Boy, do I love the smell of leather… nothing quite like a brand new handbag, made with lovely soft leather! No wonder I was ecstatic to receive the Jocasi London’s Kepis bag in black leather.

What I’ve been wearing – 15/06/14
The settling of the new season brings about so much inspiration! All the bits I have been buying for months and have been unable to wear are finally starting to creep out of my closet and make it to the streets – and the blog!
Here are the latest outfits:
Outfit #1
Flowery crop top from H&M, black court shoes from Christian Louboutin, eye clutch from Lulu Guinness, belt from Primark, bracelets from New Look, rings from Sobral, H&M and Primark.
Dove Invisible Dry invites us to be colour confident
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!).
Mad Hatter Tea at the Sanderson
Finally, after much talk, I made it to the Sanderson’s Mad Hatter Tea. I had wanted to go for a long time – no secret I am a huge fan of the hotel, the long bar, the lips sofa (really, just the lips sofa, I freaking love it), but I wanted to have this much appealing themed afternoon tea.
What I’ve been wearing – 03/06/14
I’ve been trying so hard to be summery and wearing floaty skirts whenever I can. The weather has been mild, but not glorious enough to go all out…
Keep hoping! This outfit selection contains a mix of “I wish I could wear this without tights” and “I am preparing myself for summer” outfits.
Outfit #1
Black and white, frilly off-the-shoulder jumpsuit from Rare London, black court shoes from Christian Louboutin, belt from Primark, necklace from New Look, rings from Forever 21, H&M, Sobral and Primark.
Maleficent everything: Jewellery

Ooooh, the film is not even out but Maleficent is the gift that keeps on giving (especially for me, I’ve been a fan since she scared the pants out of me in the 80’s Sleeping Beauty VHS, yep, I’m that old) and producing the most amazing stuff for us to see, use or simply lust after.
The Disney collaborations seem never-ending and the latest for this movie is jewellery: dark, gorgeous and wearable by Crow’s Nest Jewels, the same folks responsible for a Sleeping Beauty collection.
My earliest beauty memories
One 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.
Costume making in stars and stripes
Those who know me can confirm I am not one to pass the opportunity to dress up. I LOVE dressing up. When I do it, I go all out; no point in being half-hearted, right?
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.
Brazilian beauty brand O Boticário gears up for World Cup
All eyes on Brazil – I noticed many beauty brands have launched lines inspired by Brazil in preparation for the World Cup. Under the tagline “Ours are the most beautiful supporters in the world” Brazilian Beauty and skincare giant O Boticário has taken it a step further, launching a whole line of products to be used not only to mark the event but also when cheering for Brazil during the World Cup.
