What's Your Fashion Statement?

As you might have noticed, I tend to fall in love with this dreamy idea fashion creations carry in delicate seams. I look a lot into the past for inspiration as the future alone is not enough. I also worship Haute Couture and, even though I can't afford it, I try to learn some style lessons from the big masters.

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture SS13

Do you want to know how does this come alive in my everyday life and which are the items I can't do without?

Marie Antoinette

Your wait is over!

Lesson nº 1: Faux-fur:

Layer and layers! Coats, collars over coats, stoles over souls! Find your harmony and get cosy, stylish and chic. Très chic!

Lesson nº2: High Heels!
They're my basic of basics!

Oh, that's right! I got used to wearing them every day, everywhere (no, I don't wear them to the gym or sleep in them... yet! =P ). Well, to be honest I feel quite unconfortable in shoes lower than 2,5 - 3cm. And fortunately there are pretty comfortable heels to suit a busy everyday life :) Those sky high needle heels are kept for speacial occasions only!

Everyday Wedges

Day to Night golden heel ankle boots

Special Occasions nude pumps

Lesson nº3: Royal Bijoux
I need big rocks and romantic pearls to brighten my days and dazzle my nights!

Lesson nº4: Hats and Turbans

Hats and turbans are something I've always creved from the old glorious time of the couturiers. There's definitely an exotique allure in them.

Lesson nº5: Big Tote

I need to carry my life everywhere I go, so a big bag is absolutelly essential!

For now that's all! Hope ti have inspired you with this sneak peek into these lovely beauties I wear almost everyday! ;)

Thanks Mari and Donna! Loved your initiative ;)

Hello December! Hello party time!

Dezembro traz inverno. Dezembro traz Natal. Dezembro traz frio de rua e calor de lareira. Dezembro sabe a canela. Dezembro embrulha-se em brilho e desabrocha em luzes trémulas de ouro. Dezembro enche-nos o coração... E veste-se de festa!!!

December brings in Winter. December brings in Christmas. December makes the streets cold delicious and the fireplaces heat heart-warming. December tastes like cinnamon. December gets wrapped up in shines and blossoms in feathery lights of gold. December fills up our hearts... And gets dressed for the party!!

3. Batom vermelho (não só por ser uma cor bem festiva, mas porque cai quase sempre bem).

3. Red lipstick (not only because it is a pretty festive colour, but for looking almost always nice).

4. Máscaras e plumas (Vá lá! Haverá acessórios de festa melhores?).

4. Masks and feathers (Oh, come on! Are there any better party accessories?)

Out of the Closet: Posh Drama

Pêlo, bordeax, beringela, saltos agulha, batom vermelho e cabelo em desalinho.

Dramatismo de veludo sobre tensões de cetim.

Fur, bordeaux, aubergine, needle heels, red lips and messy hair.

Velvet dramas over satin tensions.

Uma overdose de rubis e venenos escarlates.

An overdose of rubis and scarlet poisons.

Casaco / Jacket - Primark

Camisola / Top, Saia / Skirt e Sapatos / Shoes - Zara (estações passadas / previous seasons)

Colar / Necklace - Zara FW12

Batom / Lipstick - Chanel

Mais tarde, as tensões mudam de figura.

Later, the tensions change.

Intensificam-se. Abismam-se.

They grow intense into some abyss.

E perdem-se... Bem longe da perfeição de porcelana.

And they get lost... Faraway from the perfection of porcelain.

Vestido / Dress - Fairly

Sapatos / Shoes - Café Noir

Brincos / Earrings - Parfois

Batom / Lipstick - Chanel

Chávena / Tea Cup - Zara Home

Sneak Peek ;)

Prometido é devido e, portanto, já podem dar uma espreitadela ao shooting de ontem à tarde.

As I've promised, here's your sneak peek at yesterday shooting.

Se para bom entendedor meia palavra basta, devem já ter percebido que nem todas estas fotografias vão contribuir para a mesma coisa... Sim, tenho aqui pano para mangas! :p Ou melhor, assunto para vários posts!

As you might have realised, not all of these pictures are contributing to the same subject... Oh yeah, they'll give a lot to blog about!:p

Moda Lisboa Pulse: Day 2

Moda Lisboa Pulse

Lisboa Fashion Week

Primavera/Verão 2013

Spring/Summer 2013

Aproveitei o início do dia para explorar algumas ruas de Lisboa. Há sempre alguma coisa por descobrir. E sabe-me sempre bem sentir o ar de uma cidade cosmopolita e cheia de história pela manhã.

I took some time to wander the streets of Lisbon. There's always something to discover. And it always feel so good to feel the airs of a cosmopolitan and historic city to start the day.

E, claro, ver umas montras também fez parte do meu programa ;)

And, of course, window shopping was part of it ;)
