SHY

Sunday was day for a long stroll. We woke up in the morning and went to the nearest park to play football (I tried!!!), badminton and to throw the flying saucer (just so that you know it was windy, so it was 'fun' [read 'hilarious'] to watch, but hard to play). We had pancakes for lunch (I'll soon be fatter than Peter Griffin) and went out again. We didn't do anything special actually, just relaxed. Working days are so much stressful it feels amazing not to have plans for one day or the other.

I'm posting my look for the day: relaxed & easy. Oh, remember this shirt? You can see it here as well.

Wearing:

Topshop dress, River Island men's shirt and black & white skull bracelet, 

Zara scarf and brown leather belt, Urban Outfitters grey V and golden skulls bracelet, 

Casio golden watch.

Enjoy your Tuesday the best way.

velvet & bows @ the tube station

I've always been fascinated with bows and ribbons, what can I do?!

Sometimes I simply opt for girly girl looks, others I just go with the flow and mix some styles. Most of you will probably hate this look and say: "God, is she smoking weed?!" and the answer is "No!", I'm just feeling confident enough (be scaaaareeeed, guys!) to go for a more creative view when it comes to fashion. So, why not?! Mix soft velvet, with bows, some old biker boots and a tunic and this is the result. Hope you like the post!

Sempre fui fascinada por laços e fitas,

que posso fazer?!

Às vezes opto pelos looks super-femininos; outras vou na onda e mistura alguns estilos, só porque sim. A maior parte de vocês vai detestar o look e dizer: "Minha nossa, que lhe deu na cabecinha? Terá andado a fumar erva?" e a resposta é: "Não!", estou só a sentir-me suficientemente confiante (tenham meeeedoooo) para dar largas à minha criatividade no que toca a moda. Mas então, porque não? Mistura-se veludo do fofinho, com laços, umas biker boots velhas, e uma túnica e este é o resultado. Espero que gostem do post!

Yesterday I was looking at some of my photos and figured out there are some cute looks I didn't manage to publish on my blog. Sometimes I simply couldn't find enough time for it or didn't have my laptop around so I would just skip this or that post. Today I will start a new topic on my blog: "past looks". The one I chose for today is a night outfit I wore last year during a short trip to Oporto with Mr. Bubbly. It's simple and comfortable and I like to think it is still classy and elegant. The combo "jumpsuit"/"black perfecto" worked really well with the camel high-heel shoes.


Ontem estava a passar os olhos por algumas fotos antigas e apercebi-me que tinha algumas de looks giros que ainda não tinha conseguido publicar no meu blogue. Às vezes, simplesmente não tinha tempo para isso ou não tinha o portátil por perto e a a oportunidade escapava-me. Hoje começo então um novo tópico/etiqueta no blogue: "looks do passado". O look que escolhi para hoje foi um outfit para a noite que usei no ano passado numa das minhas escapadelas ao Porto com o Mr. Bubbly. É simples e comfortável e, gosto de pensar, mesmo assim, com classe e elegante. A combinação jumpsuit/perfecto preto funcionou muito bem com os sapatos de salto em tom camel.

skulls strolling in London...

Yesterday London was incredibly sunny. So sunny, it looked like it wasn't London. However, and unfortunately, sun doesn't necessarily mean warm weather around here - actually it was quite cold. Even so, we decided to go for one of our favourite routes in London: it starts in Covent Garden (where else could it start other than Covent Garden, my fav spot, right?) and continues to Leicester Square, Piccadilly, Regent Street, Oxford Street/Bond Street/... - yeah, yeah, quite typical!:) We took some photos in the way. Hope you enjoy them!

Ontem o sol estava resplandecente em Londres. A presença do sol era tão evidente que mais parecia que não estava em Londres. Contudo, e infelizmente, por cá, sol não significa necessariamente calor - na verdade estava um dia de enregelar. Mesmo assim, nós decidimos fazer uma das nossas rotas preferidas cá em Londres: começa em Covent Garden (onde mais poderia começar, senão no meu sítio preferido de Londres?!) e continua por Leicester Square, Piccadilly, Regent Street, Oxford Street/Bond Street/... - sim, sim, é uma rota muito popular!:) Tirámos algumas fotografias no caminho. Espero que gostem!

stealing my boyfriend's clothes...

I am absolutely mad about oversized clothes. Which better way to find those than to sneakily visit our boyfriends' closets and borrow some of their shirts and sweaters?! Easy, ah?! And the best of it is that IT'S FOR FREE! :)

Eu sou totalmente louca por roupas tamanho XL (vá, no meu caso, basta um M masculino, que já fico tipo dentro de um saco de batatas). Que melhor maneira de encontrar estas peças do que visitar sorrateiramente os armários dos nossos namorados e "pedir emprestada" uma ou outra camisa ou, quiçá, uma camisolita? Fácil, não é?! E o melhor de tudo: É TUDINHO DE GRAÇA! :)

sunday, cold sunday

Yesterday we had a strolling day. We went to Hackney and London Fields and thought it is quite welcoming. However, we were expecting to go to Broadway Market (I had read at British Vogue it is a lovely place to go), but soon found out that it is only opened on Saturdays. At least we now have plans for Saturday. Anyway, I have lots to tell you about Hackney but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Today I'm posting my Sunday outfit. It was very cold (AGAIN) so I thought: "Why not wear my vintage faux-fur coat today?" It was the best idea I could possibly have. It is so cozy and warm. All my outfit is actually very vintage-inspired and, well, it is made of some vintage pieces of clothing and accessories I've been buying since my arrival to London. I am officially addicted to Vintage and in London the access to those sort of things is so much easier than it was when I was back in Portugal! Hope you enjoy my photos!:)

Ontem tirámos o dia para passear. Fomos a Hackney e a London Fields e chegámos à conclusão que é uma zona muito acolhedora. No entanto, estávamos à espera de ir a Broadway Market (eu tinha lido na British Vogue que é um MUST GO market), mas rapidamente descobrimos que só está aberto aos Sábados. Bem, pelo menos já temos planos para o próximo Sábado. De qualquer forma, tenho imensas coisas para vos contar acerca de Hackney, mas isso ficará para amanhã.

Hoje, o post será sobre o meu outfit de domingo. Estava muito frio (DE NOVO) e eu pensei: "Porque não usar o meu casaco faux-fur vintage?" Foi a melhor ideia que eu poderia ter tido! É tão aconchegante e quentinho. Todo o conjunto foi, na verdade, o resultado de inspiração vintage e, bem, é na verdade constituído por algumas peças vintage que tenho vindo a comprar desde que cheguei a Londres. Estou oficialmente viciada em Vintage e em Londres o acesso a peças vintage é tão mais fácil que em Portugal - o que é uma pena... Espero que gostem das fotos!:)

attempting a typical bridal pose in this one - didn't work though!:P

Good night BB!
