You Make Me Wanna Measure Stars

So, hey! I had the chance to take a few pictures today and I was so tired that everything went out not as expected. I took the pictures in front of my new house, not the prettiest place here in Coimbra but that's what I could get. Plus, this outfit was chosen while looking at my clock - I was a bit late for classes today - and it's not the most exciting thing ever. But enough complaining.

I'm thinking - again - about cutting my hair and dying it. It has no shape and no defined color and I'm always wearing it with a ponytail or something like that and I must admit that I miss wearing it down. I guess this next weekend I'm finally going to the hairdresser but I still don't know what to do with it. Let the haircut search begin!

The lovely Ana from Playground Love made this illustration of myself and I found it so adorable that I had to share it with you. Thank you once again Ana :)


Well, my classes started this week which means that I'm back in Coimbra. Sadly, I still haven't internet at my new house and I can't come here as much as I'd like to, but if everything turns ok I'll have it next week.
The great thing is that my friend Paulinha came to visit me and we spent the days playing guitar hero and doing nothing but talk and watch movies. I love those days when you can just chill with your friends and forget that internet exists (I'm a bit of an internet addicted I must admit ahah).



Oh, and I finally saw Midnight In Paris by Woody Allen at the cinema and all I can say is that it was perfect. I guess you must know I'm a Woddy Allen fan and this film was another prove of how amazing he is.


Love,

I've been noticing that a lot of bloggers are talking about the new Fall/Winter Primark collection and since today I went there I tought it would be a great idea to tell you how much I'm adoring their new clothes. Sadly I couldn't buy anything because I'm in a saving money mode during this month (blame university fees + rent) but as soon as October arrives I'll be back there so I can buy a few lovely pieces that I saw.

What I like the most about this collection is how romantic it looks with such lovely collars and colors. I loved the dresses and their 60s look and I felt in love with every single purse and shoes.
Also, I do need a few autumn clothes and since Primark ones are not expensive at all but are truly pretty, I already know how my wardrobe is going to look like.

Hello everyone! I'm glad to say that I'm back to the blogging world. Sadly, I've been absent during this summer because of my camera issues (but yey, I have a new camera) and because my creativity is being a bit low lately. With all of this I decided to take a little break from the blogging world but I must admit that I miss all of this. To read your blogs and your lovely comments was one of the things I liked the most to do during my spare time.

I had a great time during this summer. I saw live a lot of great bands. I went to three music festivals. I had the pleasure to see Pulp (Jarvis Cocker is such a handsome man), Warpaint, Washed Out, Battles, Blonde Redhead, Mogwai, Liars, Vivian Girls and so many others.
I spent lovely days with my friends, I saw great films, ate delicious food but also had boring days doing nothing but eating in front of my computer (such a shame, I know). Right now, I'm spending a few days at my boyfriend's hometown. His mom is doing francesinha for dinner (click here), a typical portuguese dish, which I love. Later we're going to see a parade here in Lamego. Lovely days indeed.

My classes are starting in two weeks or so. I'm super excited with this year beacuse I'm having video, audio, typography and all of those things that I love. I'm moving to a new house and I'm loving my bedroom's decoration. I can't wait to show it to you when finished. In the end of this week I'm going with my friend Paulinha to Ikea so I can buy the missing things. We're also going to Primark. I want to buy a lot of autumn clothes. I'm not a summer girl, that's for sure.
