Fuschia In and About

It´s fly day, Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? While you´re mulling about it, let me share some photos of Coimbra and a castle which visited in Leiria in the central part of Portugal. I still have lots of travel photos to show you from my latest  Portuguese trip but I´ll be sharing them little by little in my future posts. A photo overload can make a post uninteresting, you see ( just saying!). ;)

The ruins of the Monastery of Sta. Clara in Coimbra.This place is very old( founded on 13th cent.). It got flooded ( because it was constructed near the Mondego River) so many times that the congregation decided to move up and leaving the remains of the old monastery down.

P1150195

View of the wall of the castle in Leiria some kilometers from Coimbra in the central part of Portugal:

And below the castle I got to photograph this very colorful  football stadium. I´m not really a fan of football but the vivid colors of the stadium got my eye. In Portugal everything is colorful even inside the metros! :)

P1150220

Leaving you with a customary photo in one of the many doors of the castle:

( jacket- Zara, shirt dress- Blanco, necklace -Forever 21, bag- Misako)

I originally wanted to wear fuschia flats with this look but at the end the whole combo was too tacky  matchy matchy so I wore this overexposed leopard ribboned flats instead. What do you think?

That´s it for now. Enjoy the weekeend, y´all! :)

Musuak (Kisses)!

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

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 ...

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...
