Today is the start of the World Cup 2014 here in Sao Paulo, Brasil.  The Games kick off with Brasil and Croatia playing the first game after the opening ceremony, which is what I’m really looking forward to watching.  After a premature controversial decision by JLo choosing not to perform in the opening due to “production issues” everything seems to be working in her favor and she’ll be performing the song “We Are One (Ole Ola)” together with Pitbull and others.  Good Luck Brasil! llustrations by Ana Strumpf via Style.com

Today is my husband’s birthday and I’m happy we get to spend it with his parents and our little one, who is not really a little one anymore.  My hubby is a very humble person with one of the most admirable qualities I can only hope I had, patience.  Everyone who gets to know him falls in-love with his enthusiastic personality and kindness.  He will never let you know he already knows about the interesting fact you are telling him, instead he would make you feel incredibly important and smart.  I consider myself incredibly lucky to have him in my life simply because he is the best human being I’ve ever met, and since today is his birthday I’m posting the material things he has always admired and I hope one day be able to gift him.  He prefers everything that looks vintage and simple.  It is also a tradition of my husband to thank his parents, especially his mother on this day.  Congratulations to my mother in-law for having raised such a great person.

One of his favorite places is The Hamptons. Whenever and If we are in a position to buy a piece of land there, maybe all the lots will be taken by then and we’ll end up in North Fork but, it’s ok. Probably by then it’s as chic as the Hamptons itself.

When we first started dating he had a huge leather sofa, in which I kept kind of slipping off and for aesthetic reasons I got rid of it as soon as possible.  Whenever we move again we’ll get his forever “keep remembering me” leather sofa but, this time we’ll meet in between and we’ll be getting something stylish as this if not a chesterfield sofa.

Terry de Gunzburg apartment by Jacques Grange via belle vivir blog

Terry de Gunzburg  founder of make-up line By Terry sought the help of Interior Designer and friend Jacques Grange to help her design her New York City apartment.  Terry and her husband Jean de Gunzburg are serious collectors but not the customary kind.  Their home is far from a minimalist white open space.  The apartment is located in a prewar construction building that has gracious spacious rooms that they have furnished with Art Deco furniture, modern classic pieces as Alexander Calder mobile and a jaw dropping art collection acquired
over the past 20 years.  Damien Hirst, Francis Bacon and other impressive pieces are living in such a natural and effortlessly elegant way that only Jacques Grange is capable of accomplishing.

Currently all you see in street style fashion is the use of over the knee socks.  It’s a current trend that I remember using while going to High School but somehow it always comes back during unpredictable weather like Spring and Fall.  I guess it’s because it’s a clothing accessory that can be styled in many different ways.  It also helps to keep warm during cooler days.  Here are a few images of girls rocking over the knee socks looking great from sexy styles to more conservative ones.

Chic bags under 500 via belle vivir
You may have noticed how bigger size bags have taken the back seat in the fashion world lately.  The current trend in bags is a smaller, slicker bag that has a night time appearance although it’s used during the day as well.  I’m coveting all bags designed by Delvaux lately, mainly the Madame mini which is extremely similar to the Sophie Hulme mini envelope bag.  Sophi’s is a lot more affordable.  Therefore I most likely will end up with the affordable one.  Enjoy!
