EN: First of all how crazy that we are already in July?!?! And then for those of us that live in London what kinda of a Summer is this? As I sit here writing this post it has rained already three times and in between a bit of sunshine, geez talk about a bipolar weather.

And as stupid as it sounds it makes my life harder in order to decide what to dress. You see rain you think okay I will wear my Parka/Trench coat but it's not cold so I will wear a lighter jacket but it's not long enough to protect a bit of my legs from the rain ssoooo the solution is a Duster/Lightweight Trench/Lightweight Parka (it's brand names it something different). It's a long coat but still very light. Yesterday I ordered my online and I hope it fits me nicely.

PT: Em primeiro lugar nem dá para acreditar que já estamos em Julho! E para aqueles que vivem em Londres que nem eu mas que raio de Verão é este? Então eu estou aqui a escrever este post já choveu três vezes e entre chuvaradas o sol resolve dar uma Olá, nooossa nunca vi tempo mais bipolar.

Pode parecer estúpido mas isto dificulta-me a vida quando tenho que decidir o que vestir. Ora se estiver a chover eu penso vou usar uma Parka mas não está frio então vou usar uma casaco mais leve mas esse não é longo o suficiente para proteger as minhas pernas da chuva entãoooooo a solução é um Duster/um Trench leve/uma Parka leve (cada marca dá um nome diferente a este estilo de casaco). É basicamente um casaco longo mas feito em geral com um material leve.

Ontem encomendei um online espero que me sirva como deve ser.

Rihanna for River Island

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.

These Boots are made for walking #1

Do you love it?

EN: When Fall/Autumn comes along I just think of BOOTS! I just simply love boots. And one of my main problems is that the boots that I  have eventually water filters in, even if they are from Bershka, Stradivarius, Zara, Seaside whateva, okei I know they aren't necessarily rain boots, they are just boots... but sometimes it really pisses me off. 

Soooo I really need to invest in a good pair of boots. Now on the collage that I made not all of those boots will be good for rainy days, specially the suede ones and some of them are ridiculously expensive but still they look nice hehe. 

One pair of boots that I've been wanting for yeeeaarrsss are the Dr Martens ones and when I say years I mean yeeaarrss, like 10 years already. In a way it's my fault that I end up wanting quantity over quality but also when I have some money it always ends up going for other stuff with a bigger priority. But I haven't given up, one day I will have a pair or two :P.

Which pair is your favourite?

PT: Quando o Outuno chega eu só penso em BOTAS! Eu amo botas. Um dos meus problemas é que a maior parte das minhas botas entra água -_-, sejam elas da Bershka, Stradivarius, Zara, Seaside etc... okei eu sei que elas não são necessariamente botas para a chuva, sõa simplesmente botas... mas ehpah fico P da vida.
Então preciso mesmo de investir no bom par de bota. Agora a collage que eu fiz nem todas as botas são boas para os dias de chuva, principalmente as de camurça e algumas são estupidamente caras mas são giras na mesma hehe.
Um par de botas que eu quero à aaanooooos são umas das Dr Martens e quando digo anos é mesno aannooosss para aí uma década já. De uma maneira a culpa é minha que acabo por querer quantidade sobre qualidade mas também muitas das vezes quando calha ter dinheiro algo acontece e então tenho que estabelecer as minhas prioridades.
Mas ainda não desisti de um dia  comprar um par ou dois :P.
Qual é o vosso par favorito?

Lana for H&M and RiRi for River Island

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?

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!
