Outfit #15 - Autumn is here

Outfit #15 by karenussene featuring zara shoes

Boohoo, Crop top / NewLook, Camel coat / Topshop black jeans, £41 / Zara shoes, £33 / 
MANGO drawstring bag, £46 /Brown watch / New Look, Gold jewelry / Laura Mercier lipstick, £18

To be completely honest with you guys I don't think I have bought clothe since July this year, in part because I didn't need any new clothe, I'm always in uniform and on my days off I don't go anywhere special.

Last winter (early this year) I was obsessed in finding the perfect Grey coat, I did find one at Dorothy Perkins but it was sold out in my size so the next best thing was one from F&F/Tesco. This year I'm hunting for a Camel coat and I think I found The One, is the one you see in the picture above from New Look. Super simple, no big pockets outlines, no buttons visible, clean cut, just the way I like my coats these days. 

The next item I have my eyes on is those black loafer shoes from Zara nnnhhhhhh it was love at first sight, I just don't know how comfortable they are going to be.

Outfit #14 - London Days

Outfit #14 by karenussene featuring leather bags

Lareida white long sleeve top, $110 / Zara coat / Forever New jeans, $58 / Acne Studios black leather boots / The Cambridge Satchel Company leather bag / Topshop midi ring / Silver ring, $5.74 / Wrap shawl / Victoria's Secret lips makeup / Essie nail polish, $26

EN: Hello Bananas!

Lately I've been having a bit of a blogger-block, by that I mean I don't know what to Blog or talk about sometimes over here. And the fact that I don't have my own laptop doesn't make things any easier, I can't properly settle down  on someone else's computer/laptop. Plus add to the equation the fact that I'm still looking for a job, I've sent a bunch of CVs and now I'm waiting for answers, in the mean time some have replied saying no. 

Anyways I made today I little outfit post, it's basically what I've been wearing over here in London on a everyday basis. The days are getting colder but still bearable. Jeans and a simple shirt, my pistol boots (or sneakers for a fast passe day), a light scarf, a black bag, lately I've been loving dark blue nail polish, my makeup as been very minimal but I always put something on my lips, my jewelry is also very minimal aaaannnddd to top it all of my lovely Zara coat.

Before I left Portugal I managed to buy a Zara coat that I was eyeing for some weeks. And thank God I bought it because in Portugal was 59€ but over here in the U.K. is £79. Oh yeah Zara is expensive over here in the U.K., I didn't go very often to Zara while in PT and now I don't think I can afford it over here, although they have aaammaaaazing coats, jackets, shoes, bags and accessories.

Anyways that is all for now. Wish me luck!

Outfit #13 - Let's go to the beach

Outfit #13 - Let's go to the beach by karenussene featuring folding glasses

ASOS swim top, $24 / Old Navy / Victoria's Secret cotton bag / Ray-Ban folding glasses / Snap back cap, $51 / The Body Shop cosmetic, $8.21 / Nivea / ROXY Swept Away Towel

EN: Hello Bananas! In the last 2 weeks I've been to the beach already 4 times. It might not be much for some of you but for me it is. Lately traveling to the beach, although is more accessible it's getting more and more expensive, I've been lucky enough to go with some of my friends by car.

I've never been crazy about getting tanned but over the last 3 years I die for one. Since 2009 I've been leaving abroad in countries where the sun is a bit shy and there's no proper beaches so whenever I return to Portugal I'm "kinda of" pale and desperate for some colour.

When I go to the beach I try not to forget my cap - to protect my head of course -, my sun glasses - so that I don't spend all day squinting my eyes -, a lip balm because I have dry lips - and sun block - although I want to get tanned, I don't want any skin problems. And even using sun block I still can tanned but at least it's a healthy tan and not a sun burn.
Remember girls  ALWAYS use sun block, I'm sure you don't want to get skin cancer or have horrible skin when you get older.

What are your beach essentials?

P.S.: I really want a Tribal/Aztec bikini even though I don't need a new bikini right now lol.

Outfit #12 - Festival Season

Outfit #12 - Festival Season by karenussene featuring barry m

Miss Selfridge / Glamorous denim short shorts, $23 / Topshop studded shoes / Zara mini handbag / Casio silver watch, $32 / ASOS , $12 / Silver bangle, $7.76 / Meadowlark onyx ring, $355 / Barry M , $4.36 / Models Own orange nail polish, $7.78 / Racerback top

EN: Hello Bananas! We are in May and you know what that means... Festival Season has started!

Now I haven't been to a concert (like a big proper one) in freaking ages. Living where I live is a big disadvantage so I can't go as much as I wished and I always end up not having money when it's time for Festivals :/.

Anyways today's outfit is what I would where if I would go to a open spaced concert. Let's be realistic, in a concert you can end up staying up for hours, so I need flat shoes, here in Portugal during Summer time it is hot has hell and I will bring a jacket because depending where the concert is at, the nights sometimes - soooometimmeesss - can be a bit chilly.

Are you guys going to any concert/festivals this Summer?

PT: Olá Bananas! Estamos em Maio e para quem vive em Portugal sabe que a época de Festivais está mesmo ao virar da esquina.

A última vez que fui a um concerto - daqueles mesmo à séria - faz ooohhh anos. Uma das razões é por causa de onde eu vivo por isso não posso ir com muita frequência e também calha nunca ter dinheiro na altura dos Festivais :/.

De qualquer das formas o outfit de hoje é o que eu usaria num concerto ao ar livre. Sejamos realistas, num concerto uma pessoa passa horas em pé por isso preciso de sapatos rasos, aqui em Portugal vocês sabem bem como são as temperaturas no Verão e levaria um casaco porque às vezes - àààsss veeeezes - dependendo da zona, faz um briolezinho à noite.

Vocês vão a algum concerto/festival este Verão?

Hervé Léger classic black dress / Zara heels / Leather crossbody handbag / Bracelet jewelry / Mint jewelry, $35 / Miss Selfridge spike jewelry / Isharya , $135 / NARS Cosmetics lip gloss, $27 / Yves Saint Laurent yves saint laurent

EN: Hello Bananas! Like I said on my last post, on the 18th of April is my Birthday. Now I don't know what I'm going to do this year, probably is going to be very low key but ideally I wish I could go out at night to a nightclub but unfortunately I ain't got money for that :(. So I'm going to dream about it lol.

So the above outfit would be my birthday outfit, so what do you think? To much neon? It all started with the dress >.<. I love those Zara shoes, I think it from their new collection and you all know by now I love my spikes and skulls haha. For my nails and lips I would use something in the shades of coral.

PT: Olá Bananas! No meu último post eu contei-vos que o meu aniversário no dia 18 de Abril. Eu não sei o que vou fazer no meu aniversário mas provavelmente vai ser algo muito calmo e simples. O ideal era sair à noite e ir para uma discoteca mas infelizmente eu não tenho dinheiro para isso :(. Por isso vou sonhar sobre o assunto lol.

A roupa em cima seria o meu outfit para o meu aniversário, o que acham? Demasiado neon? Tudo começou com o vestido >.<. Eu adoro aquelas sandálias da Zara, acho que faz parte da nova colecção e depois como já devem saber eu amo os meus spikes (picos/tachas) e caveiras haha.Para as unhas e lábios usaria algo em tons de coral.

Outfit #10

Outfit #10 by karenussene featuring color block boots 

Wallis stoner shirt / Burberry trench coat / Burberry skinny fit jeans, $270 / Color block boots / Michael Kors watch, $345 / Ring / Sisley lipstick, $48 / Essie nail polish / Warby Parker Winston Eyeglasses / CÉLINE zip bag

EN: Hello Bananas! So a new month has started and already is kinda of sucking. All day over here it has been raining basically non stop and they say that it will continue to rain till Friday -_- BAH!

The outfit that I created was based on the current weather, there is nothing like a good classic trench/rain coat. The one that I used is from Burberry but of course I can't afford Burberry (or even the Céline bag or the Michael Kors watch lol). I used to have one somewhat similar to that one but I gave it to my mother just because I felt it was a bit to big for me, it was from Zara Lefties (2008/09?).

So what do you think about this outfit? I tend to be a bit matchy matchy, it's just the way I am XD.
P.S.: What do you think about the glasses? I'm hoping to find a model like this at a affordable price since my lenses are normally freaking expensive.

PT: Olá Bananas! Um novo mês já começou e já cheira mal. O dia todo esteve a chover  e agora dizem que vai continuar assim até sexta-feira -_- ai a minha vida ahn!.

O outfit que criei hoje foi com base no tempo que se faz lá fora, não há nada melhor do que uma boa gabardina/casaco impermeável assim com um formato clássico e intemporal. O que eu usei é da Burberry mas é óbvio eu não tenho dinheiro para um casaco da Burberry (ou até para a mala da Céline ou o relógio do Michael Kors lol). Eu tinha um casaco parecido a este mas dei à minha mãe, simplesmente porque ficava-me um bocadinho grande, principalmente nos ombros, era da Zara Lefties (2008/09).

O que é que acham deste outfit? 
P.S: O que acham dos óculos? Espero conseguir encontrar um modelo assim parecido a um preço acessível uma vez que só as minhas lentes são bué caras, eu sou um pouco cegueta :/.

EN: Hello Bananas! Today I decided to play around with Polyvore. Today I was feeling the Blues lol. It's a simple outfit, my favourite pieces are the leather jacket, that I already featured on another collage of my favourite winter jackets, I absolutely LOVE IT! And also the platform ankle booties, they are actually made in Portugal - Officina Lisboa - I freaking want a pair!

Anyways hope you like it, see you next time. x

PT: Olá Bananas! Hoje apeteceu-me brincar com o Polyvore. Tou numa de azul hoje. É um outfit muito simples, as minhas peças favoritas são o casaco de cabedal, que eu já tinha partilhado convosco noutro post com uma collage dos meus casacos favoritos para o Inverno, EU ADORO! E também os botins com plataforma de uma marca portuguesa - Officina Lisboa - quero tanto um par ou uns quantos vá lol.

EN: Yesterday I decided to play around at Polyvore and this is what happened. During Fall/Winter I'm a major sucker for Burgundy - or Oxblood something that I never heard before but this year is popping out everywhere - it's one of my favourite colours, next to black, grey, dark blue, yellow mustard and forest green for Fall/Winter. Do you guys like it?

PT: Ontem decidi brincar no Polyvore, e foi isto que aconteceu. Durante o Outono/Inverno eu amo o Bordeaux (cor-de-vinho) - ou Oxblood sei lá, algo que nunca ouvi na vida e agora está em todo lado - é uma das minhas cores favoritas juntamente com o preto, cinzento, azul escuro, amarelo mostarda e verde bem escuro para o Outono/Inverno. Gostaram?

I need YOUR opinion!

Next Sunday I have this Church thingy to go to over here in London, it´s like First Communion (Primeira Comunhão), of a little girl. 

So I would like to ask for YOUR opinion on these two outfits options. Mind you the dress is more of a Coral colour, but with the flash of my camera  it looks more pinkish and in terms d length it reaches me right around my knees. I was going to buy a new pair of shoes, in black but then I found out that the ones that I wanted are from a previous collection so I won´t be able to find them anymore, specially on my size -_- , God, and they were so cute and comfortable... anyways, I will use what I have. 

The First option on the left is with my Mint shoes from Primark, do this two colours go well together? If I do where those shoes I might buy a mint belt in order to match. Since after all I´m living IN LONDON and so far rain is predicted till the weekend, the back up plan is the second option, it's with my Black ankle boots from Seaside and I will wear them with black tights as well.

So what do you think? 

PPPLLLEEAASSEEE LET ME KNOW.

I thanking you in advance. xoxo

P.S. Update: I will wear a little cardigan jacket over it. Plus according to my family that have been to other church events here in London, there are people that wear worse outfits than mine XD so I'm guessing they Church people won't stop me of getting in hehe.
