Jacket & Skirt - C&A | Socks - Calzedonia | Sweater & Bag - Wholesale-dress | Wellies - Jumbo This was the first time I wore wellies! Very strange feeling, It seems they reduce mobility, however, found them comfortable, they didn't hurt my feet. Still don't find them particularly flattering to the female figure, but when you have to walk a lot and It's rainy, it's necessary. Many of you liked this sweater, it's from Wholesale-dress and it's very comfy and does not  shed, which is a very good thing. I'm been wearing it a lot, along with my new bag (finally a red bag for my collection!) Esta foi a primeira vez que calcei umas galochas! Aproveitei o facto de o Jumbo lançar estas galochas com um preço muito convidativo para experimentar. Estranhei muito, parece que me reduzem a mobilidade por ficar mais volumosa, no entanto, achei-as confortáveis, não magoam os pés. Continuo a não achar as galochas particularmente femininas nem f...

Giveaway - Pearl Necklace

Image
Don't know what's your opinion about purchasing second hand clothes, but I'm all in, as long as they are in good condition and the price is fair (it means not costing as if they were new). Do not care for brands, if a piece is cute and I like it, I'll wear it and that's it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Zara, H&M and so on, but the clothes are getting so expensive (for such low quality), I prefer to find more affordable options and more exclusive, since I'm not apologist of wearing the same thing everyone's wearing. So, I'm here to let you now about a project a friend o'mine: Hand To Hand is an online page where several people sell their clothes at very attractive prices. Now I've a giveaway for my readers, but only for Portugal, sorry girls, next time I include you! Não sei qual é a vossa opinião acerca da compra de roupas em segunda mão, mas eu sou totalmente a favor, desde que estas se encontrem em bom estado e o p...

DETAILS - necklace, creams & nail polishes

Image
This crazy weather is making me nuts, sometimes warm like a summer day, other times really cold and rainy. This instability clearly interferes with my routine, which is why I haven't taken many photos. That and the fact that now at 6 pm daylight is already fading away. Oh well. You see those creams? They were offered by Rosie from Terrible Rosie and the orange body butter is being used extensively, when finished I will definitely buy a bigger one, the scent is divine. At Joana from Viver num T0 , I have to thank the varnishes, I needed more autumnal colors and these have fantastic colors and excellent durability. Este tempo maluco está a dar comigo em doida, ora está um calor digno de um dia de verão, ora está frio e a chover torrencialmente. Esta instabilidade interfere com a minha rotina, razão pela qual não tenho tirado muitas fotos. Isso e o facto de agora às 18 horas já escurecer. Oh well. Daqueles cremes, oferecidos pela Rosie do Terrible Rosie , a body bu...

Yummy! // Brigadeiros (chocolate fudge truffles)

Image
Today when I came home I had the pleasure to have this surprise awaiting me. My boyfriend is brazilian so he can do the best brigadeiros (a brazilian sweet that's like a bonbon) I ever ate. So we have a deal, I make the cakes and cookies and he make the brigadeiros. Try this, it's an easy recipe! Brigadeiros Ingredients: - 1 can sweetened condensed milk - 2 tablespoons Nesquik powder - 1 tablespoon butter  - chocolate sprinkles or grated coconut (frosting) In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine cocoa, butter and condensed milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest until cool enough to handle. Form into small balls and cover with chocolate sprinkles or grated coconut. Hoje quando cheguei a casa tive o prazer de ter esta surpresa à minha espera. O meu namorado é brasileiro por isso sabe fazer uns brigadeiros mesmo bons, dos melhores que já comi. Então temos uma espécie de acordo: Eu faço bolos e b...

Halloween Ideas for DIYs

Image
See the tutorials here:  Spider sunglasses | Bat headband  |  Bat bow tie  |  Spider loafers Don't know about you, but I love Halloween. In fact, I support any excuse to wear clothes and accessories that normally wouldn't. When this date approaches, I spend many many hours on the internet, finding inspiration. These four images caught my attention: small DIYs easy to do, I think they're creative and appealing. With a mere accessory, we can get into the spirit, without the need to spend money on costumes. Now I want to know: Do you celebrate Halloween? Não sei quanto a vocês, mas eu adoro o Halloween. Aliás, eu apoio qualquer pretexto para usar roupas e acessórios que normalmente não usaria. Festas temáticas, Halloween, Carnaval... Todas dão azo a muitas horas perdida na internet para encontrar inspiração. Aliás, tenho pena que em Portugal não se dê muita importância ao Halloween, lentamente começam a surgir festas nesta noite, mas não há a t...

Leather jacket & Blue skirt

Image
Jacket - C&A | Skirt - Primark | Shirt - Vintage The cold weather is here for good. When I'm home, my blanket follows me everywhere.  My beloved leather jacket, already worn in previous years, returned to the day light. Like it so much, when I look out the window and see it's raining, this jacket is my first choice. Although the leather is synthetic, it still looks brand new. It's a must-have in any closet indeed!  O tempo frio já se faz sentir. E eu que sou uma friorenta já ando por casa enrolada em mantas.  O meu leather jacket, já tão usado nos anos anteriores, voltou ao activo. Gosto muito dele, quando olho pela janela e vejo que está a chover, é ele a minha primeira escolha. Apesar de ser em pele sintética ainda está como novo, pena é ser um tamanho acima porque fui emagrecendo. É mesmo uma peça essencial no armário, é inegável!
