The Holidays Season

I love the holidays season, it feels so magical. It's all about family and loved ones. Giving and sharing. Union. I cherish these special moments.
I wish a wonderfull season to you all.

SALES

The sales have officially begun or the shopping fight :)
The sales are a great opportunity to get good pieces for a great price, but for that a surgical eye and  good muscles in the arms ;) are needed! This time of year is ideal to purchase good basics, the ones that never go out of trend, and invest in quality pieces. Quality over quantity!
Here's the opportunity to buy a great leather jacket, a fantastic trench coat, a
black/camel coat, a pair of proper fit jeans, nice tailored trousers, wool jumpers and cardigans and so on.

Quality and good discounts are the words of command!

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas

Last minute gifts

 

It's amazing how every year I always forget something and I have to rush on the 24th to buy the last minutes gifts.
Here are some ideas for every type of budget, with this economical crisis every euro has to be well spent.

J'adore Dior and this commercial

Christmas Ideas for him

I leave here some ideas for Christmas gifts for him. 

#3 Perfume Addiction

What about Acqua di Giorgio Armani?!

This is the kind of commercial that people (women) stop whatever they are doing to stare at the tv or at the billboards.

"I am the captain of my soul"

Mandela's memorial

#2 Perfume addiction

Another great ad, 212 VIP by Carolina Herrera.
Everyone wants to be on that party!

love it!

Are you on the guest list?

Perfume ads

Perfume ads always played a certain allure on me. Amazing places, gorgeous models, sexy songs, are some of the usual characteres of these ads. It's a fantasy! A fantasy in a bottle :) 
Who doesn't love a good perfume?



Chanel number 5 doesn't need introductions. This is The Perfume, so the ads could not be left behind.

This ad with Nicole Kidman and Rodrigo Santoro is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

My Christmas Wishlist

Isabel Marant pour H&M

The new collection of Isabel Marant for H&M is for some time available online to consult on their website. In Portugal the release of the collection is going to be this thursday, the 14 . For what I've seen on the web the collection is very tempting. Some of the pieces are a little pricy but most of them are very affordable and SO Marant. :)

Here are some of my favorites (even though one is for men)

The Sweatshirt

As we've been seeing from the past seasons the sweatshirt is no longer a gym garment, it's a statement piece. It can be worn with everything, from the pencil skirt to the suit pants. Conjugated with the right accessories and it can be a killer outfit.

I've been looking for some sweatshirts and here it is some very affordable suggestions. 

I know it's everything black, gray or white but hey, these colours are always in ;)

Zucchini Lasagna

Lately I've been doing some experiments on the kitchen. The latest one was this zucchini lasagna. Easy, cheap and ultra delicious!

Ingredients:

Courgettes
Meat (your choice) chopped or soy
Onions
Garlic
Tomato paste with garlic and onion
Olive oil
Parmesan or other grated cheese cosoante taste
Parsley
Oregano

Sauté the meat or soy, then join the tomato paste and herbs.

Slice the courgettes and arrange them in a container for baking. Fill the layers with the cooked mea. In the last layer of courgette put the grated cheese and put in the oven.

Et voilá!

[Amor]ino

I love finding new cool places to hung out, to grab a coffe or to enjoy a nice evening with friends while having something delicious. Last friday I've found a new amor(love) in Lisbon downtown, Amorino. I couldn't resist to a chocolate crepe :) , but the gelato seemed very tempting also!

Fall is here...

...and with it arrived my beloved chestnuts :)

L'Impératrice

New in :)

The description that I've found online:
 "Personality: The Star
 Flamboyant and energetic, for L'Impératrice life is a movie and she is its heroine. All heads turn when she enters a room. Vibrant, magnetic, she exudes charisma and force of character."

Summer love

Today, every year, the very beautiful 21 of july marks the start of summer, my favourite season. Every year apart from this one... Where are sun? Where are you heat? I'm really confused, did the poles swapped? Am I actually in the southern hemisphere instead of the northern?
Here is my appeal to you summer, see if you can show up ;)

InShopping

Another finding in the world of online shopping. Great brands with tempting deals. Meet The Outnet.

Shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist

When chocolate seems to be failing go to the next step, go shopping, window shopping, whatever kind of shopping, just go outside the house and explore the gazillions of clothes that can turn you into a knock out. So, last Wednesday in a attempt to cheer me up I went to Zara (a brand new and all remodel Zara :) ). I went inside and I die…! Apparently my heart is still working as I went crazy for all the colors,  fabrics, the backless dresses, the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. bags, it was nonstop. 
So thank you Zara to bring me a little joy.

Me, myself and I
