San Sebastian by Night

Kaixo!


Remember about my 2nd to the last post about me debuting my red bag in San Sebastian? Well, here are some night shots for you. ;)

Hotel Maria Christina

San Sebastian for me is like the Hamptons but in the Spanish Basque Country. There is a preconceived idea that the people living in San Sebastian are, ah... snooty compared to those who live in the other two capital cities of the region but I don´t know if this is really true. ;)  What I can say though is that generally it´s a city filled with refined people. It has lots of excellent bars which serve one the best pinchos/ tapas in Spain, gorgeous beaches and is a city who loves the arts to a T. That´s why it´s being nominated as the Culture Capital of Europe for 2016. Don´t worry, if you´re a tourist the people there would willingly help you if you get lost. They´re quite friendly and so proud of their city. :)


Below is the Victoria Eugenia Theather where they usually hold the world renown San Sebastian   International Film Festival every September. Famous directors such as Orson Welles, FrancisFord Copolla, Pedro Almodóvar and Steven Spelberg have already graced this theater. Also actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore, Charlize Theron and actors Al Pacino, Franco Robert de Niro, Sean Penn, etc. came to visit this place over time during the festival period. In 2008, they gave a Lifetime Achievement Award to Meryl Streep.

There are so many things to show about San Sebastian. Will tell you about them the next time we visit this city and hopefully with clearer pictures to boot too. ;)


In the meantime, I´m leaving you a photo of me in La Concha while watching the daily fireworks from the beach during the weeklong fiesta.


Wearing:

floral silk top- local Spanish store
white bemuda shorts(cuffed)- Pull & Bear

Have a beautiful Wednesday, y´all! :)

Agur!

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 guilty pleasure since last week. I can eat this e

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 Spanish s

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. Be careful o
