I don't know about you, but with Fall almost upon us, I'm already looking up what's new in stores and I have to say this year's Fall trends are very obvious. We've got an abundance of plaid (when do we not in the colder months?), sheer everything and lots of lace. Since I found myself unusually inspired by all of the new collections, I decided to do a little breakdown of each trend and show...
Over three years ago, I wrote all about my struggle fitting into a very specific mold that all clothing stores seemed to cater to. I wrote about how poorly I felt about myself, my weight, my whole body, actually. It was an extremely intimidating thing to open up about, more so because it forced me to talk honestly about the way I had always felt about myself. It didn't bother me to write about it...
It's been a hot minute since my last makeup tutorial, hasn't it? I was scrolling through my photos and came across this makeup look and fell back in love with it! This was taken earlier this year, when it was still cold outside and I was rocking my brown tones for all my money's worth. So I decided to show you how to achieve this ridiculously easy makeup look, while also making this post into...
I don't know about you, but no matter how stressed out or tired I may be on any given day, I always find the time to lay back and listen to music. Be it on the way home from work or late at night when I just can't seem to fall asleep, music is the one step in my routine I never skip, no matter what. As for what I listen to, I'm honestly all...
I don't know about you, but it almost feels like Summer is finally here in Portugal (keyword being almost, albeit the occasional downpour here and there). As always, before any season really hits, I go snooping about all of my favourite online stores, trying to see what's new in the hope of getting me all pumped up for the upcoming weather. Summer 2018 is no exception and, although I'm loving everything that's coming out clothing...
I remember how excited I was when they first announced the Nars launch in Portugal. For years I've been hearing everybody and their mother rave about Nars products, be it the infamous Laguna bronzer, the Orgasm blush or the Radiant Creamy concealer. The beauty community couldn't stop raving about products I couldn't ever get my hands on without spending a ridiculous amount on shipping and taxes, so I just silently lusted after them from afar,...
Over a year ago, I wrote a post on some of my favourite beauty/fashion blogs out there. Now, while I did include a couple of Portuguese blogs at the time, I'll admit I didn't follow that many to be able to come up with a full list dedicated to them alone. The blogosphere is so immense nowadays that it can be hard to find blogs from your country, especially if your first language isn't English....
Style is a very personal thing. Not everyone has the same boundaries, not everyone will enjoy the same cuts and patterns. Recreating celeb looks can be especially daunting when you don't share the same body type as the actual celeb or the same budget for said outfit. It was with all of this in mind — and a huge wave of inspiration for more fashion-focused posts on my part — that I decided to show you how to style...
2018 so far has been a really weird year for me! My life has changed so much this year: I started a new job, which meant a complete change of mindset and of my overall routine, since I have to dedicate so much more of my time to a (six days a week) full time job rather than having a simple part time. It wasn't a negative change, per sei, but it definitely has helped/forced...
I've always payed a lot of attention to my brows, even before I started to wear makeup. As a teen, my brows were pretty good, they were never thick or anything like that, but they had their own shape and they were growing, slowly but surely. I never went through any crazes when it came to maintaining them, never even wanted anything besides tweezers to take care of them. I remember that back when I...
