My friend Andrea makes the prettiest handmade crochet accessories! She even started her own brand, called le Carré – You may have noticed the link to her shop in the side bar already.
She sent me this adorable pair of cuffs but she also makes some really lovely collars, for both humans and cats. The cat crochet collars make me squeal with so much cuteness, you should go over and take a look!

It seems that Summer is finally here and with that, the smell of barbecue can be felt all around. My friend Daniela invited us round and we had a lovely day just eating, sitting in the sun, playing with Sasha and not doing much else. Perfect!

Outfit details: Sunglasses – H&M, Top – George, I think, Skirt – Primark, Sandals – Irregular Choice (via Ebay).

The skirt, unbelievably, is from Primark. I think that it looks like a novelty 50’s skirt, with all those stamps and letters. The sandals are inspired by traditional Japanese geta shoes. They’re more comfortable than what they might look like and no, I didn’t fall over! I’m joining Patti’s Visible Monday! Edited to add: also shared at Tres Chich Fashion Thursday at Mama and More.

Have you started barbecue season yet?

Where the wild things are

Where the wild things are

There’s a creature hiding in the woods. Is it a nice creature or will it come and eat your heart? Not all creatures are bad, I think.

Morocco outfits

January 27, 2014

Hi guys! I still have lots of interesting things to say about Morocco so I thought I’d get the outfits out of the way, all at once and progress to useful guides and suggestions posts next. I’ll be writing about nice places to see, fun things to do and delicious things to eat, so stay tuned.

Dress – Alice Temperley (via TK Maxx), Scarf – Zara, Belt – Primark, Shoes – Carvela (via TK Maxx)

I had plenty of orange juice while in Morocco, it was everywhere, it was delicious and it was dirt cheap!

Moroccan leather slippers – present from my in-laws. I love the hearts and stars on them.

Dress – Nishe (blog sale), Cardigan – Primark, Scarf – Oscar de La Renta (via TK Maxx), Leather bag – thrifted in Oxfam.

More orange juice! I love the scarf, it was a present from Jo at Fe-line.

A comfortable outfit – Coat – H&M (via Ebay), Shirt – Alice Temperley, Polkadot Jeans – Lavo Jeans (both via TK Maxx), Glitter Trainers – Springfield

I look a bit disheveled, this was taken right after we visited the hammam, the Moroccan spa. It was bliss, I must say. Polkadot Red Dress – H&M (via Ebay), Tshirt – Primark

Scorchio!

August 12, 2013

I have come to realize that I don’t know what to wear in the heat anymore… these last couple of weeks of continuous warm weather have certainly caught me by surprise! At least the temperatures are not as high as I used to endure back home in Portugal… The Summer and the high temperatures lasted for months and some nights it was impossible to sleep, as no one really has AC.

So here are a couple of looks from the past few weeks:

Details: the Ultimate Loser tank top – Ashish for Topshop, Skirt – River Island, Sunnies – Moschino, Beads – thrifted, Shoes – Swedish Hasbeen s for H&M

Details of the somewhat more grownup and more work appropriate look: Beaded Top: Clements Ribeiro (via TK Maxx), Skirt – H&M (swap with my friend Lili), Polkadot Sandals – Primark

The weather has been so nice I felt more confident to invest in more sandals, can you believe that? It’s the first time that happened in the last 3 years I’ve been in England. In the meantime, I wish you all a great week and don’t forget to check out all the other lovely ladies at Visible Monday.
