CLIP OF THE WEEK: Christmas Shopping

                  

Clip special edition wishlist #5 Music 

 Frank Sinatra and Marylin Monroe 1954

 

Music - Like love trough your veins: the invisible chemist that stirs all inner madness into beats, takes over your body, plays with your mind, releases fears, fears nothing. Fuels bliss and takes part in every inch of your existence: your memories, emotions, thoughts, doubts, the same that steals tears and rescues your laughter back. Like love to your heart you may choose to soak it all, play along, be bother, fall, fight, misinterpret words but you can never ignore it. Because living without love is not living and  love without music never worked.

                                      CLIP special edition wish list: #2 Unique Cameras

A camera...the one that transforms strangers into tourists in other people's world, travellers who go from unknown to a welcome visitor in an instant of a click and by the ilustration of its single print, disposed to everyone's eyes and interpreted only by a few. I call them fastfullovers, the ones who take their cameras with them everywhere, who are fast to love a moment, a shadow, a corner, and full on capturing it as if trying to hold on to a memory beyond its real time. To me it is still one of the greatest human inventions, a fascinating present, an addictive accessory that is more than an object, it has the ability to reflect someone's own way of living. My CLIP Special edition wish list #2 goes to unique cameras: Poloroid and Lomography. Whether you want to portray your family gathering this christmas in a diferent style, capture your holidays, design a photo album for yourself or as a gift, below are some suggestions on what's new and what remains excellent at the fastfullover's universe.

                                   CLIP Special Edition wish list: #1 A Vida Portuguesa Shop

Happy Monday! And Welcome to the official start of the 1 month countdown until Christmas season begins (I can't believe it myself) but as we all start thinking, planning and panicking about it, I have prepared a list of suggestions for us to start Clipping. This week is all about presents: where, what and who to shop for. Pen and paperclip in hands! My very first pick goes to A Vida Portuguesa Shop. One of my all time favorite shops: clever, chic and cool taken to another level where tradition sets the rules proving us that indeed "fashions fades but style is eternal".  Think the best quality Portuguese historical products from gourmet, to toys, jewellery or soaps revamped and now featured in all major international publications. If you are in Lisbon or Oporto, I strongly suggest you visit  A Vida Portuguesa. If you are somewhere else, not to worry, you can buy online. Below a few of my suggestions for "BOX" presents (ranging from 20-50 Euros).
