Navy Blue and White

Holaaaa!

I should have worn something in red and yellow to celebrate Spain´s championship in the FIFA World Cup (por fin after 90 years!) but seeing all the red and yellow everywhere, I changed my mind. hahaha! I´m not a diehard football fan but I can´t help but be carried away by the festive spirit in here.

This is first time that I´m wearing navy blue. I don´t usually wear this particular shade but I´m surprised to find a lot of blue in my closet! So I´m showing you some. ;)

top- F21(very old)

necklace- Blanco

ring- local store
navy blue skirt- H&M

The top is very light and I love the print (it looks like a zebra print to me but it isn´t) and the skirt was an impromptu buy from the summer sales last year. I forgot about this skirt until now. And... about a year ago, mixing silver and gold would be a NO NO but suddenly the trends have changed. So I jumped into the bandwagon. :)


Back to the FIFA, the spontaneous kiss by Iker Casillas to the sizzling hot Sara Carbonero was so sweet. I so love that part. Must be because I´m romantic like that. lol! Follow this link. The cheesy song isn´t part of the original footage, okay? ;)

Hugs and kisses from here!

xoxo,

Che


PS: Sorry for the very crappy photos on my posts, I have no time to travel and take outdoor photos these days. So busy buying things for the new flat because come August everybody here goes on vacation.

Cheryl!!! Guess what? Another coincidence! I was wearing red and yellow on my latest post, and I didn't even know Spain won. I know you'll be dying of laughter again. This has happened twice or thrice now whenever I post comments on your blog! Freaky.

Nice pattern on the shirt. It doesn't matter how old a piece of clothing is... I wear vintage, so mine are even older! :)

Thanks for the comment on my blog. Nice to hear from you!

Oh I so love your ring! I even think the design would look nice in a bangle as well. Love love!!

I'm not so much of a navy blue person either. I can probably count in my fingers all the navy blue items I have in my closet.

You, on the other hand, could pull off this color so have more lookbooks like this!! =)

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 guilty pleasure since last week. I can eat this e

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 Spanish s

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. Be careful o
