Mensagem de Natal do blog Marisa´s Closet
Christmas message from Marisa's Closet blog
There may be many reasons for this pattern of behaviour: power, pleasure, fear, malice, hatred, etc. But why do we follow behaviours that even seem wrong to us? Why does our conscience remain silent when this pattern of behaviour is imposed on us? Why don't we look inside ourselves when we judge others?
In the Holocaust, the unthinkable happened: ordinary people adopted despicable behaviour and became murderous butchers. They were ordinary people with ordinary faces who killed and tortured for no reason, just because someone told them they were a superior race. This year, we witnessed something similar perpetrated by people who carry the memory of genocide in their DNA. This Christmas, I pray for lasting peace and that the world will not remain silent and look the other way!
Mutatis Mutandis!
Obrigada a todos!
Perhaps that is what we need most today: the courage not to raise our arms, not to repeat the gesture, not to follow the herd without questioning and above all to DENOUNCE. Finally, to use our heads—and our hearts💖!
Mutatis Mutandis!
Thank you, everyone!
This Christmas message needs a soundtrack, so I chose the song “Bella Ciao” from the fantastic series La Casa de Papel. This song is a symbol of resistance, freedom, and hope! A universal anthem, the LIE WILL NOT PREVAIL... anymore!

Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Hoje, apresento-vos mais 5 looks que pretendem ser looks para usar na noite de passagem de ano! A cor escolhida é o branco. Inspirei-me nos looks das brasileiras que usam e abusam desta cor nesta noite de festa. E porquê? Por influência das religiões afro-brasileiras, esta cor simboliza a paz, pureza, renovação e a inocência e, mais ainda, a conexão com o divino. Como no Brasil é a época alta de calor, tive que fazer uma adaptação aos looks, pois em Poirtugal, na passagem do ano, é a época mais fria do ano, obviamente que os looks que apresento em branco são looks de Inverno e não looks de praia, claro! Espero que gostem tanto quanto eu!
Hello! Welcome to another fabulous post from Looks of the Week! Today, I present you with five more looks that are intended to be worn on New Year's Eve! The chosen colour is white. I was inspired by the looks of Brazilian women who wear and abuse this colour on this festive night. And why? Due to the influence of Afro-Brazilian religions, this colour symbolises peace, purity, renewal and innocence and, even more so, the connection with the divine. As it is the height of summer in Brazil, I had to adapt the looks, because in Portugal, New Year's Eve is the coldest time of the year, so obviously the white looks I present are winter looks and not beach looks, of course! I hope you like them as much as I do!
SEGUNDA / MONDAY
TERÇA / TUESDAY
This look could well be dedicated to Imenjá, Queen of the Seas. Wearing white is a Brazilian tradition that reveals a desire for peace and renewal! You should offer flowers and jump over seven waves. Well, the latter is not possible, as the sea water in Portugal is freezing at this time of year. But my goal is to thank Imenjá for making me see what has been hidden for many years.

Olá! Bem-vindos, meus caros amigos e leitores! Está cada vez mais na moda passar o Natal num hotel, é claro que num país como Portugal, esta realidade é acessível apenas a algumas carteiras, são sobretudo os estrangeiros que procuram os hotéis mais caros. Mas poder de compra à parte, para aqueles que tudo fazem para passar férias fora de casa, num ambiente glamoroso e acolhedor, este post é para vocês!
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers! It is becoming increasingly fashionable to spend Christmas in a hotel. Of course, in a country like Portugal, this is only affordable for those with deep pockets, and it is mainly foreigners who seek out the most expensive hotels. But purchasing power aside, for those who do everything they can to spend their holidays away from home, in a glamorous and welcoming environment, this post is for you!
As it is winter, beautiful outdoor swimming pools are no longer practical, except for taking some nice Instagram-worthy photos. Ensure that the hotel has a heated indoor swimming pool and spa, so that you can enjoy unforgettable family activities!
By the way, as an aside, I'll tell you how I learned to swim. It wasn't in a pool, it was in the sea! When I was a child, we used to go on holiday to the beach, and I was completely crazy about the sea. As I spent more time in the water than out of it, I ended up learning to swim on my own! I admit that my relationship with the sea was a little irresponsible. And that meant that when I was older, I didn't take my nephews to the beach for fear that they would be like me and I was afraid that something might go wrong! I only took them to swimming pools or river beaches! Oh yes!

Currently, my relationship with the sea is purely contemplative! I can't even get my feet wet! A few years ago, I did water aerobics, but nowadays, not even that. Just the thought of going into a changing room gives me the creeps, let alone getting into a pool! Perhaps it's due to my health! Or my age, which is getting on a bit lol!
Mas voltando ao tema de post, que só para vos lembrar, é o tema das férias de Natal num hotel! Aconselho-vos a que tirem partido de todas as valências que o hotel oferece e façam das vossas férias as melhores de sempre. Uma última nota, sejam simpáticos para o staff do hotel. Lembrem-se que eles estão a trabalhar numa época festiva da família e estão lá para vos proporcionar o melhor tempo das vossas vidas! Para terminar, desejo-vos umas férias inesquecíveis! Podem ser as últimas...
But back to the topic of this post, which, just to remind you, is Christmas holidays in a hotel! I advise you to take advantage of everything the hotel has to offer and make your holidays the best ever. One last note: be nice to the hotel staff. Remember that they are working during a festive family season and are there to give you the best time of your lives! By the way, I wish you an unforgettable holiday! They may be the last ones...

Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Neste post, apresento-vos 5 looks de Natal, mas com uma característica especial e comum a todos! O styling destes looks é feito com peças de vestuário que tenho no meu guarda roupa. Ou seja, eu não precisei de ter comprado nada novo para apresentar nestes looks de inspiração natalícia. Não são aqueles looks que olhamos e dizemos: "Opá este look só dá para vestir no Natal". Não, são looks que podem ser vestidos em qualquer época de Outono/Inverno. A cor dominante é o vermelho, cor característica do Natal e a destes looks!
Hello! Welcome to another fabulous Looks of the Week post! In this post, I present 5 Christmas looks, but with a special feature that they all have in common! These looks are styled with items of clothing that I already have in my wardrobe. In other words, I didn't need to buy anything new to present these Christmas-inspired looks. These aren't the kind of looks that make you say, “Wow, you can only wear this look at Christmas.” No, these are looks that can be worn at any time during fall/winter. The dominant color is red, the characteristic color of Christmas and of these looks!
SEGUNDA / MONDAY
TERÇA / TUESDAY
This coat with its wonderful cut remains timeless! There's no secret to this look because the coat makes the outfit!
SEXTA / FRIDAY
And there's a big secret to this look: the coat in a classic houndstooth pattern in a bold color like red is nothing more than an upgrade of this pattern! I loved this 2025 look!
