Fuzzcapades

View fullsize

With the holidays almost here, I noticed that I'm basically pushing the boundaries to feel the most like wearing pajamas without actually having to.

From long sweaters to ugly sweaters to sweating in sweaters (because it's not actually that cold), getting cozy in giant, enormous, fuzzy knits that warm your skin and your heart (plus your butt to boot) is literally the most important way to celebrate the arrival of this mild winter in the Northern hemisphere. Well, that and Netflix and actually chilling.

So come along on this fuzzcapade with me and get ready to fuzz up for yourself, too! 

Port: Com as festas de fim de ano quase chegando, a preguiça bate e a vontade de sair por aí de pijama grita. 

A solução? Blusas de lã de todos os tipos: casacos compridos, aquelas blusas breguinhas de Natal, e um pouquinho de suor quando eu esquecer de botar algo mais fresquinho por baixo (porque nem ta tão frio assim). Chegar no nível maximo de aconchego pra esquentar o coração (e a bunda) é sem dúvida nenhuma, a melhor maneira de comemorar o chegada deste inverno bobo do hemisfério norte.

Então partiu ficar cheio de coceira com blusa de lã comigo? Vem, é tão gostooooso...

What's your go-to sweater this season? 

I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC, BABY

Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother, 

Jesus is my bestest friend. 

I don’t need nobody, ‘cause we got each other, 

Or at least I pretend. (Body Electric - Lana Del Rey)

I am totally engrossed in Lana Del Rey today. Her new album Paradise was just released on Spotify and I can’t stop listening to it. The woman is amazing and a HUGE style icon. *swoon* Kind of drawing inspiration from her Blue Velvet H&M video with this chunky sweater. It’s perfect to layer with especially in this weather. It was snowing this morning! :)

BACK TO THE FUTURE

So it’s been quite a long hiatus I’ve taken from the blog. A lot has happened since my last post. Like I said, I went to Brazil for a week in order to visit my grandfather in the hospital. The overnight decision to pick up and just go turned out to be the best thing my family and I ever did. Our beloved Grandpa held out until the very last day we were there. 

I had never had to deal with the loss of a person so close to me, and I guess it was both very saddening but also very enlightening. It’s not a cliche to love. It’s not a cliche to live your life like every day was your last. It is rather, very eye-opening.

So now I’m slowly but surely getting back on behind the wheel of my own routine, kicking a pesky cold, and enjoying as the leaves begin to fall. I’m gearing up for autumn, my favorite season of all, getting rid of the old and embracing the new (wardrobe and attitude. ha!). Change is good. Change is always good.

So, what’s been up with you guys? What’s new? What’s old? What’s changing?
