Good daily moisturisers with a decent SPF that behave well under makeup are hard to find – so far, I can only really trust Paula’s Choice to fulfil these requirements. Yet, I keep searching for alternatives that are more accessible, both in price and availability.
Where to Shop in Lisbon #1: EmbaiXada Lx
This is a post from the lens of a Lisbon local, with photos and advice from someone who has really been to these places.
Review | Zac Posen Eartha Wristlet Crossbody Bag
I’ve always wanted a Zac Posen bag and last year I clearly was crossing off a lot of my shopping wishlist items.
I wasn’t going for Barbie, but I’m not mad it happened

I’ve been into retro looks. Regardless of the current trends, retro always looks cool.
