Twilight at Donosti

Went to San Sebastian for a short trip. It was hot! Perfect for a white cottony top and a pair of pale pink shorts which I scored from the recent summer sales. The shorts was so tight ( from my seafood bingeing in Galicia, oh no!), I was afraid the buton will pop. Good thing it held on until we got back home. Hay!


I´m seeing square shopping totes in the stores nowadays and so it´s the time to pull out  the leather and suede bag from Zara thrifted a year ago. See? Trends do come and go and come back again. :)


Dinner was a yummy bocata with jamon asado and alcohol free mojito. Can it be called a mojito without alcohol?



Continuing on, we toured the place and the stores too and took a snap of the church steeple with my low tech camera.


We ended up on this half deserted beach which was filled up in record time, say after 10 minutes? Why? Because the best way to watch the fireworks was on the beach.


While the hubz doesn´t like the gritty sensation of the sand on his feet, I was happy stepping on it while watching the fireworks. ;)


The fireworks were a blast ashes and all, hehe. We sat near the front line --- > bad location. It´s a contest and so the participants prepared really well. That night it was Italy´s turn.


The night ended with a brisk walk towards the train station to catch the night train because we parked our car three or more towns away from the city. Parking in this city and in Bilbao is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Literally.

( top, shorts- Mango, bag-Zara, sandals- Blanco)

So that´s how one of my summer days was spent. How about yours?

We´re having a heat wave in here right now. For those who are having a cool weather, lucky you! Enjoy your day while we fan ourselves to death in this sweltering heat. lol!

Hugs,

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 ...
