Apology letter

At last I am writing to you again, something which I have been delaying for far too long.

As some of my followers have probably noticed, it has been a long time since I last published anything here at the blog. I decided to take a break from blogging.

My first and most important reason for this was that I needed some time to put life back into perspective: since coming to London weeks have been passing by at such a fast pace that I had not yet taken the time to think about what I want to do next, or what have I been missing out on since moving here. Some serious thinking was/ is in order. So much has changed, yet I was trying hard not to be affected by the change and remain the same.
By now I have realized that in order to remain true to myself I don't need to remain the same, in fact, I need to welcome change and be affected by it to continue a balanced life.

The second reason is that for a while now the blog was not heading the direction I wanted it to. I created this blog as a space for me to share my life through pictures and words, and for someone like me that means sharing experiences as much as inspirations, and expressing myself not only through clothes but also through the people and things that surround me. In short, I had envisioned it as more of a window into my lifestyle and less as an outfits blog.
That said, or written, I have dwelt with the question of whether or not to start a new blog, and ended up deciding not to: after all, all the blog needs is a change, just like me! 

I haven't decided to come back to the blog just yet. I know I will, just don't know when... maybe in a week, maybe in a month. Someday. 

Until then, I hope all of you stick around to welcome change when it comes =)

Here comes the sun!

Today was a sunny (yet windy) day! And that definitely made me think a lot about spring and new clothes
So I decided to create a new board on Pinterest with inspiration for this Spring! You can find it here =) Hope you find some inspiring clothes and images in there, let me know what images are your favourites!

I also have some news to share with you from MsDressy! They have just released some new dresses (take a look at the prom dresses!) and they are all available in the colours of the moment! Honestly, the dresses are all dream like and I almost wish I had prom still to come!
The cherry on top of the cake? If you like them on Facebook you get a 10$ coupon and all shipping is free right now!!!  ;)

Neutrals

I wear neutral colours a lot, not only because I like them but because I think they are so elegant too. From all neutrals, my favorite is beige or champagne: I like the shades that you get in different fabrics and I like the way it looks on me.
Lately, I have been all over this skirt, combining it with whatever tops I find in the same shades and using accessories to bring some contrast into my look (on this day it was the navy heels and bag).

I actually believe that there is one neutral colour that suits each one of us the best: a friend of mine who has blue eyes says that cool greys are her neutrals, because they bring out her eyes and make her pale skin look more rosy, while warm greys make her look even paler.

Do you have a favourite neutral color? (I mean, besides from black...)

Why is it you favourite? 



PS: I usually take photos outdoors where the natural light is good, unfortunately it was too rainy for that on this day, so sorry for the poor light

Oh weather, won't you please get better?

I took these photos shortly after returning to Portugal. The weather wasn't particularly good, it was very windy (therefore my hair, all over the place) but the temperature was nice enough to wear short sleeves. I was actually a bit unsure about publishing these, but since then it has been raining almost everyday and I've been wearing whatever winter clothes I can find at home =S
Hopefully the weather will get better from now on!
