Summer inspiration

Some of the things I love the most about Summer, are the bright colors that come along with it...

Greek Garden

Trying out my new Greek dress from Oasap, which you can find Here.

I wish you all a blissfull weekend, I've started mine in an enchanted garden. 

       

Be bold with colours and prints!

This spring/summer season will see the rise of two interestingly contrasting trends – floaty dresses with bold prints and colour, along with Kate Middleton-inspired elegant and structured pieces.
The ladylike ‘Kate Middleton look’ is rapidly becoming a high street favourite, and it seems that we’d all like to capture a bit of her regal style – which is characterised by strong tailoring, neat lines and bold colour blocking.

A good way of kicking off your new, elegant wardrobe is with Berkertex’s Shift Dress and Jacket ensemble. The three-quarter length jacket sleeves and concealed button fastenings add a modern touch to this traditional style. 
If you’d like something a bit more sparkly, then try the black satin BowPencil Dress with front pleat detail and diamante beaded bow. To finish the look, match your outfit with Berkertex’s Collarless Fitted Boucle Jacket.
If structured and formally elegant is not quite your style, then you’ll be pleased to learn that free-flowing maxi-dresses are also due to be a big fixture on the high street this summer. No longer a fashion item reserved for the beach, the full length maxi-dress with lots of print and colour is the new way to work evening wear. For a touch of ‘all-over’ femininity, consider the Floral Print Occasion Maxi Dress and pair it up with an elegant beige clutch and matching peep-toe shoes for a fresh, spring glow.
It’s easy to achieve a more striking, but still elegant, look by opting for a deeper colour palette. Perfect for evening, the Berkertex AnimalEmbellished Maxi Dress has a flattering neckline, delicate gathered detail across the bust and straps and even has a bit of ‘bling’ around the waist to accentuate your curves. Eva Longoria wears the maxi dress look well, and proves that they aren’t just for taller ladies. 

The Berkertex clothing range  has something to suit every occasion – dinners, work or even a royal visit! Whether you prefer long and flowing frocks, or structured and business-like ensembles, this season is the time for you and your dress to really impress.

 These few days away from city noise and stressful routines were long expected and finally came.

We're just 30 minutes drive away, but it feels like a entirely different world...

Oui Monsieur

Les langues n'ont d'élégance qu'autant qu'il y en a dans l'esprit de ceux qui les parlent.

(Languages have only as much elegance as there is in the minds of those who speak them.)

Osso Vaidoso

Descobri estes génios musicais num passeio aos jardins de Serralves, as lindíssimas letras da autoria da Regina Guimarães cativaram-me instantaneamente, e desde então fazem parte da minha playlist diária.

Há vozes portuguesas de um encanto incontornável e talento desigual que são ainda conhecidas por tão poucos. 

É este o meu contributo à boa música Portuguesa, a partilha do que me alegra com aqueles de quem mais gosto, vocês!

Não é bom ouvir a verdade e a irreverência cantadas?

_______________________

I discovered this incredible band in a visit to the Serralve's gardens, the beautiful lyrics from Regina Guimarães immediately caught my attention, and since then have been part of my daily playlist.

There are so many Portuguese voices of undeniable charm and talent, yet known by so few. Well, this is my contribution to the Portuguese music, sharing what brightens me with the ones i love the most, you!

Isn't it good to hear truth and irreverence sang?

Take a Bow

I just can't get enough of these tiny bows coupled with the peplum effect. 

I'm bowing to Jason Wu for creating this beautiful combo that in my opinion,  instantly adds delicacy and femininity to a silhouette. Don't you agree?
