Almost feeling good as new after the terrible cold I caught last week. Rafael took great care of me as usual (truth is, I love being spoiled by him sometimes…hahaha). Looking forward to the weekend, tomorrow is supposed to be a sunny day here in Berlin….YAY!!!

Here are my 5 Weekly Favs:

1- My favourite Brazilian rock psychedelic band, Os Mutantes, is getting a new photography book (A Hora e a Vez), with unpublished pictures taken during the period of 1969 – 1974 by Leila Lisboa….Oh how I love the 70’s!

2- Nerd alert! hahaha..even more excited to watch “Star Wars – The Force Awakens” after its new trailer 😀

3- Amazed by these artsy embroidered pieces custom made by Maricor/Maricar;

4- Rafael made this very cool illustration of Isaac Asimov as gift a for one of our friends, which he loved of course! You can check out more of his illustrations on Pinterest;

5- Gustav Klimt is one of my favourites artists, this week I discovered that the photographer Inge Prader recreated Klimt’s most iconic work with real-life models…the result is stunning!

Have a wonderful weekend and be happy 🙂

TGIF! For me this week passed really slow, sometimes I get irritated over dumb things and that usually kills the good mood in the house, if there’s one thing I need to learn to control, it’s my temper. Also, everyone at my german class is sick, and for my bad luck I caught it too, luckily Rafael didn’t. At least we get to stay home for the next two weeks, it’s Autumn break around here…yay!

Here are my 5 weekly favourites:

1- Best wildlife photograph by National Geographic, you can see here 11 of the year’s best wildlife photographs;

2- Mademoiselle Privé, a Chanel’s exhibition is taking place at Saatchi Gallery in London. It’s a journey through the origins of Chanel’s creations capturing the charismatic personality and irreverent spirit of Mademoiselle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. Wish I was there to visit!

3- The chicest movie posters of all time, I fell in love with that Black Swan’s poster;

4- Popular brands logos brilliantly mashed up with famous paintings;

5- How beautiful are these embroidered piece of nature by Oly Shamrik?!

Have a wonderful weekend!

And if you are in Germany, Schönes Ferien!

1- Chanel scenarios for the Paris Fashion Week are always so fun, this time they built a nearly-to-scale airport inside the Grand Palais, you can read more about the show on this Elle’s article;

2- I’ve been looking for a shade of lipstick between burgundy and dark purple, but until know I haven’t found the “one”. On the other hand, I found this gorgeous shade of nail polish from Maybelline – Burgundy Kiss, and gave myself a manicure today, and that was the result 🙂

3- I adore Erica’s DIY on Honestly WTF, I just wish I’d have the tools to do this cute brass fringe earrings!

4- This video of NatGeo Wild of an unusual friendship between a rescued cheetah and a labrador makes me believe that anything is possible;

5- Totally addicted on the Alabama Shakes album Boys and Girls, her voice is so incredible!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Welcome October!!

1- Wouldn’t mind if I had this beautiful Illustrated Yoga book;

2- I’ve been wanting to try my luck at backing muffins and this Vegan Cinnamon Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Glaze would definitely be my first option;

3- Now that my hair is a little bit longer, I want to try different hair styles. This gorgeous crown braid tutorial seems so easy, but I still don’t know if I’m able;

4- I’m always amazed by the details of Dolce and Gabbana’s fashion show and this Vogue’s article satisfied a little bit of my curiosity;

5- Cute and fun paper straws that I bought this week.

Have a wonderful weekend!

1- I still can’t get enough of my sunflower (photo above), every morning when I wake up and see that beautiful flower, it just makes me smile, can’t wait for all the buds to bloom;

2- Here’s a good thought for welcoming the new season: 4 Ways to Embrace Autumn’s Arrival;

3- I grew up watching Peanuts cartoons on TV, one of my ultimate dream as a kid was to have a beagle called Snoopy (I still want that though..haha). When they started to promote the Peanuts Movie with this action to Peanutize yourself, I didn’t think twice…it was so fun! 😀

4- This beautiful boho editorial on Vogue Australia made my eyes sparkle;

5- Thinking a little bit more about Autumn, a song from a band that I adore, The White Stripes, came straight to my mind. We are going to be friends is such a cute song and I love it.

Have a wonderful weekend!

This past week was a really important week for us, on September 16th we celebrated 4 years together! Hooray 😀 We celebrated with two date nights: in and out. On Wednesday, Rafael made this incredible bruschetta with prosciutto, figs and camembert cheese, the most perfect combination if you ask me! And of course we opened a bottle of red wine and enjoyed the company of Dexter Morgan while we were at it! We started watching Dexter on Netflix three weeks ago, and we are so hooked up, we just finished the third season. It’s amazing how his character is so well built, you get so involved in his life that you start cheering for him, although he is a serial killer…it only happens in fiction! hahahaha

My Mini Diana

A couple of years ago, Rafael gave me a Lomo camera, Mini Diana. I was thrilled! It had been years since I took a photo with an analogical camera. It came with three 35 mm film, one black and white and two coloured (normal and chrome). The first time that I used the camera, I mixed the films….I thought that I was using a coloured one, but instead, it was the black and white. Until today, I still don’t know how I did that, because the type is written on the film….a little bummer, but still I had some nice pictures at the end, but I have to confess that some of them are black as the night! hehehehehe

A Day to Remember

These are probably my favourite photos of my mother (her name was Vera), they were taken before I was born. Today was supposed to be her 64th birthday. It has been 16 years, she passed away when I was 9, luckily I had the chance to spend those years with her. She was a librarian, but preferred to stay at home to take care of me and my sister, whose 8 years older than me.
