Desculpa

♥
Desculpa, estamos no verão. E o verão obriga-me a ser feliz. Vou Esquecer esta dor e deixar-te estendido no varão. Eu queria ter tempo para ficar a pensar em nós e tentar entender o que já não importa, mas o sol ta quente e a praia tá linda. Desculpa, é que quando me lembro que não choro há já algum tempo, as minhas amigam chamam-me para ir dar um mergulho e sofrer fica para depois. Um depois que nunca chega. o mar tá tão agitado que me acalma. Não consigo surtar e ter paranóias, olha quantos sorrisos! Ah, o verão. Tu contas-me as tuas novidades e eu fico feliz por ti, feliz sem ti. O céu tá limpo e não tem espaço para mágoas. As horas voam e eu não tenho tempo para te explicar o que ainda somos ou deixámos de ser. Fica bem, cuida-te! Queria contar-te as minhas novidades mas sabes, ando sem tempo. Já foi o teu tempo! É verão.

Empty nest sindrome

 These days, the classic description of lingering depression, apathy, and loss of identity ("Who am I if I'm not taking care of the kids?") it's hitting me like a lightning bolt. They have been away for 2 weeks now and i've never been alone in my life! coming from a family of 10 siblings and having my son at a very young age, being alone never even crossed my mind. It's the first time ever i've been away from my kids more then a couple of days and i feel like my world is going to collapse! I can't take two more weeks of this . Every one is saying this is good, that i need to get used to it as it's gonna happen more times from now on and mainly that i should find the time to rediscover myself and take care of me. But being a mom is not only what i do, is WHO I AM! And although some people would think it's sad a women as young as me is writing this, is true! They are everything for me and i can't live without them. Thank god there is still at least 12 more years until my son goes to college, because this will require some getting used to!

Mourning

This has been a really strange week for me, it look's longer then usual. After a good week of holidays abroad i get the news that my grandmother, the women who brougth me up from crib, passed away. And it's like someone took the floor below my feet. I've cried like a baby all week but now is time to get on with my life and just think she's in a better place. Just hope it gets easier in time. Reast in peace avó cidade <3

DIY persnonalised bag

I have always wanted a personalised bag. For me is like a must have piece for everyone. But they are normally too expensive and this days of mass production is not easy to find a place that does them anymore. Louis Vuitton has gorgeous ones with many diferente combinations of stile, font , colour, etc... but the one i want retails at around 700£, and honestly, there is other things i rather spend my money on. So, since i can't find a affordable personalised bag i did one myself. i simply bought the leather bag, some letter stencil from a stationary store and a golden permanent pen and i have a bag that i absolutly LOVE.

Paris, here i come!

I don't know paris, even though my step father is french, and it's one of the places to go in my bucket list .So, as the kids are going to their father for a few weeks and the bank holiday weekend is just around the corner, i decided this is a good oportunity to go. And i am going alone, to the city of love, but i don't really care about that parte. i'm sure it's going to be magical.

Blackberry our Iphone? Hum...

I am addicted to my phone. I admit. If i leave the house without it i don't care were i'm going our if i'm going to be late, i'll come back to get it. I don't need the last model and i can't do touch screan, believe me i've tried, so i have a blackberry and i love it. it's my baby and my whole life is in it. i always feel like bb users and iphone users have a certain revalry and so i am a self proclaimed bb lover. but lately i can't help but lean over to the enemy side and admit that the iphone is so much more functional in so many different ways. And with acessories like the new i pad cover from louboutin i am falling in love with the idea of having one really fast.... Sorry bb , but it's time for your retirement.

Thanks mom !

When on holidays last may, i saw this super chic flats in Zara but because i had already bought so much i tought i would buy them back here in the uk. But litlle did i know the adventure it would be to find them! When i came back i started looking in every Zara from north to south but i couldn't find them and they weren't in site no more! My heart was broken... but i still had some hope so i went online looking for a picture and posted it on Facebook hoping that someone would spot it .I even offered a reward (hahaha) and my mom, god bless, found them and made sure they came home to me where they belong :) so now we are a happy family! Cheers mom x

Summer Bible

Yesterday i left the kids at my sister´s with the excuse that i needed to find a cabin size luggage for the holidays at a good price. That was one of the reasons, of course, but i also hit the high street free of worries and willing to spend. i got lost in zara, miss selfridge, Topshop, H&M, etc... after all does i realised that i still didn't had my luggage so i went into tkmaxx and made some compulsory shopping ( i know...i know...bad girl). one of them was a book that just called my name for a reason and i bought it without reading the preface. OMG , its the must have book. how did i miss it for so long? i love her funny stile and it has the best reviews from the top people in fashion and not only. I obsessed over it last night and couldn't get enough of it.  its gonna be a great company for does long days on the beach.  Definitely go and pick up your copy of  A girl for all seasons!

 

Holidays!

                                                  Finally!!!
