EN: Hello Bananas! So first of all the whole Tribal/Aztec print thing is not news for me but this year I think the trend is full on with skirts, shorts, dresses, leggings, nail art, bags, accessories and shoes. Basically everything.
Do you guys like this trend? I actually bought a black and white tribal/aztec print skirt last month but I haven't used it yet because I have no idea how to pair it with so I'm using the power of the Internet to get some inspiration.
EN: Hello Bananas! Well this last week I came across a lot of suits outfits in many different websites. Do you like suits? Are you a suit type of gall? I like them, whether simple or pattern, monochrome or full of colour. Here are some of my favourite suit outfits.
PT: Olá Bananas! Bem esta semana encontrei um montão de fatos em diferentes websites, concidência? Talvez sim, talvez não. Vocês gostam de fatos? Eu gosto, sejam eles simples ou com padrões, monocrómaticos ou coloridos.
EN: Hello Bananas! I few months ago I told you that Rihanna was teaming up with clothe brand River Island to do a collection. And a couple of weeks ago it was the London Fashion Week and the clothes were finally revealed. In my opinion, the clothes are very Rihanna (current) style, the collection seems to be inspired by the 90's underground, very minimalistic style and most clothes are either white, black or grey, with a few colour pieces like yellow ad red and denim blue.
Below you can see some videos with the Fashion Show. So what do you guys think about the collection? Would you personally buy anything? There are certain pieces that I like, like the cap, the bag, the boots and some of the dresses.
EN: Hello Bananas! Like I already expressed in a few posts I can't wait for Spring and Summer to come along and by watching these type of videos (about Spring and Summer Collections) does not help!
PT: Olá Bananas! Como já falei em outros posts meus eu mal posso esperar pela a Primavera e o Verão e provavelmente ver este tipo de vídeos (relacionado com as colecções para a Primavera e o Verão) não ajuda nada!
EN: Hello Bananas! As I was sitting in my bedroom and looking out of my windows this morning it was raining like crazy bananas and I immediately started thinking of warmer weather and wearing less clothes. Two days ago I came across some new videos of Primark for the new Spring & Summer collection for 2013. In general I like what I see, although most of the trends we kinda already seen last year, with the pastels, neons, paisley, lace, sporty etc.
Nevertheless, something interesting in fact is that Primark is going launch a Sports line. Well I'm not 100% if it is something new but is definitely the first time that I (personally) noticed such clothing items.
PT: Olá Bananas! Estava eu aqui no meu quarto de manhã a olhar pela janela e estava a chuver a potes e imediatamente comecei a pensar em tempos mas quentes e de usar menos roupa. À dois dias vi uns vídeos sobre a nova colecção para a Primavera e Verão da Primark. No geral eu gosto mas ao mesmo tempo muito do que vemos são tendências do ano passado como as cores em tons de pastel, neons, o padrão paisley, renda, estilo desportivo etc...
No entanto, algo de interessante é que a Primark vai lançar uma linha desportiva. Bem eu digo que vai lançar porque é a primeira vez que eu (pessoalmente) tenha notado tais roupas.
Hello everyone! Today's post is about jackets and coats :). I went over to Polyvore and made this collage with some of my favourite jackets and coats of the moment. Starting off with the one of the picture above, every time I see it I die a little lol. The Whistles Marlon Quilted Leather Jacket can be found at ASOS - it's correctly out of stock - it costs €409.76/£295.00 (uufff kick in the balls) but I managed to find the same jacket at House of Fraiser and they only have size 8 online... guess many people like it haha. For me this is the currently THE perfect leather jacket. I have one leather jacket in black but it is a bit cropped, basically ends a bit after my boobs and I wanted something longer in black. You can see a video of Sunbeamsjess [here] in order to see more details at 7:30 of the amazing leather jacket.
Than you can see below a bunch of other jackets that I also fancy. Do you like any of them?
Then there is this coat from Zara I love the shape/style, I don't dislike the colour but I would prefer in Black. YES I LOVE BLACK. You can see the black version of this coat in this video from So Totally Vlog [here] at 5:21. Also you can see Andy Torres' latest Blog post, she is also wearing the black version of the coat [here]. I think that it's the same model, if not there are very very similar.
You may or not know the famous Anna Dello Russo, she's Italian and she's the Fashion Director of Vogue Japan, in any case her collection for H&M for this Fall should be out very soon! I guess the name of the collection is suppose to be "Affordable Extravagance!" Are you curious?
Yesterday I saw this video of her, so basically is the Commercial for the collection. The tittle of song? - yes she kinda sings - it's "Fashion Shower". OH it's so good and funny! Just watch it! The woman is 50! 50 YOU GUYS! Look at that body! And how flexible she is.... yes I am jealous XD.
What I like about the video is the 10 lessons that she gives about Fashion. Listen well!
Hello
everyone! Today I will talk about Primark, and some items that I wish I could
buy them right NOW!
First I will
start by telling you my relationship with Primark, is a bit of love/hate one. I
discovered Primark in 2009 when I was studying in Nottingham
and I was stupidfied at the time, there were sooooo many options and things
were so cheap! But with time I started to notice the consequences of cheap
stuff. You know, the jewellery that the colour washes out, the quality of the
shoes that is not good the sole is very thin for the sabrinas/sneakers, some
shirts are just badly made… etc… but still I shop there, specially for bags and
some basic tops. When I was in London this year I got the chance to visit
Primark almost like on a weekly basis, ‘cause London is full of them and it’s
so easy to get to one, not like in Portugal that the closest one for me is at
Dolce Vita Shopping Mall and takes me like an hour or more to get there -_-. So
I noticed that Primark were stepping up their game, they have more
clothing items that are similar to what you can find at shops like Zara,
H&M Topshop etc, at a affordable price, which is great, problem is, that
the quality is quite not THERE yet with certain items. Even my cousins that have
been living in the U.K.
they “complain” that Primark is starting to rise up their prices but that the
quality is still not there in order for them to have that “luxury” of making things "more expensive".
Anyywwaayyyss
enough of that story, let’s talk about what you can find at the stores, and
these are my favourite items for the moment!
If you tend to visit Fashion Blogs you have probably seen people wearing or at least talking about the Army camouflage pattern that has returned to the Fashion World.
Now like anything in life, some people like it some people hate it. Personally I love it! This love didn't appear overnight. Some of my close friends probably already know this but I am a big Army camouflage Lover! Up until recently I had like 3 tops and a 1 pair of like mid leg pants, which I end up giving to other people because it didn't fit me anymore and I never thought that this style would come back in style. BUT I did manage to keep at least two things that I can recall, an Army style necklace that a dear friend gave me like aaages ago (which currently I'm not sure where it is lol) and this "half" jacket from Stradivarius. I have this jacket since like October/November of 2005. So it's about 7 years old! WOW! When I saw it at the store it was like "Love at First sight", at the time I was rrreeeaalllyy into Army camouflage pattern and anything with the Khaki colour on it. So I bought it, used it a lot during 2005/06 and then he just stayed in my wardrobe for years!
What I have seen other people wearing is more like longer and big/oversized jackets, not quite this style of my jacket.
Hello Everyone! The Ladies above need no introduction, but just in case you don´t know them - and if don´t... where have you been? - on the left is singer Lana Del Rey and on the right also singer and I guess sort of an actress Rihanna.
And soon this is what is going to happen... no they are not getting together and do a duet - not that I know of - but each of them are getting to together with a clothes brand. This Tuesday was announced that Lana Del Rey will be the new face of Swedish brand H&M for this year´s Fall campaign. Now I don´t know if she will be just the face or also has some input on the clothes design. But apparently on the 19th of September it will be released a video commercial with Lana singing a famous song "Blue Velvet", a request made by H&M.
Now as for Rihanna, this one opposite to Lana's announcement, I haven´t seen many people talking about it, maybe because River Island (a U.K. brand), even though is sold Internationally, with cool kinda expensive clothes, still is not has BIG has H&M. Anyways yeah, on Monday was announced that Rihanna will collaborate with River Island for 2013 Spring Collection. And apparently Rihanna was the one that approach River Island, read the news HERE. Now I wouldn't imagine Rihanna with River Island, I think that Rihanna would be a better match with TOPSHOP, but never the less I´m excited to see what is she going to do!
Are you guys curious as well to see both of these Ladies collections?
EN: Hello everyone! I don´t know if you know but I have a few online profile on Fashion websites. I don´t have the habit of sharing frequently it on my Blog, like doing a post about my outfits but I do I have a page option above that says Lookbook, in case you didn´t noticed already. Now... I don´t consider myself a Fashion Blogger, but I do like clothes, like... any other... GIRL! :P
Feel free to check out my pages (see the Links below) and follow if you like, or if you have a profile aswell, let me know and share the link to your page :).
PT: Olá a todos! Eu não sei se sabem mas eu tenho alguns perfis online em websites sobre Moda. Eu não tenho o hábito de partilhar frequentemente aqui convosco no meu Blog, ao fazer um posto a falar sobre o assunto, mas tenho em cima a página que diz Lookbookcaso não tenham notado. Agora... eu não me considero uma Fashion Blogger, mas eu gosto de roupa... como... qualquer outra... RAPARIGA! :P
Sintam-se à vontade de checar as minhas páginas (vejam os Links embaixo) e seguir se gostarem, ou então caso tenham algum perfil, partilhem a vossa página comigo :).
Sexy model and actress Rosie Huntington and hot actor Ryan Reynolds were chosen for the new Mark & Spencer clothes collection for Fall/Winter. The collection I guess is suppose to be called Autograph. They look pretty good together, good chemistry going on....
This information might not be news for some of you, but I guess there are some of you that might not know about this. In any case I wanted to do a post about it in order to express my thoughts on the subject.
So there are these 3 famous Fashion Bloggers, Andy from Style Scrapbook, Chiara from The Blonde Salad and Carolina from Fashion Squad, they have been around for a while now, each one of them has different styles with a few things in common, and besides blogging some of them have their separate projects, I know that Andy has a bag collection (dedicated to cameras in a way) in partnership with Kipling, Chiara has her own shoe line called Chiara Ferragni and recently a lingerie collection with Yamamay, I'm not 100% sure about Carolina but I think she is a model aswell...
Anyways these three beautiful girls got together and decided to create a online shop called Werelse, they launched last year and they started off with 4 T-Shirts designs. And I think things are going preeettyyy well for them, they even won the Best Blogger Business of the Year at the Bloglovin' Awards early this year. I admit I like some of them, but when I saw the prices I kinda *gaaassppped*, 38€ (the cheapest one) for a T-Shirt? Say uuuWhhaaaaatt? UUFFFF Pass...
They have recently announced they are going to launch a small accessories collection in partnership with Mango Touch and is going to hit stores on the 12-15th of April (uuuhhh 3 days before my Bday :p).
Now... if I was a rich girl... I would buy everything... but since I'm not, the items that I reeeeallllyy like are, the black wedge sandals, the black bracelet, the black purse (Love Black Much?), and the neon yellow bag. I'm just waiting for the prices to be revealed and have another *gasp* moment followed by a little heart attack -_-. I will probably be only able to afford the bracelet XD.
So what do you think? Do you like anything? Are you going to buy anything?
Hello everyone! Guess what? I´m sick! -_- After a weekend of full on fun, my body decided to get sick... go figure. Anways let me start sharing with you a few things that I bought here in London, I will start with bags for today.
From this trio, 2 bags are from Primark and one from H&M.
Lana Del Rey, considered one of the singers of the year, with so many fans months before her album "Born to die" started being sold this year. She is already full of controversy and sitting in the front rows in Fashion shows.
Lana Del Rey's real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, born on the 21th of June of 1986, originally from New York. She is now 25 years old, but it seems that she already had a live time of full of good and bad experinces (based on the lyrics of her songs).
I already got my copy of this Vogue magazine and when I read that she might not release another album I was like "uuuuwwwhhaaaattt???".
She describes her style has Gangster Nancy Sinatra - and I couldn't agree more -, also an interesting fact is that she stopped drinking seven years ago, meaning she was like 17/18, WOW.
The controversy sorrounding Lana is either regarding her voluptous lips, that she did something to them, or that she is a fabricated singer full of layers behind her.
Either way, I don't care about those details, I'm loving her songs, her melancholic voice and her 50's/60's style!

I'm a big fan of
Fashion Blogs. But better than just seeing the outfit of the day, I
love DIYs (Do It Yourself) and tips in how to dress according to your
body type, or how to pull of a certain look. I'm 1,60/1m and there
are certain looks that taller slimmer girls manage to pull of that I
can't. Like outfits that include a lot of mixed patterns, I see a
tall girl wearing it, and I'm like “WOW and if I try to do the
same is more of a “WTF! Did you just role out of bed and role on
some clothes that were on your floor Karen?”. Basically the taller
you are the “more space” you have to put more stuff on you. I like layering!
A style that I like is
the “Less is More” style. Like you just wear 2 basic colours, not
much jewellery not much make up and still look perfect and light and
fresh, if I do that, I feel like I look so BORING! Another style that
I like is like total black outfits! Black is one of my favourite
colours, and if I wear a total black look, I might look like someone
with no sense of style and boring, so I admire some girls that I able
to pull off a total black look. I guess mixing different texture
pieces, which I still learning about it.
I'm still trying to
figure out things that look best on me. I'm not a ONE style girl, I
like to change all the time, today I'm girly, tomorrow I'm rocker,
the day after street style I don't know.
Anyways Today I wanted
to share you one of my Favourite Youtubers. Her name is Chriselle
Lim. I “met” Chriselle trought another Youtuber Super Star
Michelle Phan she's a Make up Guru on Youtube. Michelle did like a
video with the help of Chriselle, about some tips with accessories or
something, later on she became a frequent on Michelle's channel and
then people start to request for Chriselle to create her own channel.
Here are some of her
videos that I like. I hope you enjoy them too and learn a thing or
two!

Ontem comecei o dia com uma boa noticia... o meu Portátil já foi arranjado :D agora só falta arrotar 135€ BUUURRRRPPP.... Só deverei ter o Portátil para a semana que vem. Isto porque como ficarei aqui na casa da minha tia até sábado, e a loja vai fechar no sábado e domingo, devido à época natalícia, então na segunda-feira irei levar o meu disco rígido do Portátil, para o técnico voltar a por lá dentro. Aiaiaiaiai
Deixo-vos com um videozinho sobre os 100 anos de moda da zona Este de Londres.
Eu não acredito que faltam cerca de 3 semanas para eu viajar para Londres, ainda não “caí nah réauuuu”.

Hello everyone :).
Yesterday I started my day with some good news... my Laptop has been fixed :D now the only thing that is missing is me burping 135€ BUUURRRRPPP... I will probably only have my Laptop next week. Because since I'm staying at my aunt house till Saturday and the store will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, due to the Christmas season, so on Monday I will take the hard disk of my Laptop for the technician so that he can put it back inside. Aiaiaiaiai.
I will leave you with a little video about the 100 years of style at East London.
I can’t believe I’m like 3 weeks away for my journey to London, this is all still a bit unreal.
Last year H&M invited designer Lanvin to design some clothes for the brand, and it was a huge sucess.
This year as you probably seen our heard - if you haven't I don't know where have you been haha - H&M decided to do another collaboration but this time with the house of VERSACE! We have bold colours, palm trees patterns, and like interesting roman pattern in some items, you can see that pattern on the logo below, around H&M, I actually like that detail, and on the first video you can see it in a lot of places.
The waiting is finally OVER! Are you going to buy anything? From what I seen from other Bloggers that already have some of the clothes of the collection, some love it, others not that much, some compliment the material used on the clothes, other dislike the prices. Even though is "affordable" Versace clothes, the price is still a bit high, some say it's more expensive than Lanvin's clothes collection.
Did you know that apparently there is one red dress, that only TWO were made? IN THE WHOLE WORLD? One I don't know who has it, but the other one was featured in a Giveaway on Andy Torres Style Scrapbook blog.
Today the most common thing that I see on the Blogs that I follow is people that went to the preview yesterday at H&M.... I will see it next time I go to Lisbon lol.
Here you can see some of the clothes of the collection with the video commercials!
I never
been a girl that follows colours trends, in my case I've been in Love for
a long time with the colour Burgundy, since my Nu-Metal+Pseudo-Gothic phase,
and the colour Mustard since last year’s Winter, when I saw a picture of a girl
with a mustard scarf, it was love at first sight. I tried at that time to find
something in the shades of mustard that I liked, but no success.
This
year Burgundy and Mustard are all over the place, and they also go nicely with
each other. Here are some items that I like in those colours.
Okei,
you guys know the clothes brand Mango
right? And if you are into Fashion Blogs you will probably know Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook, and that this year she became Mango's It Girl.
Now Mango is taking things to another
level, they decided to create like these series calledWhat Should I Wear, that is kinda like I don't know,The HillsorThe City(but in this case you know that
the characters are actual actors, and it's all fake).
You can
see the video for 2 episodes already online down below. If you see the video directly
on Mango's website, there is this “time
clothing line” ... I just made that up 'cause I don't know a proper name for
it. So it's a bar that appears under the video, as the episode goes one , that
shows you in detail the clothes that the actors are wearing, which is all Mango's clothes.
On the second episode Andy Torres makes an appearance as a stylist.
See the
video, and let me know what you think. Do you think is a smart move for Mango, finding new ways to publish
their clothes, or is simply just meh.
