I love lipstick because it’s the one thing you need to bright up your face. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the sun shines and the days are longer, there’s nothing easier and more flattering than a high pony tail, big sunglasses and a bright lipstick.
Here you have my favourite Spring lipsticks and a little trick that will make you look gorgeous immediately.
During our beyond fantastic stay at Belavista Hotel & Spa, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at its restaurant Vista, specialised in modern cuisine with traditional regional roots. Let me tell you something: it was fancy!

Today we introduce you our very first Weekend style icon. Every week we will choose someone whose casual style is remarkable. We think casual is what really defines style. It’s quite easy to look fantastic with a designer piece and a pair of sophisticated heels, but there are people that look just perfect with a simple pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Maybe they accessorize it differently, maybe they choose the right colour palette… we don’t know why but they just rock it! Besides, we love casual! Even more at weekends, don’t you? So here you have our first weekend style icon: Spanish model Eugenia Silva.
This is the first time in our lives that we were on vacation and we didn’t want to leave the hotel. We just couldn’t. Everything was so beautiful, calm and inviting that wahtever was outside its doors simply didn’t matter.
Placed in one of the most popular tourist destinations in Algarve, Belavista Hotel & Spa, is without any doubt the best hotel in the region. The hotel overlooks Praia da Rocha, one of the most impressive beaches of the Algarve. Everything here invites to relax and feel happy and pampered without any care in the world. After a terrible Winter and a rainy Spring, we needed sun, cocktails and massages. And that’s what we had!
Today begins the 66th edition of Festival de Cannes! Aren’t you excited??? Yes, I know that in this festival films aren’t the most important features… but Cannes offers divas, new promising stars, Chopard jewels and the unique charm of the French Riviera. What’s not to love?
The Great Gatsby is the opening film, India is the special guest country, Audrey Tatou will host the ceremonies, The Bling Ring by Sofia Coppola will open the Un certain regard section… I insist: What’s not to love?
I’m looking forward to red carpets, glamorous yacht parties, polemics with the juries and oh! films too ;)
PS: Don’t you love the poster?
I saw this exact picture in a magazine a couple of weeks ago and since then I’ve been dreaming about this outfit. That jacket, sigh! The cut, the neutral colours, the belt, those stripes strategically placed to enhance the waist and the shoulders… Perfection!
I normally won’t like such a matchy matchy outfit, but in this case I love how the stripes of the skirt lengthen the silhouette. Whithout being overly girly, the results is no doubt ultra feminine.
It’s quite pricey, though… but it could be a great investment for your working looks, don’t you think? You can buy it here.

I hate nail art. I know it’s something that everyone is loving nowadays, but I hate it. I find it a little bit tacky and for someone like me, who just likes red, pink and coral shades in her nails, it’s just too much.
Even though I’m quite classic when it comes to my nails, in Summer I go a little bit crazier, just like everyone else, and go for brighter shades and I even love a little bit of dark blue on my toes. These are my favourite nail polishes for Summer, if you’d like to see.
There’s nothing better than a fresh baked croissant with a nice cup of coffee to start the day. That’s why I’ve always wanted to prepare my own croissants but it seems so difficult… it’s scary! So when I saw this recipe (with gifs!) I thought I could try…

This is a scheduled post because hopefully when you read this we will be lying on the beach… just like the woman on the picture ;) I always take my favourite pillows to the beach, don’t you?
We wanted to wish you a happy sunny weekend!!! Any nice Spring plans? A picnic maybe? Wherever you are and whoever you are: enjoy the weekend!!!
PS: we are on Twitter!! To be honest I don’t understand how it really works, but I’m doing my best to learn! Do you want to hang out? Look for @theslowpaceblog :)

Do you remeber that last year we spontaneously decided to go to Bruges and it turned out one of the most charming trips we’ve ever made? Well, it looks like May is our unexpected-destinations-and-travels month! As you read this we will be flying to the South of Portugal!!!
Some years ago we used to go every Summer to a music festival in Alentejo (clic) but we’ve never visited Algarve before and we are absolutely excited about it. To be honest, it wasn’t one of our top destinations but it just happened and we are going to make the most of it! Those beaches! Sigh! We’re planning on reading by the swimmingpool, taking long walks on the beach and eating tons of fish and fresh fruits.
We only hope that the cloud that followed us to Mallorca and Paris decides to stay in Germany this time. We’ll see…
Bye bye!!!!
