Wasn’t it fun to watch the Golden Globe Awards last night with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler performing their expertise? I kept laughing all night long until I was way too sleepy to hold it together and gave up. We are three hours into the future here. All ladies were stunning last night, my top favorites were Cate Blanchet in Armani and Caitlin Fitzgerald in Emilia Wickstead. Also loved the stylish pregnant ladies rocking their dazzling dresses on the red carpet. Kerry Washington as always impeccably dressed was beaming in Balenciaga. Having been pregnant myself I can’t even imagine the use of high heels while going trough that process much less wearing a tide dress and looking half as composed as Olivia Wilde looked last night in a green Gucci dress. If I ever get pregnant again I hope I can keep sweating my derriere at the Gym, and eating as healthy as I do now to try to look as stylish and chic as these women look.

Women think of beautiful hair with the same passion as men think of expensive sport cars. Luckily with all the great and affordable hair products out there women have a far better chance of scratching the itch than men. By beautiful hair I mean healthy, shiny, bouncy and manageable hair. No, we are not vain guys, it’s that with healthy hair you can basically do anything you want with it. Cool and pretty things like messy and casual ponytails for example. There are many styles out there, sleek ponytail, low, teased crown, high ponytail, you name it. Ideally this hair style works better on layered haircuts. The first step to accomplish a messy ponytail look is to forget about perfection. Use a fine comb to ruffle up the roots on the top of your head and apply light hairspray, slowly pull them back with your fingertips leaving some loose to frame your face and hold them with an elastic band. Hair scrunchies are not allowed! Finish it up with light hairspray to keep the bouncing from flatting out.
I’ve seen street style ladies with extraordinary upper muscle strength. Ladies who put fashion and style among everything else including their fragile figures. Layering is their thing and it’s my thing too, not only in fashion but also in Interiors but, not at my physical risk. I have seen a few like this: it all starts with a t-shirt, then a V-neck sweater, a cardigan, an open t-shirt, a blazer, an under coat, a coat and another t-shirt wrap around the waist. You know just in case you run across someone in the need of clothes. My back aches at just the thought of all that weight! Layering clothes is exceptionally necessary during strong winters and fluctuating temperatures, like the ones confronting in the States. However I hope in 2014 we get to see a more realistic approach to street fashion without the trivial urgency for clamoring attention. These ladies here show us how to do it tastefully while layering clothes stylishly while making sweaters interesting all while keeping their back health intact.
When Fall was in full bloom here in Sao Paulo I used to wear a lot of sweaters-sweaters with skirt, with pants, with jeans and so on. But a sweater can be a bit blah if considering its regular shape. I think it’s always a good idea to look around for inspiration on how to make any piece of typical garment look more interesting; in this case making sweaters interesting. I like the idea of layering it on top of a shirt, sort of like in a peek-a-boo way. Another great way to wear a jacket or blazer on the shoulders and above all and by far my favorite is to wear a big statement necklace on top. Enjoy!
Amid the hustle and bustle of preparation for Christmas dinner. The heat inside the kitchen, the Christmas decoration of the table, the last minute rushing trip to the Super Market. Thank God there is also the Christmas music, the wine, the conversations and the people we love around us to make up for the stress that every festive anticipation brings. Oh, the preludes to be merry… One may be tempted to get lazy or exhausted and forget planning what to wear. For that reason I’ve rounded up a very affordable and cool selection of party dresses for you to beam that night because you deserve it. Also a good source of inspirations of Christmas in Europe.
