Fall 2013 it bag: The Handheld bag

With Fall 2013 fashion style making a return to the more lady-like dressy look, so did the bags, it seems that the new it bags will be more serious and business looking this year. The handheld bag. Enjoy!

Style inspiration: Clutch during the day

And this is what I meant when I said yesterday that clutches are very much used during the day now. Not sure if having one of your arms always occupied is a comfortable thing to do, but stylish it is! And only for a short while that’s all we need. Enjoy!

Clutch it: A Clutch Roundup

As small as an evening clutch could be, a fair amount of a woman’s taste could be appreciated by taking a look at the kind she is carrying. I usually used to think of daily bags more than evening ones. That could be because I don’t use to go out at nights much as of lately; you know those things called… kids? Good thing they are not confined only to evening anymore, wearing one during the day seems to be the chic norm now. I’ve been having a crush on the Givenchy envelope clutch for a little while now but I kept waiting or hoping for its price to come down. Until I finally found one online in London at LN-CC for almost half the price as in the US, not even mentioning the price in Brazil. Brazil’s price craziness is without comparison! Enjoy this Clutch Roundup.

Chic countryside part I

Jenni Kayne home

We are driving to the country side this weekend with some friends to breath in fresh air and be eaten up by mosquitoes. But everything for la naturaleza. I’m one hundred percent an urban girl but sometimes I like to escape to the countryside and enjoy the simple life although I’m not quite sure why they call it the simple life, I don’t think there is anything simple about milking a cow, trying to grab an egg away from a mami chicken and waking up at 5 AM by a rooster. All my admiration! Of course all that would be a pleasure if I happen to wake up in either one of these places. Have a great weekend!

A well rounded point of view

As I have mentioned before I love sunglasses not only because they take good care of our eyes but because they also help cover up our worst days. You know those days when we haven’t had much sleep; moms can you hear me? Lately I’m loving the comeback of round sunglasses or how many people refer to them as John Lennon sunglasses. Here is a small round up for those coming up sunny days. Enjoy!

1- Wildfox Bel Air Sunglasses, 2- NYE Sunglasses, 3- Nude round keyhole sunglasses, 4- Lennon sunglasses, 5- Empire shape, 6- Dee shades, 7- wild soul, 8- Metal top, 9- carrington in khaki

Memorial Day you’re so pale

Design by Studio Guilherme Torres

It’s a very thin line from the sublime to the ridiculous when decorating with pastel colors. It’s easier to end up with an adult-size shabby doll house; ouch! than an elegant and refined one. Since I believe or hope, that nobody wants to end up down that road I would only suggest to stay away from whimsically looking furniture or anything too-Victorian. And, please don’t paint them white unless it’s a distressed white. One thing to keep in mind is Pastel colors are those pale tones on the color wheel so pale is not only pink but any color in its lightest degradation. Enjoy!
