I am particularly happy with my clothes today, because I bought this skirt in december, and had not managed to wear it yet. It just doesn’t fit very well with the rest of my wardrobe. But, if there’s something I hate, it’s buying stuff and not using it, so yesterday I decided I was gonna pair this skirt with SOMETHING. And as I looked through my closet, I had a bright idea! Why not that beach covering (I don’t know the english word for that, here we call it “canga”) that I’ve been meaning to use a dress for ages. But instead, use it as a shirt!

And even though it didn’t work a 100%, it was still so much better than all of the alternatives, so I went with it. So, today I was wearing:

Marisa skirt
Renner “canga”
Hong Kong thights bought on ebay
Soulier flats

And, the face had:

Episol Color’s Tinted sunscreen in Pele Morena
Meow Cosmetics’s powder foundation in Slinky Manx
Meow Cosmetics’s  blush in Iluminase 
Fyrinnae’s highlighter in In The Spotlight
Nivea Sol’s lip balm
Lip Vitamins gloss in brown

And the eyes:

Aromaleigh’s Primer 
Meow Cosmetics’s deity glow in the inner corner
Unknown Meow Cosmetics shadow on the lid (the label came off, it might even be a blush) 
Aromaleigh’s brazen and bitter on the crease
Meow Cosmetics’s sand dunes as highlight
Naturas’s brown pencil
Hema’s mascara


It was good to be young

Since I’m not doing anything with my tumblr, and I think personal style is too much of a niche subject for my blog, I decided to use my tumblr to write a bit about clothes, make-up, and all these things that make a lot of women go nuts.

Even though I was never a “barbie” as child (my sister fulfilled that role with pride), even though it took some time for me to start caring about what clothes did I wear, and even though I’m the lasiest person on earth, ever since I’m a teenager, I have been trying to develop a peronal style.

My attempts at “style” during my teenage years were mostly horrific. I had no idea waht looked good on my body, avoided dresses like the plague, and was going more for shock value than aesthetics.

But I do consider that period essencial in making my style what it is today, after all I was able to exorcize my uttermost kitsch tendencies in my teenage years, which is exactly where they belong. Of course some people may still think I’m still “too much”, but all I can say is that they probably did not know me when I was 15.

But enough talking for today, let’s talk clothes instead:

C&A dress
25 de março belt
C&A Shorts (you can’t see them, but they are there)

Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the lovely ballet falts my mom bought in London. But imagine suede flats in almost the same colour as the belt.

And now, the face. Definetely not all that photogenic, but what can you do? (Photoshop, that’s what you can do. My fingers were itching but I resisted)
