Sumthin´ Preppy

It´s a fly day Friday today, dahlings! So what are your plans for the weekend? Mine would depend on the driver aka the hubz. This is almost a week old outfit. Last Saturday, we decided to cross the border towards the neighboring French side at St. Jean Pied de Port. Had lunch at the Spanish-French border first because it was way much cheaper than having lunch at the first French town, lighted some candles at the church and went back home in time for the hubz date night with his friends. I tried working on a preppy style, it´s been ages since I sported this look and even if it´s a still a freezing weekend, I survived with just a pair of shorts and thermal tights. Whew! :)

( top- Esprit(very old!), shorts- H&M, bag- Zara)

Love the hubz´ first dish:  assorted French charcuterie ( hubz said it´s a little bit bland, lol! Forgive him, he´s Spanish. Cold cuts and sausages in Spain usually have a stronger  flavor than their French counterpart) while I had assorted fried ¨tapas¨. The paella was normal but we both loved the seafood  empanada!

Mosaic- tapas



Here´s a street photo of the whole look. Gotta cut my face because my eyes were so puffy!

Wherever you are, enjoy your weekend. Luv you, dahlings! :)

Besitos.

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 ...
