Zara office citybag

Oh hi darlings!

There is one thing that I am really obsessed with: the office citybag from Zara! It's in my wishlist and it will be mine in the end of the month! It is so beautiful and classy and it is really similar to the Chanel Executive Tote Bag and the Prada Saffiano Leather Tote Bag.

These pictures are from the Zara website and at the end of March I will review it for you!

So So Happy!

Oh hi darlings!

Today I want to talk about some really cute stuff! I saw some amazing hoodies on the youtube and I wondered where they came from and then I discovered: SO SO HAPPY!

They have the cutest things ever! Plush, clothing items, jewelry, tech, among others!

This company tries to fight bullying and has invented these characters to show that different is a good thing and we should embrace our differences.They also donate 10% to charity.

If you want to know more about this company and their products, keep reading!

So these are some of the plush, they are so sweet and different!

And here are some of the hoodies! They all have different designs

 representing a certain monster and I want them all!

If you don't really feel like reading the info about the company, below, this video explains most of what this company is doing and has some information about this cute little characters:

By their words: (this info is on the website)

"Our mission: Make cool stuff.  Embrace individuality.  Build self confidence.  Inspire positivity and acceptance among all beings, real or imagined.

And so…wish-granting monsters, not-so-able-bodied defenders, cheerfully dysfunctional robots, and all sorts of oddities never contemplated by Nature stream forth from our collective consciousness, inspired by art, music, and generated doses of caffeinated beverages.

Our greater hope is that our little world of wonder and weirdness will encourage people to believe in themselves, embrace their individuality, to approach each day as a gift, and to never miss an opportunity to practice love, respect and kindness.

We’re so so happy to welcome you to our curiously delightful corner of the planet, where anything is possible and where Different is the new Normal.

We contribute 10% of our moolah to organizations who encourage, educate, and support young people.

Be Lucky…Spread Love…Live SO SO Happy!"

Amazing news!

Oh hi darlings!

So the other day I was on the Topshop website and saw this amazing shirts, but Topshop is not available in Portugal and the pieces are very expensive... Last night I went to the Stradivarius, Bershka and Pull and Bear websites and I was blown away because they made very similar ones! I was blasting in joy!

Take a look:

Topshop                                                     Stradivarius

Topshop                                                            Pull and Bear

Topshop                                                        Pull and Bear

I rest my case! hahaha

A little bit about me

Oh hi darlings!

A girl can love lots of things and I am one of those girls!

      1. CLOTHES

Image from gagcloud.com

I really love clothes and fashion, and although I really love statement pieces and keeping up with the trends, I also like to be comfortable and to have my own style.

I really love hoodies and cozy jumpers, leggings, denim shirts, floral items, loose fitted stuff but sometimes tight ones... It is a big world and a big love, and if I was rich I would be spending loads of money in various stores... Well, that is a good image in my mind indeed! hahaha

But there is not much to say about clothes, but it sure is where I spend most of my money at (but I am managing that).

      2. ACCESSORIES

Discrete or "look at me" rings, golden or silver necklaces, big or small earrings, all possible kinds of scarves, handbags with different designs... I could describe them all day, but I won't. I will just say that I love all that jazz and that I prefer silver jewelry, all kinds of scarves and spacious and big handbags!

      3. MAKE-UP

Image from m.a.c. cosmetics tumblr

I used to play with my mother's make-up since I was a little girl, specially lipstick and I could not wait until I was old enough to play with all of that, but only recently I started to learn things about make-up and really using it.

In my last school lots of girls already used foundation, eyeshadow, etc, but I was one lucky girl with my skin because I didn't had pimples, imperfections or anything like that (only really dark circles, that unfortunately I still have today) so there was a reason for me not to wear make-up.

Until I stumbled across some videos of beauty gurus on YouTube and really wanted to use all that junk so I bought little cheap things, here and there, and started to really enjoy putting on make-up and I am saving to buy a lot more!

      4. NAIL POLISH

Image from icynails.blogspot.com

I am, truly, a sucker for nail polish... I started taking care of my nails at the age of 13 and my nails were always painted and beautiful!

I always had really nice nails, hard and easy to grow, and I never had worries about them, it was simple as 1,2,3! Base coat, coloured nail polish and then top coat, and every week I limed them!

Nowadays I still do the same steps, and I only have my nails blank when I don't have time to paint them (and also because I'm very perfectionist on liming them so it takes ages!)

I absolutely love to paint my nails, it is like a relaxing zen moment and I like to do it while  catching up some episodes of my favourite shows!

yours, Joana

Favourite Cities

Oh hi darlings!

I love to travel and I visit new places...

I have been in some cities in Europe like London, Paris, Madrid, Rome... But Paris I don't really remember, and I absolutely loved London and I look forward to return. To the USA I have never been, but it is one of my things in my bucket list, and if possible, to live there!

Here are some places I would like to visit:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Oh hi darlings!

I watched this film the other day and really enjoyed it! It is an unusual film, very unique and beautiful. It is deep and really makes you think, and it also has lovely sentences that I'm going to quote below. For more information here is a link: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Image from "http://8tracks.com/dreawesome/the-perks-of-being-a-wallflower-soundtrack"

Some amazing quotes:

  

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

"We accept the love we think we deserve." 

"Wallflower. you see things you keep quiet about them and you understand."

"I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other." 

 "... and in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

yours, Joana

Oh hi!

Oh hi darlings!

Cheers to everyone who has the courage to chase their dreams, that is an admirable thing to do and it is not easy, i swear.

I was always very hesitant about creating a blog but, here I stand. Still not sure about what to write about but very eager to do so.

I do not know where this will lead me but I am certain that if I never try I will never find out!

So, changing subject, yesterday was V-day! Very important to some people, just another day for others... Well, I think that it is a normal day but I also believe that it is a day where you can show people that you care about them and that you remembered them on this day.  

Obviously you need to show love everyday towards the people you love, but sometimes we forget to do so and this day is an encouragement for caring and loving! 

Small gestures mean a lot, you don't need to give them a car or an expensive bracelet, a cupcake or a call is enough to show that you love them and that you care for them!

 

And this day is not only for girlfriends and boyfriends, but for every single person that you love and you take for granted in your life: mother, father, sister, grandmother, dog, neighbor, teacher, friend, colleague... They are important to you but they may not know that.

So give love, lots of kisses and lots of hugs!

 

I hope you had a nice Valentine's day with the ones you love and that you ate a lot of chocolate, because I LOVE chocolate (and I'm really craving for the one in the picture haha)

yours, Joana
