Deadly outfit 9 - Ressurecting old boots!

Hey peepzies!

Today I bring you just an outfit, nothing major. A while ago, I decided to resurrect some DANGEROUS boots I have, by demonia, with HIGH platforms. I used to wear them loads before, but managed to almost kill myself wearing them once. I was on my way to descend the stairs of the São Sebastião metro, when I lost balance and almost fell through the whole flight of stairs. I kid you not, it is a BIG staircase and I saw life flashing before my eyes. That's when I decided to put them aside for a while, cause sure, they are wonderful and I love them, but sure as hell not worth risking my life for. Almost 2 years later, I found them buried deep in my closet and tried them on. They gave me an instant self-esteem boost! I felt really good in them, comfortable, tall and beautiful (for those who don't know, I think tall girls curvy girl are the sexiest thing ever, and I wish I was tall!). So I used them, cautiously, on an outing to Sintra. All went moderately well, and I only feel off balance a couple of times. Feeling ever so brave, I decided to wear them to uni today, since I had a car ride and all, and wasn't even supposed to go on public transportation. Now, today was stressful, with many things to do and emotions, but I shall not talk about that. I had to rush back and forth in them, and I even walked on muddy grass, and although I was a bit wobbly, all went well. The day went along, and I felt triumphal. Was I going to conquer zee tall boots? When I was walking with some friends on the way to meet my ride, emotionally talking about politics and Portuguese street protests, I feel off balance. It was only for a second, but I knew I was going down. I managed to hold on to one of my friends shoulders, and didn't fell, but somehow twisted the boot and completely tore the thing apart. I can't even explain. The sole was almost falling, crooked, and it looked ridiculous. Now everybody looks at those boots as is (because they are so tall and in your face) can you imagine the looks I got, as I limped across Lisbon, with a 10 cm platform almost falling from my boot? I´m ever so graceful. Fortunately, I think I can glue them and fix them, but I think i might need to take a cane when I´m out wearing them. THE BOOTS SHALL BE BACK!

Complete useless and random rant aside, here's the outfit, before it all happened!

 I´m not sure you can see how high they are, but they make me like 10/15 cms taller!

With yee old and faithful coat:

I looked like this o.O on the photo, so I decided to give myself a pair of pimp shades and look like a badass mofo

Outfit rundown:

Collar - Online trade
Blouse - 0,50 cents on feira da ladra
Boots - Demonia (second hand)

Hope you enjoyed my tragic goth tale and outfit! ahah

Bits and bobs

This is a lazy post, where I kinda just show you random bits and pieces of my life lately (which hasn't been that exciting at all :P). Come and have a wander!

This blog needs more pictures of my dogs!!


Such a clean and tidy desk, ain't?


SHE WEARING A SWEATER, AWWW! She's a tiny tiny chihuahua, and she gets really cold, so we had to buy her something to keep her warm and make her gay-er. We have a strict only gay dogs policy in this house, so we have 2 chihuahuas, 2 yorkies and a Yorchi! ahaha

My staple cats shoes

Cosy lay in, on facebook and youtube

Sunset in Bairro Alto

Late afternoon in Feira da Ladra (amazing Lisbon flea market)

My german class notebook, decorated with stickers from 2 days eating bolicaos with Marco! (I think I had about 5, and he had about 15! lol)

And another german class! This time we decided to make it in proper style, and totally occupied one of my University rooms!



Boring life, sed life!

Over and outttttttttt!

Deadly oufit 8 - A dog and a German class

Hey my lovelies!

Yesterday was a rather nice day (a day for a glorious weeeeedding - ahaha this song IMMEDIATELY popped to my head!! Corpse bride gallore!). I woke up late, barely had time to get dressed and put makeup on (only did my eyes) and headed to the yee old capital, to have my very first german class at the cinemateca (told you i was mad about that place!). My father gave me a ride, since he was going to the hospital, and while he went to his appointment, I stayed in the car and pestered one of my dogs with pictures (Did I ever tell you about my personal zoo? Five dogs, one cat, a fish, a turtle, and seven birds, lol) as follows:

He doesn't seem too pleased about it

But I pet him and suddently he's all happy again:P


Preshy preshy, as bunny would say!

Then, it was time to head out for class, lol. I met with some friends, one of whom was to be the professor and we started the shenanigans. It was actually really helpful, and I learnt a great deal of useful stuff in just one class! I´m looking forward for the next one!




Did I tell you I´m about to head out for austria for 6 months? Yours truly has earnt a scholarship to intern in the filmarchiv Austria ( weee) and I´m moving there on January (so expect lots of confused portuguese girl in Vienna posts, starting in January!)

And now for the outfit itself:

My face, nothing fancy. No foundation or anything, I only did my eyes and dabbed a bit of lipgloss on my lips!


Horrible face, so you get a nice little bat instead ;)
Coat on (that coat has lived with me for 11 years, I bought it when I was 15 for my uncle's wedding. IT STILL LIVES AND IS A FAITHFUL COMPANION!)

Coat off (can you tell I love my hearts knit jumper?)

Hat - Thrifted for, listen carefully, 35 CENTS! (It was 3 for one euro on hats!)
Jumper - Bought online, originally from Zara
Petticoat - Tally wally or wtv that fucking shop is called
Necklace - Street Market on Algarve
Boots - Second hand shop for two euros

(So happy with my thrifty buys, I shall haul them here soon!)

Over and out :D
