And I think to myself, what a wonderful world...

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.



I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.



The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.



I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Anita & Nelly are my grannys, they are twins and the most wonderful women I ever met in my whole life; and today is their birthday, so I gathered a few photos and made this collage as my gift to them. Such beautiful souls! <3
Anita passed 17 years ago, but there is not even one day I don't think of her and miss her, she was my second mother and I love her so much!
And it's been a few years since I last saw Nelly, and I miss her, too and love hearing the things my mum tells me about her, she's so funny!

I wish you both a Happy Birthday!

Winter Sales & Gifts.

Last month I went on a shopping spree and bought a few things that I actually didn't need, but I can never say no to cute things on sale, hahaha!
I didn't spend much, to be honest, I actually buy when things are for a good price, like at Blanco Stock, which is basically an outlet with things from past seasons and everything is discounted around a 70%. Of course I'd like to buy things of better quality, but I rather have lots of clothes to wear in different ways, than having one that costs as much as 15 of the others; because I don't have a job, I'm not rich, my parents only give me money on special occasions plus I don't live with them and of course I'm not a popular blogger with sponsors xP So my husband gives me what he can, whenever he can, even if he should be doing something else, and more important, with it.

Why am I saying all this? I don't know, I just needed to get it out, haha! I grew up very very spoiled, like very very much! No one ever said "no" to me, and now that I have a family of my own and I realize I have to quit being as spoiled as I used, it feels strange and sometimes uncomfortable. That's why I try not to spoil my son, I indulge him, but I say "no" a lot.

Anyway, apart from all the babbling, I'm sure, you don't care, here is what I bought.

Pink Sweater, Blanco - Bambi Cardigan, syrupXdisney - Dress, Blanco - Poodles Sweater, Blanco -
Bag, Blanco - Skirt, Blanco - Leatherette Shorts, Vero Moda.


Everything from Blanco.


Erised Mirror, Wooden Rocking horse, Happy/Sad, Kissing Birds, Flower Birds Necklaces & Rings from ebay
- Daisies Necklace, Blanco - Carrousel & Clock Earrings, Bijou Brigitte.

And also a package full of sweet things from my Mother Land, courtesy of my godmother.
It's funny how I knew what was inside the package, and yet when I opened I almost started to cry when I saw all those delicious "alfajores", with "dulce de leche" and real chocolate and not that Nuttella thing (YES! I'm saying it out loud, I hate nuttella, probably because in this country they put its version (nocilla) to EVERYTHING, ughhh!)
And don't be fooled, that box just contains lace and two scarves, hahaha. It actually fooled me... xP

Book for Luc - Alfajores & Candy for everyone!

A box full of lace, which I don't know, for the life of me, what I'm going to do with it; and yellow scarves,
which remind me of the belt I had to wear with my jumper-skirt for school xDD

Dublin on Thursday, November 17th 2011

Thursday was the last full day we were spending in Dublin, so yes, I'm finishing these entries soon. Also, my flickr PRO account is expiring in a few days, so I want to upload as many photos as I can before that day, since I don't know when I'll go PRO again.

That day, after having breakfast, we went to buy a pair of comfy boots for me since my feet were dying from the day before, I bought some lovely boots at Primark, I should've bought 20 pairs since I love them but they aren't great quality, so I'm afraid they won't last long D:
Later we headed to The Old Jameson Distillery; yeah, I know what you're thinking right now "what an alcoholic trip!!!", but to be honest, there was nothing else to do, especially with the rain. Plus me not liking beer doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good whisky with cranberry juice! ;D

After learning how to make Irish whisky, we went to Dublin Castle, a very beautiful place, and I actually learnt a lot about how Ireland became a Republic and some funny stories from the past, like for example, that Bram Stoker used to work there as a tax collector before writing Dracula.
Later we walked a lot around the city and did a little more shopping before having dinner.

 Remember you can see more photos here!

Dublin on Tuesday, November 15th 2011

On Tuesday we woke up early in the morning to have breakfast at the hotel; we had a full Irish breakfast minus the baked beans (ugh!), but to be honest I couldn't eat the bacon, and it was funny watching Luc trying to eat the fried egg (he hates eggs, probably the only food he hates).
After breakfast we headed straight for the Guinness Storehouse, which I had already bought the tickets for. I hate beer (you can see my "Beer face" in one of the potos), but my husband is like the ultimate Guinness fan, he refers to it as "Irish Water", hehe!

We had a really fun time there, and after that we went back to the hotel whereabouts were all the shops were located, we bought a few things, but we spent the whole evening buying since my husband is very VERY thorough when shopping abroad.
And even if we didn't visit any other touristic place, what we enjoy the most is getting lost in the city and find lovely and curious spots.

After leaving what we bought at the hotel, we head back to Temple Bar so we could find a place to eat, and since Luc wanted Pizza, we went for Italian. There are MANY Italian restaurants there, and I don't know the others, but the one we choose, Botticelli, has real Italian food, cooked and served by Italians. The food was delicious, and the service was great, so if you ever go to Dublin and are tired of stew and fish n' chips, go there, you won't regret it! Plus they have delicious home-made ice-creams. (OHHHH, I how I missed home-made ice-creams! I haven't had any since I left Argentina.)

And here's a video of two guys playing the "Hang", an instrument I've never heard of before. Live it sounds ten thousands better, but really, is bewitching!

I know I posted quite a few photos, but if you want you can see more here, in my flickr.

Dublin on Monday, November 14th 2011

In one of my last posts I wrote I was going on vacations for a few days, well, last Monday I went with my son and my husband to Dublin, Ireland. The truth is that the plan was Athens, Greece, but with al the chaos going on there we thought it was better to wait, and choose another destiny. The options were Bruges, Belgium; Amsterdam, Netherlands & finally Dublin, Ireland. I preferred Amsterdam or Bruges, but Dublin's flights were cheaper on such short notice.

Our flight was delayed and hour, so when we arrived at Dublin we had only an hour of daylight, since at 5pm. it's night already. We went sightseeing the hotel whereabouts and then to Temple Bar, the place were most pubs are located.
We wanted to have dinner early because we were really tired, 'cause we knew the kitchens there close at 10pm and because Luc couldn't be at pubs after 9pm.
We found a nice place, but quite pricey (but then again, everything is double priced at Temple Bar) called Quay Restaurant, and we ordered, two burgers and a lamb stew. I never in my life ate stew, now I want to eat it every day this winter, hahahahha!

When we were heading back to our hotel, I found a Forever 21, a Primark & a H&M. At Forever 21 I didn't like anything, really, people who always buy there have amazing stuff, but I didn't find anything nice, and it happened the same at H&M. At Primark I bought some accessories and socks. I wanted to buy so many color block dresses, but I didn't buy any of them since my husband & son had already bought too much and we hadn't much space in our suitcases. I only bought a pair of boots, because both pair of shoes I took there hurt my feet really bad and with the rain I had my socks wet the whole time!

I don't really have much photos of the first day since we did almost nothing, but this was the only day I got proper photos of my outfits. I really wanted to make outfit shots, but my husband is not fond of them and doesn't have the patience to do it DD:

Cardigan: 47th Street.
