix, but since I had loosely followed the case at the time, I didn't learn anything new :) I also viewed the documentary 'Broke Shields,' which was interesting, but I had hoped for a deeper exploration of her life in her 20s and 30s; however, the storyline focused more on her teenage years.
Additionally, I watched the first episode of the Supermodels documentary on Apple TV, which was fantastic. I'm definitely looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Oh, and the one I'm eagerly awaiting is the Bardot Netflix series, although unfortunately, it's still not available in Spain

Eating & Cooking
My eating habits haven't been great lately; in fact, they've become noticeably worse since I stopped sharing my food diary with you and writing down everything I eat. This has made me realize that perhaps keeping a diary like that would be an effective way to stay on track. Well, it's not just a 'maybe,' it's a definite 'yes.' If I had to write down that I ate a whole package of biscuits, I'd feel embarrassed even in front of myself, but it did happen two days ago.
I'm still in my protein milk phase, but I've switched from chocolate to pumpkin spice Nespresso. Additionally, I've started adding a spoonful of collagen. I've been really good about drinking it every day last week, and I find that blending it into my coffee is the only way I can stomach it. Even though it doesn't have much flavor, I can't bring myself to just mix it with water and drink it; that's a bit too much for me.
Collagen I have been drinking:
I also tried to recreate a recipe I've been enjoying at a Chinese restaurant lately: chicken breast pan-fried in almond flakes. Of course, I wanted to make a slightly healthier version, so I swapped deep frying for the air fryer. Overall, it turned out quite well, especially for the first few slices. However, I noticed that as I continued cooking more filets, the almonds tended to stick less and less, so I need to work on that. It might be related to the fact that I reduced the quantity of flour slightly (I tend to reduce sugar or flour in every recipe).
For the meal, I followed this recipe and served it with buckwheat and a simple lettuce salad with vinaigrette dressing.
And speaking of food, I am going now to pick up some Spanish tortilla and croquettes as I am visiting a friend later this evening for a party in her village, Festa des Vermar, which is an annual local wine festival. All roads will be closed, and all residents will put their tables and chairs in front of their houses and invite passersby to dinner, with their local food and wine. Sounds so Spanish and so cute; can't wait to experience it!
Have a great day, everyone, and let's catch up next week!
