En: And
behold, the Fashion world meets the Ballet Universe! The pret-a -porter brands have
already presented a huge selection of items that meet this “new” trend! Personally,
it's something that I really love… It´s so magic and feminine! Here are some
ideas to explore the theme “Ballet”.
En: Jane Birkin, actress and British singer, Serge Gainsbourg´s soul mate, launched the Praia basket in the 70s. At that time the basket used by Birkin was made in Portugal and they were inseparable. This Summer, one of the latest trends goes back to Birkin’s basket. Little Doe is a fashion website, and they are selling similar baskets, but the price is astronomical ... $ 350 ! If we go to a local fair, I think we would find one for € 15. If you prefer a more versatile and fashionable version, but that keeps all the traditional side of the basket, go to Toino Abel and fall in love by their lovely and romantic baskets.

Pt: Vem aà uma vaga
de calor… O Verão tardou, mas veio em força! Deixo-vos algumas sugestões para enfrentarem
estes dias de calor, com muito estilo.
En: The
temperatures in Portugal are rising! It was a difficult start, but the Summer
is here, full of power. Here are some suggestions to face the hot temperatures
with great style!
En: Bodysuits are again in
fashion and brands of prêt-à -porter have launched this trend in their collections.
There are some precautions to take, as it does not favour all types of bodies. Personally,
I think it goes well with a skirt or with a very high waisted pants or jeans,
or under a blazer. There are even those who are using bathing suits as
bodysuits , but I do not really like this idea ;) Here are some suggestions.
En: Aira is a new
Portuguese fashion brand, which takes advantage of tradition combined with the
most current trends. All parts are made by seamstresses from
Cabanas de Viriato (Viseu), with the possibility of each piece may undergo
slight changes depending on the taste of each client and the availability /
viability. The Hope collection features romantic proposals, with a kind
of exaltation of the free and unpretentious spirit that the country atmospheres
offers. Get to know Aira and fall in love by this Portuguese brand!
En: In
summer, and to start the day full of vitamins and energy, I usually make fruit
smoothies. The recipe is very simple… You only need to mix 3 types of fruit in
a food processor (I use the Thermomix) and grind the mixture at maximum speed.
I always add a little bit of still fresh water or ice cubes. Sometimes,
substitute water for tea / infusion (made on the day before). I leave you with
some pictures of my favorite smoothies. In my instagram (@raquelbrandaoloureiro) you can find the recipes.
