Destination: Portugal

How hard is it to work during the summer? There’s nothing like sitting behind a desk full of files and looking outside into a beautiful blue sky lit by a warm summer sun. Summer screams vacation. Trips to the Cape, trips to friends in D.C. and even a destination trip. Last year it was Belize. If you’re planing an exciting getaway this summer (I’m still debating whether or not I should fire-up the old credit card for one in August or September), why not visit Portugal? While you’re there, as you wind your way down the historic Vairro Alto area, be sure to stop by 22 at Assunção Street and visit tea salon and vintage clothing destination A Outra Face da Lua.

This unique shop is a very popular in Lisbon people and has a growing number of fans who have ensured its success throughout the years. It’s a part of the vintage culture and lives up to is goals of preserving history, recycling fine fabrics and promoting originality. Check them out online, I love everything in their roupa vintage (vintage clothing) section!
