I am vengeance, I am the night.

My little blog was almost dead after these hectic last days: everything from uni to my personal life stopped me from coming online, except for the ocasional time wasting on Facebook. I do have a lot of outfit posts saved up, a few that my boyfriend photographed for me in England and a few random ones that I took (but didn't have the time to post. Typical), so hopefully I'll manage to keep my blog alive for a while.

Moving on, here's what I wore yesterday:

 

{Dress - Primark; Blazer - Primark; Polka dot tights - Calzedonia; Shoes - a gift; Bag - Parfois; Batman necklace - nOir jewelry via Oasap.com}

My university was closed yesterday, so since my parents had the day off as well, they decided to pop up and spend the afternoon with me. As always, I make my mum take photos of me and she makes me take photos with her to put on her Facebook profile (she's both a mother hen and a Facebook addict, so you get the picture)

The OH SO COOL Batman necklace was a gift from Oasap.com, I chose it for obvious reasons, but I didn't know I was in for a treat. When I looked closely at the necklace I noticed "nOir"embossed on the back and then something clicked in my brain: nOir jewelry had a superhero inspired collection a couple of years ago, due to a partnership with DC Comics to celebrate the publisher's 75 years. I remember I loved the whole collection, even made a post about it, who would know that 2 years after I'd be sporting a necklace from that very same collection :D

Red Valentino Fall 2012

I love black and pastel pink together. That's why I found the Red Valentino Autumn 2012 collection gorgeous, and the styling of the lookbook is absolutely genius: headbands, overknee socks.. and those shoes, that cape... cuteness overload!

 

How gorgeous and whimsy is this?! I want to wear one of these frocks and frollic around a forest with a doe and a rabbit by my side *.*

Schoolgirl nostalgia

The school girl in me kicked in. I guess it's the sudden realisation that I'll only be called a student for 4 more months.

 It's really scary, especially considering the fact that I'm not mature at all. I remember being 13 and thinking 18 year olds were really mature, and that 25 year old had a full adult life with kids and mortgage. And now I'm 23, all I can think about is how young and childish I am, and I don't see myself having that fully grown life at least until I'm 30.

I guess it's just like my dad and boyfriend say: some people will always be silly and do kids stuff. It's not like I'm not responsible: I've had a job, payed my bills and dealt with patients... but I still came home to my Xbox, my comics and Star Wars... I guess some things will never change!

Mulberry's Del Rey

Mulberry got every Alexa fangirl's attention when they designed and named a bag after the gorgeous british style icon.

Now, it's Lana Del Rey's turn, and Mulberry did an awesome job, because that bag is gorgeous (in this humble girl's oppinion, it has nothing on the Alexa, but maybe I'm just too much of a Chungster)

Del Rey sported her signature bag at the Mulberry AW12 show, clearly well happy about it

Little Red Riding Polkadot

Is it me, or red goes really well with a navy polkadotted pattern?

 

{Orange/red trench coat - United Colors of Benetton; Polka dot dress - H&M; Red heels - H&M; Cat bag - a gift from when my mum went to Belgium; Hairbow - DIY}

Personally, I quite like it. And I love my polka dotted dress so much, I just couldn't wait for winter to end to wear it.

I can't believe I have uni again tomorrow. I'm already used to wake up late and play xbox all day, I don't know how I'll manage to get off my bum and get up early. Especially considering it's quite chilly and I'll have to walk to uni since my car is broken... well, that's what earmuffs are for :D

Must Follow - The Styling Dutchman

There are different types of blogs that I read: some I read for gorgeous style inspiration, some I read because of their beautiful pictures, and there are some that I actually read, and I do that because the girls that write them look genuinely interesting and seem like actual human beings (the whole designer outfits and party every day doesn't really appeal to me to be honest).

And the next must follow blogger owns one of the blogs that I actually read: Annebeth from The Styling Dutchman. Let's find out a bit more about her!

Bow-ie

My boyfriend is studying photography, and since I'm in England and I actually have zero ability to take decent photos, he decided to help me and shot a few of my outfits. I (obviously) did some shopping, and I found this gorgeous dress at Primark, full of bows!

Also, just the day before I left, I got a package from Beadelicious, with some goodies I ordered, including this really cool flower ring:

{Owl ring - Pull&Bear; Flower ring - Beadelicious}

All photos by my boyfriend. Also, I got so much stuff I might just do a haul with them. Please bare with me.

Guest post - Mad about hats

I'm a lover of hats. During the winter I'm rarely out without a beret and during the summer I do love to show off a straw hat on top of my head.

That's why I was really excited when I read the article Izzie wrote for my blog: get ready to learn more about vintage hats :D

 

Last exam + giveaway winner!

 Last surgery exam - done! Hopefully it'll be the last time EVER I have to study that horribly thick book. Let's cross our fingers, shall we.

I'm going to visit my boyfriend tomorrow, and I heard England is all cold and snowy and stuff. I'm actually scared, because I really don't know how to dress for cold. In Portugal, I just wear my normal summer clothes, and add tights, knits and a coat.

If you don't hear from me next week, I probabily froze and I'll be discovered in a million years, inside a glaciar by advanced aliens. They will bring me back to life, and I'll live in Futurama's New New York.

Sweet.

Also, the winner of the 100$ Giftcard is Rebecca, from It's Cohen! I'll e-mail you in a bit :)
