Dinner at Mullens


Yesterday evening I had dinner in Mullens with Cláudia and her boyfriend (yes, I know, I'm always the third wheel ahah!). The chicken pesto was literally melting in my mouth, the wine was not too bad and Mozie (aka beef Mozambique) had this juicy flavour with a hint of coffee (?)... Oh, and the chips! Best motherfucking chips in town!
I have this theory about drinking (alcohol) and eating at the same time: if you keep on drinking during a meal, your gradually intoxicated brain will, eventually, stop being able to let you know when you are full, so you can keep on eating: it's a convenient balance between your digestion and your tipsiness.

Baileys and Brownies

Tunic: Vintage | Brooch: ModCloth | Leggings: Primark | Boots: Dr. Martens | Lipstick: MAC Ruby Woo

I was VERY lazy this afternoon but I forced myself to wake up at a reasonable time and go for a walk with Cláudia. Even though the skies are relatively grey by now, it's not really chilly outside. In fact, I had the impression that it's still Summer, only not so torrid.

It didn't take too long to decide what to wear today - it's easier when I'm in a rather neutral mood and tend to go for something practical and comfortable. The chocolate-coloured boots, paired with Baileys-hued leggings, make me look a bit like Lara Croft with an equestrian approach. The bag's floral print softens the outfit and I added that lovely brooch so it looked more playful and less... adult. Classy and whimsy, right? The brown brocade of my tunic has an exquisite texture and I love to wear it with or without leggings. My face looks goofy as usual but oh, well, at least I'm noticing how less tanned I am, day after day, which is quite an achievement.
