Dinner Out

Hey guys! 

Yesterday, it was my parent's friend's birthday so we went to our favorite restaurant in the hotel Farol in Cascais! I just love that place, we go there so many times and it seems like I've tried everything and already have my favorites but they keep on surprising us when we order combined sushi which are always different! how much imagination can they have to be using pretty much the same products but always in different ways and shapes and toppings (which is when they put some sugary orange or strawberry on top like they did last night!) My favorites are 'Cafe japan' and 'Dragon Roll' if you ever go there, try them! They taste like.. HEAVEN!! This time we decided to go outside in the little private house to celebrate the Birthday of our friend! I swear to god i never ate so much sushi followed by Lobster and more fish and for the dessert my Favorite Chocolate cake which i always have a place for in my stomach and Friend Sweet Apple with honey i guess.. and ice cream! That little 'box' / private place was below the main restaurant and closer to the rocks! The view was breathtaking but sadly the was no colorful sunset but the beauty and power of the ocean pleased our eyes the entire evening! At first when the 'sun' (which we couldn't see behind the 'hat' of clouds) was still above the horizon it was nice and fresh, as soon as the sun went down, we went to the table and it started getting darker so we turned on the beautiful lamps! I just adored them, i even asked the waiter if he knows where they bought them because it's just a 'must-have' for my veranda/balcony which i'm planning to re-making into a 'chilling place plus gym!' No sun meant no 'nice and fresh' and we had to ask for some blankets. Kids where having fun and running around waiting for food when i noticed they looked like little refugees when they finally sat down to relax! I even took a picture, all though i looked completely the same i decided not to share with you my cold look because if I'm cold it means i transform into a little Rudolph Deer with my nose as red as his! 

For this dinner out I decided to go comfy but nice-looking because I knew it was getting cold at night (all thought i didn't expect it to be THAT cold!) so i wore some Zara basic jeans with a very nice shirt from Stradivarius with pleated back, a necklace from Lefties from ages ago (i was so happy when i found it so i decided to wear it) and my favorite boots from Zara! I though it was really pretty and adequate for celebrating our friend's birthday plus nobody really dressed up so we were casually-pretty :) 

I hope you like the pictures, the amazing view, some juicy pictures of some of the sushi which i could take while it was still light outside and my outfit! :)

Lisbon Explorers

 Hey Hey Hey! 

Today I'm super tired and exhausted but thrilled to tell you about yesterday's adventure in the capital of Portugal - Lisbon! Me and .. My gentleman ;) decided to tick one of the boxes in our To do List for this summer - Visit lisbon! I was the one responsible for planning that trip but oh well i didn't which in the first 30 minutes made us annoyed since we didn't know what to do, but then we both got into the idea of just 'walking around' and exploring places so we just wondered around Chiado.. And then we decided to head our way to Santos where I bought two pares of Paez:) which right after i payed were on my feet because the sandals i was wearing were definitely not for the Lisbon roads!

Since we moved here i haven't been in Lisbon many times, usually it was because going with a huge family like mine was super time consuming and annoying because every moment someone would moan they want to eat, drink, or crying to buy something, and also because the roads are very crowded and it's easy to lose someone specially hyperactive brothers of mine who don't stop running around! 

But even though i've been there a very few times i always loved the spirit of it, the little roads where you can stay and open your arms and touch the walls of the buildings where people actually live! The thing which I'd usually love was the nature of the roads.. Lisbon is build on so many hills there are great ups and downs, which feel like a little roller coaster when you're by car, but since we were walking it was a nightmare and with this hot weather and burning sun it was impossible, good we bought some Frapuccino which helped a lot;) 

Very recently I got my new obsession - the GoPro Hero3! We took it with us, since it's very light, unlike my other camera- Canon550d with super heavy lens.. this one, could fit into M's pockets:) Feeling like tourists we would stop and take pictures everywhere! Literally everywhere! I'm a photo-memories addict! which means i need to have everything pictured and printed and saved in an album so later on, when we'll be older we could see and remember the adventures! I don't really believe people when they say constantly taking pictures takes the ability of 'Living the moment', you cans still enjoy every second and stopping to take a picture wouldn't ruin anything, specially when you have all the time you want!

I knew it would be a long day so when choosing the outfit i had to think, it had to be comfortable, fresh and light! I wore bright red  shorts from Abercrombie, which i just love, super comfy, love the color and with pockets :) (I sincerely hate those pants or shorts with 'fake' pockets, you have them, but you don't!), a white and super nice bershka top! it had to be white, i didn't want to attract more sunlight than there already was and my golden sandals! 

And the pictures of my outfit :) Hope you like it! Any comment and critiques, you know, feel free to comment! Very soon I'll be posting more 'Stories' section posts, I'm saving up your ideas and mine for the times when i'll be at school with no-time (all the plenty of outfits because I'm going into IB which means No Uniform!!! Super excited!! - this also means a lot of shopping coming up heheh) or at winter on heavy-rainy days when i'll be sitting all cuttie-pie with a mug of hot chocolate and in cashmere sweater by the fire and writing you anything you want :) 

-xoxo Masha! Hope you're heaving a great summer! 

Feeling Fresh and Flowy

Hey Guys! 

Few days ago, it was a day at the beach with my family and lunch at beach bar! 

It also was one of those days when there's no sun, just grey skies and extremely hot and feels like your walking in one huge sauna with hot air and no breeze even in Dunes of Guincho when there's always wind, today there wasn't any!!! But thanks this Sabo Skirt Orchard Maxi it was nice, fresh and flowy!

If you remember, in one of my first posts i did my Summer Wishlist and this dress was one of the clothes i said 'i must buy this summer' and hey! Welcome to my closed! I was so happy when i got an opportunity (which is basically the money) to buy it! The Longest 2 weeks past (13 days actually) and i finally got that white bag with this beauty in it! And now I'm happy to show you the pictures! Comment if you like it, any advices and criticism be open and tell me!!! 

Also, comment some ideas for my Stories part, I'm feeling like adding something in :)

Golden Streams of Sunset Rays

Hey Guys!

I was gonna start my day by another "urgh it's monday again" 

but then i remembered Hey! Its Summer!  All though it felt like Mrs. Weather forgot that july is supposed to be hot and sunny and not windy like it's winter! 

It was that windy, it would make me fall! Plus the day started so well I left house without any jackets! 

Today, it wasn't just a summer free Monday, it was a Spontaneous Picnic Monday! As i said before, making the most to of this summer was my major aim, even if it meant kind off self inviting myself to my friends picnic in a very nice garden next to Casino in Estoril! All though when saying 'Picnic' we imagine those inspiring picnic checkered red and white blanket, the picnic bag, toasts with some jelly… but this time as i said it was 'spontaneous' so we went to buy some tasty sandwiches, chocolate croissants and my favorite orange juice in the best pastry shops in Portugal - all though i think its a stereotype.. (i actually think i'll write a post about my relation to stereotypes of places and things!)

To this sweet meet up with my friends i wore something casual and practical for a picnic which I imagined to be with blankets and home-made food, all though the top wasn't very practical in the end of the day since the wind would make it go sideways and upwards and since its so light and flowy it was super cold.. The jeans and the top are from Zara!
