Fashion Survivor


If you're in your twenties it is very likely that you feel overwhelmed and completely lost pretty much all the time. Well, I do and that's way I haven't had the energy to post anything in the blog for the past four months. Like the model on this shoot, I've been shipwrecked for a while. A bit off track, lost, struggling to go past survival mode and actually live the life I am meant to be living. For that, I have once again neglected this blog and my fashion voice, but here's to trying once more. For the resurrection of the blog, I bring you this Numero Tokyo editorial with Dutch model Querelle Jansen photographed by Laurie Bartley and styled by Felipe Mendes. This editorial is all I want to see in a fashion story: a storyline, a bit of an unexpected styling, emotion, and props, lots of props! Only something so amazing could bring me back from the dead!

The Silver Age

Looking at senior supermodel Daphne Selfe and her silver hair in the cover and editorial of Spanish magazine S Moda, I think she looks magnificent but cynically looking at my new profile picture on Facebook, I can't help but forget how hot I look and just notice the fine lines under my eyes and around my mouth. It is embarrassing to admit how common I am but it does scare me how old I'm getting. At "just" 27 I'm already spending a little fortune on anti-aging products that promise me I won't look a day over 20. You would expect that in a time when our life expectancy is getting longer our prime time would not be 17 but 37 or even 47 and beyond. But who is really to blame? Is it the usual scapegoat, the fashion industry and its use of ridiculously young girls in business suits and evening gowns or is it the cosmetic and plastic surgery industries with their infinite and apparently mandatory products and procedures that push us to that quest? Are we being brainwashed or are we just simply afraid of the inevitable? Incapacity and death. Is it really just about saggy breasts and grey hair or are we just afraid of how little we have left and how little we have lived? I know that for me getting older means getting wiser, becoming more successful, having a more meaningful life, becoming more... me. And showing my age without showing the results that should come with that age is too frightening of a possibility. However, I do hope that with age and those wrinkles I dread so much, I will stop caring about those little things and can age gracefully and peacefully and who knows, even become a supermodel after my 70th birthday.

Wild Irish Rose

Hi everyone! Yeah, I haven't blogged in a while, I know... I've just been busy. Not that kind of busy you use as an excuse not to go out with that creepy guy from work you've been avoiding, but that kind of busy that doesn't allow you to do your dishes for a week and wash your hair for five days, yes, that's right, FIVE days (thank God for dry shampoo). But I'm back, at least for today and I want to show you the most beautiful place I've seen in a long time, Kerry in Ireland. We rented a car and headed down to Kerry for the bank holiday weekend last week. It was the best call after a couple of months of madness. The place is magic and oh-so-romantic, specially if you stay in an awesome b&b with a view to the mountains and award-winning macarons for breakfast (a big thanks to Sam at Seaview House btw). I can't believe I've been living in this country for two and half years and had never been there. Loser! I could totally show you the crappy pictures I took, but Annie Leibovitz was there recently and she did a better job. So here is my favourite place in Ireland (so far).

The Simple Life

Even though I grew up in the city, my country roots were always there. My summers were spent in my grandparents' houses in the country, riding bikes, swimming in the river and reading under a big fig tree. Growing up I got used to the quiet country life. To the cosiness of a small place and community. To the comfort of never having to buy fruit or eggs or cabbages. I was accustomed to a simple life with simple pleasures. And although I might have rebelled against it for a while, I now see there's no point in denying the small town girl inside. And to celebrate that girl that I'm proud to be, here's an editorial that just transports me back to that pine tree heaven in Portugal.
Apesar de ter crescido na cidade, as minhas raízes do campo nunca me deixaram. Os meus Verões eram passados nas casas de campo dos meus avós, a andar de bicicleta, a nadar no rio e a ler debaixo duma grande figueira. Durante toda a minha vida, estive habituada a esta vida pacata. Ao aconchego de um sítio pequeno com uma comunidade pequena e unida. Ao comforto de nunca ter de comprar fruta ou ovos ou couves. No fundo, estava acostumada a uma vida simples com simples prazeres. E apesar de durante algum tempo ter negado essa parte de mim, percebi que não vale a pena negar a cachopa da terrinha que há em mim.  E para celebrar essa cachopita, que até tenho muito orgulho em ser, aqui fica um editorial que me transporta para esse meu paraíso de pinhais em Portugal.

The Eighties I Know and Love

DISCLAIMER: I wrote this post under the influence. I had two and ONLY TWO ciders. I really can't hold my liquor...

It's the year 2000 and I'm going through my mom's old fashion magazines: French Elle, German magazine Burda and a Brazilian classic, Carícia. I've read them over and over again, amazed by the fact that they were made before I was even born. But the older I got the less interested I was in that and the more fascinated I got by the fashion historic value of those pieces of paper. It was the beginning of the new millennium and I suddenly went back in time and realized I loved 80s' fashion. The obvious problem was the 80s weren't cool yet. They were a decade of fashion experiments gone wrong. A collection of embarrassing hair styles and the correspondent embarrassing photos. But fast-forward 13 years and here we are: wet hair, sporty clothes in neon colors, tribal influences and metallics. And these are the 80s I know and love. Not just shoulder pads and hair spray. But the 80s that had color and smelled of exotic beaches. Even if no one else can see it, this is the 80s! My 80s! My mom's 80s! It's the 80s of the first fashion magazines I've ever read (even before I could read). I know they might go again soon, but for now, I'll just enjoy them while they last!
