Layers of Neutrals

Photography by Rui Ferreira

Hello, dears!
The weather is turning grey and windy like it was a couple of weeks ago - which caused damages all over the country - and with this being a critical week, in academical terms ( I delivering my thesis!!), I really needed good weather and warm sun for the amount of bureaucracies and errands I will be doing. Not fast winds, grey sky and probably rain. It just makes me moody... 
Still enjoying the last bits of this sunny Sunday - already cold and windy - we decided to take some quick photos of today's look. And may I add that I love the leather jacket + oversized coat combination! So cool and super warm - and a super way to wear your coat open and still be warm. I will be doing this more often. I cut my jeans at my ankles size - they were too big - so that I could were them without having to roll up the bottom. And that turtleneck was a purchase from Zara's sales and one the best - and I'm wearing it for the first time since I bought it like a month ago (shame on me!). It's very soft, square shaped and the color is gorgeous! 
Now, I'm cuddling in bed (already in bed, yes. And it's only 7pm... I don't care) with my cat, enjoying some music and relaxing.

Have a warm Sunday and see you tomorrow!

Love,
Maria

Chic Leather & Leopard

Good night, dears!
The sun is back and I couldn't be more happy! Sunny days are the best - and it feels like Spring is just around the corner though it's windy. I'm going for more light clothes - a shirt or a soft sweater - and only my black coat (that I use a LOT!). 
Today's outfit is a whole Pull&Bear look. It's one of my favorite store 'cause it has awesome pieces and very affordable. And I just hate my hair right now... this thing of letting grown is killing my patience as fast as light speed! Oh man... This was one of those days that I just wanted to go straight to the hair-saloon and shave it off! Let's see for how long I can hold on...

Have a warm night

Love,
Maria

NYC Sweater & Black

Photography by Rui Ferreira

Happy Sunday, guys!
I've received some good news Friday: I'm due to deliver my thesis this week! Finally, after waiting six months. Now I can see things moving foward, but I'm so nervous... My future life depends on this so it has to be almost perfect (I won't say perfect because I'm a perfectionist and most things for me aren't always perfect has I wanted to). 

My new sweater looks super trashy today. I don't know what happened (maybe it was from sitting in the car with my bag and coat on my lap... buh!) but still I decided to take photos. Simple outfit for a sunny Sunday afternoon. What's your mind on this look? 

Now, back to my thesis! It's going to be a hell of a week!

Love,
Maria

NYC Sweater from MANGO

Hello, sweeties!
So, as it wasn't bad enough for the bad weather (rain and wind, wind and rain... ), I'm getting sick and my voice sounds kinda funny (which isn't funny at all!). I'm gonna spent Valentine's Day sick... it's just wrong!

Anyway, I want to show a must-have from Mango's new collection - NYC sweater! I bought a size S because the sweater has that baggy effect. 
And Daria looks amazing in the sweater. Just go take a look at Mango's S/S 14 Lookbook!

Love,
Maria

Happy Monday, guys! 
The sun is shinning but it's still super windy. Luckily we'll be able to take some outfit photos. 
Going through the last things on sales I found these gorgeous jackets with fur inside. So cool! How come I didn't see them? Anyway, these tree caught my eye and I love the last one. It has that rocker look and a little oversized size. 
Which one the do you prefer? (:

Love,

Gold Detail

Good evening, dears! 
Today was a stressful day and it is so cold, windy and rainy here that the only place you feel good is at home. 
Good fact - I started my workout today. gotta get back my six pack!

Talking about this photos, a gold small necklace is a perfect detail for a minimal style. And found this two perfect inspirational photos on Tumblr. Such a great away to wear a simple necklace, it makes all the difference. and I found a beautiful one on H&M stores (click on the link bellow the photos).

Have a warm night,

Love,
Maria

Midi Skirt & Air Force 1

Photography by Rui Ferreira

Happy Monday, dears! 
Tough the sun is shinning, the sky has some pretty dark grey clouds (and right now is raining) and it's very windy. But it isn't that cold... Just another good reason for the to wear bare legs. This skirt is one of my favorite pieces this season, I cannot get enough of it. And I'm trying all kinds of combinations with it. Same is happening with those gorgeous sneakers.
And today's result was a kind of feminine sportive look with a leather jacket and a grey bennie. First time wearing a bennie! (shame on me!) It is a super way to get my wild growing hair out of my sight for a moment. Love it! I may try to find one in black.
What do you think of this look?

Love, 
Maria
