A few people had told me that those few week before you actually turn 20 are terrifying. You get all depressed because, what if you want to be a teenager? I mean, I obviously wouldn´t like to become a prostitute of rich fat Russian men preference, but now I know thats not even an option. They´d think I was too old (thank god for that one, but you know what I mean). Every women who does not want kids gets a certain urge to be a mother when she´s told she can´t have them. Its human nature.
But in all seriousness, it´s hard to be told you´re past a certain phase of your life, in this case though, I should be happy, because I´m entering a very desirable one.

Which brings me to the question: In what decade is it ok for one to get depressed? I know what you´re going to say, 40. But guess what? Studies (and everyone I know) say that the 40´s are the happiest part of one´s life. So I´m still 20 years a part, even though, after the 20th, years just go by like that (I´m snapping my fingers). I´ll let you know later.

Meanwhile here´s a budget friendly list of things that I like. (Dear relatives) Maybe you can get inspired by this items. If not, I´m in need of some socks.

ps. I reviewed the MET GALA look here: http://www.facebook.com/Phigico 
spoilers alert: my best is Miss Dakota Fanning

Dior is Balling Skirts

When I first saw these skirts, lets say the blue one first, I thought "what the fuck is going on" and now, after having a month or so to calm down my opinion stays the same, and I have never meant that in such a good way. Its mind blowing, its unexpected, even for Dior. I mean, I am a 19, soon to be 20, year-old girl, but even though Anna Wintour was spotted wearing one of these beauties, I´m still drawn to wear it and and try to pull it off ladies.

Am I crazy? I do get crazy sometimes with the lack of visual interests for a while. But this skirt has something special, a silhouette I´d only wear on rare occasions like, say, prom, first communion, my aunt´s wedding, anywhere that I would be likely to regret my decision latter on.

Reasons why I´m in love:
- Ball skirt
- The ankle is showing (the second sexiest part of a women´s body, after the back)
- You can wear it with stilettos
- It´s unexpected
- It has movement
- You can´t help but feel French in it

Wait what? You want to know how I´d wear it in other to not look like an infant or an old lady? Let me clarify that for you. First of all, you look cool depending 90 per cent on your attitude towards the garment, if your confident about wearing it, if you´re having fun or felling sexy its half way there. Secondly, this skirt will not age you if you wear it with the right shoes (Stilettos for me, thank you. Do not underestimate them) and the right top (Simple black top, with or without sleeves, backless is a nice touch), I´d say the styling on the runway is actually very wearable, not overwhelming at all, and maybe even my hair back. Ps. No jewelry.

That is all folks. What is your crazy obsession you want to try out? 

OUTFIT 19: Lisboa

Overalls: River Island
Croped Top: Topshop
Sandals: Uterque

This week we made a campaign to promote Lisbon and these are some of the pictures taken by Zé Cabral, aka The Lisbon Taylor. We were going for a more clean look but I just couldn´t resist my sweet River Island overalls. Did I say I was obsessed with overalls? Time to dig up some oldies from moms closet. Hope you enjoy it.

Esta semana fizemos uma campanha para promover Lisboa e estão aqui algumas das fotografias, tiradas pelo Zé Cabral, também conhecido por O Alfaiate Lisboeta. No início tinha sido sugerido que fizéssemos um look mais clean, mas não consegui resistir a usar as milhas jardineiras da River Island, ando obcecada com jardineiras ultimamente. Está na altura de ir desenterrar algumas do closet da mãe. Espero que gostem.

Egging it out

Hello. Guess what? I´m an art student, sculpture, to be precise, and I haven´t spoken a lot about what I actually do. I guess the most common question people ask me is: do you plan on sculpting for a living? Yes. And no. I plan on using it in the art of cinema, I feel like having a fine arts background, being able to draw and sculpture, makes me more of a complete artist, I guess.

This is an assemblage I made called Unpacked , the main idea was to criticize the huge amount of eggs we buy and waist, by making a sculpture out of egg packages my family alone uses in a month. The piece ended up taking over 300 egg holders and over 30 expired eggs.

TBT: O ALFAIATE LISBOETA

Hey guys! Here´s a picture taken last year by the amazing Zé Cabral. I first saw his street style blog about two years ago and I it changed my perspective on blogging, a year and a half after I started my own. Meanwhile he took this picture of me and my boyfriend that you can also see here.

Aqui está uma fotografia tirada pelo fantástico Zé Cabral. Vi, pela primeira vez, o seu blog de street style acerca de dois anos e meio e mudou a minha perspectiva sobre blogging, passado um ano e meio comecei o meu próprio blog. Entretanto ele tirou esta fotografia de mim e do meu namorado, que também pode ser vista aqui.

(Instagraming and Iphoning)

I love my camera, but its 1,5 kg that you have to carry with you everywhere and, really, the iphone becomes more and more of a tempting alternative. Meanwhile, I´m sorry these outfit pictures look crappy but at least you record some memories, even if, at the end of the day, you wish you had brought your camera.

Btw, more on cameras this week. Spoiler: I´m going to talk about how broke my heart still is that my polaroid doesn´t work anymore and my new instant camera.

Eu adoro a minha câmara, mas são sempre 1,5 kg que tenho de levar comigo e, sinceramente, o iphone é cada vez mais uma alternativa tentação. Lamento que estas fotografias não tenham tanta qualidade mas ao menos podemos gravar memórias, apesar de, no fim do dia, sempre desejar que tivesse levado a minha câmara. 

Por falar em câmaras, vou falar delas esta semana. Spoiler: Vou falar em como não consigo ultrapassar o facto de não puder usar a minha polaroid e da minha nova câmara instantânea.
