Weekend in Brighton – the outfits

October 7, 2013

As I mentioned and posted about last week, I spent a weekend in Brighton with the hubby. As we don’t live in the same country, our honeymoon continues! Brighton was the perfect place to spend a nice and full weekend, doing what we enjoy the most – sharing travelling experiences together. This is what I wore, on the 2 days we spent together.

Pleather Jacket – H&M, Sequin Dress – Topshop, via Ebay, Long Sleeve tee and Tights – Primark, Glittery Trainers – Springfield, Cat Bag – Ahcahcum Muchacha

As you can see it was very windy and my hair was made into a mess. That didn’t stop me from having my photo taken in front of this beautiful gypsy wagon.

On Sunday the sun smiled at us and we could enjoy a little snooze on the beach. Headscarf – Zara, Pleather Jacket and Bruce Springsteen tee– H&M, Necklace – Tatty Devine (on sale), Skater Skirt – Ebay, Red Boots – Dr Scholl (via Tk Maxx).

I’m joining the party over at Patti’s Visible Monday, and Judith’s Hat Attack won’t you join us too?

Jump for Joy

September 23, 2013

I must say I have been having a few reasons to jump for joy lately. One of them being my new job – I’m loving it! I am now working in marketing and it is so much more interesting and challenging than my previous position. I can say I have learned a lot in my first week and hopefully I will be able to put it to practice in this little corner of mine, given time and energy. Other than that, I have been to London on Saturday to meet with the ever fabulous Suzanne from Mon Idee Fixe. More on that to come during the week!

The Summer has now come to an end sadly, but I still have some sunny outfits to share, one of them being this one:

Details: Head Scarf – vintage souvenir scarf from Rome, thrifted in Florida, T-shirt – Band tee from Los Campesinos (although they don’t seem to have it anymore). It is a joke on the classic Andy Warhol banana design for the Velvet Underground cover. Mustard Bolero – H&M (thrifted), Skirt – H&M (via Ebay), Heart Bracelet – H&M (from one of my trips to NYC), Sunnies – Pucci, Jelly Sandals– Coach (both via TK Maxx)

I’m joining all the lovely ladies over at Patti’s Visible Monday. Won’t you pay them a visit?

Office Looks – Totally Inappropriate Looks for the Office

August 26, 2013

How are you guys? Nothing better than doing an Office Looks post while I’m on holiday. That’s right, by the time you read this, I’ll be sat on the beach 😀

The theme this time is pattern mixing and on two very different looks. Which one is your favourite?

All of the items in this ensemble have been around for a few years. The top and skirt are from H&M, the sandals from Swedish Hasbeens, for H&M and the red bow on my stripy top is from Springfield.

This was one of those ideas that looked better in my head than the actual outfit but I still went with it anyway. I’m all about experimenting! Both the shirt and the trousers are stripy, although it’s not that apparent due to the glare. The shirt is Diane Von Furstenberg and I picked it up for something like 2 dollars ina charity shop in Florida. The trousers are Ralph Lauren and I got it from TJ Maxx, also in Florida. The bag in turn I got it from TK Maxx, here in the UK. The scarf is vintage and was a present from the lovely Andrea from Teetoo. The accessories are a mix of Matalan (that I got for the makeover photos) and gifted by another lovely Canadian, Ariane from Style Sud Est. The shoes are Modekungen and were one of those purchases that although it wasn’t on sale, I had to have them…

I did a matching manicure!

I swear it doesn’t get any better than these perspex heel shoes! They are quite surreal. I am joining the party over at Patti’s Visible Monday, as it has become a habit I don’t want to quit!

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?

August 18, 2013

Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong? Who knows? This is probably one of the most ‘adventurous’ outfits I’ve worn to work in the past few months.  Somehow I’m not too happy with the proportions, for some reason it seems like it looked better when I saw it in the mirror. I think I need to play around with these mid length skirts and find what really works. I suppose I would substitute the flatforms for a pair of platform heels. What do you think?

Details: Headscarf – Vintage souvenir from Rome found in the US, Cardigan – Wet Seal (on sale, cost 2 cents of a dollar), Bag – Swap with my friend Lili, Stripy Beetlejuice Skirt – Internacionale (on sale), Tshirt – Meadham Kirchhoff for Topshop, Flatforms – Kurt Geiger (via TK Maxx), Ring – Present from the lovely Ariane at Style Sud-Est

As always, I’m joining Patty and all the other lovely ladies at Visible Monday. Have a lovely and fruitful week!

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.
