Weekend in Paris 1

And so I´m back! :)

We arrived early on our first day in Paris and since check-in time at the hotel starts at 12 noon, our spare time was spent at Montmartre.

The Sacre Couer:


Below is a photo of the inside part of the church. They do not allow picture taking inside but I was able to sneak one shot right before the hubz showed me the no-photography sign. hahaha! By the way, the guards are so serious here, they´ll shoo you away from the church once they catch you filming or taking pictures and so, careful, careful! ;)


It´s best to visit Montmartre in the early hours because there´s no crowd yet. Once it fills up, you can´t hardly walk on the main street without bumping into someone!


Such a quaint place. It´s normal for someone to want to draw you. Just be sure to say no if you don´t want to or ask for the price if you want to. ;)


Strike a pose:


The place is filled with creperies and restaurants. You won´t go hungry in here. :)


Later, after visiting Montmartre, we passed by this place whose name I forgot, haha!


It was sunny in Paris and so I wore a light denim skirt:


Wearing:
polo shirt- Lacoste
skirt- F21 ( very old)
floral cardigan- H&M
bag- le Pliage by Longchamp
sandals- local store

More photos to come, stay tuned! In the meantime, how was your weekend, dahlings?

Bisous,

Che

I love the Sacre Coeur as well. It's so beautiful, and walking around Montmartre is so much fun.
And love what you wore. The shirt and shirt are so pretty.

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 ...
