Tears For Affairs

I already feel Christmas arriving and it's not a lie when I say it is my favorite season of the year. I love the smells, the food, the songs, the films, the lights.. well, everything! Today I wanted to wear something red and I came out with this Christmas inspired outfit. Red is not a color I wear that often but it is one of my favorite colors ever, no doubt about it.

This is probably one of my favorite outfits so far. It made really happy wearing it and I love how it really reflects how I am and what I like to wear!

Dream a Little Dream

I always have a problem when taking my own pictures: my battery always goes down! And this is a true story! I was only able to take this two photos and the light was awful. But it doesn't matter because today I felt so comfy in this outfit that I needed to share it with you.

Also, today I realized that I'm really into this"burgundy trend". It wasn't my intention, I didn't do it on purpose, I just noticed that I'm wearing that color a lot. It is a pretty color anyway!

Tomorrow I'll try to do my first "one day in pictures"! I always wanted to do it but I'm such a fail with those things! I always forget to take a pictures in the most important moments. But good luck to me, this time is the time!

Oh, and I've been listening to this song the whole day! I just can't stop:

Roman Holiday In Pictures

Roman Holiday is a lovely 1953 film starring the magnific Audrey Hepburn and the very handsome Gregory Peck. It is one of the most amazing, lovable, funny and heartbreaking films ever! If you like Audrey Hepburn, I'm sure you like this film. She looks really beautiful (as usual) and her smile makes us want to smile with her! Truly inspiring in many ways!

Beauty and The Beast

Today I wore for the first time my beloved scalloped blouse. I just can't get sick of that peter pan collar! It makes me feel like I'm some character in a fairy tail story! I'm sure the 6 year old me would love to see me wearing this. That's why the title of the post, Beauty and The Beast is still my favorite Disney film.

The photos were taken in front of the door of my house. Yes, it is a bit old but I love the nostalgic feeling about it. When I moved to Coimbra to study I always wanted to live in a typical old house and now I'm finally doing it. It's not fancy but I find it adorable!

Another great thing, is that the sun decided to shine today. I'm in a good mood indeed!

(Those damn summer festival bracelets! I need to get rid of them but when I thing about doing it I get full of regret and give up, ahah!)

Kling Winter '11

The new Kling collection is already out and all I have to say is that it's perfect! Kling is a spanish brand known for the originality and quality of their clothes. This new season was not exception and once again they have an amazing collection that every girly girl in world is going to love!

Very dolly like, they decided to play with the vintage doll from the 60s theme! Full of pretty dresses, collars, bows and lovely colours, this is something that I imagine someone little Dolores Haze wearing in her travels around United States with Mr. Humbert Humbert.

What To Wear During Winter

I don't know about you, but I always find really difficult to dress stylish and to show my outfits during winter. It

feels like I'm always wearing boots, a long coat, tights and maybe a warm scarf. Always the same! I'm always wearing my warmest clothes but everything feels so boring! That's why I decided to use Polyvore, my

imagination and bit of inpiration to create some of the outfits I'd like to wear this Winter. I love cold days but my wardrobe don't. The time of the year I feel easier to wear is during Autumn, but Autumn days will get over soon and Winter is already sneaking behind the door!

I love this one! The colors are perfect and long-sleeve dresses during Winter are a must have!

Also, the beret! I really want to wear a lot of berets during the cold days!

Another long-sleeve dress and another beret! The dress really looks cosy and warm and even though I really feel like start wearing colorful tights, I always will love my beloved black tights!

This is probably my favorite one! It's difficult to anyone see me wearing pants but when the wind is too cold to wear tights, why not giving pants a try? Also, I love the coat and the little bow. I guess I'm going to do a little DIY to my old coats that I don't longer wear so they can look a bit more stylish. The bowler hat is also on my Winter wishlist!

Glass In The Park

Let me present you my yellow tights, one of my best buys of the year! I know, they're just tights but I'm in love with them. I used to be a "only black tights" kind of girl but I'm feeling so much better exploring some other colours to spice up my daily outfits.

Today the rain decided to stop during the afternoon and after I left my typography class I bugged my boyfriend to take me a few photos (poor him, I should get a tripod). Sometimes I find a bit hard to post outfit photos here because I don't wanna be too annoying, or the girl who's always asking for photos. But carrying a tripod to the middle of the street and start posing for a camera sounds like something that will make everybody here in Coimbra stare. I shoudn't be so shy about those things!

Illustration: Katy Smail

As a Multimedia Design student, illustration is something that I find truly exciting and since this is more than a fashion/style blog I decided to share with you some lovely works of one of the illustrators I've been liking the most lately!

Katy Smail is an artist from Scotland (living in New York) and her drawings are always really feminine and lady like! She uses a lot of birds and flowers collages which makes her stuff even more adorable. Very inspired by fashion and vintage photos (you can see it in her blog here) her work is something that I call real poetry!

Love,

Ps: Today I reached 400 followers and I couldn't be happier! Thank you :)

Sessun: A/W '11

If you love the french style as much as I do I'm sure you love the Autumn/Winter collection by the french label Sessun. The color pallete is perfect and it represents very well what colors I feel like wearing this season, such as mustard yellow, brown, burnt orange, burgundy and a bit of navy!

Femine and androgenic at the same time, exactly how a french artist likes to wear!

Love,
