Colour Crush: green


As a colour associated with hope, green was picked to be this week's shade. I find myself hoping for good weather for next week's camping trip, in Paredes de Coura, for the music festival that this year features Franz Ferdinand!

 XOXO,

 M

How to plan your dream trip (or any other trip, really!)

Hello beauties, I have shared I am taking a trip this summer and at this point I am beyond excited. At the end of July, I will be going to China where I'll spend the following month traveling. THAT'S RIGHT!!ONE MONTH IN CHINA!! Nearly 17 years later, I'll be walking in chinese grounds. You probably read around here somewhere that I was born in Macau, so this is a big deal and it is long overdue. I can't wait to be there *squeals* Today marks the one month and a half milestone and it is feeling super real! So how am I preparing for this aventure? *cue The Lord of the Rings soundtrack* 1.  Plane tickets After deciding where you want to go, you should get the plane/train tickets.

Bucket List

Today I saw the first exhibition in 25 years of a very important portuguese artist: José de Almada Negreiros. For those who studied even just a little of Portugal's 20th century history, this is a familiar name. He was not only a painter but he also made drawings, cartoons, story boards, movie posters, stained glass, ceramics, coreographed ballets... He even worked for Paramount Pictures. He was part of a group of artists that defined the new aesthetic for the portuguese art scene in the 20th century. Although a wonderfully curated exhibition, the best moment to me was seeing in real life a painting called "Maternity". I had only seen it in my History books. And there it was. The characteristic voluptuous woman, the massive feet and the oh so delicate facial features of both the mother and child... there's no photo I can take that makes this painting justice, so just go ahead and see it. One more ✔ on the bucket list! Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon. F...
