Plaza De España, Guam

Although the main purpose of my visit to Guam was for the Shop Guam Festival, Guam Visitors Bureau made sure our group would still be able to squeeze in a few sights and tourist spots every now and then. This girl has got to take a break from all the shopping after all, lest I go bankrupt with all the crazy sales.

So for our first tourist spot, we visited Plaza De España, one of the state’s remnants from the Spanish occupation. It houses the ruins of what used to be the Governor’s Palace. After World War II, only the three-arch gate to Almacen (Arsena), azotea or back porch, Chocolate House, tool shed and siesta shed remain standing. Although Plaza De España and its structures aren’t as grand as, say, Intramuros for example, they are still worth a visit. Historical places, big or small, will always have a certain charm to them. Each with its own story to tell.

      Thanks Angel! I don’t know as well. I really love what I do so I read a lot about fashion and trends, took a few fashion courses and the rest as they say is history :)

    The history of the place makes it so special that why even tho, it’s not as grand as Intramuros, you’d still appreciate it’s presence by knowing the history of it. I loveeee your dress!! The details, the pleats, the color, everything about it. If you sell this in BU, I’d totally buy this, for sure by then, I’ll be as sexy as you (i wish! Haha it’s so hard to have a big girl frame :( )

    So mysterious-looking! These historical ruins are a bit of the old world that lingers. In this set of pictures, you look like the vision on the edge of a dream, Miss Camille! That one beautiful detail that you always try to get a glimpse of and when you finally do, it’s what you remember vividly when awake. Seeing you in this place helps me imagine it all lit up in the olden days.

    You brought a lot of light to the setting. The turquoise of your dress lit up the interior of the ruins. The movement of the skirt in the 3rd and 5th photos are right on point! I like how it doesn’t bell out, but flows instead, following the movements of your walk. That last photo especially gave the highlights of the dress piece since the direction of how the fabric falls was evident in the movement.

    I think the top part of the dress was cunningly crafted to suit the weather you mentioned. You see these cutaways commonly now on off-the-rack sales, but the pretty lace embellishment makes up the difference somehow. I saw how it doesn’t crinkle, nor go in strange directions and shapes. The floral curlique patterns even amp up the look, instead of softening everything up. It wasn’t what I expected from a darker shade of pastel, but it left me pleasantly surprised. :-D Versatility in fun colors.

    Your earrings make you look more nymph-like. In the fourth to the last photo, I imagined the fountain to be a hidden spring where you live when you visit the mortal world. I rechecked the size of the earring jewel flowers though. Are they heavy? :-( But they’re clover-shaped, so they stand for good luck.

    The bag is another awesome find! I think you know of treasure houses where this color of blue is available, because for some reason, that indigo shade seems to elude me. )I have a meager few pieces only, and I happened to get lucky.) It’s an element of fun because of the see-through detail, and practical as well because the material is waterproof.

    P.S. Take a twirl photo of you in this dress! I know it’s a cheeky request, but the flowy aspect is too good to pass up! The fabric makes me think of candy floss!
