3- KINGS

Today, Catholics around the world celebrate the feast of the Three Kings. While in other countries this is not a big deal, here in Spain IT IS because it´s gift giving day. So hurray for the kids and the not- so -kiddie looking who get to receive gifts twice during the holiday season! ;)

In every major city in Spain, the grand parade of the Three Kings happen every late afternoon of January 5. The bigger and richer the city, the more spectacular and colorful it is. There´ll be lots of  candies too for the sweeth tooth. :)












What I Wore:

I wanted something comfy and warm at the same time because it´s drizzling and there´ll be lots of standing while waiting for the parade to start.


I also wore my new ring. A cameo ring  in mother of pearl setting. Isn´t it cute?


These are my best rain/snow shoes ever. It´s light, made of rubber and suede and best of all, it´s platform. So I walk taller, literally. I´ll be showing you a close-up of these shoes on my next posts. Stay tuned! ;)


How nice it is to be a kid again with lots of gifts, no? ;) But as we grow older the magic of Christmas slowly wears off until we have our own children. Then overnight we become Sta. Claus or the Three Kings for them and the magic continues.The cycle never ends, it´s a lasting tradition which I hope will never change in time.



When you were much younger, do you believe that Sta. Claus or the Three Kings brought you gifts from the North Pole/ from a land so far away? ;)

Catch up with you soon,

It was easy not to believe in Santa Claus when I was a kid because 1)snow was made of cotton in the Philippines 2) we had no chimney for Santa to sneak in Haha.

That festival of the three kings looks amazing. I wish we had something like that to prolong the Christmas celebration! Haha. Europe is for parties!

Hope you had a great New Year's eve and Christmas! I like your new comfy shoes!
Sounds so cool! Love those boots, Honey!

I miss all the fiestas and all sorts of festivities :(. I still believe in Santa else kawawa naman mga pamangkins ko ;). It is always nice to wear comfy shoes especially when you know that it will going to be a long walk.

Yes, it's me and my hubby and actually you're my inspiration when I bought that dress with flowers on it, I kinda like it! And guess what.... my daughters told me to wear more dresses like that and encouraging me to read more fashion blogs hahahhaha.

Thanks for visiting and am wishing you and your hubby a 2011 full of great surprises!

muchos besos/Dredd
