Star Wars fever spread to everywhere to everything!
Fans got themselves surrounded by all kind of products with Star Wars images and it was very hard not to notice, a new film was about to preview.
Clothing was not an exception to this fever and, in my opinion, Irregular Choice was obviously one of the brands that would take this fever to another level.

I'm a fan of this brand for a long time and I had a pair of pink ballerina shoes with animal print, but unfortunately my feet grow (yes, I'm older than 30 years old but my feet keep growing) and they didn't fitted anymore. Sadly!

However, here it is some examples, really bold from Irregular Choice, but is how this brand is!








And enjoy the rest of your day!

Well the year just begun and I already feel it was not a very goo year!
I don't want to be pessimist and call it bad year, but maybe this year will be described like that. We will see!

Professionally and personally things have been strange lately and honestly I feel an anticipation of something bad coming ahead.
I don't like to fell that way, I don't like to be pessimist. I like to be optimist, having will to make things happen, being hopeful and full of energy... And this bad felling makes me fell depressed.

Truth to be told, things already are happening... To proof that last sunday, just to 'make' my day, I had a small car accident! Luckily only material damages and on my own car.
My head is 'on the moon' and unexpected events are happening in the daily work, at Bianca where I volunteer and I hit with my car on a pole at local supermarket...

Hey! Bad luck! Envy! Go away!!!
I hope you guys are having a good year!

After past monday news about David Bowie death, it seams to make sense to post about him today.
David Bowie was definitely a futuristic artist, much ahead of his time than anyone else, which made him a true icon between other artists!

I was not exactly his fan, however I had a huge respect for him! I respect his geniality, his creativity, eccentric vision about his music and artwork.
So here it is 4 exceptional music of David Bowie or sang by him!









Meanwhile and yet about his death, some curiosities.
The last twitter account he followed was God. And that God himself, wrote a post about him!

Honestly, hanging out with David Bowie is even cooler than I thought it would be!

Beside that, his last work was launched on this 69th anniversary day, January 8th, few days before he passed away, It was like Bowie himself planned all this including his own death time. I wouldn't be surprised if so...
Some people say, Blackstar video is telling you he is about to die.

And if you are interested, here it is, the interview of the designer who design Blackstar artwork: http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/jonathan-barnbrook-david-bowie-blackstar

Well I think I mentioned several times I like to have different colour nails...
I love to have one of each colour or make variations.
I have many polish nails, but the most of them are low quality polish nails, because I don't like to spend to much money on this type of things.
However, on Christmas, Heidiland offer me a good Loreal polish nail and I admit I felt the difference about the quality.
The brush is excellent, is so smooth an the colour is bright and dry faster.



This polish nail came with a top coat which add more bright and help to preserve the polish on your nail.
I liked it very much this gift :D
By the way, Heidiland also offered me chocolate!

And enjoy the rest of your day!

Last Christmas I received one particular gift that I enjoy very much! It was handmade chocolate from Equador brand, and I most say it was fantastic!
Normally I don't really appreciate dark chocolate however this one is soooo good that doesn't seams to be dark like other brands taste like.
The paper was so beautiful that I had extra care when I open it, so I would not ruin those beautiful illustrations.
The chocolate is smooth, tasteful and the chocolate bar had half of walnuts on top of it.
I had tasted other 2 flavours and they were (also) amazing.




And enjoy the rest of your day!

Today I was mentioned on Heidiland blog, about Christmas gifts exchange!
Go there and check what I gave to the girl.
About what she gave me, I will post soon.

No final de 2015 e início de 2016, vários artistas decidiram mostrar para o grande público músicas novas.
Da minha parte, fiquei muito feliz quando vi no facebook dos Radiohead, que os senhores tinham sido convidados a fazer uma música para o 007 James Bond, música essa que no final não foi escolhida, mas mesmo assim é lindíssima!
Também a Taylor Swift, lançou mesmo nas últimas horas de2015 um novo single... Muito ao seu jeito! :)
Mas muitos mais anunciaram o regresso como foi também o caso dos NIN, David Bowie, Guns and Roses, Metallica, tool ou Beyonce, só para mencionar alguns que planeiam editar neste ano de 2016.
Ora aqui ficam as 4 músicas do início de 2016.









And enjoy the rest of your day!

I don't know if you all know that National Antique Art Museum (MNAA) was taken into the streets several paintings?
Well, it did and they were not actually the real paintings however were high quality copies.
Some of these paintings were stolen and displayed in a different place than the original. Act not preformed by any MNAA member... The unknown person who did this, as called Robin of Arts.

Pictures taken from MNAA facebook page.

Now these paintings are going to be auction!
I find this idea fantastic, plus the starting price is only 100 euros! I bet this number will go up and up quickly, but a girl can dream a bit and I would not mind to have one or two in my house.
Se quiserem participar no leilão, sigam este link:

By the way, the museum is have a campaign to collect money to buy Sequeira paintings.You can read more here!
