Where I Wish I Could Be: Santorini

I've been there once and I can't wait to go back. Santorini is the perfect combination of paradisiacal and rustic, of glamour and genuineness, with its white and blue buildings, colourful streets filled with handicraft stores, delicious restaurants and, of course, a gorgeous torquoise sea. Everywhere you look there are flowers and pools, wood and stone, in a contrast of colours and textures you can never forget. The sunset on the vulcano side is one of the most awesome things you will ever see and at night, when the lights turn on and the sky turns dark, the view over the caldera side of the island is breathtaking. 

Long story short... When you get there, you just don't want to leave anymore.

California, here we come!

Adam Brody for GQ May

Hello there handsome! Long time no see. Adam Brody, anyone? 

Take some notes future boyfriend, this is how you should be dressed right now. Especially if you're channeling your inner californian preppy self from picture 5. Or the leather jacket rocky vibe from picture 6. The only thing I'd change is the Havaianas on the fourth picture, sure Adam can pull them off, but there's no way they'd ever work outside of the editorial environment. Well, but besides that it's Seth Cohen all the way.

Oysho Open Day and Chateau Marmont

Carmen (Breakfast at Tiffany's), eu, Anita (Look A Day) e Cátia (LX State of Fashion)

Mais vale tarde do que nunca não? Pois é, no passado mês de Abril tive o prazer de estar presente no Open Day da OYSHO, que decorreu num hotel giríssimo perto de Torres Vedras, e onde foi apresentada a sua nova colecção de lingerie, homewear, sleepwear, gymwear e footwear para o Verão de 2012. Visto que, cabeça no ar como sou, me esqueci da máquina fotográfica em casa, tive de ir "roubar" estas imagens ao blog da Cátia (LX State of Fashion) para poder documentar esta tarde muito bem passada com uma óptima companhia e recheada de cocktails fantásticos, petiscos exóticos e gelados de fazer crescer água na boca!

Sobre a colecção:

• estampados tropicais - check!
• tons neon e pastel - check!
• estampados africanos - check!
• inspiração marítima - check, check, check! 
• naif  vs vintage pin up - so much check on this one!!

A coleção foi fotografada no mítico Chateau Marmont, em Hollywood, o destino favorito de atores e estrelas do rock desde há décadas atrás.

Minty Fresh

The colour that is everywhere. Not much is left to say about it but, even after all the hype it's been getting in the blogosphere and fast fashion stores, I STILL love this hues. Especially when it's combined with other pastel colours, white, navy blue or gold.

 'Summery', fresh and candy like, mint and all the blueish/greenish tones associated with it have been flooding our closets in every shape and material and we don't mind at all.
