Pisa Blanca

Just before arriving in Pisa,our guide told us ¨ You´ll be fascinated with Pisa and it´s buildings. Everything´s white over the green grass.¨ and boy, he was right! But first, a photo of me in the adjacent building which is an enclosed cemetery. ;)

P1170070

The gleaming white marble buildings of the Piazza del Duomo which by the way is a UNESCO World Heritage Site are the main attractions of this famous place. First the baptistery,

P1170043

then the church

P1170042

and it´s intricate ceiling and graceful columns in black and white marble which reminded me of  the duomo of Siena.

P1170056

As for what I wore, it was something very casual as usual. We´re in the middle of the heat wave when we had the tour so just imagine how hot it was while walking under the sun. I wanted to wear something where my pores can breathe because I was sweating all over including my feet. Eeeeww!
P1170069
top-H&M, shorts- Stradivarius, bag- Tous, sandals- Zara
What I like about Pisa is that the main attractions were built side by side and so you don´t have to walk that much to visit each and everyone of them. See?

P1170037

And yes, the main reason why we decided to come here: the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. After some work was done on the tower´s foundation, it´s said tha it could last up to 200 years more. That´s good news for the future generation! :)

P1170078

Of course, I had to have my photo taken beside the tower. I tried extending my hand when we shot the tower on the right side( like supporting the tower) but my photographer wasn´t that artistic enough. All the photos ended up weird and sorta trying too hard, hahaha! So this shot on the left side of the tower would do for now.

P1170080

I´m almost done with my Italian tour post. Next week would be Venice, watch out for that! ;)

Happy Monday, all!

I've always wanted to visit and see the leaning tower for myself. I'm definitely going to try to get a picture with my hands pretending to support it, haha!

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 ...
