Muses Part I...

All my life I have been oh so lucky to be surrounded by gorgeous, powerful women, who have always been an inspiration to me - beautiful women inside and out, with different personalities, who always made me want to be a better person. They all see the world in different colours, but they are the living proof of kindness, friendship, love, loyalty :)

Why Part I? Because today I will show you some of my muses, the rest will follow in future chapters :)

This was a wonderful occasion - the birthday of one of my best friends :) And because she is very very special to us all, we decided to travel to Algarve for her Bday dinner, even if that meant going on a Sunday to get back to Lisbon on Monday morning. She sure deserved that, and let's be honest, we all had a blast, the whole weekend was absolutely great :)

And there we were, eating, drinking, talking, laughing, dancing, just having one of those moments that make you feel blessed :) And I just kept thinking, I must take some photos (better yet, Hubby must take some photos), it was about time I showed you guys where I get my inspiration.

So, just for you dear followers, my muses:

*Jacquie*

Believe it or not, at the time this photo was taken, Jacquie had given birth to the most beautiful baby girl just 3 months before - although you would never tell so by her amazing figure, right? What I love most about her outfit? Her perfect pair of jeans - we all love jeans, but let's face it, it is a bit of a struggle to find a pair of jeans that look just flawless, absolutely perfect in your legs, bum and even tummy :) The green top and the pretty orange sandals added an hint of colour, and completed the whole look :)

*Olga*

Guys, it is my pleasure to introduce to you my beautiful cousin - suffice to say that I love her style, but it is not a style everybody can pull off. Feminine, elegant, laid back, with a hint of boho chic, she always looks spot on! Plus, she has the most gorgeous collection of maxi dresses and little girly dresses. Case in point, this little black dress, perfect for a Summer garden party ;)

*Cláudia, the Birthday Girl*

Or as I see her, my little Beyonce - she is gorgeously curvaceous with a tiny waist, and I love how she embraces her body and shows us her inspiring curves. Her style? Very eclectic, she will wear a body-hugging dress as easily as she would wear a loose shirt with jeans or leggings. Not much of a heels-lover, she is the proof that a woman can look chic and fashionable with flats :) And she loves colour, which is always a big plus on my book ;)

*Cristina*

You remember Cris, from my second post on Street Wisdom - tell me the truth, didn't she look absolutely beautiful? Well, she got engaged the previous night, so you can imagine how excited we all were. On Claudia's Birthday she opted for a beautiful girly colourful dress - she looked effortlessly stylish, and I actually love the fact that she didn't wear any accessories, it was all about the dress and the beautiful engagement ring :)
