La Peste Negra

Hi, everyone!

Looks like this is going to be my last outfit post for now because my body and my face (huhuhu!) is all red and blotchy. The dreaded ¨chicken pox¨has finally caught me and these little monsters just keep on growing on me literally. Eeeew!

long cardigan- Lefties

paisley top- Blanco, bondage skirt- Stradivarius

ballerina flats- H&M

Photos were taken in Pamplona (Spain). If you´re interested about the world famous Bull Runs, then the most famous of them all is celebrated here. This city was Ernest Hewingway´s fave in Spain.

Will talk about the Bull Runs in my travel blog soon. In the meantime, allow me to disappear and heal my wounds. No more clear skin for now. Waaaaah!

Adios, my dahlings!

OMG, ngayon ka lang nagka-chicken pox. Naku, sabi nila as you get older, mas malalim ang scars. Take care not to scratch ha, tapos lagyan mo agad ng cebo de macho or something similar pag nag-heal na yung scars.

I love your top... such a nice color.

Hope you get well soon Che! xoxo

@ Rose: Being worse as you grow older, I think it´s true. I hope I won´t be left with so much scars specially on the face. Thanks, Rose!

@ Leah: Opo ngayon lang, just when I´m turning very old. hehehe! I hope I can find here cebo de macho kasi yung cacao nila dito is lip balm. Good luck to me!

@ Toni: I´m itching na to scratch them pero what I feel right now is parang they ¨sting¨.Maybe because they´re still growing,I hope not too big. huhuhu!

O my goodness! I got chicken pox only last year and it was so so so terrible. DON'T SCRATCH. And sleep a lot. But definitely don't scratch otherwise the scarring lasts forever and is so obvious. I hope you feel better.

shirt dress converted to top - Zara ( from the sales last year) Lately, I´ve discovered that the extra pounds that I´ve unconsciously piled over the past years have finally settled comfortably on my face. I´m going to hide my face for now. ;) Do you have a wgi (weight gain indicator and I made this up)  in your body? I do and it´s my face (aside from the muffin top). hehe!;) earrings - bazaar (Phils.) I love shirt dresses. They´re loose and they basically hide anything that you wanted to hide. Know what I mean? ;) One bad thing about this particular dress shirt though is the fit. It´s too loose, a bit short and it doesn´t look good with my mini ... and so a lot of rolling and folding was done to achieve the  laid back look that I wanted to create . That´s me rolling and folding below. ;) I´m just kidding about hiding my face. Here it is... and yes, my face is so healthy, no? :) Say hello to the weight gain culprit ! My guilt...

Flyday Fridays: Paris (part 1)

Image
The first time I went to Paris was in early spring. It was raining and gloomy but that didn´t stop me from falling in love with this romantic city. Here are some things to do and places to visit when you´re in Pa-gheee . ;) 1, 2, 3: Get lost inside le Louvre,  pass by   Mona Lisa´s room and get mesmerized by her coy smile and if you like ancient jewelry, be enthralled by the museum´s jewelry collection. Even the bishop´s crozier is bejeweled! 4: Admire the Sainte Chapelle´s amazing ceiling, structure and colorful stained glass windows. 5,6: Fall in line (entrance is free!) and admire the sculpture and stained windows of the Notre Dame. By this time you´re very tired and so take a rest at the park/garden at the back of the church. Later you can cross the small bridge and have your lunch at one of the numerous creperies and restaurants in the small island. 7,8: After a light lunch, take the metro and go to Montmartre and visit the Sacré Coeur....

Skirting the Issue

Image
Halooo! So how´s your weekend? ;) Mine was spent visiting the new flat ( we just had the new sofa delivered, yey!) and last Saturday we went to this mini-food fair where they sell lots of goodies. I tasted some chorizos, jamon serrano, and a glass of white wine too. Too bad I forgot to take the camera so no photos to show you but we brought home some sweets which unfortunately we also gobbled up during the weekend. hihihi! At least I´ve spared you from breaking your diets this summer. ;) Truth be told, I don´t look good wearing high waisted skirts because I have wide hips ( I´m good at hiding them here ;) . Maybe I could pull off wearing them 10 yrs. ago when I still have a slimmer silhouette, er, smaller waistine and hips and a flatter middle but now everything especially my hips are expanding faster like the speed of light. So a mini-hipster skirt is just perfect for me. floral top - Vero Moda skirt - Mango ( summer sales 2008) ring and silver bracelets - local ...
