Those Fat days










Wearing:
tank shirt- H&M
long sleeved denim- Bandolli ( Spanish brand), thrifted
chain and skull necklaces, cocktail ring- local Spanish store

What part of the month do you exactly feel and look fat? For me that would be the week before and after my period. Translation: 14 days of bloating, hehe! Too much salt intake (well aside from the hormones) is usually the culprit for bloating. The thing is I tend to crave more salty things and eat a lot on days that I shouldn´t. Goodbye willpower! Not that I have a lot of this actually, hihihi! So during those dreaded bloated days, expect me to wear something very loose and flowy to cover the ahhh... bulges and oh, almost no breathing too to suck in the tummy while walking down the street! ;)

Do you feel like this too? What do you do about it? Share? ;)


Sending you warm hugs from this cold side of the world,


Che

PS: I´m having a terrible hair day and so please excuse the hair and the smirk. ;)

For me that fat bloated feeling is just that a "feeling" because while I don't like to wear tight fitting clothes during that time, it's not because my clothes are really tight...and I see that with you too. You look great and I see don't see any bloat.

I love the necklace with the big ring and jean jacket. It pops! Great look.

Lol! I feel the same way. Everything just goes wrong around my period... stains (oh my), bloating, crankiness, pain, etc!

You don't look fat at all, but I guess we all feel fat sometimes! I didn't know you live in Spain! Very nice. How well do you speak Spanish? I only know a little bit. I can probably only speak to a 4 year old.

Pretty ring!

Hi Che!

I soooo hate it when the bloating happens ... kinda depressing for all the women in the world.

But what are you talking about?! You don't look fat AT ALL!

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

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 ...
