NEW YEAR, 9 OUTFITS

dezembro 31, 2015

"Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, our hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweentness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could."

OH OH OH IS CHRISTMAS

Culottes - Zara \\ Top - Zara \\ Shoes - Pull&Bear 

"If I do something I think is new, it will be misunderstood, but if people like it, I will be disapppointed because I haven' pushed them enough. The more people hate it, maybe the newer it is. Because the fundamental human problem is that people afraid of change. The place I am always looking for beacuse in order to keep the businness I need to make a little compromise between my values and customers values-is the place where I make something that could almost but not quite be understood by everyone" - Rei Kawabuko
Estou cansada de ver tanta inveja à minha volta. Eu não entendo qual o objetivo das pessoas que adoram rebaixar as outras. Eu realmente não entendo. Talvez eu seja estúpida  ou ingenua de mais para com os outros e talvez seja por isso que não entendo como as pessoas podem ser assim. 

SPOTTED AT O CACO

A inspiração em figuras que nos rodeiam é muitas vezes inevitável. Quem "consome" blogs, contas de instagram inevitavelmente memoriza ideias que quer replicar. Os diversos cortes do hairstylist Anh Co Tran - link são uma grande inspiração para uma próxima ida ao cabeleireiro.

PERFECT FOR FALL | 221015

outubro 31, 2015

Scarf - HERE \\ Boots - HERE
Sem dúvidas. Foi o que aconteceu com a última ida às compras. Ainda que não seja uma compra a pensar para o tempo incerto é sem dúvida um investimento a pensar na estação fria. No entanto vou usá-lo nem que seja pela manhã cedíssimo já que está um friozinho. Á tarde está uma frisa quente (ás vezes, muito quente) e nessa altura o cachecol salta imediatamente.

MORE BABY BLUE | 211015

outubro 23, 2015

Jeans - HERE \\ Shirt - HERE \\ Shoes - HERE 

I'm back. E com um outfit (yay!). Estes mom jeans foram uma das minha compras favoritas deste mês, elas dão-me pelos menos 10 minutos de mais confiança e sensualidade (não acredito que acabei por escrever isto).

BOOTS OBESSION

outubro 15, 2015

Boots - HERE
Hey guys! Nos meus conjuntos diários no Inverno, se há algo que não vivo é sem dúvida as botas, - em especial os botins - não discriminando qualquer outro tipo de peça de roupa. Sabia que precisava de umas novas botas, de salto médio e com material de boa qualidade ... Depois de duas ou três idas à loja, acabei por trazê-las comigo. E tenho a certeza  que vão ser parte do meu dia-a-dia estes meses.

CULLOTES | YES OR NOT?

outubro 10, 2015


"Cullotes é uma espécie de calção que cobre a maior parte dos glúteos e é um dos trends dos últimos tempos." Apesar de terem sido um dos trends fortes da primavera passada, os cullotes continuarão in voga no próximo outono. A pensar em render me e a usa-los nestes dias frios.

FALL-ISH TO WEAR

outubro 03, 2015


Time for a real fall-ish wish to wear post. With the "cold days" comming there are some the itens I want! I really missed feeling the cold breeze on my face, the warm drinks like hot chocolate, staying in bed under your sheets, wearing long big scarves. Oh, and the coats! Now that the cold comming there I can finally wear some of my favourite pieces for these cold days. You already have your fall whislist?

Hi there! I'm back from vacations yesterday and will back to school tomorrow, yet halfway gas and very little desire to get a foot out of bed, especially of temperatures that are felt.

JULY YOUNG WHISHLIST | PERSONAL

julho 21, 2015

 My life has been pretty much occupied by my new part-time. All shopping I did recently was done at Pull&Bear and there wasn’t that much time left for treating myself - I kind of feel like I deserved to get a present (or two?). If you’re like me at all or have a celebration coming up, here is something you might like as well!


THE USUAL | 150710

julho 14, 2015

Este post podia chamar - se preto + azul escuro, branco + azul, podia chamar - se essências, podia chamar - se uniforme. Umas calças de cintura - alta (que já não consigo largar), uma t - shirt e as alpergatas (para lá de confortáveis), têm sido as primeiras escolhas quando não há imaginação que me valha para poder inventar muito quando saio de casa, só quero estar confortável para poder chegar no final dia.

FAVOURITES ON SALES | PERSONAL

julho 03, 2015

Sales season can be quiet chaotic if you don't stick to what you love and really need or have been craving for a long time. Honestly, I have love\hate relationship with sales season. I love that sometimes I can find those  old collection loves for a very cheap price but hate the mess on the stores! Anyway, these are some of the things I bought recently. I've been craving for a while and basics that can be styled "over and over again". And that's why I love basics! I've been searching for that perfect espadrilles and Pull&Bear nailed it again.. I could sleep with them! (the perfect summer flats). A pair of with black jeans (a girl cannot have enought black jeans, right?). The Daniel Wellington watch can't wait to arrive. Aren't they cool? What do you think of my bought?


MUSICALLY

junho 22, 2015


James Bay

Music is such a huge part of my everyday routine. It's nice to just tune out and listen to inspirational songs that get you going. Favourites are James Bay, Daughter, Mumford & Sons, and Kodaline, to name a few. And when I'm reading on the bus I listen to relaxing beach or rain or bird noises so that I can focus.

PS. and if you don't use bloglovin, I would really suggest it to everyone. It´s the easiest way to follow all the blogs you read, and is the first thing  I do in the morning, and before I go to bed. And the you can follow OH, CAROLINA here

Hey! So today I thought I would post something diferente and show what is diffesing rent around here. Let's start off with the layout itseft, the whole appearance of the blog is diferent.

JEANS - HERE | SKIRT - HERE | ADIDAS STAN SMITH - HERE 
Hello gurls! Long time no post! I can finally say that my high school days are over! I honestly thought, this year no have to final exams, would leave me with a weight off of my shoulders, but the empty feeling of not having anything to do and realisation that I have to physically find a part time this summer. However, an obvious plus point in this is that I finally have time to get some consistant
stuff out on this which hopefull can be a good thing.
Luckily, there was enough time to shot my outfit out, and after a lot of opportunites, finally a chance to show off my favourite new Adidas Stan Smith. This sneakers have been on my wishlist for way too long and there finally mine!
 I hope you are having a lovely weekend!

maio 13, 2015

   SKIRT - HERE | JEANS - HERE | BAG - HERE
So this is my first outfit post. I was kind of nervous because even though I follow and I've seen so much fashion blogs. One thing is looking at a fashion blogger's outfit post and another total different thing is actually being you on the other side and being the one who is exposed and will be seen.

OH, CAROLINA!

abril 28, 2015



Oh, Carolina! é uma canção de 1958 composta por John Folkes gravada pelos irmãos The Folkes em 1960 e em 1993 por Shaggy. A ideia do titulo para o blog, na verdade, não está relacionado com John Folkes ou Shaggy. É mais um blog de estilo de vida criado pela Carolina Francisco (ohh, é o nome da música) que mistura moda, fotografia, viajar, música, tudo num único universo. É mais que um estilo de vida ideal, onde as coisas simples parecem limpas, minimalismo branco e preto predominante.


O que é o minimalismo? Se eu tivesse que dizer numa única frase, diria. Minimalismo é uma ferramenta utilizada para nos livrar do excesso de vida em favor de nos concentrar no que é importante para que nós possamos encontrar a felicidade, a realização e a liberdade. 

Minimalismo é uma ferramenta que pode ajudá-lo a encontrar a liberdade. Ausencia do medo. Liberdade da preocupação. Liberdade de oprimir. Liberdade de culpa. Liberdade de depressão. Liberdade das armadilhas da cultura do consumo que nós construimos nas nossas vidas ao redor. Verdadeira Liberdade.

---

Oh, Carolina! is a 1958 song by John Folkes recorded by The Folkes Brother in 1960 and by Shaggy in 1993. The ideia of this blog title, actually, has nothing related with John FolKes or Shaggy. It's more a lifestyle blog created by Carolina (ohh, It's name of the song) that mixes fashion, photography, travelling, music all into one single universe. Wherein, it's more like an ideal lifestyle where things simple, looks clean, white minimalism and black predominate.

What is minimalism? If I had to sum it up in a single sentence, we would say. Minimalism is a tool used to rid yourself of life's excess in favor of focusing on what's important so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.

Minimalism is a tool that can assist you in finding freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from worry. Freedom from overwhelm. Freedom from guilt. Freedom from depression. Freedom from the trappings of the consumer culture we've built our lives around. Real freedom.
