Outfits | "The single most powerful thing I can be is to be myself"

In a era were individuality is sometimes sacrificed for the sakes of fitting the norm,

it's difficult to fit in when you're different.

I've felt it in my skin ever since I was a kid.

I seldom find myself loving who I was but, at the same time, when things got rough, 

crying and wishing I could be just like everyone else.

In time, I realize I was okay.

Everyone is okay.

We all struggle sometimes, in our uniqueness, 

but what matters the most is that, at the end of the day, we continue our way.

To all the people out there, dare to be yourself!

Don't tame your being to other people expectations!

If you wanna dance in the rain, damn, dance your heart away!

If you wanna be the one telling all those weird jokes nobody gets, help yourself!

You only got one life, BE YOU while you're in it!

Outfits | With passion, hard work and a good night's sleep, anyone can conquer the world!

​

Last week really took a toll on me...

I spent most hours of it either sleeping or wishing to be in bed!

My energy was drained, and I felt the need to reset and recharge my batteries!

How did I do that? By taking some time to myself!

I indulged in a nice bath 

and then took my sweet time trying on clothes, old and new, creating outfits for days to come,

feeling all powerful and sassy! 

I had almost forgot how much I love this kind of play! 

For dinner, I enjoyed a comforting chicken curry and, afterwards, 

it was time to grab a book from The Preternaturals series by Ruth Miranda, 

so I could submerge in a world of fantasy before going to sleep. 

The cherry on top of the cake were the revigorating 12 hours of sleep I had! 

I woke up feeling like myself again, energized and ready to conquer the world! 

In my case, ready to put on my best business attire (but with a twist!) and get things done!

What is your strategy when you're feeling down?

Hope you enjoy seeing my new photographs!

O conjunto de hoje é uma ode ao poder que cada um de nós tem dentro de si,

Mudei a forma de apresentação das fotos, digam se gostam, ou se preferiam quando eram todas horizontais, sim?

Outfits | You can do everything you set your mind into...those little voices in your head are lying!

Self-doubt is like a cancer of nowadays society!

This disease sticks its clingy claws in the souls of many of us,

making us forget of how much we are capable of, how awesome we can be...

I too suffer from this, every now and then, but I try not to let these feelings linger for too long!

What about you?

Do you doubt yourself sometimes as well?

Reflections aside, I felt super cool in this pink and white outfit, the pieces are sooo cool!

Hope you enjoy all the photos!

Outfits | Tropical vibes...in October!

​

Since the weather here in the last couple of weeks has been on the tropical side,

it felt only appropriate that I got to wear this gorgeous and summery ZARA blouse!

It's puffy dramatic sleeves really rock, and I think they made this simple outfit pop!

I felt super cool in this!

Clothes aside, 

it's very concerning how the weather has been dramatically changing!

I can't help but wonder how much the human hand has been responsible for this,

and how each one of us has a role on the prevention of further earth damage!
It's true fashion is not always the most eco-friendly business (quite the opposite sadly),
but I believe we can try to be more responsible while shopping,
recycle older clothes doing some DIYs arrangements, donating them, and resist to binge buys!
My Capsule Wardrobe challenge really made me rethink my entire relationship with fashion!
If you haven't try something like this, I highly recommend you do!
It really puts things into perspective!

Have a lovely day and enjoy my photographs in the rest of the post!

quando usar esta  blusa de mangas majestosas e inspiração tropical fazia todo o sentido!

Espero que gostem de ver todas as fotos do conjunto:

Outfits | Can you imagine a world without flowers or leaves? I certainly can't!

Yes, I too surrendered to the coolest hat of the season!

I wasn't planning too, but I was infected with all the pictures I kept seeing on Instagram...

and figured "why not?".

Truth be told, this baby boy upgrades any outfit, making it immediately edgier!

I loved how relaxed, yet cool, this combination turned out!

Hope you enjoy the rest of the photographs!

Outfits | Fall's betrayal!

​

I know fall has arrived - at least the calendar says so - so pardon me the summer inspired outfit!

It's just that the weather has been so crazy hot lately, that one seems to forget which season it is...

and I haven't had the chance to show my gorgeous yet simple top from Bershka,

which I got on summer sales!

Hope you enjoy my photographs!

e a escolha de roupa recaiu sobre peças que gritam Verão!

Outfits | I'll make my own path

If I told you I can't recall felling this powerful and elegant in an outfit would you believe me?

Would you believe a simple black and white outfit could have that power?

Well, you'll have to take my word for it!

This simple yet sophisticated combination, featuring my new pointy shoes from Stradivarius,

a delicate embroidered blouse and this gorgeous floral hair bow,

made me walk my workplace with such confidence, like I could conquer the world!

That's the power of your personal style, if you ask me! Don't you agree?

Hope you enjoy the rest of the pictures!

Have a lovely week!
