5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW IF YOU FLY A LOT

At the end of another rush weekend back home, where you try to fit 345 activities in two and a half days and still get surprised you don't quite manage to do them all, thought I'd do a list of a few basics we should all know if we fly a lot.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH A PORTUGUESE FROM AN ENGLISH PERSON IN A LISBON-LONDON FLIGHT

The Portuguese person will open the sandwich package on top, slide the sandwich up like a lipstick and eat it without getting their hands dirty; the English person will rip the package open in the middle, take it off altogether and eat their sandwich spreading crumbs across their seat and everyone else's. Then, the Portuguese person with clean hands will open the napkin package, take it off and wipe their already clean mouth and hands; the English person will most likely not even notice there is a napkin there unless they somehow need sugar for their tea - very unlikely. If they do, they'll take the sugar off and leave the napkin inside, untouched.

Easter Snaps

And the Easter break is gone. How about a quick run through the best bits with some stunning pictures to add to it? Oh go on then. 

It started well with an amazing lunch at Bar do Guincho.

Totally recommend it if you're staying in Cascais, even for a quick visit. Amazing view of Praia da Adrága and, as you can tell, amazing food to go with it. Don't forget to order the white Sangria - oh summer!




Once our stomachs stopped complaining, we headed to Boca do Inferno for a little touristic pretend - since every time the Beef comes to town, all we do is eat and drink with the family, culture not so much.



The (three) kids had some fun at the beach.






Easter Sunday was spent in Sintra - a lot of family and babies everywhere!









Monday was time for some (and the only) shopping at Chiado with the sun shining! Then a quick bite at No Solo Italia in Belém - near the river, amazing food and even better caipiroskas!

A good long weekend, never quite long enough...

In love with... #11: The white shoes


So... My trip to Portugal may have been a bit more expensive than what I wanted it to be. I was actually quite good with food as we had so much family time that we barely spent any money in eating out. But that didn't stop me from popping by Eureka Shoes store at Chiado to have a quick look. And get another pair of their amazing shoes, obvs. Fell absolutely in love with these beauts as soon as I walked in. They had them in dark blue as well but the white ones were looking at me with those puppy eyes as usual... Don't miss out the new post coming on Eureka Shoes store and their SS14 collection!

All about #ModaLisboa

A last minute trip to Portugal to visit the crazy family, a last minute outfit purchase after a flight spent reading LOOK Magazine, a last minute ticket to Lisbon Fashion Week (aka Moda Lisboa). Ahhhh. What could have been better than arriving at my lovely hometown only to realise Fashion Week was happening that weekend? Other than a Chanel bag waiting for me at home, nothing really. 



So that was it, the awesome Patricia from Food, Fashion and Make Up blog - check it out here, you're going to loooove it! - got me 2 tickets for Moda Lisboa and I took my sister to look at some clothes. Well you know me, I obvs enjoyed looking at the clothes everyone was wearing much more than the actual catwalk ones. But the whole thing just got me excited. Cameras, photographers, free fashion magazines, clothes and pretty (ok, some were very weird) people. All that to add to the sunniest day in months - you got me beyond hysterical. 




Had bought these trousers at (the usual trip to) Zara the day before and didn't even think twice. Must say they are a tiny bit warm, being made of that fabric I hate that feels like I'm inside of a scuba-diving suit. But they dressed well and were awesome so got them & love them. Sis was looking so great that I still have nightmares for not having a yellow blaser like that.



Some photoshoots later, we went in to watch Lidija Kolovrat's show - sorry, never heard of you Lidija, but you haven't done too bad. 













Some Portuguese celebs, some more goodies, a lot more photos...






Special stop at Eureka's showcase, our very fav Portuguese brand that has the best shoes EVER (see here and here). We've been told they have a Flagship Store in Porto that is to die for! Next trip to Porto, don't miss out. 





The whole thing lasted only for a couple of hours but we got the taste. And it was good gossip, that's for sure. Next stop - September's London Fashion Week if I'm so lucky and my lovely Sara from Lady Lipstick does super well in her fashion degree. Muah x
