Ok I admit it. I'm in a fur kind of mood. Don't ask me why but these beauties scream for my name in the shops and I just can't say no. The Beef asks every day if I'm wearing the same top as yesterday - poor thing, his fashion skills don't go much further than texture, not even colour sometimes. To be fair, I have been filling up the wardrobe with all sorts of furry pieces lately - and oh they do take a lot of precious space! Wore this outfit last weekend for an amazing dinner at Burger & Lobster (post to be up soon!) - after all lobster demands some fashion rules no?!

Oh the leopard print never disappoints. Or the fur. I must say I pushed it a bit over the edge this time as it wasn't a casual day at work but oh well I'm wearing a blaser aren't I?! Love the yellow top for a bit of life in the combo - as my Downton Abbey faves would say, we mustn't be stuck to the black & white all the time even if we really want to sometimes. Also in love with my new make-up! Like it? Tell meeee. 

It's been a while since my last Taps&Burgs post - shame on me. Guess I haven't been going out for dinner as often (bit too maniac at work!) but nothing to stop me eating my favs of course. Today's place is a proper Tapas one, where I used to go with my lovely Spanish class girls back at the old job - The Port House.

And then the usual chorizo platter & patatas bravas.

There are a lot annoying things with a phone. Just a general one, not being picky about brands. It's annoying when you're texting, want to delete a word and somehow manage to delete the whole sentence; it's annoying when you're writing an email and there's no internet when you press send; it's annoying when you're in a rush and every word you type goes wrong and becomes even more wrong with the auto correct; it's very annoying when you press send too quickly, the auto correct is quicker and you have to resend it; it's annoying when you're writing a huge blog post and run out of battery without saving. I could go on for 3 days here. But what is REALLY annoying is the fact that your 1% of battery lasts for about 2 hours when you're home, right next to a charger and just being lazy; and your 10% of battery last about 5 nanoseconds when you're alone in the middle of the night and desperately need to call someone to know where you're going. That my friends, just drives a poor soul to madness.

Right, if you come here fairly often or know me the slightest you've probably noticed make-up is not really my thing. I don't wear much and I don't post about it - mainly because I know very little about the subject. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those perfect little girls that are naturally tanned, with super long eyelashes and Adriana Lima's lips (yuk, hate this word!). But I guess I was quite blessed with my skin - or so my friends tell me - and therefore never learnt anything I should have! I blame the Mum and the Sister, that are exactly the same. My Mum goes crazy with a tiny bit of eyeliner every day and my Sister... Well my sister has a whole set of expensive make-up that gets used like once a month. 

The tartan leggings. Haaaa. This is actually quite a funny purchase. I've been a bit obsessed with the whole tartan, plaid and check pattern in general and have acquired quite a few clothes of this trend. These ones were a result of my morning scan through the wind of clothes around me in the tube rush. Saw the skinniest girl wearing them and suddenly I had to have them. I had definitely seen then before, no idea where but that couldn't be so hard to find out could it?! It wasn't, first pop into Topshop and there they were, waiting for me in the petite section. Loooove at first sight.

Hello blog friends! Here is a casual & very furry outfit from this weekend. Had my eyes on this Topshop jumper for about 2 months and did nothing about it but of course when it was still there on Sale I knew I had to have it. We can't ignore these signs can we?! And because the fur wasn't enough, had to top it up with a feathers' collar t-shirt underneath... Like it?!

#fromwhereistand. A post-Christmas outfit, rocking the new baby tigers. I couldn't tell you how long I've run after these shorts. Too many Zaras, that's the truth. And to finalise, my furry friend that never disappoints.

My dearest friends, I come in peace to express my frustrations and give a bit of a tip on a peculiar subject. I'm pretty sure the majority of men who are potentially reading this never even thought about what I'm about to say so this is for you. And some women too, don't think you can leave your seat!

What a weird post header, you must be thinking. Well, it feels like I should do a cheery post for hitting the 10,000 views! Yoohoo! I would in fact be ridiculously happy about this (I secretly am!) if it wasn't for the Beef to keep saying these are all robots. You know, those weird websites like vampirestat that apparently contribute largely for your blog's page views so they can have some too - still think this is the stupidest job ever, sorry if any of you is part of it. But seriously, someone's here trying to have a cool blog with loads of people coming in and getting automatically blind with all the pinkness but still coming back for some reason... And I can't find out if they are true human beings or just a bunch of robots. The Beef says they're ALL robots. All of you! What a lack of faith. Anyway, since I do believe some of you are, in fact, real (ok at least my Mum, my best friends and the Beef...) - thank you lots for reading me, laughing at me, commenting me, inspire me and... making me want to fall over in bathrooms more just so I have something funny to post about. YOU ROCK.

Now my 2014 Blog Resolution is to make the pink platform bigger, better and broader. 3 B's. So please do share & suggest - new ideas, posts, subjects, looks, everything! - to help me making this happen! New email address to follow in the Me, Me, Me page so you can bombard me with messages of all sorts (except insults, I get quite sensitive!). 

<3 M

#schoolgirl. Yep, I've surrendered to the school girl wave and got my tartan skirt/shorts in one of my trips to Zara's sale. In-love. That said, couldn't resist to try on the whole outfit. Must say it does not help me being a midget and having to carry a laptop in a bagpack around - I look no older than about 12. Still, my shorts are awesome.

Evening, blog friends. This post is a special one because my outfit comes from a special place. As I posted before, this is clearly the coat & heavy cardigan season. With this, we mustn't forget the capes. I know, I know it's all a bit 'The Little Red Riding Hood' story... But! You absolutely cannot deny the come back of the capes this year and the need we have to get our hands on them. Because of this, I got my perfect cape made just for me by Verde Agua's atelier. It does sound all Portuguese I know but the demand is such that I'm sure it will be soon (if not yet) shipping the beauties abroad. 

And I'm back with the Portuguese delights. This one is a brunch type of place that I definitely try to go to when I'm in Lisbon. The place is amazing, the people are super nice and the food is absolutely delicious with that hint of healthiness that doesn't make you feel like you have to run to the gym right after.
