I’m b(l)ack with animal print…. and award time……
I really love this sweater!!!
I bought it in a Toronto boutique when we went underground.
I think its assets are in the details and not in the animal print, I love those lace parts and how it looks a cardigan.
Meanwhile the so lovely and talented Katie from Illustration by Katie gave me the Stylish Blogger award!
Thank you so much my dear and I recommend you all to go see the beautiful illustrations she makes and posts on her blog.
Well the award came with some rules, but you know how (pseudo) maverick I am, so I leave them for later…

"Super Comments" award...
Many, many posts ago the sharp, insightful, brave angel and also my dear friend High Heeled Life from Falling Off A High Heeled Life to whom I’m sending all my love, gave me the "Super Comments" award and I feel so privilege that she thought of me for this so cool and gorgeous award.They send you a message when you needed it the most or they give you something or they help you in a way you didn't thought possible... And your burden gets lighter and your smile comes back...
And I'm lucky enough to have her in my life...
And that’s with great pleasure that I pass this award to the blogs of my blogroll, to all of the lovely ladies, gentlemen, girls and boys that take time out, whenever possible to leave me lovely comments, they all deserve my love and my friendship.
Oh, but this came with some rules….. I love rules (when and) so I can break them… I’m a pseudo maverick…
Here are the rules:
•Thank the person who nominated you. (check)
•Post the award in your blog. (check)
•Link to the person who gave it to you. (check)
•Answer 10 questions that come with the award. (below)
•Nominate of few of your favourite bloggers. (with a break but check (lol))
Why do you blog?
I’ve done it as a way of express myself and gain confidence, to express my life philosophy, some of my ideals and thoughts. Besides it was a way of seeing me as if I was someone else, in a different perspective from the one in the mirror, trying to accept myself and also as my blog’s name says, searching the inner me. A small part of me, however, was selfishly hoping for affirmation, seeking validation and engagement with others.
As a person interested in fashion I also chose to speak about it as a part of me since my youth times. So I’ve begun to explain my ideas of daywear, showing myself.
What are your 3 best memories?
Just 3???? I have much more, fortunately!!!
Mother, sister and I, after dinner, singing;
Dad telling jokes;
August 13th, 2005.
If you had to change your real name what would you change it to?
Catarina. (Catherine)
It was the name my mother would like to be named of and it’s a name I like. I was named after my Dad, something that now I value, but I never liked much my real name.
What are five things you can't live without?
Breath;
Eat;
Sleep;
Learn something;
Do something good.
What are the 4 best books you've ever read?
This isn’t fair… It’s so difficult to just choose 4, oh well… in no particular order:
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle;
Follow Your Heart by Susanna Tamaro;
Listen to my voice by Susanna Tamaro;
Unfinished Business by James Van Praagh.
Tell me something unique and interesting about yourself.
I’m unique… there’s no one like me.
As for interesting… I don’t know… I’m not good to judge myself, but maybe my humour…
What do you love best about yourself?
The capacity I have to find solutions in my work for unusual problems.
What is the best movie ever made?
Again not fair… just one (???)
But there’s a movie that touched me much was “What Dreams May Come” with Robin Williams.
It focuses on the sacrifices one man will make for true love. Love that does not end with death.
If you had a "Freaky Friday" experience who would you trade places with and why?
No one… I could like and it would be a problem to come back.
What's the best part about being a Woman?
When we are asked for a dinner date only we know how the night is going to end… ;-)
Have fun all of you!

blogs with a Golden Heart…
But these haven’t been easy days and when we must set priorities, I think that all of you also think like this, real life comes first.
Last weekend I’ve been sick, so blogging wasn’t my cup of tea.
Now, it’s my mother that is sick. As you know she has Alzheimer’s disease, but it’s not of her illness, it’s something that the doctor haven’t find yet and that makes her not breathing without oxygen. It can be many things and I’m very worried.
I also want to thank to O Viajante from Café e Bolos for given me the “Prémio Blog Coração de Ouro” – Golden Heart Blog Award.africanteaparty

I’m going on a trip… and I leave some fabulous love…
Well technically I’m going on vacations, but as I’ve told you before we are also going to take care of some issues.
I’m packing the things and also leaving the house all clean.
I’m planning to stay in touch with you as much as I could, as I’m taking with me my laptop.
So keep coming, because I’ll be back…

A few posts ago, the lovely and talented (yes, she sews!!) Le Tasché gave me this "Your Blog is Fabulous" award, thank you so much my dear – it’s always very gratifying to get an award from a fellow fashion blogger.
And that’s with great pleasure that I pass it to all the blogs of my blogroll, because if they are in it it’s because I love them and they all are Fabulous.

TO - 03/14 - if you are a my blog’s follower come get your award…
The gorgeous and very lovely La Belette Rouge, to whom I’m sending all my love and a shouted “Happy Birthday” (yes, today is her Bday) gave me, some posts ago the “Love Ya Award”.The rules of the “Love Ya Award” are as follows:
“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”
And that’s with great pleasure that I pass it (breaking the rules that say I should nominate 8 blogs – sometimes I’m so (pseudo) maverick) to all my Followers (present or to be), because they all deserve my love and my friendship.

The Rules:
1. Go to the 4th folder in your computer where you store your pictures.
2. Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same!
And the picture is this:
To tell you the true I don’t know why I have this picture saved. Maybe because I liked it… I just know that its title is “The Inner Me”… could it be the reason??
Now I’m tagging: dapper kid, Jesse, Julianne and J'Adore Fashion
I don’t know if you have already done this, if you have it or you don’t like it, feel free not to do it.

TO - 01/13 - I’m saving my Jasmin Noir… and I got awards and a personalized stamp…
"Prêmio Especial - Gracias por estar aki..."
"You're a 'in my heart' blogger!"
"Award for koselig blogg"
Thank you so much my dear, I’ll pass them on.
It says ““The Seeker” illustrious visitor”. Thank you my Captain, it’s an honour.
So if you want to see nice photography go check his blog.
Something sooooooo precious is water, and I think most of the times people think that it’s somewhat unlimited, but maybe we should take more care with it.
Think about it!
Well today I wasn’t very relaxed to take my pictures. Don’t know why, I’m already used to have people staring at me… But at the end I was able to smile.
I don’t know what’s happening with me… maybe I’m putting my standards too high, because I think I’m not talented to make “different” outfits.
Alert!!! Alert!!! Alert!!! Fashion crisis….???
I miss doing a “serious” post…. But I even haven’t started to read a book…
But there are so many interesting things to talk about yet in fashion.
The crisis effects, the new trends for S/S 2009 and also the Pre Fall collections, just to name a few.
Thanks God there’s some bloggers talking about that.
