Military Inspired

Look what I´ve found while spring cleaning:

 I bought this beige jacket at a local Spansih store two summers ago when the military look wasn´t so IN.

silver chains- local Spanish store, rose bangle set- Blanco

I think I only wore this once and then let it hibernate because I kinda don´t like the puffy look at the back.


See that?

gray wedges-Pull & Bear, jeans- very old, Jag( Phils.)

Oh the things, that you´ll find buried inside your closet! I´ve saved a few euros this month because I was thinking of buying a beige jacket. ;) By the way, if I look preggers it´s because I´m bloated and I had just had a very heavy dinner of diet coke and lots of tuna pizza when I took these photos. Plus, just when the camera timer was counting 9, I forgot to NOT breathe. hihihi! Hey, I´m not perfect you know. ;)

Happy Sunday, peeps and Happy Mother´s day to all the moms out there! :)

Isn't it funny how trends come and go? I had a leather jacket in my closet for ages and it suddenly got all trendy here and I could wear it again without feeling embarrassed. And you look great! You're tiny. I don't think you need to hold anything in at all.

I really like this. Love how the top could be used for clubing with tights too. And how you wear the jeans. Very cool. Great jacket.

Thanks so much for the note.

Hello Ate!
Na-miss kita ng sobra sobra.
Ang tagal kong di nakadalaw sau at i guess
first time ko mag visit dito sa bagong blog mo. Thank you very much sa comments po!
I am loving it... di pa rin nawawala ang pagka witty at ang sense of humor mo.

Ang sarap naman ng dinner mo, i am dreaming of pizza na. Hindi ako na satisfied sa dinner ko ngaun eh. Lalong nagugutom ako!

Ay, talking about old jeans... i still have mine too atmasaya ako dahil nagkasya pa rin sa akin. May jacket din ako parang katulad ng jacket mo, maisuot nga. Parang Isabel Marant ang outfit mo!

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 ...
