Two thousand and sixteen



Happy New Year and may 2016 bring everything you wish!

2015 is behind me and all I can say is "FINALLY!!!". It definitely was not my year, although it did have some good moments: 

- the trip to Morroco was amazing and I loved every bit of it. I ate so many delicious food, the drinks were always present and it was the best way to end summer.

- concerts: The Script, The Prodigy, James Bay, Bear's Den, Bombay Bicycle Club, Florence + the Machine, Franz Ferdinand & Sparks are just some the bands I saw this past year. Festival season is one of the best times to be in Lisbon. Although the number of people in the streets increases, the city just pulses with new energy and cultural diversity.

- the trip to the South of France was another good moment. The sights, the food, seeing a group of young and talented musicians dazzle new audiences is priceless.



As for this year? I have a few awesome ideas/plans:

- travel: this is a special thing and I shall share more about this over the next weeks!

- concerts: Florence + the Machine are returning to Lisbon and I have my ticket!! 

- make the most of my time. I'm entering the "late twenties" stage and I feel I've only been existing and it's time to start living! (See travel above). 

- consider learning a new language. This would make everything so much more interesting *winkwink*

- learn how to make dim sum/ dumplings from scratch

And I want to improve and become the best version of myself I can be (predictable, so cliché)

Cheers 2016, let's get along and kick some ass!
What are your plans for this year? :)

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
