3 Topshop Eyeshadows

PT: À alguns meses atrás passei pela Topshop na época de saldos e é normalmente quando eu compro qualquer cosinha por lá. Eu decedi explorar um pouco a maquilhagem e acbei por comprar um verniz (que eventualmente irei fazer um post) e três sombras para os olhos.

No que toca a maquilhagem, a Topshop não está necessariamente no topo da minha lista mas existem algumas coisas boazitas.

EN: A few months ago there was a sale at Topshop and normally that´s when I buy something there. I decided to explorer the Makeup stand a bit, so I ended up buy one nude nailpolish (that eventually I will blog about it) and three eyeshadows.

Now when it comes to makeup, Topshop is not necessarly on the top of my list but there a few nice things.

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.

Boots Wishlist #2

Boots wishlist by karenussene featuring dr martens boots

Topshop black boots / ASOS black boots / Topshop leather boots / Forever 21 army boots / Dr. Martens dr martens boots / H&M black boots, $20 / Miista ankle boots / Linzi | HELENKA | Women's Shoes, Boots & Sandals

EN: Now that I finally have my Parka, actually not only one but two, now I'm on a hunt for some boots. I have some mid and high heels boots but those are not always practical for everyday basis, so I'm looking mainly for flat boots that are also good for cold and rainy days in London.

Any suggestions? Something that is also affordable if possible. Ideally I would love a pair of Dr, Martens boots but they cost around £80 to £100 :(.

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!

Wishlist #1

Wishlist #1 by karenussene featuring chanel nailpolish

The Ragged Priest cotton varsity jacket, $76 / Mint green shoes / Rebecca Minkoff shoulder bag / Zara handbag / Makeup brush / Lock It Up 2.0 MODEMUSTHAVES, $19 / Chanel nailpolish

EN: Hello Bananas! You've seen this type of posts around in the BlogOspehere at some point and mine is no different.

Today I was at Fashiolista and there were a few things that I really wish I had them in my life... but I can't have them... for the time being.

What do you guys most wish for right now?

PT: Olá Bananas! Vocês de certeza que já viram este tipo de post pela BlogOesfera e o meu não será muito diferente.
Hoje passei pelo Fashiolista e houve algumas coisas que adorava ter tipooooo AGORA na minha vida... mas de momentos não posso.
O que é vocês mais gostariam de ter agora?

- Shiseido Brush - Since I saw that brush in someone's makeup tutorial I was like I NEED TO HAVE IT!

- Black Varsity7 Denva Jacket from Topshop by The Ragged Priest - It's In and it has spikes, what more can I want?

- Zara Envelope Bag - Since I saw Lilly Pebbles with one, it was like Love at first sight. Today I was in Zara but I only saw that envelope bag attached to another popular Zara bag from last year, I was like "what the hell?" but there is suppose to be a separate version as you can see in the picture and it's pretty affordable about 12,95€ I think.

- Golden Chain Necklace - Yep I want one of those too.

- Rebecca Minkoff Skylar Mini White Bag - Isn't adorable? And expensive as fudge, about 195€ (250$) FFUUUUUUU.

- Channel 583 Taboo nail polish - AMAZING! I feel like I'm looking into space.

- Mandy Mint Pumps - I haven't giving up getting a pair of shoes like this style. I can't afford Jeffrey Campbells (The Foxy's) right now and in Portugal SEASIDE has a cheaper version but the quality hhuuummm it doesn't look like it will last long.

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?

D.I.Y. #3 Revamp your jewelry - TOPSHOP Ear Cuff

EN: Hello everyone, today's post is a small D.I.Y. that I've done the other day.

When I was still living in London early this year I found this ear cuff earring in TOPSHOP for like half price or something and there were 3 options. All of them were gold but then the chain was either green, purple or pink so I took the green one. Passed some months forwards and that green bit started to annoy me. So the other day I grabbed it and decided to paint it all black!

PT: Olá a todos, o post de hoje é sobre um pequeno D.I.Y. que eu fiz no outro dia.

Quando ainda estava a viver em Londres no inicio deste ano eu encontrei este brinco/ear cuff na TOPSHOP por metade do preço acho eu e havia 3 opções. Todos eram de tom dourado mas depois a corrente ou era verde, roxo ou rosa, então eu escolhi a verde. Passado alguns meses e aquela parte verde começou-me a chatear. E então no outro dia peguei no brinco e decidi pintar todo de preto!

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.

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?

American's Next Top Model V.S. Britain's Next Top Model

Last week I saw the 6th season of Britain's Next Top Model on the internet, and I’ve been watching the 14th season of American Next Top Model on TV, and I think the U.K. version is better than the U.S. version.... I'm just saying....

The American original version is presented by Tyra Banks, the last season of the British version was presented by Elle MacPherson.

I don’t know why, maybe is the fashion in it, I prefer the British XD, maybe is because I lived in the U.K. for 9 months and I’ve been influenced. hehe
