In Portugal the Christmas tradition is to open the presents on Christmas Eve at midnight, so, on Christmas Day, when I was deciding what to wear to go to my grandparent's house in the Portuguese countryside, almost 3 hours away by car, I knew it had to be warm and comfortable. I didn't want to give up wearing my new rust midi dress from H&M, so from that I added my sister's Christmas gift to me, the Uniqlo wool jumper, my most comfortable pair of shoes, and also more wool with the vintage scarf and beret. I had to be warm believe me, it is a place where it actually snows in Portugal (as opposed to my hometown) and I was freezing taking these pictures. Both me and my sister were happy to get back close to the fireplace after this photoshoot was over
I just reached 250 followers today, and I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting my corner in this enormous world of the internetz. So thank you! Also, if you've been around here last summer, you may remember this post? It was also at my grandparents. Same place, different season, instead of freezing cold it was sweltering heat. There's Portugal's inland for you.
On and yeah, I saw some guy on the tube with a British Museum tote and on the first occasion I went back there, I didn't rest until I found one for myself. After looking at all the gift shop, I finally found out they were at the till... It is my favourite museum in London, standing side by side with the Natural History Museum (I am a biology lover, too!).

I love the red and gray together!
In the US some families open presents on Christmas Eve too.
What a lovely midi dress (I was about to write skirt but I read the references on time :)
In Greece we tend to open our gifts on new Year's so more or less one week after you- but this year this was a good thing as I could buy really nice gifts over sales ;)
Great pieces and fantastic style. love it.

Adoro como sempre. <3
I really like the length of your dress and the colour against the grey jumper - uni qlo is the best isn't it. Also happy to see another lover of london museums, I think the British museum is in my top 3 with the V&A and the natural history museum.
Oh, how lovely! Your rust midi dress and marled wool jumper are perfect together. You always accessorize so well, too. Love the beret and museum tote :)
Growing up we were always allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve (to quell the anticipation, I suppose! Hehe). I think one of the most magical things about Christmas is all the varying celebrations and traditions - no matter how different they may be, they're all laced with joy.
i love the combination of burgundy with gray...best winter combination!
