FALL/AUTUMN ESSENTIALS

Oh hi darlings!

I haven't been posting and I am truly sorry about that, but this semester has been super busy, crazy and difficult. I barely have time to relax or do something fun.

Here are some Autumn trends, places where to buy them and outfit ideas. I hope you get some inspiration! Have a nice day :)

Faux Leather

It is sexy, it is classy, and it screams autumn!

It could be a faux leather skirt or shorts, could be a simple leather jacket or it could be just accents and details on other pieces of clothing! Here are some looks from the Missguided site:

From Missguided

Tartan
Sophisticated and a really nice pop of colour and texture, looks amazing with almost everything!

From Zara (scarf) and Missguided

Circle/skater skirts

Very flattering and cute, suits every body type, it is really elegant and fancy and goes perfectly with some black tights underneath. You will look classy and sweet!

From Topshop and H&M

Pompom knitted hats

Really useful for those cold days (and bad hair days), it keeps you warm and they are really adorable.

Primark Haul

Oh hi darlings!

Today I went to Primark and did a little bit of shopping. My purchases were all tops and I really needed some for fall/autumn, so it was justifiable. The prices were accessible, as always, and the pieces were all really good quality! In the morning, when I arrived, the store wasn't opened yet, but I was surprised by the line of people in front of it... Obviously, it wasn't full because it was huge, but one hour later it was too busy and crowded for my liking, so I went to the till and left the confusion with a paper bag full of clothes, really satisfied with all that I had bought.

Here are the bits that I purchased

Primark

Oh hi darlings!

A new Primark store opened in Lisbon! It is the biggest store in the Iberian Peninsula, with 4.350 square metres. It is enormous! I will be going next Wednesday with a friend and I will show you what I got.

Abriu uma nova Primark em Lisboa, no Centro Comercial Colombo! É a maior loja da Península Ibérica, com 4.350 metros quadrados. É gigante! Eu vou lá na próxima Quarta-feira e mostro o que comprei.

October!

Oh hi darlings!

Hello October, welcome! This month means autumn is really here. It also means tests all weeks, Halloween (even though we don't celebrate it in Portugal), scarfs and light knits, boots (I love them!) and finally candles with that orangy and warm flame, and of course, sweet and strong scents! I LOVE THIS MONTH!

Olá Outubro, bem-vindo! Este mês significa que o outono está mesmo aqui. Também significa que tenho testes todas as semanas, halloween (apesar de não o celebrarmos em Portugal), lenços e malhas finas, botas (adoro!) e, finalmente, velas com aquela chama laranja e quente, e claro cheiros doces e fortes! ADORO ESTE MÊS!

Let's go to the beach!

Oh hi darlings!

Wednesday I went to the beach on a field trip! I was the first real autumn/fall day, started to rain when we left the uni but then the sun showed up to bring some smiles! Here are some photos.
And by the way, I went for a sweatshirt with leggings, very comfy and casual, nothing special...

Quarta-feira fui à praia numa saída de campo! Foi o primeiro verdadeiro dia de outono, começou a chover quando saímos da faculdade mas depois o sol apareceu para trazer sorrisos! Aqui estão algumas fotografias.
E já agora, tinha vestido uma sweat e leggings, confortável e casual, nada de especial...

The typical selfie

Autumn / Fall is here!

Oh hi darlings!

Autumn is here! It is the season when the leaves start to change colours and the pavements get all covered in warm tones and crunchy textures... The days get colder and the grey clouds begin to hide the blue sky. The hot beverage season begins and so do the evenings in the sofa, cuddling with a fuzzy blanket! The coziest and most delightful time of the year has arrived!  

O outono chegou! É a estação do ano onde as folhas começam a mudar de cor e os passeios ficam cobertos por cores quentes e texturas quebradiças... Os dias ficam mais frios e as nuvens escuras começam a esconder o céu azul. A altura das bebidas quentes começa e também os fins de tarde no sofá, embrulhada num cobertor fofinho! A época mais aconlhedora do ano chegou e é muito bem-vinda!

I am so excited for Autumn/Fall!

My biggest inspiration - Wendy's Lookbook

Oh hi darlings!

I follow loads of blogs on Bloglovin, mostly beauty or fashion blogs. I follow more beauty than fashion blogs, although I relate a lot more with fashion than with beauty. I really like to know things about make-up and skincare, but I don't use much of it. On the other hand, clothes and fashion make me crazy: I LOVE THEM!

My favourite fashion blog is Wendy's Lookbook. There is something about her that makes me really happy and inspired. Every single look she presents in her blog is absolutely perfect. It is an art like I've never seen before! All those pieces are perfectly and flawlessly conjugated, it is like they are made for each other... 

Her style is so classy, elegant and girly, I really love it.

And one more thing: she reuses her pieces, which is amazing!

Sorry for the fangirling moment, but I had to tell someone about her!

This outfit made me drool and of one thing I'm certain: I could never pull this off!

OMG these pumps! Made of fairy dust

yours, Joana

Autumn/Fall nail polishes

Oh hi darlings!

I love nail polish! For me, painting my nails is something that relaxes me and puts me in a good mood.

I have seen in magazines the most worn nail polish colours and made collages of some beautiful colours!

I hope you like it.

The classic and never outdated reds

The mysterious and chic deep blues

The amazing purples

The elegant and fancy greys

What are your favourite colours for autumn?

yours, Joana

ROAR

Oh hi darlings!

I hope you're having a great, happy day,and I just wanted to post this videoclip because I think it is beautiful and inspirational! And Katy looks amazing!
