Gingerbread Girl

Jumper: Topshop | Jacket: Primark | Leggings: Tezenis | Boots: Dr. Martens

February demands latte hues, even though I'm a black coffee drinker - I can't stand milk in my coffee. Baileys-coloured leggings, chocolate boots and a tweed jacket are subtle picks that make it possible for my adorably pretty red jumper with gingerbread men all over it to stand out! I love all things ginger, it's one of my favourite spices. Besides, it does wonders for your health, you know? I always cut some chunks of ginger root and add them to my lemon tea when I feel like the flu is taking over. The gingerbread man itself is, not only deliciously childhood-reminiscent but also cute and adorable. Even my body lotion smells like ginger! Sense a slight obsession?...
I actually had to purchase this cute garment through eBay, since it sold out within a couple of days at Topshop online. My mother found the jumper anecdotal - she asked me if it was a pyjama! Oh well, I shall wear it at work and I couldn't care less for the eventual comments.
My hair doesn't look so good, even though I layered it myself last night (not too much so I didn't end up looking like a cross between Joan Jett and a poodle), however, the colour doesn't look uniform. I must also mention the lipstick I'm wearing: it's the good old MAC Chili, one of my all time favourite lip colours.
So, how ridiculously christmassy do I look?

I wanna be your dog


Dress: Zara | Cardigan: thrifted | Brooch: vintage | Tights: Calzedonia | Sunglasses: ASOS | Beret: vintage | Boots: Primark



It's been cold outside (not even comparable to the real cold felt in Northern Europe though), hence the absence of posting daily outfits. Because of this temperature, I always feel terribly lazy to put on fancy clothes; honestly, sometimes I just feel like wrapping myself in a blanket-like wooly giant jumper and  legwarmers. Anyway, I'm very happy that I'm wearing my pooch brooch! It is a lovely gift from my grandfather and it looks adorable in almost every piece of clothing I own. I guess I just developed a new obsession over pins and brooches...! Be afraid.




Tem estado frio lá fora (embora nada comparável ao verdadeiro frio sentido no Norte da Europa), daí a ausência de posts com a vestimenta diária. Por causa da temperatura baixa, sinto-me sempre terrivelmente preguiçosa para me pôr a vestir roupa bonita; sinceramente só me apetece embrulhar-me numa camisola de lã gigantesca que se assemelhe a um cobertor e enfiar perneiras. De qualquer das formas, estou muito contente por estar a usar o meu pin do cãozinho! Foi uma adorável prenda oferecida pelo meu avô e fica bem espetada em quase todas as minhas peças de roupa. Cheira-me que despoleta em mim uma nova obsessão por pins e pregadeiras...! Medo.

Welcome Winter!



Everytime I post seasonal photoshooting, there is a slight delay. I should have posted this in December and add a Christmassy feeling to the whole concept but now it's too late for that so I just sticked to the cold hues of chilly January. Harsh, dry and freezy. However, compared to Northern European weather, our Winter is more like Spring! As you can see, the flowers are already blossoming! The climate is really freaking out for good.
I must admit I was inspired by Tim Burton in that afternoon, hence my doll-like apparel, Claudia's modern Ice Queen-like style and the dead trees under a cloudy, gray sky.

Sempre que faço um post sazonal, acaba por sair sempre atrasado. Eu devia ter feito logo isto em Dezembro, aproveitava e adicionava um feeling natalício ao conceito mas agora é tarde demais portanto fiquei-me pelos tons frios de um Janeiro gelado. Frio áspero, seco e cortante. Porém, comparado com o clima Norte-Europeu, por exemplo, o nosso Inverno mais parece Primavera! Como podem ver, as amendoeiras até já estão em flor prematuramente! O clima está totalmente doido.
Confesso que me deixei inspirar pelo Tim Burton nessa tarde, daí a minha indumentária abonecada, o estilo de Ice Queen versão moderna da Cláudia e as árvores mortas debaixo de um céu nublado e cinzento.
