paper.

when, last year, i decided to move to the UK that meant having to get rid of all the stuff i gathered for 5 years in my flat in Lisbon. some of the stuff i packed and brought with me, others i just packed and left in Lisbon and a lot of it i just put in the bin.

it was heartbreaking to throw away most of the magazines i had been collecting for so many years, but i had no choice. i sold some, i gave away others, but most of it went to the recycling bin.

from that moment on i decided to stick to just the ones i really love. it was a hard decision, but i had to pick my favourites.

so, i decided to just keep buying Lula, Apartamento and Love.
then Cereal was launched. and i had to make an exception. #1 was already sold out by the time i heard of the magazine, so i could only get my hands on the #2 and the ones that came after.
i was even fast enough to get a copy of the #4 limited edition (pictured above), from whose all sale's proceeds went to The International Tree Foundation. i admit it, im a sucker for limited editions. and if its for a good cause then its even better.

this means i now just buy these 4 magazines, i ve forbidden myself to buy others than these.

even though the quality of Lula magazine (aesthetics in general, contents and covers) has, been, in my opinion, decreasing, i just kept buying it. it was more of a cult thing and i really like the way they all look together in the shelf. pretty vain, i know.

but today i read that Leith Clark will no longer be part of Lula, so i guess this is the perfect excuse to stop buying it.

luckily, to the fashion and publishing industries, Leith will be embracing a new project - Violet - that i can't wait to have in my hands, i have no doubt she will put together an amazing publication. Violet will be launched in Spring 2014. read about it here.

(i must confess i ve been a bad girl and bought So It Goes mag #1 a couple of months ago, just because i was really curious, loved the cover, and i am a vonnegut fan).

portobello.

some backstage photos i took during the shooting of the Pepe Jeans campaign last month in Portobello.

ever since i bought The Wes Anderson Collection book i ve been rewatching all his movies. i ve been reading the chapter of each movie right after watching it, and it's amazing to know all those little details about it and things that i had never noticed before.

even if his movies don't have the usual happy endings i always feel blessed and happy after watching them, i feel like taking the most of what i got, of appreciating the small and beautiful things in life, of loving the beauty in the ordinary.

(i usually also feel like redecorating the whole house - the sets in his movies are always the best.)

for those living in London, the Prince Charles Cinema is doing a Wes Ander-Thon on the 9th. from 9pm to 8am. and you get free popcorn if you take a red Zissou's hat. check it here.

september.

first days of fall.

Summer is officially over. 

I just made my first batch of vegan chocolate chip cookies and I will be taking the blanket out of the closet soon.

it´s nice to be back.

room service at hotels is one of those little pleasures in life that really make me happy. specially when fries are available.

being back home after travelling is another (despite the unpacking part).

no.

means no.

note to self.

rebe.

i already wrote about my love for hampstead heath on this blog (here, for those of you who are more distracted) but i never wrote about my love for meeting new amazing people in this city, so, here is the perfect post for that.

this is Rebe, she is this girl full of life, of positive attitude, of talent (she is an actress as well as a journalist) and with a determination that inspires me. being around her always results in laughs and good times.
this week we are both celebrating our first year anniversary living here and i will also be celebrating the fact that in these 12 months our paths crossed.
and yeah, that is Rebe in hampstead heath. and that first one is just an accidental floor shot, in case you were wondering.
