Of Plaids, Fishnets and Dieting

Do you rememember this plaid shirt dress? I first wore it here. With the almost summery weather that we´re having here, I´m wearing it as it is.




This time I paired it with brogues and some fishnet stockings for some ¨extra ventilation¨ from the heat. hehehe!


I´m in a serious bloaty phase right now that I feel and look so round. lol! Ten years ago, it was easier for me to trim down my figure. I just eat less for three days and  then I get my slender size back. Now, even if  I eat less for about week, I´m still so round! When you´re in your 30s, you´re body´s metbolism isn´t quite like it was before, you need to exercise more, eat less and change the diet for good. Uh-oh, I wish I can do all of that because I love chocolate, ice-cream, pasta and meat. Wish me luck! ;)


Wearing:

plaid shirt dress- Mango
brogues- New Yorker

So what about you? Are you getting round lately? What are your dieting tips?


Curious me,

hahaha trust me...I am getting round lately...I came from cambodia with a bunch of Filipinos and guess what we ate the best Filipino foods for three days...imagine my weight gain hahahahah I was so afraid of how much I gained, I immediately weigh myself when I arrived in Bangkok...and I've been sleeping lately so that reminds me to stop being so lazy and start working out or getting things done...

thanks for the comments babe...I am still working out with my make-up hahahaha....

Good luck with the dieting! I've been trying to get healthy for a long time and these are my tips:
- cut out meat (it's full of fat!) or if you can't do that, go vegetarian for at least 1-2 days a week
- no more sugar! seriously, it's worse for you than oil and butter. 3 days without sugar and i already look thinner.
- find an exercise that you LOVE and do it! 4-5 times a week!

Oh you don't need to worry! You look great as always. I have a great plaid dress for autumn/winter too which reminds me a bit of what you're wearing now.

Listen, you look fabulous, and SO not bloaty. It's all in your head. Love your outfit. And as for metabolism, it's a natural thing, embrace it. You are so gorgeous.

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 ...
