Byproducts of shopping

+ Eyeshadow by H&M: 'Gold Digger' and 'Glitter Green' (the glitter is unfortunately absent from the picture because my camera is very uncooperative.)

+ Accessories from H&M and Primark

+ Minty Fat Balm from Eyeko (amazing, as I'm finding everything from Eyeko to be. Reflects light with a wonderful subtle shimmer and smells deliciously minty.)

I wonder if those hair bows will look silly on my hair... I've already had to give up on my collection of headbands from the time when I still had my long locks. // Pergunto-me se aqueles laços irão ficar bem no meu cabelo. Afinal, já tive de desistir das 1001 'headbands' que andei a coleccionar nos tempos em que ainda tinha cabelos compridos.

Long weekend

My weekend was spent working. By Saturday my brain was fried, and I felt some distraction was in order. Went shopping at Primark and H&M, bought clothes, accessories and... eyeshadow! Of wonderful golden tones. I'm not sure this goes well with my skin, but I love glittery colours. Pictures to come later!

So, here's yesterday's outfit, where I'm wearing some of my recent purchases.

Passei o fim-de-semana a trabalhar. No Sábado o meu cérebro já estava bastante queimado, e percebi que precisava urgentemente de algum tipo de distracção. Passei pela Primark e H&M, onde comprei algumas peças de roupa, acessórios e... sombra para os olhos! De uns maravilhosos tons dourados. Não sei sequer se isto me fica bem, mas adoro cores brilhantes deste género. Esperem pelas fotos!

Aqui fica o outfit de ontem, onde estou já a usar algumas das recentes compras.

Trousers from Primark, shoes and jacket from H&M, blouse was bought second-hand on LJ. // Calças da Primark, sandálias e casaco da H&M, a blusa foi comprada em segunda-mão no LJ.

Casual

The sort-of-but-not-really rainy weather is back. I'm not very good at mid-season wear (since Spring and Autumn have become mere words rather than actual seasons) and today I just wanted to feel comfortable. Jeans + t-shirt seemed the obvious route.

O tempo chuvoso voltou. Não sou grande coisa a vestir-me de acordo com a celebrada meia-estação ("Primavera" e "Outono" vão-se tornando meras palavras, já que temos passado directamente do Verão para o Inverno, e vice-versa) e hoje apenas quis sentir-me confortável. A resposta óbvia? Jeans + t-shirt.

Slouchy cardigan from H&M


This cardigan is extremely hairy.


Elephant necklace from Blanco (ages ago)

Work week interlude

The recent cluster of bank holidays gave me the opportunity to indulge in guilt-free entertainment. Last week I downloaded and watched Tenshi no Koi, a japanese film that was both silly and sweet. It is relevant to this blog because the girls in it paraded some outfits I'd love to emulate. If only I had money and time to go shopping (I'm actually doing the latter next Friday, due to yet another cluster of bank holidays)...

A recente concentração de feriados e pontes deu-me a oportunidade de me entreter em algo que não o trabalho. Na semana passada fiz o download de Tenshi no Koi, um filme japonês contendo doses iguais de romance e lamechice. É relevante porque as protagonistas se passeavam com bem pensados conjuntos que eu adoraria recriar. Se ao menos tivesse dinheiro e tempo para ir às compras (o que talvez faça na próxima Sexta-feira, aproveitando a nova concentração de feriados)...
