Dove is saying something I notice a lot – I am usually one of the few women strolling in the streets abusing (yes, abusing) colour. Little do we know that wearing colours like red, hot pink or purple can boost our confidence a bit (mine, certainly!).

My earliest beauty memories

dani dutra - somanylovelythingsOne of these days I was talking to people how I became so obsessed with makeup, style and shoes so I started thinking and went back to my childhood, when I used to smash my aunt’s Ciane’s eyeshadow palettes (sorry auntie) and smear my aunt’s Tiana’s lipsticks on my face, while they weren’t around.

The technique was the same: wait until they were distracted chatting with family or going over their daily and go over their dressing tables and pounce, in the dark, getting hold of anything I could, quickly.

What I’ve been wearing – 27/04/2014

It’s been a while. Obviously,  I haven’t been walking around naked; a mix of lack of time to photograph, uninspiring cold days where I couldn’t be bothered and that emotional problem solving kinda got in the way.

My wardrobe is starting to get packed with some lovely spring goods, but so far the legs haven’t seen the daylight in London. Hurry, while I still have a tan!

Outfit #1

Fluffy black crop top from New Look, checked/floral knee length skirt from a swap party, black court shoes from Christian Louboutin, necklace from New Look, bracelets from Primark, rings from Forever 21, Topshop and Accessorize.

My first outfit post of 2014! Whoooa!

Of course, there are some that were actually worn in 2013 (don’t tell anyone!). It is that time of the year where I start to lean towards colour. I know we are not even halfway through winter and this year has been quite mild. But it id depressing nevertheless and I am spending my days dreaming of bright yellows and a plethora of shades of pink… Come on spring, hurry up!
