Monday Remix: Burgundy and Prints

Hello, Monday!

2014-03-10 13.18.43

First, pardon the droopy eyes, I´m on medication for my cough and colds because it got worse. No fever though but waking up with an achy throat in the morning isn´t my version of fun to start the day. So anyway as I was starting to spring clean my closet, I found this printed pants which I wore only once last year. I kinda forgot about it, hehe. This is what happens when you have a disorganized small closet, you just pile everything on top of the other forgetting about your clothes at the bottom portion. So here´s what I whipped up for today´s Monday Remix:

Love this look! Those pants are so fun and are the perfect length! The sweater is awesome too, love the color. I always love a good basic that you can get tons of use out of and that lasts.

You have the most beautiful, most unique printed trousers and skirts. Loving this. In today's outfit I like them most. The Large Cozy Clutch is great too and perfectly matches the Brown Sweater.

OMG. This has to be my personal favorite look of the week. Not the biggest, fanciest, I know, but it suits my taste to a tee. I neeeeed pants like these, but have been unsure of styling. Now I know. I may have these identical shoes in my closet, including the across-the-instep straight line design. Good! Thanks for the mini-tutorial.

So sorry you're feeling bad. Hope you feel much more the things very soon! You sure made my day better, so know you make a difference!

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 ...
