Hey there, sweeties! 

So, how's your Saturday so far? 

I'm so in the mood for picking part of lyrics from current favorites songs... And this one is from The Jezabels - City Girl which I found on the H&M Spring Lookbook 2014 video on youtube - click here to see it - and this tittle is what I think when I look to the first photo of this post. 

One of the things I love is black and white photography - as you can see on this other tumblr of mine - 'cause they can make you wonder about the colors, and they tell a different story and set a different mood than in colors. And, after spent the last hour trying to decide on how to edit these photos - the sun was too bright and my skin was like yellow. ew! - I decided to try edit them in b&w. So, today I want to share with you our first b&w outfit photos. Since we took them in the middle of nowhere I thought they looked edgier like this ( still, I share in the end of the post some photos in color for you to see) though the outfit is kinda chic/classic, I think it turned out good. What do you think? 

Talking about this outfit: that white shirt is one of my favorite pieces in my closet (and definitely gotta get another one exactly the same) due to its soft floating material. The pants, another favorite! And the open zipper on the bottom just made all the difference, super cool. The shoes... I haven't wore then like in a year - really don't know why - and they are the highest I have so far. The color is perfect, and in patent nude, which is super chic and simple at the same time. The necklace was a gift from two years ago from my sister's best friend and - shame on me! - it's my first time wearing it. And the name on this post just goes perfect with it since it's one of those pocket watches but just the frame, in gold. The other accessories are what I always wear, my gold watch from Parfois and my boyfriend's Ray Ban Aviator. 

Have an amazing day!

Lots of Love,

Maria

It's all in the small details

Hello, guys!

Here is a collection of outfit photos, focusing on the small details of my outfits. Details on color, shape, texture and perspective. I'm staying home just trying to finish some work before the weekend - we're going to a motorcycle race of my sister in law's boyfriend, so cool! - and relaxing with some good music. 

Lots of Love

"She's just another girl"

Good morning, sweeties!

"She's just another girl" is the chorus of a The Killers song "Just Another Girl" that I'm just listening non-stop since yesterday. They're one of my favorite bands! Usually I choose some tittle referring  to some type of clothing that I'm wearing but this one just came naturally - and yes, I was listening to the song.

Yesterday we went to Setúbal, again. It's starting to be kinda of a routine for us since my boyfriends father needs to go there every two days a week (or more!). And since the weather is super cool and the sun is shinning - tough I ended yesterday with a terrible headache. not good at all since I'm still sick - we went for a ride through the mountain range, enjoying the views of the beaches bellow and talking about last summer and how we cannot wait for it again (since it may be our last here in Portugal. if everything goes according to plan...). 

And yesterday I has an epiphany and #armcandy my arm (like the amazing The Man Reppeller says). I used to wear tones of bracelets in my arms before I went through this phase "I only wear my watch and nothing more!". Keeping the "keep it simple" super simple. But sometimes its just great, and you actually feel powerful (a strong word, but the one that suits best) and feminine when wearing jewelry. I surely felt that way. But since most of my bracelets collection was sold, now I need to rebuilt it again. And maybe making some of my own - like I used to.

But talking about the outfit. It's just another minimal black, white and grey look. But with my super cool, still slightly uncomfortable, ankle boots - my feet have a huge arch due to many years of dancing so they kinda press a little, but it's okay (I can handle it before my feet start turning purple and green). 

I just rolled up the trousers, put a simple white V neck t-shirt, a grey blazer, pulled that sleeves up, armed my wrist, put on some red lipstick (I really need to wear more lipstick, still not that good for my boyfriend 'cause then he gets red all over his lips. haha!), my bag and I'm ready to go. 

These photos turned out with such a great light. And was only 4 p.m. and it looks like sunset! Just gorgeous. And can I say that I love my hair on this photos? I love my hair!! (there, I said it!). So glad I cut it out.

Have a wonderful day!

Hey there, dears! 

For those ladies who always wear huge totes and suddenly have the urge to buy a smaller one, I'm having one of those moments. And found the perfect one at Mango. Perfect size and with the chain on the shoulder strap with zipper details. 

Love,

Maria
