Male talk

I was searching for big actors from other eras, and I thought about how their charm was so unique. How come guys now a days don't have the same appeal ?

What happened to the Charm ?! It seems they are all metro Sexual now. Its all about the labels. Now a days guys seem to be more feminine that we are. It's sad dear readers, it's sad. And that is why I like Alex Turner....LOL.

Well, what I really wanted to post was this photos....forget about the rest. Pretend it's male talk.


Some like Prince Charming, I love Alex Turner xD


Jeez...I never thought that after their concert (where I almost die in crowd surfing...not funny at all) I would be even more obsessed with Alex. He is a genius! For all the other fans...don't worry I don't have the desire of marry him (not publicly..lol) I am happy if he just continues with his brilliant career and never lose that amazing voice he has. I find spectacular how they maintain their lives private and don't act like indie rock annoying "divas". Please keep it that way.

My Friday night Doodles


After long days in my summer job, and I am not talking about part-time, I actually get the full 8 hours treatment everyday, I've decided to post about every single thing that came to my mind in these past weeks and what I have learned.
First, I would like to tell you about what my job is about. I am working at my mom's (is it mom or mum, I really can't get the difference) friend salon. He is a brilliant even genius Hairdresser and when I saying this I am not talking about those tacky self call "original" hairdressers that do the heads of the rich and famous...well he actually does the heads of the rich and famous, but since the rich are new rich chic wanna be I think they doesn't count. The thing is, he is an artist and his works are truly pieces of art but I guess you would need to see to understand it, plus he is internationally famous. Back to my job...I am working and helping as a receptionist while one of the ladies who work there is on vacation.
It's incredible what I see everyday, those woman (and some man, the type who does his nails and pedicure but his mother still doesn't figure out why) are so fragile and insecure that they need to be arrogant to feel...loved ? or to have some attention ?
It's a bit sad, and I'm not writing this to be evil but just to make a point. To complete my theory I'm giving the example of the last Michelle Pfeiffer movie. You may think it's very light, but it actually has a message undercover in such subtle way. What's the value of our appearance if in the inside we are ugly or simply poor (that is even worst) ? I mean, you can be labeled or Fashion head to toe (and still don't have any class or attitude) and feel so miserable and poor inside, what is that doing to you ? When we get old, beauty vanish. If you are a truly beautiful person, the complete package, your wrinkles will resplendent your natural beauty because you inner self shines. Botox can't do that for you. Its all inside.
Talking about this, I will take the opportunity to talk about a book that intrigantes me The Secret. When I first knew about it I thought " OH NO! A Da Vinci code of self help ", after some truly interesting people teach me more about the real meaning of it and after I got over the shock of the horrible graphic Design (at least the Portuguese version can't get any cornier), I start reading it with an open spirit, it couldn't hurt, right ? Well...I fond out that...my life philosophy is in such good direction. I advise any one to ready it. I am certainly not talking about the miracles and blah blah blah but about the fact that we control our lives and positive thoughts attract good things.
Other thing that I have learned this weeks is, even though they don't read Oscar Wilde or Marcel Proust or even John Ruskin, the ladies who I work with love to read, and that is curious. How come some "rich" or considered rich people don't really understand how reading its so important to the human being. Books are the friends we would not meet in our regularly bases. The experiences we would not get in these lifetime.
By the end of this post I feel like those nerdy pseudo Intellectuals but also happy that I actually could write about something that doesn't include fashion as the Star of my blog. I like fashion, but these days I guess you can take good care of your appearance and look gorgeous just by being natural.

P.S.- Ok ok....Zara fall collection it's BRILLIANT! I needed to pass this news. To all addicted people like me, this is the revenge for the horrible last season of boring collections. I bought a blazer that is really like the Balenciaga runway prep look with those horrible heel shoes that look like mountain boots. HOW CAN ANY ONE LIKE THAT !?!??!?!??! Clearly these high heel trend is for people who don't walk all day in the streets, and live in a city where there isn't up and down roads (San Francisca style with Portuguese street floor...all those little holes in the sidewalk are so gooooood for pumps).
I guess it's all for my lovely Friday Doodles. Have a pleasant weekend and....I AM SO ENJOYING MY FREE MANICURE; PEDICURE AND FREE HEADWASH WITH MASSAGE AND HYDRATATING MASK...muahahahahha!

OH! And one more thing, the only thing the human being needs besides good health, is work. I feel so happy now that I am really working. It is the most gratifying experiences I had since I win my first match at fencing (not that I got first place or anything...but it felt good any way).

Great forgotten shoes



Even when All Star became the Teen Choice for the "cool" shoes over and over the years, Superga became some years later the European version of the shoe you can where every where with everything. They are simple, clean, and comfortable . The only thing bad about them is that they are hard to find.
Talking about great comebacks that are used by Teen Vogue in their photo shoots. This are my Teen choice (I have to enjoy this therm while I am a Teen).

P.S.- I am with a lack of inspiration, AGAIN...it could take a while, but don't worry. " I'll be back " - Arnold Schwarzenegger LOL

If only she wrote in English...

Even though I have my personal favorites when it comes to other peoples blogs, I must say I am totally addicted to this blog.

If only she wrote in English!!!! For me it's one of the best fashion blogs ever!

MARRY ME ALEX TURNER!


So I thought why not make it official ? I am with a serious dependency in Alex Turner's voice (for the ones who don't know, he is the vocalist of Arctic Monkeys). For me is maybe by far one of the best bands ever besides "my" Oasis (I also have my thing for them). Is it something with the British accent ? I don't know, the thing is that I will be in the front of their concert screaming like a Fluorescent adolescent (or maybe not...). Go see their site, it's awesome!

Concert July 18 in Lisbon...in case you want to come. :)

Here are my favorites!


* writer note

Jeez...well I was reading my last post and I must say that or I was in the influence pre-hormonal stuff or some of the movies I've been seeing are making me a little melodramatic. Any ways...you get the point.

The real thing about money


This is a subject that made part of my thoughts all year long. Thinking if you had it how not spend it, and if you didn't have it, in what would you spend it. It's like there are always this popup windows appearing from the no where, telling you that you have bills to pay and food too buy. It amazes me how money seems to burn in our hands.
My relationship with money have been changing over the years and so does the way I see it. When I was little I didn't had any idea of how much anything really worth and how cheap or expensive something could be. Years later I began using it but still I wouldn't have any conscience of the meaning of it. It was until my parents divorce that I really discover how money affects people and how does it make the world go around (I did have some clear ideas about it but never like this). Now its scares me so badly that I wish I never told my mom when I was little that I wanted to be rich. It scares me how it affects people, how people change for it and how egocentric, and selfish a person can become if they have money without any education to support it.
It amazes me how some girls my age think that is so easy to earn it or how they buy stuff, regular and usual stuff like toothpaste or body moisturizer without actually thinking of the cost of it.
I used to buy it all without any concerns and now, when I look back, I think how could I splurge in that things ? I guess you only give the value to things when they are hard to get. I see people who don't work and complain about everything when they should be feeling blessed for having food on their fridge or to have what it takes if you have any emergency. For some time, I didn't had that. It was "funny" how my classmates wanted to buy expensive materials for our works and I couldn't spend 1€ if I wanted to have lunch the next day...and no I didn't have the courage to ask my mom for money when she was having all the bills and our house to pay.
I ask my self, how can people be so selfish when they have their life's economically balanced ? How can they complain about stuff that its only a matter of power of willing and not a lack of finessing problems ? HOW ? How can girls and some woman complain when they have husbands or parents holding their backs ?
I am really positive that money isn't every thing, but it helps. When some girls are posting about shoes or planing their next shopping spree, I am actually worrying about when can I have the $ to go to the dentist to see what is the pain in my gems (actually its the teeth that grow when you are about 18 to 20's and they hurt a lot) or when can I take off a mark that I have on or the worst of all, going to a physiotherapist to treat my knee, so I can make sports again and actually fence again.
It bothers me when people ask what do you want for your birth day and when you say something like a trip to a doctors, money or something that its really what you need and not some more stuff, they look at you like you are asking for the world. Funny, isn't it ? People actually prefer spending on "trash" instead of giving something that you really need.
I don't know if I am going to be rich, what I definitely know its that I prefer to be happy. Money makes people ugly. And what I really can't understand, is how banks rob you. How the gas, water our electricity Co. elevated their prices in the end of the mouth when most of my Country (besides the corruption who go jogging to exotic places and make this big trips and I am not even speculating about how they get that money, its scary and dirty) doesn't win the half of what they ask (the companies), as their salary! And what is even more hilarious is that it seems no one cares or there isn't any journalist with enough balls to write a story about it! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ?!

You know what ? Forget all what your parents and teachers told you. You have to be a coward, or selfish, stiff , or a human being with out character any moral and principals if you want to have money in your pockets to survive or to provide the minimum to your children. It's a mix between smartness and opportunism....orrr you can be a smart person like Bill gates or Bono, but not every one has that opportunity or what it takes to get that.

What is the meaning of all this if when you die we all end the same ? We are dust and in dust we end so why do we care for all of this ? Its not like we can take our personal belongings and our Miu Miu with us (for the ones who have Miu Miu) like the Egyptian thought. Why don't we start enjoying what makes life so special and unique ? By the time it is going between our fingers its too late and we think about all the time we waste thinking in money.

Think about it and take a look around you and see if its worth losing what nature gives too us.

Little changes change my world


I love Moleskine note books


Since I can remember, there were this little changes in my life that totally changed my perspective of the world. It would be a new haircut, a different shower gel, a new book, new perfume or my favorite, the start of a new Notebook. They all made me think that some how there was arriving a new period in my life and that was time to move on.
This still happens to me today! I don't know why, but I have this thing for changing. I love the change and I think you can always learn from it (mostly if its a difficult one).
So, I changed my shower gel, and my perfume and that it's because I associate the smells to people and to eras. With a new smell it means that is new people in my life.
I changed my notebook and that means that somehow I have change my way of thinking. And Finally the haircut! I am thinking about it for so long. In the beginning of this year I had really long hair, then short, then even shorter and now I want short short....ahahahah. It would represent more responsibility and more freedom in my way of thinking.

And you...? How does your little changes affect your world ?

Why second when you could be the first ?


When I was a Maria Sharapova addicted (and that was before I read her interview at Teen Vogue), she had one quote that is going to be in my head for ever:

"I am not the next someone, I am the first Maria Sharapova"

Well, now a days I am always seeing posts and titles saying "is she the next Kate Moss?". I actually think that we shouldn't substitute Kate (even though I don't like her very much). She was an Icon and should be known that way no matter what. As for the new models, for some of them and maybe all, it would be a compliment being compared to Miss Moss, but I also think it would be amazing for any model if they were known for their name ONLY and not the next Kate or someone. Every one is an individual and should be known as they are, one of a kind.
