Sometimes you just have to and there is nothing wrong with it. What am I talking about, you ask? Litas. Jeffrey Campbel’s ubiquitous shoe. I have seen them everywhere on the internet and it seems to be a fashion staple for anyone who calls herself a fashion blogger. Despite the fact that everyone and their mother seems to own a pair of these and it is becoming a bit annoying, I never disliked the shoe in itself and was curious to try them on and see what they looked like on me. I like their chunkiness and the fact that there are plenty of variations to choose from, my favourites being the glittery ones. I never considered investing in a pair of these as I’m not willing to fork out £120 for a pair of shoes I might not wear all that much. So one day I was in town,went into Internaçionale and lo and behold, they had a pair of fake ones for a mere £25.00. I decided that I could now test drive them without breaking the bank . So I brought the shoes home and now I know why so many people have them: they are comfy despite the height and very flattering. Even the bread man at the town market said I am his most stylish customer. (If the bread man says so, it must be true). I am even considering the possibility of treating myself to a pair of real ones – on sale preferably.
So here I am, like you’ve never seen me before, in Lita knock offs and skinny jeans!

Em primeiro lugar há que dizer que adoro esses laçarotes na cabeça!;) E esses espelhos estão muito bem pensados.
Quanto às botas,no início até achava piada, mas nunca pensei em comprar, porque não era muito o meu estilo. Entretanto já vi tantas que já não aguento!lol
Nunca descartei algo só porque toda a gente tem, mas a verdade é que às vezes há uma saturação tão grande, que a pessoa perde a vontade. Andava vidrada nuns colares e brincos da H&M, mas todas as bloggers tinham, de tal modo que me fartei e quando fui à loja já não lhes achei piada nenhuma. Agora há coisas que nunca me canso de ver, como uma mala Chanel, por exemplo. Aqui há imensa gente que tem, mas eu nunca me canso de ver, nem deixo de querer.
Enjoy the boots, stylish lady (essa do padeiro…cuidadinho com ele.lol);)
Beijinhos,

I've always loved them but can't justify the expense. I saw those a couple of weeks ago and was rather tempted to buy them and paint them! x
I love to try some trends as long as they don't make me look like I'm trying too hard. I think you look great in your skinnies and the scarf on your head makes it all come together as you.
Eu confesso que não gosto das litas, mas ficam-te bem 😉 Ficas super gira com os lenços no cabelo, eu também adoro usar assim :)) E acredito que o senhor do pão está certíssimo, deves ser a cliente mais fashion!!

oh you hipster!!! ahaha just kidding!
sinceramente nc fui fã de litas, e tb n ajuda as unicas vezes q os vi “ao vivo” serem em miudas de 16 anos q nem conseguiam andar neles, mas recentemente tb passei me para o “dark side” lol tendo comprado umas replicas com picos mas em versao sandalia (pq acho mais piada). e vamos a ver se sao confortaveis tb…
mas ate gosto de te ver com elas 🙂 alias tudo em ti fica bem*
I think you must wear/buy whatever you like, no matter it's trendy or not!, it's better to enjoy them looking fabulously tall and fashionista!
besos
I have seen them not a fan, but you should whatever you like in fashion or not!
