com sinusite... e mais novidades!

(Lisboa)

Estou desde segunda da semana passada na cama. Passei a primeira semana convencida que estava com gripe, tomei medicação para a doença e no Sábado fui ao hospital às urgências para descobrir que a minha "gripe" era, afinal, uma sinusite (ainda não sei se viral ou bacteriana). Isto de estar na cama durante tanto tempo é aborrecido. Morar numa cidade destas, ver o solinho lá fora (coisa rara) e ter tantas dores de cabeça e tonturas cada vez que me levanto é deprimente.

Hoje, cansada de ter peninha de mim mesmo, apeteceu-me escrever em Português. Ontem dei por mim  a fazer uma pesquisa na internet acerca do tema: "Leões, Tigres, Ligres e Tigreões" e, quando dei por mim estava a escrever "Liões", até que lancei um segundo olhar para a palavra que tinha acabado de escrever e me apercebi que aquilo visualmente não parecia certo. Duuuuuh, Menina dos Óculos, um ano em Terras de Sua Majestade e já estás assim?! "Leão", mulher, "Leão"! Isto pareceu-me mais que pretexto para voltar aos textos em Português, que serão ocasionalmente traduzidos para Inglês, consoante a minha vontade. Este blogue é bilingue, vá! E hoje sinto-me particularmente revoltada por estar tão hesitante a escrever na minha própria língua. É uma sensação desagradável e espero não senti-la de novo. Estou-me nas tintas para o Acordo Ortográfico, como já vos expliquei anteriormente, mas sinto que estou em falta para com a minha língua, o Português Pré-Acordo Ortográfico.

Das férias, ficaram as boas recordações, umas fotografias giras e muitas saudades dos que ficaram por Portugal. Também ficou a decisão de marcar a cerimónia para o casamento religioso, que será, em princípio, e se tudo correr conforme o esperado, a 14 de Dezembro de 2013. Já começamos os preparativos e a contenção nas despesas (um grande ar de desconsolo pode ver-se na minha cara neste momento). Estou a tentar convencer-me que vai ser só por um ano, e depois é rambóia de novo. Prometo manter-vos informadas.

Algumas das imagens marcantes das férias seguem abaixo. Como se costuma dizer que mais vale uma imagem que mil palavras, deixo-vos com as minhas 1001 palavras, traduzidas em fotografia.



I've been in bed with sinusitis for more than a week now. Returning to the blog seemed the best option today, to make my day a bit less depressing.

Although I've returned to work in London, I keep the pleasant memories and the photos from my holidays. Apart from that, a big decision was made by me and Mr. Bubbly on our summer holidays: our religious wedding is scheduled for the 14th December 2013. We still have enough time to plan it, but we've already started. It is never too early to start, I guess, at least when you have such strict and clear ideas about your wedding day.

And here are my holiday pictures, just for you. Hope you enjoy them.

in love with...



They're not in my closet (YET) but aren't they the loveliest?

They are the latest JC Skulltini. They are black leather loafers with gorgeous golden skulls studded all over them. I'm definitely craving for them.

MUST. WAIT. TO. BUY. 
CONTROL. THE. IMPULSE. 
YOU. ARE. STRONG.
BREAAAATHE. :)

Have a look! 

You can find these gorgeous at solestruck.com, more precisely HERE. I love this website! Although it takes a long time for orders to arrive to the UK (it's a US website and we do have to pay custom duties and VAT), it's totally worth the wait and the money, because you can find models here that you wouldn't be able to buy otherwise, as they're not for sale neither at stores in London nor through UK online shopping. websites.

Hope you enjoyed the news!

Enjoy your day and follow me on

my adorable new babes

I am not tall. Actually if there was one thing I could change about my body, it would definitely be my height. It's not that I'm short, but I'm not tall as well, and since this has always been an issue for me, I feel like a little elf (I bet some of you know what I mean, don't you?)

So, I am a high-heel person. And as much as I do love wearing my comfy Converse, I can't live with my quality high-heel shoes. That was the reason why I ordered a pair of Jeffrey Campbell's Lita Espana (the platform is slightly higher than in the regular Litas). I chose the Mustard Suede Distressed colour, because I love the fact it will easily match with most colours and at the same time it's not one of the most common colours in Litas.

Although the JC Litas bring nothing new - they're quite common actually, particularly within the fashionists and bloggers' circle - they will most certainly make miracles for my wardrobe. Main reason: they're as comfortable as my trainers - THEY REALLY ARE! Whenever I looked at them before, I couldn't help but to think 'Gosh, that must be painful' and although all the reviews stated the opposite, that was the reason pushing me back from buying them. The fact is I already have too many pain-inflicting shoes; no need for a new pair. But I had to try them, so I visited solestruck.com website and ordered a pair. Check mine here. Oh, and if you're willing to buy a pair, bear in mind: they run one size smaller.

Well, needless to say I have now my eyes on some other JC shoes, probably some regular Litas will follow (in a couple of months...). I simply loved these ones. :)

Here's the result:

and WE ARE...


Spanish fun

Yesterday, we went to a sort of Spanish wine, tapas, music and lifestyle festival taking place at the Fields Park in London. It was The Rioja Festival and was actually really good - especially THE FOOD. Okay, I'll give you that, and the wine too.

Here, the photos of the day for you:
