City Tour

More travel photos for your viewing pleasure. I hope you aren´t bored yet. ;) I wore something light and breezy  because the weather´s still summery over there except in the early mornings and late nights. So I pulled out my oldest denim skirt for the last time before letting it rest in peace for good, a V-neck white shirt and a silky scarf to make the whole outift a little bit  interesting. Never mind about the clear tights. I was already dressed up and barelegged when the hubz suddenly burst through the door( from his early morning walk), looked directly at my legs and told me: If you don´t like to have goose bumps all over your legs once we step out from the hotel door, you gotta cover them up. And so I did and I´m glad that I did!

How cute are these lamps on the streets? I want to pick one and take it home with me. Would you too?

Most of the buildings/houses in the old quarter have a balcony. So quaint, so old world, so elegant. I´m loving it!

The octagonal ceiling of the main altar of the cathedral of Valencia. Very impressive actually.

A night photo of the city market bulding. This city has class. ;)

While visiting an acient bath house, these pair of wooden bath slippers caught my attention. Looks so Japanese, no? Nope, they aren´t. ;) I think they also use this kind of slippers/ closed shoes in some parts of Galicia. In winter while walking on the snowy streets!

Finally, a pose on the door photo. My travel photos can´t be complete without me posing on a door, any door for that matter. I don´t know, I just feel that I look good photogenic while posing on doors. Bwahahaha!

Don´t forget to come back. I still have a few trip photos to show you. In the meantime enjoy your weekend while I´ll wrap myself like an Eskimo. Summer´s finally gone but it was sooo good while it lasted. I even thought it wouldn´t leave. ;) Sadly, autumn didn´t arrive but we have winter with us right now and it´s giving me a headache. It´s freaking cold!

Send me a warm hug, peeps, wherever you are! ;)

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 ...
