Hey! It's been a while since I wrote something customized here for the last time. I'm actually quite in conflict if I'm going to keep this blog for too long. I am tired of ootd posts and such, so I'm really choosing which items I want to receive and advertise here because it takes a lot of time/effort and I don't feel like having tons of things that don't fit me well or that I will never actually wear because I'm not even able to iron that. Anyways. 

What a week!! :) Most of the times when I stay in São Paulo during the weekends I like to do a lot of things and enjoy all the events the city offers for you. Too bad the subway tickets are a bit expensive if you want to make a little tour around the city, but well... It was my birthday this week, on Wednesday, but I got cold and spent most of the day doing bureaucratic stuff for my enrollment to the PhD. Yes, it's definitely happening now! :) Afterwards I visited my relatives and went back to my mother's house to see my cat and recover my energies. Lucky enough I recovered until yesterday, when I joined a conference about virtual reality, in which I lectured about how science fiction can be inspiring (and has already inspired, in fact) scientific innovations. It was amazing!

Hey! I'm not going to write much today, but I wanted to show you this gorgeous shirt I received from Light in the Box. I always saw this model either in outfit posts from other bloggers or maybe the reference from Saint Laurent, so then I wanted to have my own bow shirt. I remember when I was 15 and I did a cosplay of Ryutaro Arimura of Plastic Tree, back in the time when he used to wear a more child-like/androgynous style, and I even got my hair cut like his and such. I didn't have so many resources for buying different clothes in 2005 and I didn't know any seamstress that could do a good job and that I could afford, so I remember that I got a random piece of black fabric and ripped everything to make the bow hahaha... good times, except not.

Hey all. New outfit here. I received this cute chain necklace from Lightinthebox a couple of weeks ago and last week I had the chance to take some new pics for the blog. I was always curious about this style of necklace, since I loved to add it in my collages for outfits, but never had the chance to wear one of these myself. Most of the times I relate this style to hip hop rather than something grunge or even punk, though they used to wear necklaces like that, including a lock too. Classic punk accessory, in fact. But I decided to put it in a grunge/streetstyle here, in combination with a round skater dress from Forever 21.

Oi! :) Hoje eu quis dar uma mudada e acrescentar uma cor diferente do tradicional preto e branco dos meus looks. Minha mãe anda viciada em turquesa (o que ela chama de azul Tiffany) e eu meio que entrei na onda. Na verdade, eu quase tinha comprado essa blusinha para mim, mas achei que tinha ficado grande demais - e ficou, mas sempre dou truque nas roupas quando vou tirar foto ahahahha. Tenho visto vários modelos assim, com esse fiozinho acima do decote e acho bem legal. Meio que acompanha a tendência dos strappy bras - que, inclusive, são impossíveis de achar por aqui em Sorocaba.

Hi! :) Today I wanted to change a little bit and add an extra color on my traditional black and white outfits. My mother has been quite addicted to turquoise (what she calls Tifanny blue) and I ended up liking it as well. As a matter of fact, I almost had bought this top for me, but I thought it was too large - and it is, but I have my tricks for taking pictures hahaha. I have been seeing several tops with this strap over the neckine, which is something that I find very nice. In some way, it follows the strappy bra trend - by the way, I can't possibly find those around here, in my city.

Gente, que correria! Essas últimas semanas têm sido bem cheias. Mas ainda bem, né? Pior ficar mofando dentro de casa. Ontem fui pega de surpresa e participei de um desfile beneficente depois de praticamente sete anos sem fazer isso. Eu ainda não estou com as fotos, então vou deixar para postar algo no Facebook ou por aqui mesmo nos próximos dias, mas foi um evento que aconteceu aqui em Sorocaba, em apoio a CIM, Centro de Integração de Mulheres. 

Mas vamos ao look de hoje! Muito feliz que minhas coisinhas da SheInside chegaram na semana passada, apesar de taxadas pela Receita. Olha, vou dizer uma coisa para vocês: a Receita está de péssimo humor e está fazendo todo mundo rodar. A moça dos Correios me disse que ultimamente tem sido taxado e eu acredito que, inclusive, meu nome tenha entrado numa "lista negra" - aparentemente isso é verdade, já que conversei com outras pessoas. Paciência, gente... o que vocês podem fazer é apostar nos fretes mais lentos e mais baratos e não comprar muita coisa de uma só vez. Alguns pacotes meus não foram taxados assim, então fica a dica.

Wow, these days have been very busy! But that's something good in the end, isn't that? I think it's worse to stay at home doing literally nothing every single day. Yesterday I was surprised by an invitation to join a fashion show after seven years. I don't have the photos yet, so I'll post something later on Facebook or here, in the following days. What I can say is that the event happened here in Sorocaba and it was to support the female organization CIM, Integration Center for Women.

But let's talk about today's outfit! I'm very happy that my stuff from Sheinside arrived last week, although I was taxed by the customs. I can only say that Brazilians have been facing this even more lately, so we need to take care by choosing the cheapest shipping methods and pray hahaha.
