asked me if I wanted to collaborate with them, I immediately said "YES!" in a heartbeat.

O meu pequeno netbook usado até à exaustão e que me acompanhou para todo o lado nestes últimos 3 anos começou a dar sinais de falha e a pedir o merecido descanso! Para o substituir, graças aos papás e aoboyfriend, veio este líndissimo e fashion Vaio da Sony. Adoro-o! Não só é giro como é super rápido e tem as medidas certas. Claro que na hora de escolher tinha de vir o mais feminino que lá houvesse, ou não fosse eu mulher! ahah Já o anterior era branco e desta vez voltei a não resistir e a ir pelo branco. E agora vejo-vos com outros olhos e escrevo-vos com outra vontade ;) 

Não é lindo?

Wallis Simpson, That Woman

Recently, both me and Eve watched W./E., you know, the film directed by Madonna, that has received quite a few unpleasant reviews (if we're to say the least). The movie tells the story of two women: Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee who became Duchess of Windsor, after marrying Prince Edward (he gave up the throne for her) and Wally Winthrop, a young married New Yorker in 1998 who has a strange obsession for the Duchess. Ok, this was just an introduction, I am not, by any means, going to talk about this second plot, as it was beyond weird and dull. Even the connection between the two stories was incredibly unpolished and there were more than few scenes that did not belong in this movie.

However, as a lover of all things fashion & British, I gravitated towards the diamond-studded and much more interesting royal love story, between Wallis Simpson (portrayed by Andrea Riseborough) and Prince Edward (James D’Arcy). I absolutely loved this half of the movie, even if it was, as the critics said, focused more the visual, shiny, superficial side of things. I think I've said this before, I believe we sometimes need a dose of that in our lives, don't we? And the movie had an effect on me (other than making me constantly dream of those breathtaking dresses and jewels). I want to order this book to find out more things about her, because until now I've only known her from a generally-shared point of view (doubled by the image of her presented in King's Speech), therefore a not very positive one.

I do not intend to bore you with details about Wallis' life (although I might write another article after I read the biography, if you wish), but I am going to share a few photos and details depicting her amazing style. As she described herself: "I'm not a beautiful woman. I'm nothing to look at, so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else." I must confess: as I did the research for this post, not only once did I die and go to fashion heaven.
