WIWW: LBD in London

Happy Wednesday, everyone and yes, I have a very red background, hihihi! May background´s flooded with lots of red poppies. :)

I may have told you that I went on a long weekend trip to London the other weekend. So here´s a sneak peek of what´s to come although for now, these are outfit pics. We took these on our first stop of the day, at the Tower of London.

I know that the London weather is ambivalent but I didn´t expect that it changes it´s mind every three minutes from sunny->cloudy->rainy and so I wore black and a hat , just in case. I wanted something breezy and dark because I´m bloated(as usual) and a pair of flats because there was a lot of walking going on. The red tote was for storing the denim jacket when it´s sunny and the umbrella for the rain showers. Gotta be ready for anything! :)

dress and bag (all from the summer sales)- Zara, sandals- Pimkie
I´ve been wearing a lot of jeans and shorts lately and so a jersey dress( albeit in black) would be a nice change in my OOTD photos in the blog. Hope you like it! :)

Warm kisses,

 Che

I love simple, plain dresses like this one in a T-Shirt or Tank style and there is that fab hat again. Your red accessories are beautiful. Loving the sandals. And how lucky to go see London.

BTW, about the Denim Vest, I too have small shoulders and skinny arms and could have used a smaller size actually. You can totally wear them. There are fitted and cropped options out there. Go get one on sale!!

Happy Wednesday Che!!

Glad you had a great time in London. It really is an amazing city. A black dress was a good choice - the weather really does change quickly here.

Yes!!! Love this LBD. I am on the look out for a similar dress but haven't come across anything that does not make me look nine months pregnant. This dress fits your perfect and is very flattering. I have told you before that I really want that purse...lol. Love the styling here with the black. Great pop of color. Thank you for joining the Thrifting Sisters link up. We truly appreciate the support.

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 ...
