Packing for a city break

Packing for a city break

Following on from my post on how to plan a city break, I thought it would be fun to share what my process is when packing for such a trip. Depois do meu post sobre como planear um city break, pensei que fosse giro partilhar o meu processo de fazer a mala para uma dessas viagens. #1 When & How long for? // Quando e por quanto tempo? The first, and very obvious point is to start by thinking about what season it is when you’re planning your trip, and how many days you will be going for. I like…

My Capsule Wardrobe Experiment

My Capsule Wardrobe Experiment

I’d been hearing about Capsule wardrobes for years, but never really felt comfortable enough with myself or what I considered my personal style to try them. Until now. Influenced by The Anna Edit, Anuschka Rees’ book ‘The Curated Closet’ and the ‘Minimalism’ documentary I recently saw on Netflix, I decided to downsize my wardrobe. Há anos que ouvia falar na ideia de um guarda-roupa cápsula, mas nunca me tinha sentido confortável o suficiente comigo mesma, ou com o que considerava o meu estilo pessoal, para experimentar fazê-lo. Até agora. Influenciada pela Anna do The Anna Edit, pelo livro ‘The Curated…

Stan Smith Peacock Edition

Stan Smith Peacock Edition

For over a year now, but especially since I went to NYC in March last year, I have been obsessed with my Stan Smith Ortholite Pink trainers. They’re so comfortable that I spent a day walking 30k in New York and didn’t even feel it.  Há já mais de um ano, mas especialmente desde que fui a Nova Iorque em Março do ano passado, tenho andado doida com os meus ténis Stan Smith Ortholite cor-de-rosa. São tão confortáveis que andei quase 30km num dia em Nova Iorque sem sentir nada. I also love searching Pinterest for outfit inspiration wearing Stans…

My mini mini Mansur Gavriel

My mini mini Mansur Gavriel

I’ve been a huge handbag lover for years now – and a bit of a hoarder of them until I decided to sell most of them online recently. Há anos que sou uma grande fã de malas – e quase coleccionadora delas até recentemente ter decidido vender a maior parte das que tinha online. Some of the handbags that had been catching my eye for some time were the Mansur Gavriel bucket bags – those ones that became overnight cult items and were sold out all the time, everywhere. Algumas das malas que me chamavam a atenção há alguns tempos…
