The travel diaries: London part 4

Well, I hope you're not tired yet of seeing the photos of London.
These are from our last day, when we decided to take a walk in Notting Hill, visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum and....

Notting Hill


We were so lucky to have such great weather. It made the area even more charming. The houses, the shops and their signs...it was all so welcoming and nice!


Baker Street/ The Sherlock Holmes Museum


To be fair, we didn't visit the museum. We delighted ourselves inside the shop and saved a few pounds!!


Pensive poise: who did it better?


What's life without dear friends? :)


The Sky Garden

This one is a must-go!! A rooftop garden with an amazing view of town? (Provided the weather is kind enough to let you enjoy it) It's something you can do for free in a city where most attractions as overly priced, so do take advantage of this. Head over to the website and book what time you want to go (limited places per slot).


See how the building on the top left photo looks like Sauron's Tower? No?


LUNCH AT NANDOS

Apparently this is a big thing, a "typical" portuguese restaurant that serves chicken. Well, not so big on the typical side, but the food was good and not too expensive ( we paid around 10£ each).


Adventure yourself and try the spicy sauces. Go on, you daredevil!

Well, the final photos are coming later this week, but feel free to check the previous posts and both videos, now live on youtube!

May your monday be sunny and extra sparkly!!
XOXO,

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
