Cheetah In The Palace

Second day of our mini-Portuguese trip was spent between two palaces. Yep, you´ve read the right and this one´s the first of the two. Looks familiar? Scroll down and take a peek! ;)

I got this cheetah printed top from the final sales(which  I thought would go on forever but on the 1st day of April the sales racks were gone!) in Zara. So much for sale hunting, hahaha! Paired the top with tights because it´s still quite chilly out there and a pair of leather shorts to channel a hippy( sort of!) look. A tote is a must for me when I travel. I can put a lot of things in there, bottled water, brochures, scarf, cardigan, etc.and most importantly my secret purchases. ;) That´s why I always bring my Longchamps with me because they´re light and sturdy. ;)

Yep, it looked like Versailles but no it isn´t. It´s the Queluz National Palace, an 18th century majestic building built in Baroque and Rococo styles.

These are just some of the photos of the garden from the front and side. Wait until you see what´s inside in the next posts. Watch out for that. ;)

Enjoy your Wednesday!

I love your outfit here. I am a huge animal print fan (I need to 'tame' it a bit though at times) and love that baby pink tailored jacket to!

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...

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 ...

Nautical and Taupe

Hello, I´m still here! I know it´s been four days since my last post. ;) Real life´s been hectic lately and so I had to let go of  my blog life for a couple of days to attend to some urgent personal  matters. Anywa yz ,I´m back and wearing stripes! Since stripes looks good with sea, I´m sharing two photo snippets of Biarritz´s beaches in between my outfit photos. While almost everyone usually pair blue stripes with red or white I went for something different like taupe. Taupe is my new gray and I´m loving it! You should try it too. :) So why beach photos of Biarritz? It has one of the best beaches on this side of the world, it´s in France ( in the south actually)  and the place is chic ¨super magnified¨ !  As to my outfit, I´m finishing the look with a blush colored leather jacket and then I´m off for my afternoon walk later. I hope this looks chic enough. ;) ( top - Zara, pants - Pimkie, leather jacket - thrifted, flats, clutch - local...
