Christmas Wishlist

1- Ballerinas With Jewel from Zara | 2- Diana Mini | 3- Prescripted Glasses by Chanel | 4- 50mm F/1.4 Lens | 5- Paisley Dress from Topshop | 6- The Vintage Fashion Journal 

Português: Chegou aquela altura do ano em que não dá para conseguir evitar pensar naquilo que gostaríamos de ver em baixo do pinheiro este Natal. Algumas das coisas que estão na minha carta ao Pai Natal já andam a ser desejadas há bastante tempo como é caso da lente 50mm F/1.4 e um novos óculos graduados. Já não consigo aguentar mais os óculos que uso actualmente e apesar de querer continuar no mesmo estilo de óculos, pretendo ter uns mais suaves, pequenos, discretos e, de preferência, castanhos. Estes da Chanel não poderiam ser mais perfeitos! A Mini Diana já está na minha lista desde o ano passado e apesar de achar que ainda não vai ser este ano que a vou ter, não perco nada em desejá-la, certo? E depois há também aqueles sapatinhos maravilhosos da Zara e aquele vestido com o padrão mais delicioso da Topshop, estes vou tentar oferecer eu a mim mesma assim que baixem um bocadinho de preço. Sabe sempre bem dar um miminho a nós próprios! Finalmente, o The Vintage Fashion Journal, que encontrei enquanto me babava a ver o site da Modcloth, parece ser o instrumento ideal para me inspirar e organizar melhor o meu guarda-roupa em 2013! 

E vocês? O que vão querem este Natal?

English: It's that time of the year when you can't avoid thinking about what you would like to see below this year's Christmas tree. Some of the things that are in my letter to Santa have been desired for a really long time such as the 50mm F/1.4 lens and a new prescripted glasses. I can no longer stand my current glasses and despite wanting to continue with the same style of glasses, I'd like to have a softer, smaller, more discreet and preferably brown. These Chanel ones couldn't be any more perfect! The Mini Diana is in my wishlist since last year and even though I guess it is not going to be this year that it will be mine, I don't lost anything just wishing it, right? And then are these amazing Zara little ballerinas and that Topshop dress with the most delightful pattern that I hope to offer myself to myself as soon as the sales arrive. It feels really good when we pamper ourselves a little bit! Finally, The Vintage Fashion Journal, that I found when I was drooling over Modcloth website, it looks like the ideal instrument to inspire me and to organize better my wardrobe in 2013!

And you? What is on yours Christmas wishlist?

Kling: A Winter Wishlist

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Português: Não é novidade nenhuma que eu adoro as roupas da Kling! As peças são sempre bonitas, originais, com uma qualidade incrível e, melhor ainda, com preços super acessíveis para o tipo de coisas que vendem. A colecção de Inverno deste ano saltou-me especialmente à vista pelos pequenos detalhes que fazem toda a diferenças e pelas cores quentes e perfeitas para os dias mais frios. Para melhorar ainda mais esta colecção, algumas das inspirações para esta colecção foram a Audrey Horne da série Twin Peaks e a Nana, representada pela Anna Karina no filme Vivre Sa Vie. Claro que também não nos podemos esquecer do filme Sound of Music e da musa dos anos 20, Louise Brooks! Com tudo isto, a Kling vai crescendo cada vez mais dentro mim e a certeza de querer encher o meu armário com todas as suas peças é cada vez maior.

English: We all know my love for Kling isn't new! The pieces are always gorgeous, unique, made with great quality and better yet, with really affordable prices for the kind of things they sell. This year's winter collection catched my attention especially because of the small details that make all the difference and because of the warm colors perfect for the cold days that are already here. To make this collection even better, some of the inspirations were Audrey Horne from the series Twin Peaks and Nana, represented by Anna Karina in the 60s movie Vivre Sa Vie. Of course, we can't forget the movie Sound of Music nor the 20s muse, Louise Brooks! With all of these great things, Kling is growing on me a little more each day and I'm pretty sure I'm ready to fill my closet with their clothes.

Love,

Autumn Wishes

English: It's not a big new that Autumn in my favorite season of the year! I love the colors that fill the streets, the dry leaves on the floor, the cold mornings and the shy rain that falls in the end of the day. I always get excited when this season arrives because it means I'll start to put aside my fresh clothes and to take from the bottom of the drawers my woolen sweaters and the cosiest cardigans. I love to see the days becoming shorter while I'm on my couch with my cosy blanket watching movies and drinking hot beverages. Autumn has that charm and nostalgia that no other season can have. It's mesmerizing without even know it!
Now that Autumn has arrived, I just feel like doing wishlists where the warm colors are on the top of the list. Warm sweaters and boots are essential for me this season, as the paisley pattern that became one of my favorites over the past weeks. To accompany the rain, nothing better than a hot chocolate and a Hitchcock movie that never disappoints.

Português: Não é novidade nenhuma que o Outono é a minha estação do ano favorita! Adoro as cores que preenchem as ruas, as folhas secas espalhadas pelo chão, o friozinho matinal e a chuva tímida que cai ao fim da tarde. Fico sempre entusiasmada quando esta estação do ano chega pois significa que vou começar a por de lado as minhas roupas frescas e começar a tirar das gavetas do fundo as camisolinhas de lã e os casaquinhos mais aconchegantes. Adoro ver os dias a ficarem mais curtos enquanto fico no sofá com a minha mantinha a ver filmes e a beber bebidas quentes. O Outono tem esse encanto e nostalgia que mais nenhuma estação do ano consegue ter. É hipnotizante apesar de não ter noção disso! 

Agora que o Outono chegou, já só tenho vontade de fazer listas de desejos em que as cores quentes estão no topo da lista. Camisolinhas quentes e botas serão indispensáveis para mim nesta estação, tal como o padrão paisley que se foi tornando num dos meus favoritos ao longo das últimas semanas. Para acompanhar a chuva, nada melhor do que um chocolate quente e um filme do Hitchcock que nunca desilude ninguém.

Love,

Marisa Violeta

August Wishlist

English: I never had a great charm for August but in this month nothing tastes better than being away from the confusion of the big cities and just sit on the grass reading a book or getting my feet wet on a river. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath sounds like the perfect option for these more introspective days and this Topshop dress with the most delicious details is just the perfect option to go with it.

Português: Nunca tive grande encanto por Agosto mas nest mês nada me sabe melhor do que estar afastada das confusões das cidades e simplesmente sentar-me na relva a ler um livro ou a molhar os pés num rio. O The Bell Jar da Sylvia Plath parece-me a melhor opção para estes dias mais introspectivos e nada melhor para o acompanhar do que este vestido da Topshop que tem os detalhes mais deliciosos de sempre. 

Dress: Topshop; Blouse: Monki; Shoes: Topshop; Bag: Modcloth; Collar: Stradivarius

Dream Outfit For Such A Dreamy Day

Chirstmas is here and I just love Christmas with all my heart! The delicious food, the music, the smells, the

lights, being with my family, the cold outside, the films... everything is beautiful and unique! It is my favorite

day of the year, the day that makes everything looks so easy and colorful!

So, if I had the opportunity to wear anything I want on Christmas day, anything, this would be my choice:

Too bad I don't have such opportunity and that my wallet is too little for such dream! Anyway, I'm sure I'll find out something in the middle of my closet!

I'll just be sure to enjoy such lovely day with the ones I love the most! :)

Love,

What To Wear During Winter

I don't know about you, but I always find really difficult to dress stylish and to show my outfits during winter. It

feels like I'm always wearing boots, a long coat, tights and maybe a warm scarf. Always the same! I'm always wearing my warmest clothes but everything feels so boring! That's why I decided to use Polyvore, my

imagination and bit of inpiration to create some of the outfits I'd like to wear this Winter. I love cold days but my wardrobe don't. The time of the year I feel easier to wear is during Autumn, but Autumn days will get over soon and Winter is already sneaking behind the door!

I love this one! The colors are perfect and long-sleeve dresses during Winter are a must have!

Also, the beret! I really want to wear a lot of berets during the cold days!

Another long-sleeve dress and another beret! The dress really looks cosy and warm and even though I really feel like start wearing colorful tights, I always will love my beloved black tights!

This is probably my favorite one! It's difficult to anyone see me wearing pants but when the wind is too cold to wear tights, why not giving pants a try? Also, I love the coat and the little bow. I guess I'm going to do a little DIY to my old coats that I don't longer wear so they can look a bit more stylish. The bowler hat is also on my Winter wishlist!

Love,

A Romwe Wishlist

One of the things I like the most about the online store Romwe is the variety of clothes and styles it has to offer. There you can find edgy clothes and also vintage inspired ones. As you probably know, the vintage inpired stuff is what I really like so I decided to show you some clothes from Romwe that I would just LOVE to have in my closet. Yes, a lot of colars indeed. I just can't get enought of it!

Anyway, don't you just love these pretty clothes? I do!

Love,

Asos Sales

Sales are here and I'm love with some Asos lower price clothes. Sadly I'm sure I'll not buy anything because the money in my card is not the best. I need to find a job and I'm thinking about applying to H&M.

Anyway, this are the pieces I love the most at Asos sale:

This is a really pretty little dress. Love the colar and how it looks with the over-the-knee socks.

The blouse is adorable but I must that I love this entire outfit.

This cardigan really catched my eye. I love how the sequin colar look.

This is what I call a perfect dress. Those bows make the dress unique and I love those kind of details.

Don't you just love elegant dresses? I would love the own a 60s kind of dress and this is a perfect one. I'm in love with white.

This coat makes me want to work right away so I can afford it. The shape, the colour... well, everything is marvellous.

Mau Feitio

There's a store in my uni city where I can find some of the most adorable pieces. Everytime I pass trough it I just have to look. It sells unique clothes, beautiful shoes and also vinyls, wich I adore. Today I was checking the website (Mau Feitio Store) and I came to the conclusion that I NEED do own this pieces:

This coat is more than amazing. I want it so badly! My boyfriend says it looks like something his mom would wear in her work ahah.

I already own the green version of this Melissa + Alexandre Herchcovitch but I don't wear them that much because of the colour. What I really want is the black and white version but I must say that last week I went to the store and I saw a pair of shoes that were a lot like this and cheaper. They're not on the website or I would show you. I need to think.

This are some of the clothes I loved the most and I would love to see in my closet. Those last sweaters seem to be really comfy and that coat is exactly what I would like to wear this winter.

Cold Weather and Warm Coat

I really need to buy a new coat but I must admit I don't have much money right now. Blame university. So I was looking for a cheaper coat and I found these ones, all from Zara. I can't spend more than 50€ but I still want something warm and good looking. Difficult mission indeed.

Lovely and not expensive. Problem: I'm sure it's not warm enough. But I love blazers and I'm in love with collegial style.

I like this one but I'm afraid it is a bit average and something seen in every single person. Not expensive tho. The front is cute and I love all of those buttons.

I really like the front of this coat, those buttons and the hoodie with that pattern but I'm not sure about the colour. Camel is not a colour I wear on a daily basis, in fact, I never wear this colour.

When I saw this one on the store I said: I have to have this one! But I was in a rush and I had not time to wear it and now that I see it in the girl I'm not sure If I like the way it looks. Got to try it myself because I really like the colour and the collar.

Doing a little dance wearing Doc Martens

I love Doc Martens but I don't own any pair. There are some reasons: they're expensive and I'm not sure if it goes with what I wear. I'm a bit girly even though I wear black most of the time. Anyway, a few minutes ago I was checking Asos website, dreaming about some clothes and creating plans to save money and then I came along with this beautiful pair of Doc Martens. Those little flowers are adorable and I love how eye catching is that red (but I'm sure that I would buy the black version, don't ask me why).
