Memorable 2011 Outfits

Reminds me how much I had fun creating every ensemble I´ve shared in 2011. Hello 2012!

Living Room Inspiration

Every time we visit Juliana's home (our wedding godmother) the dream of having my own home becomes stronger taking her living room as an inspiration. I really find her living room beautiful, cozy and comfortable, well ventilated  and well lighted and should I need to mention clean.  Love how everything complements the whole ambiance. But you know the best thing about this structure is that a happy family of three resides in it and where every member is very accommodating.

Sparkling Blue Smoky Eyes

A combination of black, shiny purple and dark blue eyeshadows. Smoky eyes you can try for the holidays.

Maxi Dress

Got invited to a 9th grade graduation ball last night both for a photography engagement and dance party. Donned an old maxi dress, made my hair into a chignon and completed the look with a nude make-up. The dress was originally with a lace ribbon that you can tie on the back or in front. I had it altered recently by using the same lace ribbon as an accent to the chest and permanent lace straps. Viola! a whole new dress. Am happy that the dressmaker made it the way I wanted it to be. The graphic design of the dress and the way it flows gave it a 70s vibe. Did my own hair and make-up.

Dress from Kissaman Andradas (they have another branch somewhere in Metro Sao Paulo)

Biancs in red gown - the graduate. She´s that tall at 14 yrs old. Biancs could me a model but she´s quite shy. Thadeu with me on the left photo dancing the traditional waltz. Felt like a debutant. It was one great night!

Nivea Brasil Projeto Fashion Black & White

Remember when I blogged about Summer Neutrals (here), submitted the look to Nivea Brasil´s Projeto Fashion Black and White in partership with two famous brazilian bloggers. Today, a partner blogger Um Ano Sem Zara chose my entry (w/another 2) for her blog. Am just overwhelmed by it. Call it fulfillment.

Minimal Lady Gaga

For Vanity Fair January 2012 Lady Gaga goes minimal. Well, with or without clothes, in costume or regular outfit she is an ICON.

Street Style Nudity?

Only in Rome! Street style has gone far. Give me your thoughts. Is this proper? Men would definitely love this. As for me, this is too much. Nudity on the street is something that wouldn´t gain my respect. Anyhow, I salute this italian girl for having that courage. She has a pretty face and nice boobs. Her ensemble too fascinated me - an all-black ensemble with a pink clutch, tailed skirt and a wedge. Gray socks is off for me though.

Weekend Inspiration: Go 70s

Plaid shirt , high-waisted skinny jeans, and wooden wedge heels - way to rock your weekend partying.

Happy weekend everyone!

Drool : Celine Bags

Dying to get my hands into one of these celine bags. Third photo above as my fave. These are part of the Celine Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.  Another Christmas gift idea for you guys. Price range is US$ 1000 - US$1500.

Emma Watson in Pencil Skirt

Ms. Hermione Granger! Wow! Emma Watson in Jason Wu. Now that´s how you wear pencil skirt elegantly. Hair that is cropped as an added appeal. The look just stunned me. Well, made me miss wearing pencil skirt which I used to don most of the time during my corporate days.

AMA 2011

My picks! Taylor Swift, J. Lo and Heidi Klum.

One Sweet Day

We are on the third month of spring 2011. The weather is still inconsistent as compared to last years. Yesterday was one sweet day with the sun shining brightly with a bit of chills. Just perfect - shown off a little skin and felt the sun without getting sweat. Need I say without make-up melting even staying under the sun for hours.  Went to the lake again to feed fishes and watch them swim. They're really healthy and could be a sumptuous meal..if only we´re allowed to catch....

supposed to be a top for an average brazilian girl. suits me as a dress being petite. love the sleeves.

Fallin´in Love with BONO

We got a puppy! His name is BONO, 45-day old cutie from a pastor bitch. Unlike Jose Eduardo I don´t really like dogs. BONO is the first puppy am starting to love. I grew up not having a dog or any pet at home. Thus, am kind of distant from any animal aside from the fact that am not entertained at zoos. After having BONO for few days, I´ve started to understand why others have that much "amor" for pets. BONO is like a real baby who´s getting all the attention from everyone in the house. For the first time am caressing a dog. I feed and check him the moment I wake up. Besides, it makes me real happy seeing my hubby playing with him. Giving me an assurrance that when our human baby arrives, he´ll be the best daddy in the world.

he´s going to be a spoiled doggie

BONO you need to grow real brave so we can put off calling the police in the middle of the night whenever Jose Eduardo hears something. Brave enough to guard our house day and night.

 kind of camera shy for now

refreshing color blocking outfit for a sunny day outdoor activity with BONO. shorts SM surplus, flats Ana Capri avail at CIA Calçados, necklace & bracelets mom´s closet, green top Hering, vintage jacket

Before we went out today I was trying on gold necklaces for BONO...

Jose Eduardo : " Baby he´s a boy".

Me: Awwww... :) (want him to be a gay dog). why not?!

F I E R C E N E S S

Crop top. Braided hair. Extra large earrings. Denim shorts. Fierceness to sum it all up. On being a woman I would consider myself fierce. The persistent gut to try anything she wants no matter how difficult it may seem is exactly what a fierce woman should be. The infinite strength that she possess in all the cirmcustances she may face. In fashion, being fierce is feeling fabulous regardless of what color, size, age and height you have - creating you own style from just being you. Cheers to all fierce women out there!
