ModaLisboa 34' Check Point - 13th

Last thursday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, I got a call from ModaLisboa saying that me and my group of Audiovisual Communication Techniques couldn't tape the event and we could only be there one day. All of us got really pissed off and sad because we all were really excited about it. We all thought it was a big lack of professionalism because, when they called, the beginning of the event was only two hours away and had everything planned in advanced, we did research and a written work to show our teacher. So that's why I haven't been posting lately any pictures or comments on the event. But at least, we chose one day to attend the event and we chose yesterday, the 13th.





The sun was shinning in Lisbon and me, Joana, Inês and Zé (that you might also know from his amazing blog 2x Nº1), headed up downtown for what should be an amazing, glamorous and stylish afternoon. And it was beyond that. When we got there, we had to get our Guest Passports and, after that, we entered a big room where there were stands from many sponsors of the event. Besides watching the shows, we spent the afternoon drinking Martini's, getting our hair and make-up done, talking to really nice people, drinking Vitamin Water (which I personally hate, it tates like sweet medicine), taking pictures, trying to spot famous people and having a lot of fun.







And, off course, I had to take pictures of famous people that were there. But we knew who the real famous people were: us =)









Now talking fashion, during the afternoon I saw four shows (I didn't see Salsa because I was having my make-up done LOL) : Aleksandar Protic (which was mainly a black and gold collection with weird shapes which I didn't like), Miguel Vieira (a black blue and white collection, with lots of hats, gloves, sunglasses and bags, that I loved, specially men clothes that were really classy), Pedro Pedro (really natural colors, light brown, maron,wool, fur, plastic garmets) and really famous Nuno Baltazar (a collection called "Paris | Deco | New York", a urban classy look, but from whom I was expecting a lot more). I'll leave here some pictures for you to see:

I hope next year I can attend the event again. I had a lot of fun and took 512 pictures with my father's amazing camera. I hope everything is ok with you and that you0re enjoying the sun wherever you are. Spring is almost here!
so much love <3

I have been k-kinda busy lately. So many classes and so much stuff to learn and memorize! My weekend was nothing special, I studied but I still had the chance to eat pizza with my friends and watch “The House Bunny”. I love that movie, I think Anna Farris is sooo funny. Latelly I have been home with my friends on Saturday nights and I’ve been loving it. It’s so relaxing and we can all have a good laugh together. I’m really blessed with the friends I have, we always have a fun time. Another thing I love to do is to cook, so I’m thinking about adding some food post on this blog aswell. Some advices on restaurants and pictures about the things I do myself. My friends always like what I cook so I guess I’m not bad cooker =)

Another thing that has been keeping my mind busy is my Audiovisual Communication Techniques project. Yes, Lisbon Fashion Week starts tomorrow and me and my group mates have been working on the project really hard. We are going to cover all the event, take amazing pictures, talk to famous people and watch all the shows (front row, we hope). These are the looks and the clothes I chose to wear:

- H&M shorts
- H&M top
- Mango bag
- Miss Sixty watch

- H&M jacket
- Mango dress
- Zara clutch
- Dolce&Gabbana watch
- Accessorize necklace

- H&M dress
- Zara skirt
- Mango bag
- Miss Sixty watch

- Mango t-shirt
- Mango skirt
- Mango bag
- H&M tights
- Miss Sixty watch
- Ray-Ban sunglasses

Do you like the outfits? What would you change? Everyday I’ll post here the pictures I take there so don’t hesitate on becoming a FOLLOWER of this blog!!! I’m really looking forward to see most of the shows and to see what we are going to wear next Winter. But I can’t wait for Summer to arrive. Today the weather was amazing though it was cold (you can’t imagine how cold it is outside when I go to the gym at 7 a.m. and, yes, I’m crazy enough to do that).

Lately my two favourite blogs have been SUGARLAWS and CUPCAKES AND CASHMERE. Both are a big mash-up of fashion, food and lifestyle. If I were you I would totally follow them!

I leave you with two songs I’ve been totally addicted to lately!
So much love <3
