What I'm Wrapped Up In
Merry Christmas my little pies. Who's got a massive belly and a drawer full of socks?! HA.
FavSongOfTheDay #25
I'm a naughty, naughty wanna-be blogger that has made herself too busy for her own good. And now I'm talking about myself on the 3rd person which gives you an idea of how mad I am these days. It's all coming I promise but until then, thought I should leave you with the song I'm listening to on loop since Saturday and moving my arms like a crazy person at work. Absolutely love this video!

Even better than this one is that one down there I discovered last week - late, I know!
Current Obsession #1: The Long Cardigan
I keep getting stuck to the screen when I see everyone's wishlist posts that have stuff I actually want.

What I'm Wrapped Up In
As I always say, the best looks are the unplanned ones. Especially when they involve a lot of black & white.My Algarve Diary
Yoooo! How is everyone doing? Getting the summer blues? So here's a colourful holiday post to cheer you up.
FavSongOfTheDay #24
Setting my mood today, my zen favourite at the moment. Found it at La Belle Mixtape and shazamed it like 3 times without noticing. That's when you know you're addicted.

WI'MWUI #76: Country Mint
What I'm Wrapped Up In
It's a little village called Cacela Velha. Oh and it's a mint green top I'm in love with.

What I'm Wrapped Up In
Hello ladies! Today's post is a special one, with all photos taken yesterday at London Fashion Weekend.I ❤️ Bruno #wireless
Quick, quick, quick. This one is ridiculously overdue and I'm not going to bore you with the details. This year was the Festivals' year - I've been everywhere.
WI'MWUI #73: Camel Culottes
What I'm Wrapped Up In
Never thought culottes were for me... But I guess these midget legs were asking for it.
M&S AW14 Collection
Well, hello there! This is not my usual type of post but I received this new advert campaign on my blog inbox and absolutely loved it. Since we're on Fashion Week mode, why not..? I like the fact that M&S invest quite a lot of effort on their commercial campaigns (like the Christmas one last year!) and even though they're not my go-to shop in fashion terms, I must say I have my eyes on that light grey cape/woollen scarf for when Autumn arrives... Have a look x
FavSongOfTheDay #22 - Another big one
Remember a while ago (here) I posted a big playlist I was addicted to? Well there are many more. And they are freaking awesome. And they will for sure be playing at all my dinner parties in my new little housie from next week on.

My FAVE at the moment. Sis and I were uber excited in Vilamoura every time this was on. Like, way too excited. No tiny doubt it will forever be my Summer 2014 song - 'cause I'm cheesy like that.

If you're in London today you will understand my need of posting this right now.
FavSongOfTheDay #20
I've been missing out on the summer songs here! One more to add to the playlist - Klingande kind of style with that saxophone that drives us c-raaazy. That's screaming SARDINIA all over the place, that is.

WI'MWUI #71: Denim will always be the way.
What I'm Wrapped Up In
You really want to wear that skirt. And you really don't want to wear just another white top again.
WI'MWUI #68: dot dot dot.
What I'm Wrapped Up In
My NYC posts have finished. #sadface. But there are always a couple of outfits that were missed out...
WI'MWUI #66: Festival is on.
What I'm Wrapped Up In
Given that the Festival season is still on, here's a rock(ing) look to go with it.
NYC Guide: Day 5 & One Hell Of A Game
After a (fairly) chilled hangover day, we had a long one ahead. Not that my feet didn't hurt with all that walking, but we went strong and kept going. Headed to the Brooklyn Bridge for a morning of sunshine!
WI'MWUI #65: Floaty.
What I'm Wrapped Up In
Hi guys! You good? I'm struggling a bit this week to try and fit in everything I need to do before heading to Portugal on Thursday. Yep, that’s right, I’m flying again...

Morning nervous breakdown
People can't even read a newspaper these days on London Underground. Unless they're acrobats there's no way they will manage to hold that massive piece of paper without using someone else's head as a book rest. And if they do, there's absolutely no way they are going to be able to turn the page once they've finish - so here you go, take your time as you'll be looking at the same article for a good 12 minute journey.

I'm obviously writing this on a bad day. You can imagine. I got the exact same train as I did the rest of the week and, this time, I got to Victoria just to be surprised with an agglomerate of people forming what they call a queue. Why? Because the doors to the tube were closed. So explain the phenomenon: is Thursday that particular day when everyone works in London? No one likes the rest of the week? Do companies give candies on Thursdays? No. I don't think so.
So what? Well something must have failed. Someone jumped in front of a train, a cable got broken, a train decided not to work, the driver had a big night last night... Or maybe we had more than the usual special ones that massage their Oyster cards against the thing for 3 minutes instead of the normal tap in, tap out, who knows. We'll never know.
FavSongOfTheDay #19
Just a week to watch Bastille LIVE, at Optimus Alive - the best Summer Festival in the woooorld, held in Lisbon. And just found this cover of Miley's song that the girlie side of me loves. New fave!

O ataque aos blogs
Sendo que é Segunda-feira e não me apetece mexer um dedinho que seja, dediquei-me a procurar uns blogues portugueses para desanuviar e mudar de registo. Qual não é o meu espanto quando, duas horas depois, continuo colada ao ecrã a ler comentários longos e gloriosos de seguidores amorosos que se dedicam ao desaforo gratuito e ao criticismo sem fim. Principalmente nos blogs d'A Pipoca Mais Doce e d'O Arrumadinho - dois bloggers casados, famosos e com pilhas de graça. Não sei se são mais atacados por serem de facto Marido e Mulher ou se por tocarem em pontos mais propícios a discussão que outros. Não me venham dizer que só são atacados porque têm uma visibilidade maior porque há milhentos blogues internacionais mais famosos e com mais seguidores que não têm uma lista de 78 comentários - todos negativos, pessimistas, maldosos e que só dão vontade de rir. Vá, estou a ser má, dos 78 há 8 que não enxuvalham os autores, autores estes que segundo os seus leitores são arrogantes, convencidos, que sabem tudo sobre tudo, que têm uma sorte louca porque têm um blog que os sustenta enquanto eu, pobre coitado leitor, ando aqui a contar tostões.

NYC Guide: Day 4 & One Big Hangover
WI'MWUI #62: Picnic matchy.
What I'm Wrapped Up In
Hey there Sunday lovers. So, I went to Prague and came back with a new H&M wardrobe.
NYC Guide: Day 3 & Way Too Many Photos
There's not much to say about Day 3 really. I'd rather just show you. Sun was out, the city could not be prettier and the camera ran out of battery. Joking, only after we took about 1356 photos at Times Square.

A bit of 'cheese' to cheer you all up! I was never a big fan of little James but do like this girlie one and so it's rocking my playlist, obvs.

What I'm Wrapped Up In
Suuuuper quick outfit before I go get rained on at Field Day. Actually, scrap that - the sun is shining loversss!
Have I mentioned I've just booked Sardinia?!
Oh I haven't?! Shame on me. So summer is coming, beach is screaming my name and my wallet is having a nervous breakdown. But what matters is I'm going to Portugal, Lisbon AND Algarve throughout July and August and then I'm off to Sardinia with the crazy Beefs. Yoohoo. I'm expecting it to look like this:
WI'MWUI #58: Sheinside.
Well hello Monday lovers. Had a nice weekend? I had a wedding to go to with a road trip included. How exciting. But more exciting than that is my Sheinside dress.
FavSongOfTheDay #16
So... I may have started watching Gossip Girl from the beginning after I've been to NYC. Bit lame I know but come on, how different is it now that I know all the places?!
Well, one of the good things is the soundtrack so take this and chiiiiill x
