Autumn is synonymous of hot tea in pretty cups and freshly baked cakes. It's time to grab the blanket and cuddle on the couch watching TV, while listening to the rain outside. It's the good side of this season: the cult of comfort. Outono é sinónimo de chá quente em chávenas bonitas e de bolinhos acabados de fazer. É tempo de pegar na manta e de nos enroscarmos no sofá a ver televisão, enquanto se ouve a chuva lá fora.  É o lado bom desta estação: este culto ao conforto.

With lower temperatures, comes the need to wear socks to stay warm. But beyond it's purpose, I also consider them aesthetically pleasing, if well chosen. In my drawer I have two distinct sections: ordinary socks to be worn only under pants or boots, and pretty socks to be worn with skirts, dresses or short pants. Also, wearing heels with thick socks makes it much more comfortable. And you, heels with socks, yes or no? Com o tempo a esfriar cada vez mais, surge a necessidade de recorrer às meias para nos mantermos aquecidas. Porém, para além dessa sua função, também as considero esteticamente interessantes, desde que bem escolhidas. Na minha gaveta tenho duas secções bem distintas: meias vulgares para serem usadas unicamente debaixo das calças ou botas, e meias mais bonitas, com bolinhas ou rendadas, para ficarem bem visíveis, a acompanharem saias, vestidos ou calças que tenham a bainha mais subida. Além disso, usar saltos altos com meias grossas é muito mais confortável. ...

Zara Visited Zara's website, big mistake. When I saw these shoes, it was love at first sight. Love it or hate it, it's really one of those cases. I just hated the price, which makes it impossible for me to have a pair. 90 euros? Zara, Zara, you're getting very expensive. Aventurei-me pelo site da Zara, big mistake . Mal vi estes sapatos fiquei perdida de amores. Acho que são um daqueles casos em que ou se ama ou se odeia. Eu só odiei o preço, que me impossibilita de ter um par para mim. 90 euros? Zara, Zara, estás a ficar muito cara.

After a school week, Saturday was a day to relax: took this last drop of summer and went for a walk across my town, where the Molifest is happening, a cultural event that intends to promote local artists. Went to a Flea Market, there wasn't much that held my attention, but I bought some almost-new black shoes (one can't have too many of those) and a ring, that I offered to my mother 'cause she loved it. Total: 2.50 euros, not bad! At lunch, ate a Ben & Jerry's ice cream, 'cause I wanted to try this brand for a long time. Definitely a good ice cream and the packaging is adorable (yes, I'm talking about the clouds)! Depois de uma semana de aulas, Sábado foi dedicado à descontracção: Aproveitei este último restinho de Verão e de bom tempo e fui dar um passeio até à ria de Aveiro, onde estava a decorrer o Molifest, um evento cultural que envolve vários pontos da cidade e visa promover os artistas da região.  Dei uma volta pelo Flea Market, não ...

Met the 52 weeks of drawing challenge, it consists in drawing something related to you each week. Found it very interesting, but not for me 'cause I never complete any challenge (lose interest too soon) and, moreover, I have no talent whatsoever for illustration. But I felt like doing some drawings, so I chose to illustrate the 11th week of the challenge: My most recent accomplishment. Must say I'm not a girl that usually accomplishes things, I plan a lot, but 80% of the time end doing nothing. The blog, whose creation was made only after careful deliberation, is what I consider my most recent accomplishment. It's been five months and blogging is now part of my daily routine. The bed (or couch) is my job station, my Canon and Photoshop CS6 my tools and Tumblr, Pinterest and your blogs my inspiration. Although I no longer have black hair, that's how I imagine myself yet still. The red coat is my faithful companion, always carry one. And the Macbook is my belov...

I watch this movie every summer, it's a classic that I never get tired of. The songs, the dance, the plot, the very sexy Patrick Swayze, they all contribute to make this film so exciting. It isn't necessary to tell you about the story, I think, because you all have seen the movie, it's a must watch (and I don't even like movies about dancing). Basic shirts and shorts during the day, girlie dresses for the evening, these are the outfit choices Baby, the protagonist, makes. The denim shorts and white blouse tied around her waist (that you can see in the last picture above) are already and iconic look. Todos os verões vejo este filme, é um clássico do qual nunca me canso. As músicas, as danças, o enredo, o mui sexy Patrick Swayze, todos contribuem para tornar este filme tão cativante. Penso que não é necessário falar da história, pois já todas devem ter visto o filme, é um daqueles must watch (e eu nem sequer gosto de filmes sobre dança).  Camisas e ...
