Before we continued touring the town, we stopped by Narbona restaurant for lunch and an extended tea break thereafter. We had yummy cordon bleu for our main courses (we took the kid’s meal cos the portions are huge!). At 2 euros, you can also get yourself a glass of sangria, which is the same price as what a coke or coffee would cost!

Over here, the siesta starts from 1.30pm to 4.30pm, and families would gather for long, leisurely lunches together. Wish we could do that in Singapore too, where work-life balance is more of a myth, don’t you think? Unless you’re self-unemployed like yours truly. 😉

After filling our tummies with sangria and oily fried food, we climbed up to the highest point of the town, where the Santa Maria La Mayor castle-collegiate church is. This church used to be a Muslim castle until it was conquered by the King of Aragon in the 1600s.

The mesmerizing view atop the clock tower of Santa Maria collegiate-church.

Here’s what I wore to battle the sweltering heat.

Lace Ribbon Camisole from Forever New

White denim shorts from H&M

Along the way back, we passed by El Puente, a campsite with a beautiful arched bridge against the captivating backdrop of Sierra de Guara just as the sun was setting.

Sigh..I’m so gonna miss this place!!!!

Byebye Rodellar, and hello Barcelona.

When the weather was less chilly last week, I threw on the Soffieanne Cascading Dress in Nude Cream, courtesy of Amelie Anne, for one of my rest days from hiking in Rodellar when I’ll wander around the picturesque town and chill out in quaint cafes with a glass of ice-cold coke (not beer) in the company of the scenic mountain view.

I received this dusky pink tank top with lace and ruffles from ClubCouture just before I left for my trip. The minute the wrapping came off, I knew I had to pack it into my luggage immediately.

I wore one of my favourite tulle skirts to lunch today and I could barely open my eyes for a photo under the blazing afternoon sun!

Coincidentally, the mood of this photo seems to reflect the rough week that I had due to some personal issues which I will not disclose here. All I can say is, I’ve finally understood the real meaning of the adage “true friends are only found in times of adversity”.

Perhaps everyone had different expectations, so perhaps nobody’s to blame for the situation. But I’m disappointed because of the way we were trampled on despite all that we have done, and while we all wish things could have been different, what is done is done and now it’s time for us to move on, come what may. Our worries and actions may have come to naught, but I always believe that every cloud has a silver lining. I believe tomorrow will always be a brand new day and that it’ll always be better than yesterday. 🙂

We are willing to forgive, but will the level of trust ever be the same again? I really don’t have the answer to that. Only time will tell.

Whatever happens, we will only wish the best for you, as always.

To cheer myself up for my dental visit yesterday afternoon, I decided to put together an outfit with some of my favourite details such as floral print, ruffles, the colour pink and diamontes. This photo above was taken right after my wisdom tooth surgery so if you look closely, you’ll probably notice that my left cheek is a little swollen. I look like a chipmunk with a huge fishball stuck in my mouth.

I had two of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday (normal extraction for the upper tooth and surgery for the bottom tooth) and to my surprise, the experience was completely painless. I’m not sure if the pain will only strike in a day or even a few days’ time but I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed that this ordeal will be over in a jiffy.

I’ll write about my experience in another day or two so that I can give a more accurate account, so stay tuned if you’re interested to find out more. 🙂

Some ladies requested for a full length photo of what I wore in my Peperoni Pizzeria post . Well, here it is. 😉 I’ve reworn this ensemble on several occasions with different shoes, bags and accessories. The pretty mini luggage tote was a birthday gift from Andrina some time back.

Speaking of Andrina, we had so much fun shopping for affordable vintage clothes over the weekend at Bugis Village!

I bought this pink floral dress below.

But I was wondering if I should have gotten this grandma style-inspired dress as well. I’m smittened with the lace collar but somewhat doubtful about the colour and print.

On second thought, it makes me look like a school teacher from the 1970s. Haha.

Is it a yay or nay for you? (Tell me nay so I can save some money ok?:P)

The weather here has been so unbearable that layering is not an option, so the next best alternative is to play around with different fabrics/details and accessorize with a statement necklace.

I especially adore my tiered lace shorts from Hong Kong because it is somewhat dressy yet casual at the same time. Perfect for a spot of shopping amid the sweltering heat.

What’s your favourite summer look like?

Hope everyone’s having an amazing weekend! Sleeping in and having late brunch are two of my favourite weekend activities. What are yours? 😀

Anyhow, it was a blessing in disguise because otherwise, we wouldn’t have tried their Truffle Mushroom Sandwich, which was an absolute delight. The rich fragrance of truffle oil was a perfect complement to the flavour of the mushrooms.

Yitian swears by their coffee. I swear by plain water here because the only non-coffee item on their menu is hot chocolate, which isn’t spectacular.

It was awfully crowded on a weekday. In fact, after we took this shot, all the tables around us were promptly occupied way before lunch time!
