Update

This is a little update since lately I haven't had time to take any outfit photo and my internet connection is being a little slow.
My university second semester started this week and I'm really excited with some classes I'm going to have like per example, Music, Art and Multimedia and Graphic Design. I just can't wait!

Today my boyfriend took me some pictures so I could update this. The weather was perfect. Sun, blue sky and it wasn't cold at all. I just wore a blazer and it was great!

I have this bag since last year and it looks a bit old. I really need to buy a new stachel. I saw the perfect one on Pull and Bear and if everything turns ok I'm going to buy it next week. I just hope that my pc fits on it.

Blazer- Pull and Bear; Pants- Zara; Blouse- Blanco; Cardigan- Zara; Bag- Zara


I wore something really simple today and once again I wore pants. There's something strange going on with me, that's the only explanation.


Oh, by the way! Have you seen the new Woody Allen movie? The You're Going To Meet a Tall Dark Stranger? I love Woody Allen so much and he's one of my favorite film director but it was a bit disapointing. Not sure how many of you agrees with me but we can do so much better. Annie Hall is one of my main inspirations.

Walk In The Garden

Photobucket

Today I went to a walk in my city's the Botanic Garden with my boyfriend. It was a bit cold and sadly it started rainning so a few minutes later we were all wet and my hair was a mess. I'm not sure why I didn't take my umbrella, I guess it's my need for Spring.


Photobucket

Anyway, I tried to do my hair like a 60s lady but it didn't came out the way that I wanted. I guess I need to watch some tutorials and to pratice a bit more.
I wore something relaxed, I don't wear pants much so I tought it would be a nice idea to change that a bit but I still prefer dresses and skirts, they're more comfy. I don't believe how there's people saying that jeans are most comfortable piece of clothing in the world, I really don't.

It's Rainning Outside

Blue Door

Photobucket

Yesterday I was walking through Coimbra, the city where I study, and I saw this little blue door. Right in that moment I asked my boyfriend to take me a couple of pictures. I'm not sure what to think about my outfit, I was in a rush and I dressed the first thing that I saw.

After I saw the blue door I saw this really old kind of bike and once again I couldn't ignore it.

Black Flowers

My hair is looking pretty akward those past days. I really need a haircut. I'm probably going to cut it this weekend. Another thing is that my camera is taking really blurry pictures, not sure what's happening.


Photobucket

Anyway, yesterday the day was really beautiful and warm so I decided to wear something soft. This dress is perfect for this kind of days.

La vie c'est YeYe!

Photobucket

Lately I've been searching for colour inspiration but I haven't found anything that I really loved. Fortunately I've been following YeYe's blog for more than a year and all that I can say it that you can't find a better 60s style blog.


Photobucket

All the patterns, colours, shapes, music inspiration and lifestyle makes this one of the most enjoyable blogs that I ever found.
This makes me love the 60s and vintage clothes and it's incredibly inspiring!


Photobucket

I guess that if I want some colour inspiration, none can be better than this lady's style. She's the only one who makes me question my love for black, ahah.
Well, don't forget to check her blog, La vie c'est YeYe, here!

Come Spring Come

Photobucket

(T-shirt- Zara; Cardigan- Pull and Bear; Hat- Bought it at a summer festival)


Today there's a beautiful day outside and it makes me want spring more than ever. I miss sunny days, the smell of the flowers, to wake up, look out the window and see the beautiful blue sky. I miss picnics, lighter clothes, cardigans and beautiful dresses.
Today would be a great day to enjoy a bit of that, but no! I have to study and attach myself to my laptop because I'm still not the best java programmer. That's what you get when you study multimedia design.
Now I'm going to the post office to send a few things that I sold and this is going to be the only moment outside my home today. Oh, great.

Grey Nails

Photobucket

A few days ago I bought a beautiful grey nail polish and I'm in love with it. It is from Risqué and the name is Arábia. It was a great buy since I'm a bit sick of red and black nails.
If you want something refreshing you should try this. It looks really perfect and the grey tone couldn't be better.

Anyway, this is a quite quick post since I need to go and study and do a lot of java excercices (I must say I'm not that happy about it). But first I'm going to watch a bit of The Big Bang Theory.

Nude and Black

The time seems to pass too fast for me. I fell like I have loads of things to do but I never have time to do anything. I think I have to blame winter. I love winter but I miss the long summer days. I can't wait 'til summer arrives. I'm super excited about seeing Arcade Fire, Iggy Pop and The Strokes live. Oh, summer festivals, you're the one who keeps giving me strenght to pass this awful exams moment.

Anyway, yesterday I got time to take this quick photos of my outfit. Nude and black were my choices!
