The (sometimes not so) Absolutely Fabulous days of a fashion conscious (but not victim), caffeine addicted hard working young lawyer who values real friendship, the simple happiness behind everyday things, girltalk, shopping marathons, power gadgets, self-help books, all kinds of magazines, girlpower moments in her couch watching SATC (the movie) compulsively and silly internet surfing, always looking for the latests trends...

It only snows in Portugal like one day every 10 years and today it was that day! We had come to Geres, a mountain in the north with friends and when we woke up there was snow everywhere!  :) I just loooooooved it! Now we have to stay here because the roads are all closed... It's time to relax and enjoy the snow! :)

My Dear Onsugar Friends,

2009 has been a really busy year for me... It was a year full of surprises and a lot changed in my personal and professional life...

I found someone really special who makes me happy all the time like I never had felt before. He has moved in with me and now we have the nicest family with sweet baby Charlotte, my fluffy Pomeranian...

Meanwhile I changed jobs and my daily routine changed dramatically too... I always feel like I'm running for something these days... and with all that I had to stop blogging for a while... :(

However, in 2010 I'm back in town and  I will do my best to update this blog at least weekly because the truth is I really miss you my onsugar friends!

Happy blogging for you all in 2010 and thank you so much for stopping by!!!

SATC is the answer to all the questions!!!

By Juca · March 3, 2009 · 1 Comment · 68 Views

 

Can a single movie be the answer to all the questions?  

Back in 1998, I heard Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail" say that "The Godfather" was the answer to any question.

In his words: "The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I take on my vacation? Leave the gun, take the cannoli. What day is it? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday..."

Although I loooooove "The Godfather", I have to say that if there is a single movie that contains the answer to all the questions in life or, at least, to the most important ones, that movie is "Sex and The City" (2008).

As many of you out there already know, I'm like addicted to this movie. 

I assume I can't stop watching it over and over for the little pieces of wisdom like the ones below: 

About the importance of Fashion:

"Every spring, the women of New York leave the foolish choices of their past behind and look forward to the future.This is known as Fashion Week (Carrie)

About the relationship between Fashion and Love:

"Turns out, a knockoff is not as easy to spot when it comes to love" (Carrie)

About the relationship between Love and Real Estate:

"Finding the perfect apartment in New York City... is like finding the perfect partner. It can take years" (Carrie)

About Marriage:

"I don't really believe in marriage. Now, Botox, on the other hand, that works every time" (Samantha to Carrie)

"You two are crazy to get married. Marriage ruins everything" (Miranda to Big)

About the value of Friendship:

"I know it's tradition at the rehearsal dinner for the maid of honor to reveal embarrassing things about the bride… but in our group, we never kiss and tell"(Samantha)

About relationships:

" It's like you're always criticizing me!" (Miranda to Steve) "You wanna go through life with foam on your lip and no one ever telling you?" (Steve to Miranda)

"Bad guys do bad things. - And good guys do bad things" (Miranda) "The good guys screw you and the bad guys screw you" (Samantha).

After a couple of days away I'm back in town to comment on the Oscars 2009 AbFAB (or not) oufits!

My favourite outfit was Angelina's heart shapped long black dress. Although with Brad on her side, she could have worn anything and would still be looking great!!!

Appart from that I really liked Sarah Jessica Parker's dream gown.

I just couldn't understand what's whith the Mermaid-look-gowns...

What's this??? Desert??? What do you think???

Mermaid look??? There were many many other Mermaid dresses...

My question is: Do you like it?
