Goths in hot weather

July 17, 2013

Oh my, it’s been sooo hot in the UK, it almost feels like I am back home in Portugal! Who would have thunk it? Last weekend I nearly died with the heat in London… photos yet to be shared as I’m still editing them. I took so many photos that it’s a bit hard to pick just a few for the blog.

Anyways, here’s a couple of outfits, with a variation on the same theme- a black and white patterned peplum top mixed in with some very roomy and also patterned palazzo pants. Mixing patterns is so much fun, although it does get some dirty looks in the office here and there…

Deet deets – Shoes and top – Target, Polkadot Palazzo Pants – Comme des Garcons for H&M, Bracelet – H&M, Necklace – Ebay, Glasses–  Gok Wan for Specsavers

Deet deets: Blazer and head bow – H&M, Top and socks – Next, Shoes – Office, via Ebay, Palazzo Pants – Zara (on sale, on my trip to Belgium)

Which one is your favourite?

They call me mellow yellow…

June 24, 2013

I look like an alien or like I have some sort of disease but I like it and that’s all that matters.

These were taken a couple of weeks ago and as I finally wore one of the dresses I got from the Brussels Vintage Market, I thought I’d share those photos along with the outfit. I really enjoyed visiting this market – there was a lot of variety and prices for every purse. I brought back a couple of gems, including the dress you see above. If you live in the UK, I definitely recommend hopping on the Eurostar (less than a £100 there and back, bargain!) and doing a little vintage shopping expedition.

Details: Dress – Vintage (from the Brussels Vintage Market), Shoes – Office (via Ebay), Ombre Tights – Ebay, Head Scarf – Rumours Vintage, Amsterdam.

I am adding this post to Patti’s Visible Monday over at Not Dead Yet Style.

Office Looks 3 – Totally Inappropriate looks for the Office

May 11, 2013

To be sane in a world of madmen is in itself madness.

(Jean Jacques Rousseau)

Given the above, I choose to be mad and wear what makes me happy to my workplace. Although this has been my second week at home like a beached whale in bed recovering from the op, I still have office outfits to share, so here we go now. Wooo!

And you ask, why is this inappropriate? Because it’s fun! You’re not supposed to have fun at work! lol

Details : Leopard Coat – Bershka, Cardigan – Vintage, Stripy Tshirt – Zara, Dress – Nishe (via Ebay), Shoes – Dr Martens (via Paige Joanna), Bag – Target, Bee Ring – Pedra Dura (present from friends in Lisbon)

This one is a favourite among children. Children and I have a lot in common when it comes to taste in clothes.

Details – Jacket – Monki (from a swap with Lili), Scuba Top – H&M (via Ebay), Skater Skirt – Ebay, Bag – Ahcahcum Muchacha, Rainbow Platform Shoes – Office Outlet on Ebay

So here I am waiting for all the bruising to heal and become less painful. I should be going back to the grind stone on Monday. How was your week?

Office looks

April 27, 2013

As posting outfit photos hastily taken at the office parking lot is somehow becoming a bit of a habit, I thought I’d inaugurate a new Saturday feature called ‘Office Looks’, in which I share my totally inappropriate looks for the office. Like I said last week, I dread the day I will have to tone down my outfit silliness for the sake of work. For now and while I can, I’ll make the most of it.

As the weather is finally getting nicer, I thought I’d share the last of the Winter looks I have shot by Frankie, my lunchtime photographer so next week I can move on to nicer weather gear. The common theme with this one is obviously the jacket. It is grey as the weather and I like it a lot,  I’ve been wearing it quite often.

Details: Jacket – Zara (trade with Lili), Jumper – Gharani Strok (via TK Maxx), Skirt – H&M Trend (via Ebay), Boots – Office (via Ebay), Bag – Target (from my latest trip to Florida), Beret – It belonged to my Mum in the 80’s.

The boots are really high and I can’t walk all that well in them – although they are marked my size, they are a tad too big. Sadly, I may have to let them go because of this. If you wear a UK size 6 and are interested let me know as they might fit you properly. I think Vix has similar ones in grey. (Oh, and they are black, although they look midnight bluey on the photo – I wish!)

Details – Jacket – Zara (trade with Lili), Dress – H&M Trend (via Ebay), Bag – Target, Tights – Primark, Boots – Irregular Choice (via Ebay), Scarf – Vintage Souvenir from Rome scarf,(thrifted in Florida)

How crazy are these? One of the silliest pair of shoes I own. And you know I own quite a few…

Anyway, I hope you like this new feature. Which outfit is your favourite?
