New: Rings #4

EN: This ring was a gift from some family members of mine and its from Accessorize / PT: Este anel foi uma prenda de um uns familiares meus, é da Accessorize.

EN: Hello Bananas! This post is just about a few rings that I got last year. I think this will be the last post about (new) rings for a while.

In the mean time, I was thinking, would you like to see a video about my rings or accessories collection? Let me know on the comment box.! 

PT: Olá Bananas! Este post é só sobre alguns anéis que recebi/comprei no ano passado. Acho que este vai ser o último post por algum tempo sobre (novos) anéis.

No entanto estive a pensar se vocês gostariam de ver um video sobre a minha colecção de anéis/acessórios/bijutarias. Digam-me nos comentários.

Primark Spring/Summer Collection 2013

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.

Warm me up! #1

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.

Loving | Primark A/W 2012

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!

EN: Isn't it amazing? This one was a gift from my cousin, she got it from QVC. / PT: Não é lindo? Este foi a minha prima ofereceu-me, ela comprou pelo QVC.

OOTD: Nrº 22 “After work… go to the Park”

Hello everyone, today´s post will be kinda different. I´m still not in the mood for Musical Fridays - read the previous post here -, even though I have a bunch of videos to share with you guys, I´m still not emotionally THERE yet...

Anyways I decided to share an outfit with you guys, something I dressed between May and June when I was still in London. 

One day after work, the sky was clean, the sun was shinning in London, such a rare thing over there. So a colleague of mine and myself decided to meet up at a Park at Highbury Islington and aahhh what a great idea! And aaahhh such a lovely area! It really got me thinking of possibly getting a room in that area. People were chilling out, reading books, playing, exercising, barbecuing, lovely!

Haul | Bags & Shoes Video

Hey everyone! FINAAALLLYYY I was able to upload this video on Youtube! God it was kind of hell for me. I recorded in June when I was still was in London, since it was my last week in London I didn't have much time/patience to edit the video so I did that when I arrived to Portugal buuuttt it wasn´t a smooth process. I have 2009 Windows Vista laptop and 2003 Windows XP desktop computer... so since it´s crazy hell to edit videos on my desktop pc, I had to do on my laptop, but after editing I had problems saving it, ´cause the fucker would overheat and puff... -_-..., when I finally managed to upload it I had Youtube problems -_- because I had some Copyrights problems in the past, I can´t upload on my channel videos more than 15 minutes long, and my video was 17m RSRSRSRSRSRSAAAHHHH, then my laptop crashed because of the power cuts and I didn´t feel like using it for some days, then yesterday I edited my video again, I cut some parts where I was just rambling and cut off about 3 minutes...

SSOOOO conclusion I hope you like the video, it´s about bags and shoes, most of them that I already shared with you here on my Blog with Pictures.

My Handbag Collection #1

These are my bags. Now mind you, I didn't buy all of them in one day lol. Most of the times I buy one/two bags per year but for some reason when I'm in the U.K. is when I buy more bags... damn you Primark.

Oh and these pictures were taken when I was still in Portugal, like last December or something.

Let's start the presentation!

New in the Shoes Department #1

My black Pistol Boots from Select.
I needed a new pair of practical heel boot in black, and incomes the Pistol Boots. I love them so much! In the begining I could only spot very expensive ones like from TOPSHOP for like 70 t 80£ pppffffffff and then I found these one from Select for like 18£. SOLD!

My Minty Pumps from Primark. Do I really need to say anything? They are cute, freaky high, they are in these season's colour and only for 12£. Ooohhh Primark Primark... I wanted to buy ALL OF THE SHOES IN EVERY FREAKING COLOUR... but I can't I can't....

And last but not least, these Silver "Stilettos" shoes.  Yes they have a red  sole but no, they are not Christian Louboutin lol they are from Select. They were only 10£ >.<. The reason why I still have the white price sticker, is in case I want to change them for a size up, I have 14 days t exchange. No worries I will take it off.

Soooo do you like any of them? I know I do XD

New in the Bag Department #1

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.

What I'm wearing for a wedding.

I’ve been to Mozambique before, back in 2001. I have lots of family over there, from my mother and father side. This time an uncle of my is paying the tickets for me and some other family members that are living in Portugal, to go to Mozambique this December, for his son’s wedding and his 50^th anniversary.

Mozambique is on the South Hemisphere of the Earth, so while here in the North we are going from Fall/Autumn to Winter, they are going from Spring to SUMMER :P hehe. Back in August I started looking for a dress to wear on the wedding, I couldn’t leave it and start looking like now in November, cause most of the clothes are going to be winter clothes, and even if I found something that could be use in the Summer or Winter, it could be either ugly or expensive.

Anyways I bought a dress in H&M, its white and dark blue, and after that I was on a big hunt for SHOES! Again the same situation as the dress, I need to find some Summery shoes. That would match the dress, so that would be either blue or white, I found some gorgeous shoes in a store called Seaside, but the problem was that they were tttoooo hiiigh, there was no way I was gonna be able to stay all day with those shoes. So one glorious sunny afternoon, when I was coming back home – from Lisbon to Pinhal Novo – while I was making time for the next bus, I decided to check on a shoe shop at was nearby and *insert angelic music here*, I found the last pair of blue shoes size 37 in the store O_O, if that wasn’t a sign I don’t what the hell it was lol.

The shoes have studs, so I'm still in doubt with the bag, either the white one from Primark or the other one from Aldo, cause it has studs and it matches my shoes.

Aaaaannnd I'm mixing the studs, with fake pears jewlery, huummm good or bad? I know that nowadays is all about mix matching, but there's good mixing and bad mixing.

Sooo let’s go for the pictures now:

H&M dress.

 

Dark Blue shoes with studs.

White bag from Primark

 Dark greyish blue bag with studs from Aldo

I will use one these earings. Either the one with the flowers that matches one the bracelets cause it has also a flower, or maybe I will use the pair in the middle.

The ring from Primark :p I love big rings.

The two bracelets that I'm going to use. The first one I don't remember the name of the shop I got it from, and the other one is from Primark.

So what do you reken mate? ^.^

Stuff that I bought a while back

These are some stuff that I bought some time ago. A small makeup palette for like £1,50 in Boots (Boots it's a place where you can find makeup stuff, hair products, pharmacy and some electronic stuff like, hair-dryers, electric tooth brush) and some makeup brushes that I bought in Primark (Primark is mainly a clothes store but it has a small makeup section, kinda like H&M).

So here it goes:

I guess the brand of this makeup palette is "17" and the collection I guess it was Va Va Voom, it comes with 4 colours, white, black, purple, and blue, and a little mirror inside, but no makeup brush (buuuuuuuu lol).

And these make-up brushes are from OPIA (at Primark). The fiest one is a Kabuki brush you can either use it for loose powder or blushes and the the other one is a double brush, for eyeshadow or use it to apply your concealer maybe. The fibers are synthetic but still very soft. There were two option either pink or purple, I picked purple, 'cause I love purple :P
