Connect the Dots

Haloooo!

I wouldn´t be posting my NYE menu here because I know that food is the last thing on your mind right now after all those days of bingeing. So here goes my NYE outfit:




Yup, I wore dots and lots of circles!


The same goes for my ring with these colorful round stones.


Got tired of wearing tights and so I just put on a pair of brown socks for my clogs. Problem solved! hahaha


As a New Year´s Eve Filipino tradition, I wore dots. Circles mean unending good luck and more money (I fervently hope so). Then the hubz and I gobbled 12 grapes just before midnight as part of the Spanish tradition. A mix of east and west? Sounds good to me. ;)


So what did you do to invite Lady Luck your way? I didn´t make noise, nor jump, nor collect and jingled lots of coins but I did dance (because I was tipsy). ;)


Here´s me goofing around just before setting the table. The chairs are still.. ah.. covered. hihihi


May this year bring us prosperity, success and good health! I also want to thank all of you for taking the time to read my posts even if most of the time they´re kinda boring. I tried to be witty but words and imagination escape me most of the time. hahaha! Anyway, here´s to another fashion-filled, bling-ey and well spent (meaning no over-budget) year to all of us!

Kisses from here,

Che

So colorful! I've never heard of the dots tradition. On New Years Day we eat black eyed peas & collard greens for good luck & money. It's usually done in the Southern US states

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 ...
