Oxblood velvet skirt

I got this beauty today from the very popular online store ROMWE. It was my first purchase there and everything went great. It took less then 2 weeks and it was well packaged in a zipped plastic bag.
I can already tell it's going to be a winter stable. The quality is much better than i hoped for. In the site the skirt is described as "crimson metallic skirt" but it's definitely a velvet blend material. The elasticated waist is very thick and tight so i don't think it's going to get loose anytime soon! I got it in a small size and i'd say it's pretty true to size.
It cost me around 20€ (with a coupon) which is much cheaper then the alternatives i was considering.

Eu recebi esta beleza hoje, vinda do popular site de roupa online ROMWE. Foi a minha primeira compra de lá e correu tudo bem. Demorou menos de duas semanas a chegar, vinha bastante bem embrulhada num pacote de plástico zipado. Já consigo perceber que vai ser um básico de outono. A qualidade é muito melhor do que etsava à espera. No site descrevem a saia como "saia metálica vermelhão" mas é definitivamente um tecido tipo veludo. O elástico na cintura é grosso e apertado por isso acho que não vai alargar nos próximos tempos!  Eu comprei um tamanho small e diria que os tamanhos são bastante correctos. Custou-me cerca de 20€ (com um cupão) o que é bastante mais barato que as alternativas que estava a considerar.

OOTD (it's getting really hard to find nice light to take pictures around my house, bear with me!)
So i think this skirt can pretty much go with anything. I paired it with my favorite combo so far this fall. A vintage white woolen sweather (from my mom) and my old H&M leather cropped jacket.  I'm wearling basic black tights and black canvas shoes. My only piece of jewlery is this awesome spiked (the spikes remind me of fossilized teeth) bracelet from claire's.

OOTD (está a ficar difícil encontrar boa luz para tirar fotos pela minha casa, perdoem-me!)
Eu acho que esta saia basicamente vai bem com tudo. Eu combinei-a com uma camisola branca de lã vintage (da minha mãe) e o meu velho casaco de cabedal da H&M. Estou a usar collants pretas básicas e sapatos tipo vans pretos. A minha única peça de joalharia é esta pulseira de picos (que me lembram dentes fossilizados) da claire's.

Season of the Witch

I'm so much in love with the new Topshop collection Witching Hour
The nu-witch look isn't exactly new on the fashion scene but i think they managed to put together some great pieces (not over studded or spiked) with great colors and textures.

Estou tão apaixonada pela nova collecção da Topshop Witching Hour
O look nu-wicth não é exactamente uma novidade mas acho que conseguiram um conjunto de peças muito interessantes (não com demasiadas tachas) com cores e texturas lindas.

Here are my favorites
Aqui estão as minhas favoritas

I gotta say my favorite one is probably the skeleton dress. I love the sheer skirt and the sort of baroque embroidery (also that flapper cut). It's by Tee and Cake which had a very famous skeleton bodycon dress already but i feel like this one is the "grown up" version. Also those brocade tights would look so badass with any outfit (I would pair them with the skirt and shirt next to them). I also think that the fact that topshop included some fun halloweenish acessories like the devil head band is super adorable and gives the collection an extra coolness.

Tenho a dizer que a minha peça favorita é provavelmente o vestido esqueleto. Adoro a saia transparente e o bordado estilo barroco (e também o corte à flapper). É da marca Tee and Cake que já tinha um vestido esqueleto estilo bodycon muito famoso mas eu sinto que este é a versão "adulta". As collants com bordado também são um favorito, quão incrível iam ficar com qualquer oufit? (eu usava-as com a camisa e a saia ao lado delas no set) Também acho que o facto da Topshop ter incluído acessórios divertidos com uma vibe halloweenesca, como a bandolete com cornos, é super adorável e dá uma extra coolness à colecção.

Flatforms: best of both worlds.

 

Flaforms are definitely a love/hate type of shoe. I just read somewhere that the only good thing about them is that they don't hurt you like heels when you take them for a night out. Even though that is true because they are mighty confortable i have to disagree because i just love them. Ever since the Prada Platform brogues i've been wanting a pair. I just can't decide what kind of flatform i want. Of course the classic black shoe would be a great staple but i've recently been loving flatform sandals (might be the summer getting close) and the flatform sneaker!

Flatforms são definitivamente um tipo de sapato que se ama ou odeia. Eu li algures que a única coisa boa nelas é que não magoam os pés como saltos altos quando os levam para sair à noite. Apesar disso ser verdade porque elas são incrivelmente confortáveis eu tenho de discordar porque eu simplesmente adoro-as. Desde que a Prada lançou as plataformas tipo brogues que eu quero arranjar um par para mim. Mas eu não consigo decidir que tipo de flatform quero! Claro que o clássico sapato preto seria um óptimo staple mas recentemente estou a adorar sandálias plataforma (talvez seja do Verão a aproximar-se) e ténis plataforma!

flatform sandals by pott

My favorites. I think flatform sandals are so girly and youthful, more than a kitty heel or a wedge sandal in my opinion. I would probably buy a black pair because i feel like they're fresh for summer and i would totally wear them with black tights in the winter.

As minhas favoritas. Eu acho que sandálias plataforma são tão femininas e jovens, mais do que um salto pequeno ou sandálias de cunha na minha opinião. Eu provavelmente compraria um par preto porque sinto que é refrescante para o verão e podia usá-las com collants pretas no Inverno.

flatform sneakers by pott

I think flatform sneakers are so cool looking (even though they always remind me of Baby Spice from Spice Girls ahah).
I love them with interesting details like spikes or different fabrics like velvet. The creepers aren't exactly sneakers but i had to put them somewhere, they're the classic flatform! And i love these new lilac ones. Might just buy them instead of the actual sneakers!

Eu acho que ténis plataforma são tão "cool" (apesar de me lembrarem sempre a Baby Spice das Spice Girls ahah). Eu adoro-os com detalhes interessante scomo tachas ou tecido diferente como veludo. Os creepers não são exactamente ténis mas eu tinha de os colocar algures, são a plataforma clássica! E adoro este novo par lilás. Secalhar comprava-os em vez dos ténis verdadeiros.
Asos has a great selection of flatforms right now.
A Asos está com uma grande selecção de flatforms neste momento.

Studded feet

I'm really loving the idea of a classic shoe silhouette like a loafer/slipper with the edginess of the studs. The 1st ones that i spotted were the very famous VECTRA3 from topshop. Sadly because we don't have this store in Portugal I couldn't get them (I'm not to keen on buying shoes online because my size varies a lot).

Eu adoro a ideia de um sapato clássico tipo mocassin/sapatilha com a irreverência das tachas. Os primeiros que encontrei foram os famosos VECTRA3 da topshop. Infelizmente porque não temos essa loja em Portugal não consegui compra-los (não gosto muito de comprar sapatos online porque o meu numero varia imenso).

topshop VECTRA3

Recently I found these beauties in Zara. They look sort of like dupes of the VECTRA3 the studs are more subtle and instead of leather they're made of polyester . They also come in black and nude like the VECTRA though. They cost 25,95€ which makes them cheaper ha!

Recentemente encontrei estas belezas na Zara. São uma alternativa bastante semelhante aos VECTRA3, as tachas são mais subtis e em vez de cabedal são feitos de poliéster. Também vêm em preto e nude como os VECTRA e custam 25,95€ o que os torna mais baratos ha!

These below are my favourites. I like that the skulls are so dainty that you need to be very close to see them so it's like a pair of classy loafers with a fun twist. I know a lot of people find skulls tacky but i really like them when they're well styled with an outfit. I tried them on the store and they fit very well and the velvety material is very nice. I don't usually trust Bershka's quality but i was very impressed by these. Way better then some H&M shoes i've seen.

Estes são os meus favoritos. Eu gosto que os detalhes das caveiras sejam tão delicados que é preciso estar muito próximo do sapato para as ver bem. Por isso funcionam como um par de loafers com um pormenor interessante. Eu sei que muitas pessoas acham caveiras pirosas mas eu gosto imenso delas quando são usadas com bom gosto num outfit. Eu normalmente não confio na qualidade da Bershka mas fiquei bastante impressionada com estes sapatos. Muito melhores que alguns da H&M que já vi.

Staple #1 - The skater skirt

Hey guys!
For months i've been looking for a "go to" black skirt that i could dress up or dress down very easily. I have a lot of skater dresses so i knew this was the best silhouette for what i had in mind. It's a very flattering shape (to all body  types i believe)  feminine yet simple because it shows your body but not as much as a bodycon skirt would. I finally found the perfect skirt in topshop and i've been loving it! I created some outfit options based on how I've been wearing it.

Besides Topshop ASOS is another online store that usually has a lot of skirts in this style. Oddly enough I couldn't find any black skater skirt in Lisbon. I tried Zara, Pull&Bear, Primark and Bershka and there were a lot of floral skirts but none in a block colour. Of course these shops aren't exactly cheap and buying them online means that we will have to add shipping costs but when buying a staple piece you have to remember that you'll get a lot of use from it so the most important is the quality of your item and that you're 100% happy with it.

Also just because it's a staple piece doesn't mean it has to be black. Nastygal another online shop has some lovely neon skater skirts. Unfortunately their price is out of my range ah! But some of you might like it.

I will leave you with a cool video with more styling ideas (check out this girl's channel she has awesome style). Have a lovely day!
