Flyday Friday: Ronda


PC290181 - copia

Today´s Flyday Friday post is dedicated to this old town on the cliff, Ronda, a picturesque Spanish town 100 kilometers from the city of Málaga. Discovering this bucolic place was by accident. While having our  traditional Christmas lunch at the home of the hubby´s older cousin, somebody suggested that we should visit Ronda after I´ve told them that we´re spending the Christmas break at Málaga. I´m so glad that we took their advice because this is such a beautiful place to ignore when you´re staying in Málaga. See for yourself! ;)

As I´ve been telling you, the hubz finds it so cute to see so many orange trees around, so here´s another photo of me under an orange tree.

Although we´re true blue La Rioja wine drinkers( we live almost near the La Rioja border), we also love to try on wines from the different regions of Spain. The south of Spain is famous for it´s sweet wine/ dessert wine but they also produce red and white wine. Here are just some of the barrels on display at the Wine Museum of Ronda, the entrance fee comes free with the museum pass for all the available museums of Ronda while the wine tasting fee is I think 2 euros. The hubz had fun tasting the different wines and I tried them too despite the colds, lol!

Enjoy the weekend everyone and thanks for passing by! :)

Foggy kisses(still) from here,

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

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 ...
