As you know, Lauren Conrad is one of my fashion inspirations. I love thw way she combine soft colors with neutrals, blacks and nudes and also how she mixes formal style appointments like blazers with jeans and pumps. I think it's an ideal look for everyday, because "Always dress better than you think you should", you won't be embarressed, only if you're too shy or if you don't have self confidence but you know what? You should have. All of us have a special feature, a good thing that make you unique and you should be able to find it.

What's your best feature? What do you LOVE on your personality or on yourself? Tell me about it..

Abbey Lee is becoming an icon to all of us, she's so pretty and have an amazing style. Everything she wears looks great on her, look at her leopard bag, isn't amazing? I'm totally LOVING it (and I'm not a big fan of animal prints). I love everything in her, her angel face, the ocean blue eyes, and the perfect blond hair. She's always perfect, and I'm sure you agree with me..

With all my ♥, Jo

The gray days arrived and the rain too, and there's nothing better than a classic trenchcoat like this one to protect you what I wear some days ago. I really love it, I think it's so classic and I always think about those black and white movies like "singing in the rain" or "Casablanca" and those fabulous trenchcoats.

Today starts Lisbon Fashion Week and it's so exciting. And it seems like Lisbon Fashion Week didn't answer to face hunter e-mails, so unfortunately he can't be here during the shows. That's sad, it coudl be so much fun having him here in Portugal.

I need to thank to all of you for all the readers on my blog, more than 400 followers via google, the facebook readers and also the twitter followers.

Do you want one more reason to add me on twitter? I finally can upload pics via email to twitpic..

Another "what's in.." post requested by you, this time about nail polish. Well, I confess that I bite my nails when I'm too nervous or too anxious, but if I control myself I can have my nails pretty and I love to put some color on them, moreover because my hands are so small, long nails will help them looking better.

About my nail polishes? I have a lot of them, I recently bought that peach one that you can see on the photo number six and that soft blue. They have this crazy color, but I really like them, as you know I LOVE soft colors and I think they look so pretty on your nails, but I need to tell you that it's really rare for me to buy nail polishes, all of them were gifts from my mother or my grandmother. I have more nail polishes, but these are the requested for the post - my fall colors for my nails.

What's next?

Little black dress, white shirt and pumps are must haves pieces, and denim shorts are too. And this vintage shorts are killing me, they're so perfect and fit so well that really make me fall in love with them, and I really liked how she matches the camel and the nudes with the denim, really like it.

Don't forget to HYPE my look on LookBooks.

If someone asked me right now what's my favourite piece of my closet, I would say my denim shirt. Of course I love everything in my closet, my tops, my cozy sweaters, my jeans, my leggins, my skirts, dresses, and so on but the denim shirt is really something that I can easily match, and I must confess that I really love to match it when I'm wearing black or when I'm wearing skirts or dresses. It looks perfect, and with some RayBan sunglasses you will rock it. Totally in love with my shirt and thinking about buying another, what do you think?

Do you have one? I'm thinking about searching into vintage stores, but if you LOVE you're denim shirt, please let me know where did you get it..
