Looks Like Spring

Felt like wearing light colors today and so I thought of this lem-o-lime combination. It´s not the first time that I experimented with this combo. In fact, when color blocking was the rage last year, these were my colors. I don´t know.. I just find the mix of green and yellow so refreshing and young, no? ;)

To accessorize, I used a bow and feather brooch, my spider ring and throw in a mini arm party of silver bangle, brown, green and blue leather braids. Another experiment for my overripe lemony top, haha!

Oh and talking about this top, I had the most shocking discovery today. I´ve always heard about stores changing the original prices during the sales but I didn´t believe it until it happened to me. I bought this top at 50% off  ( based on the red tag) at the store of one famous Spanish brands ( not Z, the other one)  and you know what? When I accidentally tore off the red tag, this was what I saw underneath the tag:


Can you believe that?!? Good thing I really liked this top and so I didn´t go back to the store and complain. This is definitely a glaring example of false advertising. There can be a lot of ways to mislead the shoppers, you just have to see it for yourselves and be wary of them.

Now that you´re warned, enjoy your sale shopping, luvlies and talking about the weather ( like I always do), it looks like spring nowadays with the sun and all. Hallelujah!

Ciao! ;)

I love yellow and green. The top looks beautiful on you but I am sorry to read that you didn't get a real 50% off. That is lousy :(

Nice mix of colors! so fantastic, i love to see you Ladies go a bit crazy with your color combination! the accessory is just right!
I know about the labels, they do that here as well and more than we think, this is why i buy when i can get an item at its lowest price.

Thanks for your comments!

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 ...
