Long haired vixens

 Three of my favorite girls which happen to be my hair icons as well. I love super long hair that even when cut manages to look huge anyway (Kaya Scodelario's hair only got to "boob-lenght" recently but somehow i always imagined her hair longer that in reality). Not only these ladies rock the straight/wavy/curly hair perfectly but also they always choose lovely colors. I loved Lana del Rey's auburn-dark brown transition. Since i have a similar colour to her "blonder" days it got me thinking about going darker. I'm not so sure about her black hair right now (seems to make her washed-out) but with full make up she looks like 40's movie star. Sky is also pretty bold with the longest hair of the bunch and she rocks dark roots like no one!

Nostalgic Inspiration

Hi everyone! Around this time of the year I always get the urge (as most of you girls i'm sure) to burn my entire wardrobe and buy everything new. But right now i'm loving a lot of stuff i actually used wear when i was younger. And some of the trends i've been spotting (not necessarily from 2012 fall/winter) have made me feel somehow sort of nostalgic.

Olá a todos! Por volta desta altura do ano eu tenho sempre um sentido de urgência (como a maior parte das meninas há de saber) em queimar todo o meu guarda-roupa e comprar um monte de peças novas. Mas por agora estou a adorar uma data de coisas que na realidade eu costumava usar quando era mais nova. E algumas trends que tenho visto (não necessariamente do Outono/Inverno 2012) têm me feito sentir algo nostálgica.

 Beauty look for 'Riddle me this' collection Autumn/Winter 2013
I loved this make up. The bright eyes and soft pink lips reminded me of my first attempts at make up (not that i improved much). I love the mermaid vibe with the pastel colors and the 'eye-bling'.

Adorei este look de maquilhagem. Os olhos brilhantes e os lábios cor de rosa claro lembraram-me as minhas primeiras tentativas com maquilhagem (que não melhoraram muito mais). Adoro a vibe de sereia com os tons pastel e os cristais nos olhos.

70's inspired beauty look

I love everything about the 70's even though it's not true nostalgia because i wasn't even alive back then .
I will definitely try this look with the purple lip (since it's another trend i'm loving this fall).

Adoro tudo relacionado com os 70's, apesar de não ser verdadeiramente nostalgia porque nem sequer tinha nascido nessa altura. Vou definitivamente experimentar este look com os lábios roxos (já que é outra trend que estou a adorar para este Outono).

 

Body - con and sneakers
This one has been around for a long time. Body-con dresses and skirts with converse all star shoes. A few years ago i had 10+ pairs of sneakers and i would wear them with skirts mostly. Now only wear skirts with 'real' shoes. But i really wanna get back to my sneakers. Vans mostly. I'm not really a fan of converse all star. I'm not really a Blake Lively fan either but i must admit those two together look great.

Esta já anda por aí há algum tempo. Vestidos e saias com silhueta body-con emparelhados com ténis converse all star. Há uns anos atrás eu tinha mais de 10 pares de ténis e usava-os a todos principalmente com saias. Agora só uso saias com sapatos 'a sério'. Mas ultimamente quero mesmo regressar aos meus ténis. Que são na maioria vans. Não só fã de converse all star. Também não sou fã da Blake Lively mas tenho de confessar que os dois juntos ficam muito bem!

Skye from Terra Nova TV series
I just finished watching the season 1 and i'm so sad it got canceled. Not because it was a good show (trust me it wasn't) but i won't be able to watch the lovely Allison Miller playing Skye. She had the most perfect natural curls and a really cool sporty/survivalist style. Much like the teenage me (except I hated my curls back then). I don't know how to explain it even though it's the same sort of style people wear on other sci-fi shows Skye just seems to add a cool element to it. Maybe that white shirt she wore on the first episode :)

Acabei agora de ver a 1ª temporada e estou tão triste que tenham cancelado a série. Não porque era um bom programa (acreditem não era) mas agora não vou poder ver a adorável Allison Miller interpretar Skye. Ela tinha os caracóis naturais mais perfeitos e um estilo desportivo/natureza bastante cool. Muito à semelhança do meu "eu" adolescente (excepto que eu odiava os meus caracóis). Não se bem como explicar porque é o mesmo estilo de roupa que as personagens usam em séries de ficção científica mas a Skye acrescenta qualquer coisa de especial ao seu estilo. Talvez a camisa branca que usou no primeiro episódio :)

BackpacksNow that's some real nostalgia. I wore back packs until 2nd year of college. Expensive eastpaks and whatnot. Much like my sneaker obcession this was my other 'juvenile' obcession which i never thought i would leave behind. But i've been seeing this really cool black numbers. All faux leather and studs. I would consider a brown one but since you're already making a statement with a back pack why not go all out?

Agora sim, nostalgia a sério. Eu usei mochilas até ao 2º ano da faculdade. Eastpaks caras e não sei quê. Tal como a minha obsessão com ténis esta era a minha outra obsessão 'juvenil' que nunca pensei abandonar. Ma ultimamente tenho visto estes exemplos pretos incríveis. De cabedal e com tachas. Eu até considerei uma castanha mas já que estamos a fazer um statement com uma mochila porque não elevar tudo ao máximo?

What do you guys think about these trends? Do you follow any?

O que é que vocês acham sobre estas trends? Seguem alguma?

#1 Fall Wishlist

fall wishlist 2012 by pott featuring pull & bear

Even though it still feels like summer i've been checking some new collections (or not) and there's some stuff i'm loving right now!
Black lace kimonos- even though they don't offer much protection against the cold i think they would be a great light jacket for me this season. so easy to dress up or wear with a casual outfit.
studded shorts- yes high waisted black distressed shorts with spikes. cliche much? yes but they're amazing!
studded loafers- i know everything will be studs and spikes this season. I still love it but i'm liking the pieces with the subtle details like these shoes with studs at the back.
biker boots- always a classic.
lilac hair -  i'm thinking about ditching my pink ends for some lilac. what do you guys think?
baby blue dress - doesn't quite seem to fit in this set. I tried it the other day and found it so sweet i couldn't resist to add it here.

new bag - i like this style. the grey jersey material gives it a cool edgy vibe.
comme des fuckdown* beanie - i just love the brand. It's really smart and cool and i like the message it stands for. Also A$ap Rocky usually sports clothing from this brand and he's the dopest rapper fashionwise.
