I remember the first time I went to ModaLisboa...I was about 15 years old and had just given up on economy and decided to do fashion. It was in March 2008 and the designer I remember the most is Aleksandar  Protic (one of my favorite designers). I almost cried on that day and I don't know exactly why, maybe because I knew that I made the right choice and that was what I needed to do for the rest of my life or maybe just because I was oh so scared of never reaching my goals and my parents being right about fashion as a profession being just a dream. Tiago and I used to walk around person to person asking for invitation after invitation... 
Yesterday I got a letter from ModaLisboa, I was expecting invitations but they sent me a pass. I haven't reached all my goals yet but I think the first reason for almost crying on that day is the right one...
So let's get ready to rock and suffer on high heels and itchy sequins jackets! It's time to choose looks over comfort, to express, to love and to SCREAM! After all it's an early Christmas for fashionistas...
I'm getting  rid of this flu and getting bigger clutches... for the pills!

Sad to be gone/ Glad to be back


I left New York a few days ago and I must be honest....
You know... NY makes you wish you were richer so that way you could buy everything, taller even if for that you would have to wear high heels on the oh-so-perfect sidewalks and ,in my particular case, older. Makes you wish you had more time there either to see all the exquisite views and wonderful museums but most of all, once you leave NY makes you wish you were back there in a second! The only way to try to fulfill this last wish is by well...taking photos!
So here are some pictures of my last day in the real City and of some showcases which stores I didn't get in for both brokenness and relative hurry.
















































Well NY is the sh*t but sure feels good to be back to Lisbon! To the land of shopping limitations and nice taxi drivers, colorful and short buildings, sunny days, easy reading subway maps and no party restrictions being 18!
Sure feels great to be back to it all and much more... (why do our sidewalks have to be so beautiful and yet difficult to walk?)
