Portuguese Pink

Helen

Being on a full year exchange, one encounters many things, one of which is the movement of old and new students half way through the year when a semester ends and a new one starts. However, two days ago, one of last semester’s students came back to visit us for a few days. Oh the jealousy for those who live in the European Union!

Her name is Inês. She is Portuguese, hailing from Lisbon. She has strawberry red hair!

A group of us spent this afternoon playing laser tag. Now not only did she manage to shoot me the most, but she was doing it whilst wearing this pair of very eclectic earrings:



At first, I thought there were weird pink small lanterns. But after taking a closer look, it occurred to me that they were actually thin metal chains stuffed with pink sequins!

A present from her sister’s boyfriend, they’re awfully cute and original. I love how fresh the design is – have fallen in love with them immediately ♥ !

It’s moments like these that makes me wish I had pierced ears…
