Makeup Basic Kit

Get the look

It had been a while since my last Get the Look and who else should I've chosen to feature in this post than the it girl Olivia Palermo?!
Oliva wore this effortlessly chic look at Tibi show during New York Fashion Week. 
She nailed it, as always!

Josefinas 1001 Noites

Josefinas, a portuguese shoes brand, doesn't stop to surprise me. It's unbelievable how this brand is growing especially when the brand operates in market niche, luxurious Ballerina flats. I seriously can't wait to own a pair, or a few pairs :)

This time, Josefinas launched a new line inspired in the world and tales of 1001 Nights, describing the line as The most luxurious adventure yet.

The first three pairs of the collection (Babylon, Persia and Jordan) conquered me as soon as I saw them and were meant to be an hit, but then the brand released their secret weapon, The Blue Persian Salt, which are the world most expensive ballerina flats.

Check these treasures:

Babylon/Babilónia - 265€

Jordan/Jordânia - 289€

Persia/Pérsia - 219€

Blue Persian Salt/Sal Azul Persa - 3369€

The words that come to my mind to describe this collection are luxurious, elegance, sumptuousness, mystery and sophistication. I can't wait to see what Josefinas will do next!

Check their website and an old post of mine.

Oscars 2015

Last night was The Oscar night. As usual, after the statuettes are awarded, the day after is spent discussing the critics choices and who wore what.
I don't know about you, but this year I think there were a lot of pretty dresses but not really at the Oscars level, but anyway, these are my favorite gowns. 

Emma Stone by Elie Saab

Jennifer Hudson by Romona Keveza

Anna Kendrick by Thakoon

Gwyneth Paltrow by Ralph and Russo Couture

Julianne Moore by Chanel

Lupita Nyongo'o by Calvin Klein

Jennifer Lopez by Elie Saab - the Oscar gown in my opinion

Bathroom Decor Part 2

Continuing on the subject Bathroom Decor, in this post I decided to select some objects that can make a difference and upgrade the ambience of any bathroom. 

During my search for inspirational images I've noticed several common objects in most of the pictures, like flowers, candles and air fresheners, glass jars (for decor and for storage), baskets and finally trays (put your perfumes or your lotions and cosmetics). 























I've got many ideas from my research and I've already pick some cool items.
 I hope you enjoyed these posts!

Converse x Andy Warhol

Check out the new spring 2015 collection Converse x Andy Warhol.
I'm a huge fan of converse and also of Andy Warhol so how can I not love this collection?! I can't! 

Bathroom Decor

Bathrooms may seem such a washy room when it comes to decor (of course if you have the money to make it from scratch "washy" doesn't really apply), but believe me, if you have a good base, and that's very important, you can turn a bathroom into a cosy, stylish and, for me the most important, functional room.

Some days ago I was at my parents bathroom looking for something and I've realized that, although the bathroom  and its materials are great, the room is lacking for some organization and functionality. So since my mother's birthday and father's day are coming up, I decided to present them with some cool and elegant items that can improve their daily routines and at the same time give a sense of style and a design feel.

Under my radar: "Mise en Mango"

 After the Zara inspiration, now Mango come up with their version, "Mise en Mango". The earrings are available in two colours (gold and silver), and at 5,99€ I'm thinking to buy both!

Depois da Zara ter lançado a sua versão, agora é a vez da Mango, "Mise en Mango". Os brincos estão disponíveis em duas cores (dourado e prateado), e a 5,99€ estou a pensar comprar as duas versões!

Lemon Jelly

I believe I've heard about Lemon Jelly for the first time a couple of years ago. I used to associate the brand with their wellies, but today the brand has expanded tremendously their footwear collection and also their accessories line.

Lemon Jelly is designed, developed and produced in Portugal and the combination of labour, research, design and materials produce an high-tech product with a fun and colorful touch. 

I've got to say that my favourite shoes are the colorful wellies, the ones that caught my attention a couple of years ago, because I believe that's the essence of this brand, once you've seen them you will never forget.

Acho que a primeira vez que ouvi falar da Lemon Jelly foi há cerca de dois anos. Eu costumava associar a marcar a galochas, mas hoje em dia a marca expandiu imenso a coleção de calçado e apostou também numa linha de acessórios.

O calçado e acessórios Lemon Jelly são desenhados, desenvolvidos e produzidos em Portugal, e a combinação de trabalho, pesquisa, design e materiais dão origem a um produto de alta tecnologia com um toque de humor e cor.

De todos os sapatos os meus preferidos são as “galochinhas”, as mesmas que chamaram a minha atenção há uns anos, o que me faz crer que é essa essência da marca, depois de vê-la nunca mais nos esquecemos.
