7, 8 of March

            I was going to post a bit more, stuff other than just this weekend but I ended up procrastinating and I'll only post about the weekend in the end. I hope you will like reading, it was a very happy time for me so hopefully you will.

7th March - Friday
Two events took place on friday, my inlaws sent a package full of food again and that arrived which is always a colorful fun event for me and my husband. Mari had fun taking everything out of the box and putting everything inside again and so on...

Later that evening, around 10pm my dear friend fla arrived from Lisbon. She wanted to come over to visit me and my familly and would stay with us for the weekend!

8th March - Saturday
We woke up at decent time i suppose but took our time around the house. We decided we should go have lunch somewhere and everyone got ready.
Me, my husband, Mari, my older brother and fla all got in the car and my husband drove us to the nearby city of Vila Nova de Gaia to go to his favorite restaurant. 

My friend fla brought gifts, yes i know.... what a nice girl! 
She got things for Mari and also made some things for both Mari and myself. <3
She got Mari a set, a H&M red dress with pink dots and she made a matching bear headdress. How cute is that? 
I keep telling her that I adore the floral headbands she makes so she made me one. She made it in red, white and gold. It is huge I wonder if i can pull it off. 
She also made me a bear black headpiece. She did it out of a sort of spike things, as a dare. I shall wear it just for the lolz. :P I wonder if i can pull it off?
I also saw her wearing these tights and i loved them. I told her so and she got me a pair. I had no idea they were from Primark. They look amazing in pictures, everyone should get a pair.  
In the afternoon we had scheduled a Lolita meeting. One of the local girls, Isabel, had scheduled it before fla even knew she'd come over. It sounded like fun but we had other plans so we knew we could only stay for a bit. Still we got dressed and went. We had decided to wear the same dress since we both own Metamorphose temps de fille room print in the white colorway. Of course for fla that means her confort zone: sweet lolita and for me quite the opposite. It's fun thought and i think i pulled it off.

 We ordered one cake and shared. It was ok, i think the presentation is better than taste there but the kitchness of the decor of that place won me over.

We had to leave a bit earlier (aroung 5.30) because we had a classical music thing at 6pm. We got in the car and off we went. Unfortunately that weekend there was a ton of traffic and, in the end, we could  not get there on time. So that means no show and leaving the meeting earlier for nothing! We decided not to let it go to waste and stopped in a nice spot for some shots.








So I guess since we got nice shots I cannot complain but i'm still sad because i wanted to take fla to the show. Oh well....
We both wore the same print (fla wore the op version and I wore the jsk), the same shirt, the same lace socks in different colorways, flat shoes, ankle socks and the exact same bag in different colorways, same accesories etc. I think it was a decent twin experience and it was a lot of fun!

Soon, the next day report. I wonder what we both wore.... :P

I hope you liked the post, i miss her terribly!
Love,
Jo

    1. Uma forma para bolos? Tenho duas de silicone mas sao baixinhas I guess. :P
      My favorite shot is the one where we are in front of the windows, so I guess its one of the mirror shots you are talking about?
      There's just one thing that bothers me in these. Fla's dress looks pure white and mine ivory. o.o

    1. I have twinned once or twice before but twinning the whole time during a weekend? That was a first. I loved it to be honest makes me wanna start getting stuff my friends own so i can do it more... but i'm sure that'd end up being creepy. hehe

    1. Aw thanks Isis, that's really nice of you to say actually. I hope you are happy where you are as well but if you decide to come back to Portugal we'd all be excited about that.
      It was fun! We should have gone out when we twinned to, to take nicer pictures because our twin was pretty accurate, do you remember?

    2. Oh I sure do remember, I still have those pictures, the twin was perfect for me (it was my first and only one until now), and that entire week end was very nice.
      Next time I visit Portugal I hope I can find some time to go on meetings.
      Until then, be happy :)
