It's Christmas time in Vienna

HELLO THERE! I HOPE YOU GUYS HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS.

THIS CHRISTMAS WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.

WE WENT TO THE LOVELY CITY OF VIENNA. ALSO COLD AND WINDY.

WHICH RESULTED IN ME BEING VERY SICK AND LOSE 2 DAYS OF THE TRIP.

WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO SEE THE CITY FOR 2 DAYS AND THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM THE 1ST DAY.

NEVERTHELESS WHAT I SAW WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS CITY. 

I DEFINITELY WANT TO COME BACK SOMEDAY. MAYBE SPRING TIME. ;)

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PHOTOS? SOON I WILL PUBLISH THE PHOTOS FROM THE 2ND DAY.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST... HOW WAS YOUR CHRISTMAS?

xoxoxo

CURLS & COLOR

HELLO THERE...

RITA IS NOT NEW TO MY BLOG. SHE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE... LONG TIME AGO WHEN THE TITLE WAS BLOGGERS IN THE MORNING AND WE DID THIS VIDEO TOGETHER. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN... I REALLY MISS HOW FUN IT WAS TO MAKE THIS VIDEOS WITH THESE LOVELY BLOGGERS.

ANYWAY, RITA IS ALSO LIVING IN LONDON AND SHE NEEDED SOME PICTURES TAKEN FOR AN INTERESTING PERSONAL PROJECT SHE HAS. THIS IS THE RESULT AND I LIKED IT SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU GUYS.

FIRST OF ALL, THE LOCATION WAS RITA'S IDEIA AND DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT? IT'S IN SUGERHOUSE STUDIOS IN EAST LONDON. 

SECOND, THE LIGHT WAS SO GOOD... IT WAS A VERY COLD MORNING, BUT IT WAS ALSO SUNNY WHICH WAS LOVELY!

I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE THE PHOTOS AND PLEASE CHECK OUT RITA'S AND DENISE'S (ALSO A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE) BLOG - 

CURLY ESSENCE.

HAVE A CURLY DAY! ;)

I'M STILL HERE

YEP! I KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY ABSENT... BUT I'M STILL HERE. I PROMISE.

 IT HASN'T BEEN EASY. TRYING TO HAVE A LOVE LIFE, SOCIAL LIFE AND WORKING LIFE CONSUMES A BIG AMOUNT OF TIME.

SO MY CREATIVE LIFE, MY ARTISTIC SIDE... WAS LEFT BEHIND. THE SAME HAPPENED TO MY HEALTHY LIFE... =X

SO NO MORE WHINING... I HAVE TO BE STRONG AND START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THE GOALS:

+ TAKE MORE PICTURES

+ EXERCISE! I REALLY NEED TO EXERCISE.

+ EAT HEALTHY

+ PLAN THE PHOTOSHOOTS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PLAN AND EXECUTE.

+ TRAVEL MORE

I REALLY NEED TO FOCUS AND TRY MY BEST.

WISH ME GOOD LUCK!

THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN YESTERDAY. WE WENT TO HAVE A LOOK AT SOMERSET HOUSE... 

LOOKS LOVELY WITH ALL THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS AND YOU REALLY GET IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT. 

THERE IS A VERY COOL PHOTOGRAPHY EXPOSITION ON THE EAST WING GALLERIES CALLED 

CHRIS STEIN/NEGATIVE: ME, BLONDIE AND THE ADVENT OF PUNK. FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN LONDON... 

I RECOMMEND. SEE YOU SOON!

GIRL WITH A DREAM

ASHLEIGH IS ONE OF MY HOUSEMATES.

AND SHE DREAMS OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL SINGER.

WITH HER POWERFUL VOICE, LOVELY EYES AND WARM HEART I KNOW SHE WILL GO FAR.

SEE HER SINGING ON HER YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

ENJOY!

BACK HOME

Hey everyone!

I am back in London from my holiday 

and I thought it would be nice to share with you some pictures 

of the amazing moments I spent in my sweet, sweet Portugal.

First I stayed in Cascais, my home. Then went to meet my boyfriend in the north,

 first Caramulo and then Porto.

I had a lovely time!

KEW GARDENS

Last week I went to the amazing and gorgeous Kew Gardens.

Very sad we did not have time to see everything... but I will definitely come back.

Tomorrow I fly back home for 2 weeks... I'm so happy to see my family and friends again!

See you soon!

SEASIDE

Finally got a day off with my boy.

We spend the day in Brighton... it was nice to see the sea again. 

The weather was grey and it rained a little... but we could still enjoy it.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Have a lovely weekend!

INSTAPOLOGY

A thousand apologies for my looong absence. It has been a shaky month.

I started exercising again, got sick, got better, lost someone close, got sad, got a break, went to a festival and got back to work again.

If you remember my last post, I was doing a photoshoot with a cool bearded boy... but he left London and unfortunately we did not get the chance to do it. Hopefully when he visits the city again. That was also a no-no for this month... oh well.

Hopefully this week I am going to have the video from the festival to show you guys. 

Yey! Something that is not instagram or moodboards for a change. Hihihi.

SO LONG SWEET STRANGER

I've been very absent... lots of work and little time #londonlifestyle

Tomorrow one of my housemates is leaving. Going back home to Italy.

I'm so glad to have met him... such an amazing person. Sweet sweet guy!

Today I caught him reading a book in our garden. 

Trying to forget the sadness of leaving he said. 

He is going to be missed... but I prefer to say: 

So long, farewell, I will see you soon!

MORNING GATHERING AT THE MUSEUM

Lovely morning with great friends who came to visit London.

The Natural History Museum is very big for one morning...

I will definitely come back to see more.

MONIKA PASTWA

 I guess you will recognize this post... 

Unfortunately on the previous post the girl I promoted was a pretender.

She stole Monika's pictures and basically she is (still doing it) telling everybody that the photos are hers and she's asking blogs to promote her.

So please be aware that this page is a squam and Catalina Matei is not the autor of these pictures.

The real autor is Monika and I am very glad her friend contacted me about this.

Click here to see Monika's page. She's the real thing and her work is just amazing.

ROOM INSPITATION

Hello everyone! Sorry the lack of photos by me... 

It's been difficult to find time and inspiration to photograph.

(Not going to let it be forever... I promise.)

My room (and my boyfriend's) is not complete yet.

So I've been searching for some inspiration on tumblr to get ideias. 

What do you think?

ARTISTIC DAY

Today I'm off from work... so I took a morning walk around St. Paul's Catedral

and then went to Tate Modern to see some great modern and contemporary art for free.

My first weeks of work went well... I learned really fast and I'm exited with the future.

Take a look at the pictures I took today. See you soon!  

MARINE MUSE

Saw this girl in the french movie Jeune et Joile the other day.

It's my recent girl crush. Her name is Marine Vacth.

She breaths beauty and grace... just looks amazing on camera.

PORTOBELLO&BRICK

Yesterday I took a stroll along the beautiful area of Notting Hill and Portobello Road.

The weather was great... I dare to say it was sunny and warm.

Then after lunch we went to Brick Lane... and wow. Amazing street art that never ends!

Hope you enjoy the pics. :)
