The Weekend

Gilded structure by James Lee Byars

Our weekend will be replete of children’s activity. Amazing how our lives change after them. It’s all about them, first and for most. An International festival on Saturday and egg hunting on Sunday. I hope you get to do a lot of interesting things yourself and most importantly be happy!

Love this chair. Unfortunately don’t know who designed it.

Green and Brass

More where it came from.

Now that my love for brass, which I’m professing for over two years now, has spread around I’m more certain that real love is the only way to save the world, I mean style. If only the good things were contagious, wouldn’t life be better? Since brass was forgotten and left in absence for a long time, it has staged a comeback for over a year now. It’s been like gold, in the sense that everybody wants a piece of it. And who wouldn’t? The gorgeous metal seems to pretty up everything it touches. Enjoy!

Fashion Trends: Slouchy Leather Pants

Here in Sao Paulo, the Fall season is starting to approach slowly whereas up-north, Spring is approaching. The mornings are becoming a bit chilly and the sun is retiring a bit earlier. I kept yearning for full bright sunny days but I was told this summer was a bit different from the previous ones so I hope next year will be hotter and sunnier. One great thing about Sao Paulo weather is that we actually get to feel all different seasons without the extreme. These coming days, for instance, I’m looking forward to wearing fall season clothes and be able to wear all the cool outfits that we can wear during Autumn. Especially a cool pair of slouchy leather pants. Enjoy!

The chicest: Stripes

Nina Garcia home

I’m back at it! It’s double-checked that I can’t get tired at wearing them, painting them and/or looking at them, stripes that is! Have I ever posted about how chic and prominent they are? Probably a million times by now… and I know there is still more to come because stripes is for sure the chicest of the classics. Enjoy!

J.Crew: Better with the years

That top is my cup of tea. Actually the entire outfit is.

The jewel tones, intrinsic patterns and line cuts in J.Crew Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection kept me yearning for Fall fashion. I really can wear each and every one of their assemblage. According to Style.com, designer Tom Mora, the mastermind behind J.Crew Womenswear was inspired by a trip to Marrakech. I love how subtle and sophisticated his translation of Moroccan exotic design was weaved into J.Crew’s classic lines.
