Hehheh I know I've been a really rubbish blogger lately,  but I've just been having so much fun with all the new things going on, I've simply not had enough time! New school comes with new everything, and I'm so glad, that so far most of it has been brilliant.
I'm a bit confused about what to think about autumn right now... I love wrapping up in layers of different fabrics and knits. I also love the beautiful shades of orange that emerge during this time of the year, BUT I cannot stand the cold. I'd love to sail through these chilly seasons feeling happy and wearing clothes because I like the look of them, not because I need them. There is a significant difference! Anyways, I'll a way to pull through. I mean, I have so far! To anyone suffering from the approaching chill, I hope to pass warmth through these pics!

Uma Bica, Por Favor !

Evening!
Last weekend my mother and I visited the stunning Lisbon. The whole city looked as though a single design couldn't be decided upon, so everyone got their own slot of a building and decorated it as they liked. Dramatic colours and strong features lay quite peacefully next to a white, lacy neighbouring slot. It, to me, portrayed true latino temperament - fantastic!
We didn't want this to primarily be a shopping trip, so we explored the different parts of the city. By foot. Yes, it was very tiring, but all worth it! The narrow streets of the old town, Alfama, were charming, yet filled with the kinds of people you really wanted to avoid. (Bags under your arms, girls!) I was , however, (very) pleasantly surprised when we bumped into a beautiful shopping street in Chiado during one of our escapades. Very nice! Found a few staples, such as a long, dark chocolate coloured cardigan and a pair of black skinnies (to mostly make up for leggings), but I also found a nice stripy blazer. The blazer will be great with an otherwise plain look. Just to jazz things up a wee bit!
