Sorry, folks, I have disappeared but its because I’ve been a bit down these days. On 18^th was 5 months that my father passed away and its painful. Life goes on, I know, but it just hurts so much… Anyway, as I don’t want to cry on the keyboard again, lets change subject.

Lately I have been browsing a lot of jewellery websites. I confess I love branded stuff, just a shame I’m not rich enough to buy everything I want =PPP

I love CK jewellery. Last time I went to UK I bought 4 rings, and I just didn’t buy more stuff because I ran out of money =PPP Just after xmas, on a sale, I purchased 2 more for less than half price and yesterday on ebay I won a bit of another ring. I also love their necklaces, bracelets, earrings, but my favourite is buying rings. I like the clean style of CK jewellery, you can go anywhere and you never get wrong. I also like pieces made of stainless steel, I think it’s modern and a good option when you cant buy gold jewellery ( I prefer white gold).

I also like Swatch jewellery because of its funny part. Not all of them catch my eyes, because some of their jewellery is too childish. But I loved a colorful effect crystal cluster kind of ring that I even put its image as my wallpaper =PPP

Certainly, a glamorous choice is Swarovski range of jewellery. I saw on their website about 4 rings that I fell in love with. All of them expensive, but breath taking. I still going to get my husband to give atleast 2 of them until the end of this year =))) =PPPP

But nothing takes away the diamond’s place. They are the girls best friend!!!! I have some pieces on sight over here but I’m still crossing fingers to get a good job (or my husband gets a great job too) so I can afford them. But as I’m building up my confidence in thinking positively by reading the book The Secret: I think, I feel, I believe and I get it =))))

And at the moment I’m entertaining myself watching Big Brother, we are on our 8^th edition… we have had better ones, but its always funny you spy once in a while. Its still in the beginning, only one is out already and the second one will be leaving tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to a mall over here called Paço Alfândega. It’s a beautiful Shopping Center, with a breath taking view of the city. I like there, but I don’t go very often because it’s a place with exclusive stores that you don’t find in the other malls and most of them are too expensive =PPPPWell, I visited 2 stores that I like, to see the new collections. I liked some stuffs in the first one, but anything that would make me open my purse to spend lots. The second one, my favourite, I went to see the new collection of a new local designer: Isabel Villanova. I met her there and she is extremely nice =) Her jewellery are very different, she uses inox to make them! So alternative, modern and unusual! Just the way I like! And none of her pieces are exactly the same as the other one, some pieces she just makes one and that’s it, so you can add exclusivity in their collections!

I loved almost everything that was there, just a shame I didn’t have much money to spend. I have 4 pieces of jewellery from her + 1 that my friend left here at home and I can wear whenever I want. The ones I like the most are 2 bracelets that can be worn together of separately. Now the trend around here is wear as many bracelets you can in one arm or wear one bracelet on each arm. I like both ways, I love bracelets! And everytime I wear these, people ask me where did I get from =)

The salesgirl in the store told me recently some people from New York went over and fell in love with Isabel’s work and they are making orders of her pieces to sell over there. I don’t know where but next time I’ll ask the designer herself and leave the tip over there so people from NY go and see her work, because to people who loves jewellery, really worth it!
