Hello jollies!

Is it just me or don't the shops this year (of recession no less) have amazing, gorgeous stuff?? we have less money, we're less incline to buy and spend so they got better stuff, how fair!

I'll basically show you the stuff I got during the sales.I think in the last month and a half, I've recovered 4 months of not buying anything clothes related.

Shoes, I got another 2 pairs, because a girl can't have enough right? Or so I tell myself to feel better :P

The black /leopard one I got from Forever, a shoe shop with higher quality, the original price was 49,95€ I got them for 30€, and boy are they comfortable, it's a lot different from cheaper ones.

Those black ankle boots with all those studs on the heel are from Zara. It was a finding. I looked and I couldn't believe there was my number and the price were a surprising 19,99€ when the original price was over 55€ . Really good to walk, they're comfortable and steady with the solid large heel.

About shirts from L-R: The green with grey studs on the shoulders, collar and pockets is from Blanco, cost me 14,99€ when the original was 22€, and I love it, I've worn it a lot, it isn't see through and it isn't thin.

The black with also fewer studs on the shoulders was from Stradivarius at 12,99€.

The grey sweater with studs on the shoulders from Mango was actually one (along with the denim up next) I was eyeing before the sales went up and I'm glad i nailed it.I paid 14,99€ when it was 29,99€ a complete steal!

The black one with the girl with red hair is from Punt Roma and it was 19,99€, the original price was 29,99€. It's a ashirt with 2 type of fabric.

From L-R: the petrol blue with 3 studs on each shoulder is also from Stradivarius I've paid 5,99€ for it.
I wasn't sure about it, because it has a generous neckline, nothing much but more than what I'm used to.

The denim is from Mango, it's a really good quality I've paid 19,99€ when the original were a horrible 34,95€ (what??)

The white flowy, with a doll on the front, from Zara, I've paid 14,95€ when before sales was 22€. It's more of a chic shirt.

The last t-shirts, from L-R, also a black with (again) studs is from Zara I paid 9,99€, and I'm not sure if the original price was 14,95€ or 12,99€.

Then I got a t-shirt in a different colour,because as you can see I already have enough black, with once again some applications on the shoulders from New Yorker.I paid 6,95€ when the price before sales was 14,90€.

Please keep in mind that I didn't buy it all at one go!

The ones from Mango were the first ones, just 3 days after Christmas while the black leopard boots were the last item I got almost a week ago.
Either way no more clothes for me, from now on I can only get socks!! LOL
What bargains have you got?
Happy weekend my dears

Hi there my princesses! How have you been?
Yes, I've been naughty once again, I went shopping with my very good friend Rita the past Friday during a 4h and half gap (:/) we had at the uni. Hey I needed shoes and winter boots for real!I've use the last ones so much that they're literally falling apart. Specially the flat ones, jess they had a huge hole on the bottom ahah
I always go for the steady, solid heel plus it needs to be comfy to use all day. Easy to clean, dark colours preferentially. And light on the wallet!

So first stop was Teresinha I love that shoe shop. If your looking for cheaper shoes at a standard quality this is it. I think I managed to hook Rita on it :p I bought there both the black flats (11,90€) and the black ankle boot (27,50 € ). And I was suppose to stop here, being "suppose" the big fat liar.

Yesterday after getting back from the march rally I went to a shopping mall to eat something and then I saw these sneakers, the big trend this winter as my dear Rita told me. She has been lusting after a pair from Zara:P I've tried it on, it's so comfortable and looks so cool, I bought them (29,90€). I blame Rita for introducing the all sneaker fever to me ahahaha not that I honestly mind, I love them! Even my sis bought a pair although slightly different.

And that's how I made a big damaged to my bank account :P
Nevertheless those 4 and half hours weren't enough to see all of the shops in Lisbon. I guess we'll have to go back don't we Rita?
I'll leave you with the photos of the shopping shoe-free.

The Prada building is so gorgeous

Apologies for the 2 days delay at posting. The uni has already taken its tool on me.
Friday I couldn't help it, I went to bed at 21h15pm for goodness sake.I literally couldn't keep my eyes open.
Have a fantastic week gorgeous!

Okay not really!! Orange blossoms are normally white, but i just had this urge to title my post of "orange blossoms"!Don't really know why honestly, but since i could do it I did ahah

Well the weather has been something special to say the least, on Monday it rained, but today it reached 30ºC :o

It wasn't on purpose that orange was the queen in my clothes colour range today. I just "hum at 7h it's a bit chilly but i know i'll be burning by 12h p.m. so i'll take these sweater on top and for the shoes i'll be walking a lot so i'll wear these they're super comfy and the bag is not even up for discussing...it'll be crocky". Yes i've named my favorite and most expensive bag i ever bought, yes i'm that obsessed :p

jeggings from clockhouse;

wedges from Teresinha;

the black sleeveless t-shirt from primark;

Orange Cotton yarn sweater from Ana Sousa

Can you see the golden & sparkly threads?

Have i mentioned how spectacular is my mother's jewellery collection ? So i wanted to take a sneak peek i swear, just before i left the house but couldn't resist in borrowing this sophisticated necklace from details!!:P

The sweater looks good...Now that i've come to think about it i should wear it more often it's beautiful don't you think? it's easy to wear, light and there's nothing similar to it and the quality it's amazing, and u can always take it off once the temperature is stupidly high:p

Have a nice weekend

Hello, hello my adorable little monkeys (that's what my mum calls my sis & I :p)
How i missed shopping and seeing those front windows!

So here they are some of the things i've collected /bought over the last 3-4 weeks, all spring/summer stuff which is awfully odd since it's raining outside as of now and last night it even rained some hail.

But i can't find it in me to care, i hunger for some springer weather!!

Above (Left to right): a sleeveless and tight shirt from H&M , 14,95euros. A pink loose and long blouse from primark, 13 euros, to wear with some jeggins

Bottom (L-R): a grey and some what long shirt with some gorgeous details on the neck line and some cuts in the arm area,16,95euros. These one looked gorgeous when i tried it on. A light blue also with cuts on the arms, 9,95euros. Both are from New Yorker.

(L-R): A shirt with mixed colours and mixed cuts, a sleeve longer than the other, super modern shirt and it was 17,95 euros from Zara. The orange shirt with also some longer sleeves kinda flowy, it gives a romantic look when u wear it, was 9,95 euros also from New Yorker.

Look at my new love! A pair of deep blue wedges with some delicate detail near the heel! They are a closed wedges 'cus i bought them with the intention of wearing them to Lisbon trough the metro and trains, and getting dust on my foots isn't exactly my fetish XD
Comfy,wedged heel even though they're quite high but with a nice platform and they were 29,95 euros at Calçado Guimarães!

Oh yeah!

I've taken so many photos of them it is embarrassing!I was like oh gosh u are so gorgeous you're gonna me look taller, i'm gonna wear u everywhere even my sis gave me that look "Have u gone mad for good?!" and she's used to my "taking photos of food at restaurants!"

That was it!

Happy Weekend dears!

And i don't regret it!! I've been shopping a lot lately. Shopping for Christmas gifts that i can't show here at least for now cus there's always someone spying :p and shopping for me, picking things that i needed like high knee boots and a new cosy jacket, cus i use mine so much & it's time to let it die in peace :p
This post is more like a collective haul of the things i've been buying for the last 3 weeks. Normally i shop this way: I see something that i like!Yup i'm super happy that moment: If it's something that i'm gonna wear or the one i have it's getting ugly and very used up and it's a decent & reasonable price i'll buy it!These way i don't ended up with my closet full of things i'll never wear and without a single cent in my account!I also try to go for quality over quantity i'll rather spend 30 euros on a good quality sweater and know it's going to look good for a couple of years than buy 2-3 less expensive ones each year.
I love to buy shoes and boots in down town Lisbon!! There's tones of good shops there, with amazing quality and even more amazing prices. It's pretty much guarantee that u'll find what you're looking for at a affordable price. I always pass by "Teresinha" near the hard rock cafe and then walk all the way over to Martim Moniz to "Calçado Guimarães" i just have to at least see their windows and check out what's new!

The first one is from "Punto Roma", love the colours, love the feathers, it's really comfy to wear, great quality and it was 36euros, a piece that in 5 years will still look as good as today!
The second is from "Pull & Bear", a blue simple cardigan and it was 19,99euros. I didn't have one yet, and i intend on using it with leggings and high knee boots a normal casual look.

The 3rd one is also from "Punto Roma" and it also was 36 euros, and it's so gorgeous!! It's a 2 type of fabric piece. A silky front with the flowers on it and a stretchy one, making the piece cosy, easy and comfortable to wear.
The 4th is a warm, cosy jacket from "zara". Really comfortable and perfect to use for uni!The white fabric reminds of sheep fur it's so soft. At 39.99euros what more could i ask for?

A close up of my 2 favourite pieces!!I think i'm in love...:p

And now some photos from when i went to Lisbon hunting for the perfect boots!

The hard rock cafe!! It might not have a entire room full of things from artists but hey we have a Cadillac hanging up on the ceiling!! How cool is that?

So here's the boots! Warm, comfortable, tall enough to make me look taller and slimmer:P. At 22,90 euros from Teresinha

And black studded Pumps!I've been looking for these for so long....I wasn't going to spend 90 euros on pumps from Aldo, and i found these ones at "Calçado Guimarães" at 9,99 euros! They look better on believe me. But yeah with beauty comes pain. I guess they're made for skinny feet which mine aren't :P Still i love them to dead, i'll be wearing them every single chance i get this winter!;)

Hope u've liked this post! Let me know what you think!!

Good week bloggers! Christmas is almost here yupiii!!

And i mean tiny!:D

Hello dearest bloggers how have u been? I'm so sorry i took so long to post again, but please bear with me it's been a rocky week even more then usual, can u believe i even had a math test last Saturday?Oh the nerve of those teachers :S here's another prove that uni students aren't allowed to have a social life, rest & sleep :P
I'm gonna show the things i bought for the last couple of months that i think can be some what interesting!

Well i bought:

2 pairs of black leggings from zara! Mine are getting, not old, but since i use them a lot...

1 body lotion from Uriage it is so damn good. To me this is the best one i've ever tired, and i've tried a lot, from Aveeno, Vaselin, Palmer's, from the body shop, Ducray... It has a distinct smell characteristic of the main "ingredient" and is absolutely heaven to the more sensitive and dry skin, basically the type of skin that needs "food" and is very prone to have allergies. I really do advice to try it, although it can be expensive and i bought the big one (400ml) u can get the smaller one (200ml). I always like to have one of these as a backup. I don't use it on regular basics but i keep one just in case my skin decides to go nuts and develop any allergies.It hydrates and sooth my skin at the same time. LOVE IT!
The new Normaderm Anti-Aging facial cream by Vichy, for oily skin that already shows the first signs of aging. This has amazed me in a good way, i'll probably post an entire post about it.
And the worldwide known products by Lush, Buffy (the big nude & square)and a sample of Stepping Stone (the blue one) the lady was so kind to give me=).Well buffy is really good besides scrubbing so well i leave the shower with my skin feeling just as soft as if i've put on lotion.

And to show how those leggings look on....

This pair is more simple, very comfortable and warm. And it has a nice cut / design on the knee that gives an extra rebel and fashionable twist to it. But it's still totally wearable! It was 19,95 euros.

And these are the more daring leggings, but definitely my favourites. They have a side elastic band that hugs my waist & hips just perfectly. And they have a straight line if you can call it that that goes all the way down to your feet. I wouldn't say it's high waisted but it's definitely more then the first pair. These ones i'll probably wear on a night out, lunch out or when i'm feeling extra daring :p Also very comfortable and warm.These were 19,95 euros as well.

Well that's it, i hope u enjoyed it!

Let me know what you think!!

Good week!!

   Hello dolls!!:D
   Even though i've been saving for a little get-away on the end of this month, I've had my eye in the windows of shoe shops looking for the perfect pair of warm & comfortable boots! And i found them for the amazing price of 29,80Euros at Calçado Guimarães. Yup this shop doesn't fail, amazing quality at a good price.
   I chose these boots because they are warm perfect fo the cold days ahead , though they look very high they are not!They have a platform that makes them so comfortable and the heel is thick giving more stability to my walking! Oh and quick & easy to put on because they have a lateral clasp!! Oh i love them, love them, so happy with this purchase!:D

Available online here

So what do you say? I'm so glad i found these!Really glad with them ;D

Have a wonderful week!

The sun has been joking around with us!! During summer was a no show, but now in the last week of september we have 28º C!!It was suppose to be 20ºc at the very most so that we wouldn't feel bad returning to the routine, but oh no now that i can't enjoy the weather and have to be all day long in rooms and trains he's here!! I'm mad at him!why does he have to be so mean?! :s

Well either way i felt like doing an OOTD!

Yes i know i said it was super hot, but early in the morning was quite chilly actually! And since i'm a pharmacy college student i know how pills are made and the long-term consequences it has to our bodies so i believe its "better to prevent than to be sorry later" so i prefer wearing jackets to taking aspirins and ibuprofens! :p

This is why i like doing OOTD, i have so much fun, i laugh and laugh and keep on laughing about my goofy faces, my awkardness & pretty much eveything!
