In the blues of a new hair!

Hello darlings, on the contrary of what my title might say, I am not "blued" out of my new hair. If you follow on twitter you already know what I am writing about! Yeahh finally I got to go to the hairdresser, that was a torture for me, you might not know but I hate people touching or messing up my hair. But the title has a little of truth, I am again without a job (remember I told you my contract was ending? it was a 6 months project that ended a little earlier), but on the right side, I am still waiting to hear from Madeira Health Services, the interview results are not out yet. But keep your fingers crossed for me on this waiting please!

This was my hair right after the hairdresser appointment! How long uh?

And now, with curls/waves again!

Details: dress, jacket, shoes - H&M; scarf - Pull&Bear; belt - Mercadillo.

Well and on the title yet, Lookbook.nu is having a contest, The Blues for H&M Contest. Click there to learn more about it! And this is my first look for the contest! Please hype me :) the prize is €100 voucher for H&M. You can post your looks too! Just tell me in a comment or mail and I'll hype you too.
Wish you a lovely week! Oh and you might think I'll blog a lot more I don't have a job, but the truth is, I'm not having internet at home (blogging from the mall) so I'm sorry for the sparse posting and comenting.

We are now in the second month of 2010, and I've been wanting to make this post for a long time, because 2009 was definitely the year of Kristen Stewart. I must say I wasn't very impressed with her style when I first noticed her, but now must admit she is a badass stylish girl (mostly in her "Red Carpet" aparitions). From Oscar de la Renta, Hervé Léger by Max Azria and Proenza Schouler dresses or Louboutin brogues, and come on, mixing a tweed dress with a bomber jacket?? How fierce is that? Here are some pictures to prove it!

and other sites I can't remmember because I had these pictures in my inspiration folder.

VOGUE Portugal even made an article about this amazing actress! (January/10 issue)

EDIT: Talking about the Portuguese Vogue, I meant to mention this a while ago, the February issue has an artile on style blogs (including opinion of Chic Lisboa) and another one on vintage shopping (with Lisbon vintage shopping guide)! Check it out if you haven't yet.

Despite this title... I am ready for spring! Can't wait for The Garden Collection from H&M to arrive!

Went to my last visit to this Winter sales (can't spend more money!!), and got quite some bargains at H&M for €5 each (and a t-shirt for €3!) and a lovely bow dress at Zara for €5 too!

Until Spring doesn't arrive here are some winter-y outfits (showing a little better my black "oxford shoes" from Calçados Guimarães) :)

dress and tights - Zara; shoes - Calçados Guimarães; ring - local jewelry store downtwon

Hope you're having a lovely weekend, mine, as always, is spent working.

I've got you under my skin

An old old outfit, from some weeks ago taken at my friend Mariana's house! The dress is from H&M (sales acquisition), that shows my latest addiction with colours/paterns (though is not the only one -> nudes)!

Oh and as I've mentioned before, I really really need a haircut! My usually black hair is now brown and it's getting really frizzy and messy. So I am taking suggestions! Please express yourselves!! Note: I wan to keep the lenght of it!

dress - H&M, jacket - Stradivarius, tights - old and can't remmember, boots - Seaside, headbow - Claire's, bag - Mango (sales acquisition too for €16)

ps: thank you all for your good luck wishes on last post <3

One more red outfit for you :P

Ah I guess I could make some explanations about my trip to Madeira, if you didn't take conclusions. My boyfriend is from there, I haven't seen him since last July and there were 6 months of missing him to kill on this week. I am a nurse and the contract with the company I am working now is ending next month, and Madeira is one of the few places in Portugal where the job market for nurses isn't as bad as the rest of the country. So for all of this I went to a job interview there, that went quite well so I am expecting some good news! As the cherry on top I really fell in love with the island and didn't want to come back here (Coimbra).

dress - H&M, cardigan - hand me down from my aunt, t-shirt - Lefties, tights - Calzedonia, shoes - Calçados Guimarães, hairclip - Vividot (won at a giveaway from Carrie)
