Ligne Roset @ Rue du Bac.

Ligne Roset has the stylish sofas I've ever seen. They're comfy for sure, but what I really love about them is the personality they emanate, like a french woman riding a bike along the Seine.

Here's my selection form the Rue du Bac main shop, where trendy people mingle and design is written all over the place.

Romantic Weekend.

Nothing better than a cosy sofa in a romantic environment to charge the needed energy for the week ahead.

Grey on an earthy background makes always a statement. Crochet detail, don't forget it.

Røst | Bergen #1.

If I have to define Scandinavian design I would probably call it "Quite".

The lines and colours always hand in hand with the Mother Nature feeling make everything very peaceful and cosy, don't you think?

Røst,a shop in Bergen, has an amazing amalgam of brands which I would love to take them all back with me to Portugal. Maybe one day, who knows?

Grocery Shop | Sunday Moning.

I like to shop my groceries on a Sunday morning. Something that I do for many years.
Get up early, jeans and a white T-shirt, and I'm ready to go.

On my list:
- Fresh veggies for my soups
- Fresh eggs for my sandwiches
- Fresh strawberries and oranges for my smoothies (and cocktails)
- Fresh fish for my dinner
- Homemade bread for my breakfast
- Homemade fresh cheese for my afternoon snacks
- Homemade cookies for my friends

Shop @ Shad Thames, London.

Mandarin Hotel | Shopping in Barcelona.

Personal Shopping is the next step.

Windows Display

Loewe

It could be Neo-Art Deco, couldn't it?

GOLD is the colour for success

Tokyo #6 | Prada.

Tokyo #4 | The Power Of Display.

Display - The eyes eat too. Indeed! Another place I get lost very easily is food markets and Japanese people definitely know display is a very important sales tool.

Check these out and tell me if you wouldn't buy just for the beauty of it.

And now, the power of wrapping. 

White Xmas @ Selfridges.

Selfridges has the most astonishing windows in the world. True stories are told, imagined and wanted.

This Xmas I will indeed miss Selfridges windows. 

Here's a space to dream for.

The art of merchandising. 

Love For Storytelling.

Visual Merchandising. For others Windows Design. For me Fragment of Stories. Well, they are all the same, aren't they?
Windows are the business card of any shop. They invite you to come in, to spend money but above all they make you dream as if you're in a tale. I can spend days admiring these galleries of art.

The following ones are the best windows I've seen during 2010.

Windows from Lisbon, London and New York.

Once Upon A Time.

There's always a tale in Hermès' windows design.

This one is precious. The imaginary princess and prince, somewhere in an Autumn day... Beautiful.

Spell It Out, If You Must.

Windows are those little spaces where dreams start, specially when it comes to fashion.

Selfridges windows display is indeed one of the best in London. Always simple yet right straight to the point. The other day, quite late though, I passed by and couldn't resist to snap a few shots.

Get inspired. Start dreaming and spell it out loud. Sometimes is the only way to be heard.
