CLASSIC MARY


Hey there! I just want to share today's outfit. I went back to an old piece of clothing - the beige skirt - (which I actually borrowed to my sister) and styled it in a classic simple outfit. I was in the mood for some fancy look yet simple and yes, when the Fall and Winter start to appear I tend to go classic. I don't know, but it invites me for chunky knits, tight midi skirts, heels, and over sized coats. I still have to manage to buy a pair of boots. Hunf! Now, time for a night walk. See you tomorrow!

Love,
Maria

CASUAL FRIDAY



Happy weekend, guys! Yesterday was a day (and night) full of adventures, feelings and happiness. I wish everyday could be like that. But, who knows, right? And since I was going to walk around the city I went a for a casual and simple look - one of my favorites. We took these quick photos because the sky was getting super dark and I was in a hurry. Next week I'll be back on track! Now, time to work (and I can hear the thunder outside!).

Love,
Maria

PICK OF THE DAY - THE MAN SHOE

Find it here

Hello there! I'm sorry for the radio silence on the blog but these last few days have been super busy with some important decisions and work. But things are taking it's right path and I couldn't be happier. Now, I've been doing some web search on a new (or more!) pair of loafers because I'm starting to put aside the ballerinas flats. When comes to F/W style, mine goes super simple because it's all about being warm and cozy. And since I don't like wearing boots (trust me, I've tried but even when it rain I prefer loafers or heels. I definitely have a issue with boots...) I decided to pick a pair or two of loafers. My first pick goes to these babies from Pull&Bear new F/W collection. Classic style, black, leather and minimal. Perfect! 

Love,
Maria

LEATHER & HEELS


Good morning, guys! And happy first day of Fall! It is the most romantic and movie like season, if I may say. It's so heart melting watching the leaves turning brown, the days getting shorter and colder, getting cozy in my sweaters and in bed with blankets. Hmm, so good! The weather has been grey for a week now, the sun makes a few appearances but goes away quickly and the rain won't spot poring down. Luckily, yesterday it stopped for a few minutes and even tough it was a bad day (personal reasons) I took a moment to take some photos and do some errands. And this is how I look yesterday - wearing my leather pants again! Yes! A super simple outfit but always with that edgy touch.

Love,
Maria

NAUTICAL VIBE


Hello there, dears! Here are some photos taken in Lagos, while we were there for a walk by the river. I was in the mood for some Preppy Clean Style and it actually worked really well with the city's vibe. Combining my favorites in one simple yet classic look for a casual day, enjoying the last bits of Summertime. I'll soon post a photo diary from this weekend in Algarve.

SIMPLE TRASH


Hey, loves! 
Just want to leave some quick photos taken yesterday. Those jeans are getting more ripped by the day (but it isn't on purpose!) still, they're my favorite pair. It's been quiet and relaxing these last couple of days. I was in need of that... Now, I'm heading to Lagos. See you later!

Love,
Maria

BY THE MOONLIGHT

Hey, loves! I took this photo as soon as I left my bags on the bedroom. This was the view last night, from the balcony. The moonlight on the river was perfect... and I've had a wonderful time so far. I hope your Sunday was great! See you tomorrow*

Love,
Maria

ALL ABOUT THE CUT


Hey, loves! 
It's Friday already, the first week of September has already gone. I've been working on my personal project the last few days (and all I have to do is to be thankful of the support I've been receiving!) if I'm lucky maybe by the end of this month it will be online! With some ups and downs, more downs than ups, I've put it aside for too long... But you gotta do what you love, right? About the look, this is what I wore yesterday, and it all about the cut and shape of the pieces: wrap skirt, blazer with a straight cut (and some gold buttons I sewed in) and cut-out ankle boots. And guess what? I'm a brunette again! This time, no more impulsive hair color painting!


Love,
Maria

CLASSIC VARSITY


New week, new blog layout!
Through some personal issues, and after two months of hard working, few hours of sleep and cursing every html code that exists, we finally manage to create a new design for the blog! It still needs a few touches here and there but its basically finished. We also changed the header design. And oh well, the weather it's changing quickly even though it's still hot outside it already started raining. And that put me in the mood for jackets - mixed with a midi skirt, DIY crop top, a pair of heels and it became a favorite look, for sure! Now, time to work! See you later.

Love,
Maria

Hey, loves!
The weather is grey and dull here in Portugal and it's asking for a cozy afternoon at home, watching movies. Have a wonderful weekend!

CASUAL GIRL


Hello there!
You know those days that you just won't walk around in your pajamas 'cause you don't want to make a fool out of yourself? Yesterday was one of those days. I can't get more casual and simple than this (maybe if I wore shorts and t-shirt, but that's the basics of the basics). I wore this a couple of weeks ago but never manage to take a few photos of it. Now, time to workout and to do some work for my little shop. 

See you later!

Love,
Maria

#FAVORITES


leather skirt - here | dress - here | t-shirt - here | leather jacket - here | heels - here | boots - here | necklace - here


Here are some of my current goodies on my To Buy List. Fitted black dresses are my favorites (and I may I have a pretty good collection of them by now, but there's always a new beauty to buy! I just can't get enough of them) and this one has that retro cut on the neckline which is something that I love! Printed t-shirts: yes, I need to have more of these! I've got a lot of basics T's in black and white but only one (yes, only one) with a print. The leather skirt is a must have this season and I'm in a need of a new leather jacket. And, those heels... Zara just did it again! This is one I have in mind (it's my favorite type of stilettos and goes perfect with EVERYTHING! It really does). And the boots... I had a similar pair when I was 15 years old and now I regret that I had to throw them away. The necklace is just to had a light detail to my outfits, even though I don't were accessories that much I'm in love with these. I might have been brain washed by fashion 'cause I see them everywhere and I couldn't resist in adding one to my list.

Love,
Maria

SPORTS LEATHER


Hey there, guys!
It's September already.Time is flying too fast and its scary... And due to some unfortunate events that happened these last couple of days, I realize that we must live life to the fullest and appreciate everyday of it! Live, love, laugh, cry and never regret. If want to do it, just do it! If it makes you happy, even if its for a few moments, do it anyway. Being spontaneous is just a great way to live and gives that small happiness that can make your day, or someone else's day. 
A few words about this look, its something I wore a few days ago. Sport chic kinda look! Those leather overalls are super cool but since the days are getting hotter I may have to put them aside for a while. 

Stay happy!

Love,
Maria
