The Weekend

Happy Monday, all!

I had the most interesting weekend despite it being rainy and cold. Here´s what I did:

 Sunday: Went out to cast my first vote as a Spanish citizen. The temperature went down to as low as 13ºC so I had to bundle up quite a bit. This was my voting outift, a turteneck light floral sweater which and a grayish green jacket which has been with me since last year:

Saturday: Went to Bilbao to go to buy Ikea´s mustard and basil sauce ( I´m a fan of this dressing!), went malling( and got inside Primark too) and visited almost all of the outlet stores (scored a pleated navy blue skirt at the Mango Outlet store for 5. 99 euros!)) and then:

 ended up lining at the Guggenheim despite the heavy downpour. It´s the museum´s 15th annivesary and so the entrance free was free. Too bad we didn´t go on a Sunday, they serve free cupcakes too. :(

Also took a sneaky photo( after this one of the guides caught us, lol!) of the work of Richard Serra in one of the salas of the Guggenheim. This is just one of the gigantic sheet metals found in whole sculpture called Matter of Time.

These running LED lights are a huge crowd drawer too. The reddish color was actually messages about love, heartaches, sadness in written in English and Spanish:

and... Friday afternoon: This is what happens when you wear flats and the photographer aka the hubz is a full head taller than you:

You end up looking like a sack of potatoes! There goes my weekender, how about yours? ;)

Enjoy the week, dears!

Hugs,

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 ...
