 Stunning fur coat
Christine Centenera is the fashion editor of Harper’s Bazzaar Australia and is my top style icon, so far.  There is an automatic *sigh* that comes out of me every time I look at a picture of her rocking one of those perfect outfits.  Her fashion sense is feminine, edgy, modern and a bit futuristic at the same time.  Only her shoes by themselves deserve a trophy.  Judge by yourself!

 Dries Van Noten Spring 2013
Have you guys seen the ransack of checkered fashion that has invaded the runways lately?  I’m always curious about fashion trends on the runways.  Is there a secret Fashion-CIA going on here.  “Marc is coming up with checkered for his spring collection”   The trend is so pretty that it got carried by other designers onto Fall/Winter 2013-2014 in Milan and Paris.  The good thing about all the checkered design is that I’m sure many people have a bunch of them in their closets, so dust-off those pieces out of your closet ladies and start wearing them.  Enjoy!
 Dries Van Noten.  My love!

Love this military-looking visor available here.

I’ve been doing pilates, well on and off to be honest, for more than eight years now and I have to admit that no other workout method works as well for me.  At the moment I am looking for a private studio to start it all over again, after almost six months of doing regular gym workout and not even seeing a vaguely similar result.  I wasn’t always so interested in upgrading my gym clothing, actually I kept using the same sneakers for more than 4 years since I’ve never been a fan of heavy duty workouts such as a.k.a. running, climbing etc.  Perhaps, because not until so long ago, much of the activewear clothing available was tide pants and tide tops and nothing else stylish enough to encourage me to get new gym clothes.  But before we came to Sao Paulo I paid a visit to Nike and found really cool ones available.  I know that stylish selection of gym clothes may not be a good enough incentive to encourage us to hit the gym but it doesn’t hurt it either.  Enjoy!

Hale Berry, boy was she beautiful.  Loved this Versace dress on her.
She can wear anything!
I have to say that it was kind of disappointing to watch the Red Carpet last night or should I say pink carpet.  Was it me or wasn’t the old Hollywood glamour missing from all the ladies so-so-pale and have-seen-before dresses.  You see what I mean here? When the people we look up for fashion sense and style used to get us all going ooh…aahh…wow…amazing and then one day without further notice all starts to fail.  We’re left alone!  At east all the movie nominees were great and I’m so happy Argo F.yourself won!  Not only the movie was excellent but Ben Afleck is so haaandsome…!  After squeezing and more squeezing here are my favs.
Sally Field was stunning in this Valentino dress.  That’s what I like to see on the red carpet elegance, allure and understatement.
Charlize Theron looked flawless in this Dior Couture white dress.  Not a big fan of her hair cut though but she can look stunning no matter what.

Another Dior Haute Couture was worn by Jennifer Lawrence.  I think I liked the back of the dress more than the front though.

It’s been a while since I post one of my lovely color combination.  For today I pick different shades of brown with a touch of red in between.  Enjoy!

ADORE this room with its mix of period furniture, the iron campaign red bed and young mobile.  It’s truly a dream.

This sure looks like heaven to me.

I’m still vacationing in Mendoza, Argentina, a beautiful and relaxing wine region that is a must see and experience for the lovers of wineries, picnics under grapevines and horseback riding on the foothills of the Andes mountains. Does it sound like a dream to you? I promise I’ll be posting pictures along with a small and first-time-visitor (me) guide. But for now I just wanted to share with you a trend that I spotted on the runways of New York Fashion week that has everything to do with women’s greatest love: shoes! Long and mid-calf cutout boots were, per say, wrapping many of the model’s legs on the runways. Fall 2013 might as well be warmer. Enjoy!
