About the simple things | Coffee & camel scarfs

Por razão alguma, estabeleci na minha cabeça que camel era cor de adulto. Talvez por folhear os blazers da Stella McCartney pela Vogue ou pelo sobretudo que a minha mãe guardava religiosamente no closet para os dias de festa. "Suja-se muito", dizia ela. E eu, que já há mais de uma década, estou (des)comprometida com o preto, não me aproximava deste tom. Tudo mudou, quando vi a Lydia usar o seu Burberry scarf com uma leather skirt, num black quase everything. Entrei numa verdadeira hunt ao camel scarf, passando pelo stalk a alguns Burberry vintage e até chegar a este cachecol da H&M. Sou franca, foi a Acne-vibe que me fez comprá-lo. Isso e a promessa de que me seria fiel nos próximos 3 meses de duro frio com que Estocolmo me irá receber. Este combo tem sido o meu uniforme e não podia deixar de o ser nesta tarde com a Carolina, a beber um cappuccino do Heim Cafe que há muito desejava (voltaremos, seguramente, para repetir o melhor brunch de Lisboa).

The trench life

 
 

Some weeks ago, I was unpacking my winter clothes and found this sweater - I haven't seen it for 2 years, since a huge Beyoncé power crush. That song isn't as viral today, but the feeling remains. So does the provocative sentence. Wearing a sweater saying "I woke up like this" when you have a full face of makeup and hair done is a provocative way to send the message: criticizing the establish idea that women have to always perfect. We all wake up full of dark circles, bed hair and bad mood.

5 Autumn Basics | The checked blazer and other stories

 

 
 
  

 

My relationship with this trend started as a love/hate one. Honestly, there’s something in me that repulses a piece when it gets too trendy – everyone will use it, the originality will be lost and it goes from trend to a random boring piece. That happened with straw bags, mules and so many other pieces that spammed my instagram daily. But when I entered H&M and bumped into this blazer, it all went away. The shy red details lining the pattern were pure perfection. I saw myself wearing that jacked in 10 years, in 20… In that day, I surrendered to the checked blazer. And end up using it on Lisbon Fashion Week.

Once this is my favorite season and we are rebranding our closets, I chose 5 ultimate Autumn Basics.

1. The checked blazer – You can find this piece in any fashion department these days and my reasons to buy it, here.

2. A golden necklace – Debora Rosa and Aimee Song made me do it! It’s unbelievable how such a simple piece can complete your outfits and give it a twist. It goes almost with everything and the best tip is to wear it layered. My favourite are from CINCO store.

3. The basic white T – Who the heck doesn’t have a white t-shirt? Good, now you just have to pair it with the right pieces. During the transitional season it’s all about mom/straight jeans and a nice blazer. This is a good piece to invest in, but if you prefer cheaper options, Zara makes them just as great.

4. Leather skirt – This piece is one of those problematic things in fashion, along with the leopard print. But fear not, this season there’s nothing more elegant than a leather skirt – it’s all about dressing it up: choose a sweater for some comfort or a shirt for a more office vibe.

5. Sock boots – Looks weird at first but then you get used to it. If someone told me that I would be craving some Balenciaga sock boots some years ago I would doubt that very much. The truth is that I really do. For a less expensive option yet still luxurious, go for a walk on Lefties or Zara.

OOTD | Singing the blues

 
 

Não há nada que me traga maior felicidade do que o regresso do sol e dos dias mornos, um passeio pela Baixa de Lisboa e um pastel quentinho! Os azulejos em tom ciano chamaram-nos à atenção enquanto passávamos e soubemos, de imediato, que este seria o local para fotografar este look. E quem disse que azul sobre azul é mau? Nem sempre é fácil pensar em outfits quando passamos o dia com a farda da clínica universitária, em look full white, e as skinny pretas e a mala da Zara de que vos falei tornaram-se o meu uniforme outside campus. Basta juntar-lhes moccasins et voilá.

Love you all ♡
