Outfit // Matching dots with stripes

Image
Coat - Choies | Skirt - H&M | Shirt, Belt & Tights - Primark |  Shoes - Calçado Guimarães Oops I did it again! Another dark outfit with only a colorful item, the shirt. I'm detecting a pattern here. I blame the cold weather, 80% of my winter clothes are either brown, grey or black. Spring, bring me some warm weather so I can wear more colorful jackets, please.  So everybody knows I love polka-dots and everybody knows I love stripes. This time I wore both at the same time and guess what, liked the way it looked! Did you? In a different subject, my blog had an extreme makeover (not finished yet, I'm lazy). Did you liked the change? Lá estou eu a cair novamente na minha combinação favorita: preto e mais preto com uma camisola a dar cor ao conjunto. Peças de Inverno dão nisto, a Primavera tem que se apressar com as boas temperaturas para me virar para casacos mais airosos... À partida pintas e riscas são uma combinação arriscada ( pun intended) e eu nã

Fashion // Spring is finally here

 All items from here . Time to say hello to Spring! This wasn't a bad Winter - not too long, not too dark - but melancholy starts to kick in after a couple of grey cold months, so I was looking forward to the arrive of sunny and warmer days.  Spring is synonym of loose blouses, thin sweaters, skirts and shorts paired with boots, and the return of ballerinas and oxford shoes. Still want to wear clothes with dark and warm shades, but matched with more bright and cheerful colors.  These good-looking clothing items are all from Choies , a great fast-fashion online shop with lots of pretty clothes at nice prices. Tempo de dar as boas-vindas à Primavera! Este Inverno não foi muito agressivo nem prolongado e eu gosto de todas as estações (todas têm as suas coisas boas) mas o Inverno só é agradável durante uns dois meses, depois a melancolia dá cabo de mim. Por isso é com agrado que recebo a nova estação. Primavera é tempo de camisas, de camisolas de malha leves e folgada

Outfit // Not 50 Shades of Grey but almost

 Jacket - Sheinside | Skirt & Bag - H&M | Shirt & Tights - Primark | Shoes - Calçado Guimarães A few weeks ago, for Valentine's Day,  I visited a lovely city here in Portugal, called Guimarães. Walked a lot, saw lovely houses and streets, had dinner in an adorable vegetarian restaurant, stayed at an hotel with a very good breakfast (gotta love hotel breakfasts) and didn't stop for a minute.  My almost monochromatic outfit (with the exception of the electric blue sweater) contrasted with my good mood, but it was a pretty comfortable set for walking around without feeling the cold weather. Only regretted choosing those shoes, not suited for long walks, trust me. Nunca tinha visitado Guimarães até muito recentemente. Num fim-de-semana, percorri quase todos os cantos da cidade, apaixonei-me pelas casas amorosas e as ruas estreitas e arranjadinhas, jantei num restaurante vegetariano amoroso (o Cor de Tangerina ), fiquei num hotel bastante bom com pequeno-alm

Healthy habits // Tea Detox

Nowadays, there are many ways you can detox your body and one of them is drinking tea. Some time ago, I had the opportunity to try the Tiny Tea Teatox, a special herb mix designed to assist with bloating, indigestion, cellulite, excess of weight and lack of energy.  Nos dias de hoje, há muitas maneiras de fazer detox e uma delas é bebendo chá. Há um tempo atrás tive a oportunidade de experimentar o Tiny Tea Teatox , uma mistura de ervas que se propõe a minimizar problemas como indigestão, inchaço abdominal, celulite e excesso de peso, bem como falta de energia.  Never did a detox before, but I drink tea everyday so I was looking forward to do this! The goal was to drink this tea 3 times a day, 30 minutes before or after meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), during 14 days. Eu nunca me preocupei com detox, mas tenho o hábito de beber chá todos os dias, por isso aceitei com bom grado a experiência. O objetivo era beber o chá 3 vezes por dia, 30 minutos antes ou depois da
