AMBER ON FIRE

I just can't get enough of this GUESS Fall 2011 Campaign. I think it's so glamorous, sexy and absolutely flawless. Actress Amber Heard and model Silviu Tolu look stunning together, they have such a big chemistry, you can tell! Oh, and the fact that the pictures are in black and white make the whole campaign top notch, I'd say. Fabulous.  Photographed by Ellen von Unwerth.

Little piece of Heaven

Have a great weekend!

Who Says Models Can Only Pose?

Amazing work by Mark Hug showing some Ford's News Face's LA models most natural side.

Who says models can only pose?

Sticks & STONE

Lara Stone looks beyond gorgeous in the November issue of Vogue Paris. She is seriously rocking those red lips, and her hair is just so pretty. She looks really classy. I love all the photos, my favorite is the last one. So inspirational.

This Monday I was elected Blogger Of The Week by Portuguese Fashion Bloggers's page on Facebook. I have been posting on their page for a while now and, on Monday, when I saw they elected me as Blogger of the Week, I was sooo happy. It is crazy how my blog has been growing lately and it's all because of you. Sharing my favorite stuff with you as become a part of my life and I would love to have more time to do more posts. But, still, I try to do it as often as I can.

My week's TOP 5!

I made a promise. Actually I made two.

The first one is to go to Tomorrowland 2011 in Belgium with my best friends. The other one is that, from tomorrow on, I will really start studying and taking Uni stuff more seriously. There are only three months left, how hard can it be? I know I can do it and I'm starting to get excited about it. Three months and I'm done with studying and I can have my weekends with nothing to do back.

I have to say that my last three days were awesome. I spent them with my friends, away from Uni, and I had so much fun. But the cherry on top of my week was yesterday night, when my friends and I celebrated my best friend Mariana's birthday! It was insaneee! We first had dinner all together and then we went to ISCTE (her Uni)  to one of the wildest parties of the year. We had so much fun! We listened to such good music and we danced all night. I really missed it. Since some of my greatest friends are done with Uni, and they have already started working, I only see them once or twice a week. So, whenever we are together, it's really intense and it's a big relief from the week we had. I just love all of them.

It started raining today, so I spent my entire afternoon putting my Winter clothes in my chariot. My bedroom looks even cozier. Now I need to plan next week but first I leave you with my week's top 5! Enjoy!

Some Pão de Deus I brought home from my favorite bakery in the entire world, A Padaria Portuguesa. They are sooo good.

My chariot filled with my comfy Winter clothes. What a great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.

My Chanel nail polish collection that I started using as decoration in one of my shelves.

I finally got rid of my old big computer, so now I have much more space in my desk!

The party of the year.

Love,

WE FOUND ♥ IN A HOPELESS PLACE

Frida About Town - Frida Gustavsson for Elle Sweden

Frida Gustavsson is true Teen Royalty. Not only she's incredibly pretty, she's also extremely talented. She is one of my favorite models in the entire world, along with other names like Abbey Lee, Behati Prinsloo, Anja Konstantinova, Daria Werbowy and many other beautiful girls. She looks stunning in the November issue of Elle Sweden, wearing some pieces from Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and others. And she's totally rocking that forties look and those retro curls. It's impossible not to love her.

Not enought time.

Possibly the three words that discribe my life the best right now.

I find myself running from one place to another, from Uni, to work, and then finally home in the end of the day, when I literally eat and go to bed.

My days have been caothic. My day starts at seven in the morning when my alarm clock rings and I jump in the shower, still sleeping, while the radio is on. Then I have breakfast with my parents and I know that, when I go out the door, right after brushing my teeth, combing my hair, putting on make-up and having a second shower of perfum, I won't stop until the end of the day.

Uni is driving me crazy. It's not that I don't like the subjects...ok, who am I trying to fool? I only like one or two. But I'm really trying to make an effort to like the other ones, or at least to pay attention during classes. But I don't feel any motivation at all. It's my last semester and it should totally be the other way around. I should be literaly jumping because I'll graduate in three months. But I'm still so far way. So many exams, so many works,... I really hate this feeling and I want to do better in Uni so I can have good grades. I just can't fail any of the subjects I'm doing.

This is my last chance. There is no other way around. It's now or never. But it's also my last chance to party like a G6. My last days as a student. Everything will be getting so much serious soon! But I can't wait to stop studying and start getting practical. I have to get good grades so I can have the internship I want (I'll tell you my options later). I'm starting to see myself more as a woman and that's good. I'm proud of all my achievements.

But, even though I'm tired of Uni, I'm not tired of my new work at all. I'm working as a room assistant at Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and I'm loving it! Seriously, I've met so many nice people there and everyone as been so kind to me. And I've already learnt so much!

Besides that, if anyone sees my gym, give it my best regards and tell it I really miss it.

Well, this is my diary for today. I need to get into bed soon because I'll be waking up in seven hours. Going to watch Gossip Girl's new episode and then sleep.

By the way, I'm reading a book called Fashion Now 2, from Taschen, on fashion designers from around the world and I'm enjoying it so much! I really want to learn as much as I can about fashion and reading books is a great way to do it. I've been reading about the house of Balenciaga and Chanel and so much more interesting stuff. It's one of the best ways to end my day.

Well, this is it for today teens. I hope you're having an amazing week!

What has everyone been up to? I wanna know :)

Love,

R.
