Rita's Favorites
You might already know that Rita is passionate about vintage pieces, but did you imagine she’s also addicted to true crime stories? Her favorites might surprise and intrigue you, but if they’re on this list, it’s because they’ve truly won her over – and they’ll probably captivate you too. Take note:
What I'm listening to
If you’re swapping your music playlists for true crime podcasts, then the Crime Junkie podcast is for you. In my opinion, it’s one of the best and I’m hooked! With a new episode released every Monday, Ashley Flowers tells stories of crimes that had me hooked from start to finish.
Local discovery
I love the space at 8marvila and the whole concept that mixes art, culture, and local commerce with a touch of nature. I particularly enjoy visiting when they have the mercado dos anjos 70, it’s great to check out cool second-hand stuff and discover new artists. It’s always a great time, and if you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend it 🥰
Must-read
The Machine for Making Spaniards is a profound reflection of Portuguese society, written with a blend of sadness, humor, and irony that only the brilliant Valter Hugo Mãe – one of my favorite authors – could achieve. The writing makes the book, and it makes us reflect on important themes, but in a light and fun way.
On my wishlist
I love Sézane and I’ve had these shoes saved for a while. I love the style and the color! Unfortunately, my size is sold out, so they’ve never made it past the wishlist 🥹
And I discovered these trousers and fell in love! The ruffle at the hem makes them elegant and original, and at the same time they seem practical, versatile, and comfortable.
A trip that I loved
I adore Banff in Canada! With its lush nature and landscapes that look like true oil paintings, it’s a destination that always inspires me and helps me escape the hustle and bustle of my days in Lisbon.
A must-watch
I loved the return of True Detective, with Jodie Foster! As for movies, I think 2023 was a good year for cinema, but without a doubt, Assassins of Flower Street and Poor Things are at the top of my current favorites. They’re two completely different stories, but beautiful and so important!
An extra tip
The Feira da Ladra, where you can find the coolest and most unexpected vintage pieces! And for those who want to combine a visit to the fair with a beach stroll, on Sundays there’s a flea market in Costa da Caparica, with good finds 🤭
If you enjoyed Rita’s favorites, get ready, because soon the whole team will be here to share other must-have discoveries 🙂 And because we want to create a wave of fascinating recommendations, we invite you to share what has been brightening your days too!
