Incoming

I had one of the most relaxing weekends in ages... I slept 12hours every night and the days were spent in absolute relaxation. 
Saturday I decided to go to for the first time to a fairly known flea market in Lisbon. Feira das Almas happens once a month, on the first saturday of each month, and brings together not only vintage/second-hand sellers, but also artisans and homemade produtcs. 

As I arrived, I felt the setting was a bit more alternative than what I would have imagined: an old warehouse with very loud live-mixed music and a certain fragrance in the air. There was a lot of people, I could barely move (let alone take pictures, sorry), but I managed to see a few things and buy a few things :)


Although there were some second-hand items thar caught my eye at first, I was immediately discouraged by the fact that: a) it wasn't my size, or b) too expensive. So I turned to the hand/homemade produtcs and bought:

Orange and poppy seeds cookies
Aphrodisiac whipped cream
Official canvas bag with logo


Despite my initial aversion to the music, the smells, I ended up liking the market and plan on going back next month.
But saturday wasn't over. Since I was already in a shopping mood, I visited a couple of second-hand stores (unsuccessfully) and a few other stores, returning home with also the following:


Bath lilly and Honey hand cream: THE BODY SHOP
Trousers: PRIMARK
Earphones: PHILIPS

Have you done any shopping lately?
Have a great sunny week ;)

XOXO,

M

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

Tuesday with a little Tease

Image
Enjoying my first day off from work, I went with a friend to a bakery called TEASE . It's a rock 'n' roll bakery (so they say) and in fact, the only reason I noticed it was because they were playing Guns N' Roses one night (it's open until 11pm, perfect for a snack at night). But here's the thing: although they call themselves a rock 'n' roll bakery , the inside suggests a whole different thing! The decoration is very vintagelike, the food looks delicate and yummi... Cupcakes, muffins, milkshakes and teas, toats, salads, all of this to the sound of Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and many others. Perfect for an afternoon with a friend or a date with your sweetheart! This time, pictures will be mainly of food but more will come, featuring the decoration and furniture! Yummi dreams, XOXO, M P.S: Any additional information about the place, click here !

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m
