The Follow Affair

Blogging has so many benefits and one of them is connecting you to the world, meeting new people, brands and online shops. By now you must know that I love the middle east and fashion there is growing and so are their fashion offers and shops, lately I fell in love with this Instagram online shop from Jordan, Retraw_ . Has amazing clothes and accessories, and you want to buy it all but for now I would take the bag with the eyes, so cute. I first saw Haya Awad, the creator of the Karlito t-shirt , with one and wanted to know where could I buy it. They have all the same size, since mini bags are the IT bags now, they are perfect, and you can choose different colors. Ohh I want them all, but I would be happy with just the red one. Beside being beautiful they have the right price, only 55 USD. Which one is your favorite? xoxo, A

After a long day of study time and a little bit of yoga there's no better way to relax than doing some online shopping or just seeing what's new. Uterqüe has amazing heels, and as a shoe lover myself of course I had to fell in love with some. I found out that Summer is just around the corner and I don't have any sandals to wear, so I choose this gorgeous feather sandals , whether you wear jeans or a maxi dress they look so good. The other day I went to Primark and there I found the most amazing high heel with snakeskin effect but just from putting them on my feet hurt, so that was a no buy. Instead I am thinking about this Uterqüe snakeskin effect heels , fell head offer heels for this heels. Perfect to wear them with my jeans. My Mango black pumps are in serious need of retirement, so I have to find a new pair and this black high heels are the ones that I need. Can you believe that I never owned a pair of red heels? How can that be? I shoe lover but neve...

What's better than a giant box full of Louboutin heels? Nothing! But then again you can always order a giant Christian Louboutin shoe box so you can protect your fabulous shoes from dust, mean dogs that attack heels or just so you can have your collection in one place to look fabulous in your fabulous house. The creator of this amazing box is The Wood Sheikh, follow him on Facebook or Instagram to see his amazing products and watch the videos. For a custom made shoe box in wood it's not very expensive, around 407 euros, just think that a pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle is 485 euros. I think the first step to take towards Christian Louboutin should be owning this box and then the shoes. The shoes need a pretty box so they can have a great life, and since they feel happy they won't hurt your feet, loving you forever. This year I'll be a very good girl so that Santa brings me this box for next Christmas, I promise. Pictures from The Wood Sheikh Facebook x...

I'm a huge Breakfast at Tiffany's fan, not only of the book but also read the book a 100 times. It's different interpretations of Holly Golightly but I love them both. Audrey Hepburn turned this character into the most known in the classic movies, and even the accessories and clothes worn by the character  are wanted all over the world. I already wrote about the iconic lipstick worn by Holly in the cab scene, a Revlon pink color, that I totally want for my collection, unfortunately I haven't had the time to visit Revlon in Lisbon and buy the lipstick. It wasn't only the lipstick that was turned into an iconic part of the movie, you can't talk about the movie without mentioning the sunglasses worn by Holly throughout the movie. At first I thought they were Ray Ban Wayfarer, the design looks a lot like the Ray Ban classic model but after intense research I found out the real thing. Oliver Goldsmith designed the sunglasses, the model is called Manhattan, the...

I remember when I was a little girl and my mother used to sing this song to my in Portuguese, well she still does sing it to my little sisters. It's because of her that I'm addicted to bikinis and this is the perfect music for summer, for you to dance in your bikini. I'm crazy about bikinis, trickiness and whatever kini word there is, my collection is enormous but I've been a good girl and haven't bought a single bikini since 2013. This year I have to buy at least one and I already have a special one that I'm courting in the internet, from KIINI. KIINI is a super fun bikini brand, vibrant colors, great shape to fit, handmade, Ipek Irgit is the designer, born in Turkey, based in New York. You probably already saw celebrities wearing this magical bikinis, like Cara Delevingne, Bar Refaeli and Dree Hemingway, they looked perfect and hey, I want to look perfect too. My favorites are definitively Tasmin and Yaz , preferring the first one. What I lov...

Accessories for bags are a must, a few months ago you only worried about the accessories you were going to use, earrings, bracelets, necklace but now you need to think about what accessory your bag needs for your look to be complete. The variety is enormous, just with the Fendi monsters you have a lot to pick from and of course my favorite Karlito man. I also discovered a new bag accessory, the TchiTchi Doll. The beautiful hand made doll figures are a creation from a Lebanese fashion expert and TV presenter, Fadia Dekmak, the idea started June 2014 and the fans on Instagram keep on growing, The Follow Affair being one of them. Compare to the Fendi monsters the TchiTchi dolls are more within your price range.

I'm not a comic book girl! I have read the classic ones that every little kid reads when they are young, Tintin, Asterix and Obelix, Mickey Mouse, besides this I'm not crazy about this type of books. Buuuut I'm going crazy for this Dior comic book from the writer and graphic designer Annie Goetzinger. Amazing illustrations, with breath taking dresses describes in perfection every look and character in a luxurious world. Main character is named character and the story revolves around her being a fashion journalist that after attending a Dior fashion show, in 1947, the year it revolutionized the industry introducing the "New Look", arouses the attention of the designer. Being a fan of this house I'm going to buy the book for sure but for now is going to my Wish List.

I love the Peanuts, Snoopy is so cute, and his relationship with Charlie Brown is the perfect example of what friendship is all about. Who doesn't love watching The Great Pumpkin on Halloween? After all this years I still watch it on my computer and I always laugh! Of course when I found out The Cambridge Satchel Company created The Peanuts Collection, I had to see the collection online and fell in love at first sight with Peanuts Large Zip Pouch in blue with Snoopy on it. Besides they have Peanuts Dog Collar, the right ones for my crazy dog Tobias, even a 4 year old boxer would look super cute. And 10% of all dog collars sales will be donated to the Animal Health Trust, it's a great idea to help.   Peanuts Large Zip Pouch Peanuts Medium Dog Collar Don't forget to watch The Peanuts Movie this year, November 2015. xoxo, A

You can choose from the three videos and decide which one is your favorite, " The Postman ", " The Make Out ", " The Battlefield ". Of course the Galleria is going to my wish list. xoxo, A

Going crazy to buy this book! Only on Amazon.uk I found a good price for this IT book! I miss the my Dubai Giant Bookstore, KINOKUNIYA , I would lose myself in it. Here in Portugal, international books are very few, so every time I traveled to Dubai I would spend a lot of time and money in books and my luggage was so heavy that I was always scared that my fancy new clothes wouldn't come with me. xoxo, A

Like every girl, my favorite movie is..... Breakfast at Tiffany's (and I read the book). And if you didn't saw one of my latest Instagram pictures, Audrey Hepburn is my life icon! Not only I recognize her as a great actress and a beautiful woman but she was a fantastic person. Helping others was her desire and that's what she did until her death. Her work is fantastic and it's amazing how a human being has so much to give. It was her hard years during the WWII that made her this persona, influencing her through her life. If you saw the movie (maybe a thousand times like me), your eyes locked on that beautiful scene at the end, where she is in the taxi with Paul reading the letter from José and she says " A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick...."  and you see that amazing pink lipstick. I don't like pink very much for lipstick but that specific color I love it (no, it's not because of the movie). It was created for Audrey...
