Lucky me in New York (I)

I rather travel by pictures than by words. However, New York deserves them!

When I arrived to New York it was like I have entered in a Hollywood film. New Yorkers deal with day to day with ease, making jokes all the time and praising everything they adored in you. In just 10 days, I was praised for my coat, for my hat, for my nails and my ring. And no, it was not from traders wanting to sell. It was from people crossing those crowded walkways and still had time to notice who came from the other side. It’s not absurd that in movies people fall in love at the door of Starbucks. Now, makes sense!!

I was a lucky one; I caught myself in New York City at the crossroads of two seasons. Fall & Christmas. Can you image a better match?? 

As can be read on the Central Park poster – “That moment when you escape from NY, without escaping from NY”. Central park in Fall is the paradise. Paradise for squirrels, paradise for photographers, for writers, it seemed the paradise even for the homeless. This paradise took nine beautiful hours of my day!

Chilly days were warmed not only by lots of cappuccinos but also by fall colors in Central Park. Were warmed by the friendliness of the people. Were warmed by Christmas songs in Rockefeller Center. Were warmed by Christmas lights on 5^th Avenue. Were warmed by the lights in Times Square. Were warmed thanks to several hours spent in makeup stores. Were warmed by the views from the Top of the Rock 67^th floor. 

Warm up with me in the next post.

Baby Pink

Nunca uma cor teve tantos altos e baixos. O baby pink atingiu o seu primeiro pico no gráfico da popularidade no século XVIII quando os tons pastel eram símbolo de sensualidade mas sensibilidade, de sedução mas delicadeza. Já dois séculos mais tarde, e sob o comando de Hitler, judeus homossexuais eram obrigados a expor a sua sexualidade com trajes baby pink. Aliás, apenas há uma década atrás usar baby pink conferia à mulher moderna uma imagem de insegurança, fraqueza e languidez. Hoje, FW14, o baby pink regressou à ribalta, recuperando a sua antiga reputação. 

Não há dúvida que nesta estação confiança e baby pink vão andam de mãos dadas!!

A color never had so many ups and downs. The baby pink reached its first peak in the popularity chart in the XVIII century when pastels become a symbol of sensuality but sensibility, seduction but delicacy. Two centuries later, under Hitler’s command, homosexuals Jews were forced to expose their sexuality with baby pink costumes. Likewise, just a decade ago women wearing baby pink conveyed an image of insecurity, weakness and languor. Today, FW14, the baby pink returned to the limelight, reclaiming his old reputation.

There is no doubt that baby pink and confidence will go hand in hand this winter!!

 

Get Furry:

Casacos peludos prometem subir a temperatura deste Inverno!

Acho que finalmente estou autorizada a falar de pêlo :) Chegou o frio (não vamos falar da chuva sim?! - é deprimente)! Chegou o frio e com ele a minha peça favorita - supercasacos! Se tiverem pêlo, melhor, mais gosto ♡ ♡

E este ano eles estão tão peludos que parece que desfilam sozinhos.

Olhem-me só estes exemplares - É só um pouquinho do que se pode encontrar por aí. 

Estou apaixonada! ❁ ❀ ❁

Furry coats will raise the temperature of this winter! 

I'm finally allowed to talk about fur :) Cold days finally arrived and brought me my favorite garment - overcoats!

If they are furry, better, I still like more ♡ ♡ 

And this year they are so furry that seems like they are walking alone.

Look at these models - This is just a little bit of what you can find around. 

I'm in love!

take a Walk with Neon Boots!!

Chegou Novembro, e aparentemente o frio está para chegar também! ☃ ♡ ☃

Há algum tempo que ando de olho numas botas tipo Chelsea, para estes meses que não são nem demasiado frios nem demasiado chuvosos!! - Para quem não sabe, as botas Chelsea foram criadas pelo sapateiro da Rainha Vitória de Inglaterra em 1837 e destacam-se por terem aqueles reforços elásticos laterais.

Mas até agora só tinha encontrado botas castanhas e pretas - aqueles tons que toda a gente usa, que toda a gente tem!! Boring (não desfazendo o preto, claro)! ATÉ HOJE! Porque hoje, descobri as Neon Boots!! As chelsea viajaram dois séculos e renasceram em Madrid, fabulosas, ricas em padrões, texturas e cores! 

Take a look and fall in love!! ♡ ♡ 

November has arrived and, apparently, cold days are coming too! ☃ ♡ ☃ 

I've been looking for Chelsea boots for a wile, for those months that are neither too cold nor too rainy!! - For those who have never heard, Chelsea boots were created by Queen Victoria's shoemaker in 1837 and they are known by their elastic side ribs. 

But until now I only had found brown and black boots - those tones that everyone uses, everyone has!! Boring (black apart, of course)! UNTIL TODAY! Because today I discovered the Neon Boots!! Chelsea boots traveled two centuries and reappeared in Madrid, fabulous, rich in patterns, textures and colors! 

Take a look and fall in love !! ♡ ♡
