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:
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
It is no secret I feel more in my element over spring/summer. Although I like the elegance the winter brings, nothing beats a happy, floaty summer outfit.
This post seems to be mostly about going out – there is just one work outfit included! I love dressing up, and always make an effort when going out!
Been feeling a bit blue lately, so that might explain the huge gap between outfit posts. Spring will certainly bring a hug wardrobe excitement and no doubt I will be photographing and posting more outfits! Cannot wait!

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!

Also featuring quite heavily are the H&M leather ankle boots – they are shiny, have a considerable heel thus making me feel a bit more dressed up and are comfortable enough to wear all day. And it was only £69.00!

Shoes. I just love them. Maybe love is not the right word. I am just obsessed with them. Maybe I should’ve been more clear – this little project is not about any old shoes. It is about heels – needle, chunky, comma, spiky, curvy, platform, wedges, block, straight. Heels are the actual object of my infatuation.
May be I am opening myself to being called a crazy shoe lady and I couldn’t care less – to quote Imelda Marcos, “they went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God, all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes”. So there you go.
First of all, I love the way they make me feel. Well, tall, to start with and those 5 foot almost nothing ladies will certainly understand. But they make me feel as if nothing is impossible – you know the “give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world” say? That is right. Nothing is scary in heels – ok, maybe a wet field, going down a mountain, but you know where I am going with this, right? They make me feel happy and more confident. And that’s just on the inside.
My legs look nicer, my posture looks better (ok, orthopedists out there, I know what you are thinking, and frankly, save it!).
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel ugly or insecure in flats. I fell comfortable, alright. In heels, I feel amazing. There is, for me, a weird satisfaction on wearing a fabulous pair of shoes. That’s the reason I decided to document my heels. Most of them, at least. Also, I love looking at them – they are beautiful.
And it gave me and excuse to finally count them. These 90 odd are part of more then 140 pairs of shoes which include flats and boots. Amongst this selection, there are many special ones, like my first pair of Louboutins. Some carry numerous memories. Others, sentimental value; they are more than 12 years old and although I don’t wear them anymore, they are a part of me that came over from Brazil to the UK, and like me, they survived. A few tell tales of boys, usually followed by tales of a heartbreak. It is also a little reminder of pain that we all carry in our live (honestly, there are pairs I only wore once as they butchered my feet!)
Yet, they all tell tales of my life and the person I am – I feel this mosaic is a little patch from a huge patchwork quilt that is me.
So Many Lovely Things
