A few late night inspiration of elegant women wearing graphic sweaters in very sophisticated and chic ways.  Enjoy and G’night!

Can you think of a more adaptable piece of clothing other than a graphic sweater now a days?  Of course there is always the pencil skirt and jeans but graphic sweaters are super easy to accommodate to your styling needs as well.  You can play it up with a nice skirt and heels and play it down as well.  One of the nicest and freshest outfit I saw lately was an assemblage of a graphic sweater, mid-calf skirt and a wedge sneakers, kicks.  I’m ready to buy a few.  Enjoy!

Here in Sao Paulo weather appear to be cemented. Summer percolates into fall and Spring- did it last a day? I kept waiting for summer to arrive to enroll our son Lucas into swimming classes, instead we had a full version of what is a regular fall and tropical winter combined. We’ll enroll him this fall which surprisingly has been a lot more pleasant with more sunny days and warmer temperatures than the actual Summer season. This Saturday will be Festa Junina which is according to Wikipedia “the annual Brazilian celebrations historically related to European Midsummer that take place in the beginning of the Brazilian winter.” For those visiting Sao Paulo, planning is everything when it comes to predictable weather, You’ll need a few layers of clothes in case it gets a bit cold as well as something very light underneath in case this very-unusual-Fall decides to filter back in.  Above all, there is a lot of things to provide you with a great time. Especially the food.  Have a wonderful weekend!

It’s not new this trend of turban headbands but, it’s more and more popular every time. Especially during summer when ladies tend to leave their hair carelessly dry au naturale. There are two types of turbans, one that covers the full head, a closer interpretation of the Sikh turban and the turban headband which is the case in point here. I’m kind of like both styles. The first because it would be of great help in those days when I’m just too lazy to wash and style my hair and the last one for when I wash my hair but, want a fashion statement! How about you ladies, would you use a turban? I realized that a turban roundup would be a great idea for those who want to try them. After all a true fashionista must have fun trying on different trends and ideas. Enjoy!

For short haired ladies, a turban or headband could be great alternative for a quick and easy change of style.

 This is an entire modern-chic ensemble.
Dear ladies, what would be of the world if we didn’t wake up every morning wanting to look pretty and chic in our own skins, wearing the pieces that we delineate as our individual defined-style?  Style is, at any given moment of the day, everywhere and it’s an endless source of inspiration.  These uplifting images here represent only a handful of what is for me modern and chic.  Enjoy!
 Stylish and sophisticated.
 Very personalized and unique outfit.  I love it!
