Just a peek

  

No decent pictures of the complete outfit yet, I leave you with just a peek.

Oh, and that was my date. Am I a lucky girl or what? (shhhh... don't say a word, I know I'm still crazy in love!)

wedding at the weekend... what to wear?

So... I bought a dress. It's a little cocktail dress.

It's emerald green. It's short (maybe too short...). It's strapless. It has a vintage feel in it's rockabilly shape. And it has stripes on the skirt!

It's the kind of dress you can really dress up or dress it down. So, I could grab a pair of black heels from the closet, and maybe a little black jacket and get away with that, and look sharp and polished. But... I'm more into looking sweet than sassy. There for I've decided to wear my wedding shoes (or maybe I was just waiting for an excuse to do it...). Just because they look sweet and they complete the outfit less sharper but more vintagy. Or so I think. Plus the husband is taking his linen light brown suit*, so I don't want to end up looking like Carrie Bradshaw datting Noah Calhoun, if you know what I mean.

My wedding shoes

So, now what should I wear with that? Hair up? Hair down? Curly? hum... Jewelry, acessories, or not so much? I'm thinking to go easy only with a statment necklace, but not so shure of that either. Don't want to go over the head with green, but don't know if it would work adding other colors. Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of using color, as long as I don't look like a traffic light!

I know. It's the day after tomorrow. Any advice??

*Just for the record, I bought the husband a cute tie, and thats it. He is ready to go. Easy to be a guy... That just makes me mad!

Weekend at the beach

Well, not really, but that's what we hoped for.

Last week we felt like camping again. We haven't done it in a long time, I mean... not since the wedding almost a year ago (yes! a year in a few days!!).

Since it was hot we chose the beach. So we went for three days to a small village near Aveiro called Praia da Vagueira (Beach of Vagueira). It turns out it was not hot after all... It was windy and a bit cold because the sun felt like playing hide and seek with us, but it was worth it! We ate fresh fish, bought fruit and veggies from the local producers, took long walks (when the wind calmed down and allowed us that), took hundreds of pictures (ok, I confess: I took them. Thank God the husband aka my-personal-model doesn't complain! God knows I would.), and mostly just enjoyed the quiet and being with each other. In the end, that's really what matter.









In the end it paid of not being mad with the weather, after all we just wanted to be alone, away and relax a bit. So, guess what? The very last day the sun really came out behind the clouds, the wind stopped around lunch time and we had a wonderfull beach afternoon. Just the way I like it. Quiet... and the beach getting empty as the sun gets closer to the horinzon and the families leave to get back home. And man, it was hot! So what to do? Put on the bikini, sunscreen and... take more pictures.











I really don't like extra long posts that forces you to scroll down over and over, but I just couldn't resist to put all these photos so, sorry for that.
