LookBook: Day out of town..

   Day out of town finding lots of goodies for fall! Went to pick up my girlies at school and Bella goes: Mommy, you look soooooo cute!!!!!

   What in heavens would I do without my "gurls"?!

   Anyhow, she took some of the pics and here we are:

 

It all started when my friend Karin went sneaker shopping and asked my opinion, I sent her my look wearing my own!

Then my Belinha started shooting!! Ban, ban, ban

Great hat find at Target (little girls section! Oops!!!) Bird top H&M, jeans Rag & Bone (the best jean I have ever worn!!)

Cardi Forever 21, sneakers Steve Madden, Jewelry Stella & Dot

   Do I have a talented child or what?!

FashionNews: Adele and Burberry, real or not real?!

   Fresh news this morning when yet another designer-celebrity collab is giving people something to talk about. Well, nobody has confirmed anything yet but the news are circulating all around UK and the rest of the world for that matter.

   Adele has worn the label in many red carpet occasions and let's face it, both the singer and the label are so proud to be English that only something really sharp can come out of that mix. Rumor has it it Adele will design "custom-made" clothing for the women with curves! (very much needed, considering the teeny tiny Burberry numbers) And has been approached by nothing less than Christopher Bailey himself!!! So exciting ;)

Can't wait to see what happens!

LookBook: Harajuku-mini

   As my days progress with very little adult interaction, I feel the child inside of me growing stronger and stronger!! hehehe

   So as to pay homage to this little phase I'm going through I put together a look with my newest cute little tee from Harajuku-mini! Yes, in case you're wondering it's Gwen Stefani's line for little ones sold at Target! Now, if you let your inner child out you can actually have a great time picking through those babies, did I mention they're 12.99 a piece?!

   The only trouble is that this was an XL size, so it's not everyone of us who will be able to take full advantage of then, but what I what I suggest if you can't fit in them is to cut out the cartoonish little people and sew it on another tee (one that fits obviously!), a solid basic color works best!

When I tried it on I had a zebra skirt from H&M on and it works perfectly with the tee!

 Keep it colorful with bold nail polish! The look works with boots, flats or even sandals (if where you live it's still warm!) Make sure it's very basic, you don't want all the pieces fighting!!!!!

This look proves that you don't have to feel 80 years-old when wearing a tweed jacket...layer the look with little charm necklaces since the focal point is the print on the t-shirt.

 

 

   That was the fun part! If you are more into the classic equestrian look, I wore the same yellow jacket from Zara in a totally different way. These are nice examples of dressing a piece of clothing up or down. And since we're talking kiddos, here goes a "Day in the Mountains" with nothing less then all of then!!!! 

Hate my face on this one but that's what my 7 year-old Bella took, so let's get pass it ;) Dress the look with a statement necklace and do an instant lift on the outfit. knee high boots, solid white basic tee, nice stretchy pants and you're good to go ride a horse!   

Loose the jacket for a more casual feel

If you switch the blue denim for black this outfit can take you to a night out as well!!

Hope you ladies and gents enjoyed the Friday outfit ideas!! Not a whole lot I can come up with lately living around these parts ;P

Apps for the clothes-minded

Just recently I found another fashion app that I really enjoy. Honestly I have a ton of them but don't really use much except for a couple and since I'm kinda skeptical I wasn't so sure I wanted to download another one of those in my phone, but guess what?! This one is actually fun!!!

http://www.clothapp.com/

"Cloth is an app for iPhone and iPod touch that makes it easy to save, categorize, and share your favorite outfits. The app also lets you send your favorite outfits to this site, for us to post for the world to see."

The cool thing about this app is that it uses your current weather when saving your pics so when you run out of ideas you can browse back and the app gives you choices of what to wear based on the weather conditions!!! The app is free for a limited time, just thought I'd share since I'm lovin' it ;)

And since we're talking fashion apps, another one of my faves is the Trendstop app.

http://www.trendstop.com/

It gives you instant trend alerts and let's you browse trough some great news from the fashion world. I believe this app is Brit so it's even better to get news from the European runways....almost live!

Now, if you're more into the celeb fashions, my go to app is popsugar.

http://www.popsugar.com/

 Amongst celeb gossip they have a section that is exclusive for the "who wore what and where" type of thing. Pretty entertaining when you're waiting on an appointment or on the check out line at the grocery store.

Instagram for sale?!

Instagram is definitely one of the best inventions of this decade, along of course with the best technology made to use this awesome little app! That being said, you can now sell your art from instagram by opening your own gallery!!!

This is what the girl who taught me everything I know about instagraming and cinemagraming and angles and poses and pretty much anything that has to do with photography did! Under the pseudonym of Blairecontrare she has a mind of an artist and is not afraid to try out new stuff....like having a beard and a mustache for instance ;) hehehe

Did that get your curiosity aroused? You've got to check her photos out at:


 http://instacanv.as/blairecontrare

 One of the many "faces" of Blaire!

All art is for sale!!

Hope you guys got a kick out of this piece of news!

Btw, Blaire is responsible for the majority of pictures taken for my blog. What I love about Blaire's vision is that she can make the creepy look interesting and make the romantic not cheesy at the same time.

TrendReport: Wear your White Jeans Now and Into Fall!

That old rule about white jeans not being allowed after Labor Day is as out as any other rule, really!

For one, white is a very strong color for fall 2012, along with coral and cobalt blue - usually colors you associate with spring. Well, I guess this fall will feel like spring ;) - at least in your eyes.

Michael Michael Kors ad campaign is a prime example of the chic and crisp white pant transitioning from fall to winter...And he does it so well with the camel accessories (my favorite way to wear white)!

What I love about the styling on this photoshoot is that the girl wears gold or silver accessories and looks great and on trend either way. Proving that you can do it too!!!

Here's a video showing 10 different ways you can dress up your white denim. Boho blouses are a staple for a sunny day but as the day goes on and it gets chilli, bring a colorful leather jacket or a nice blazer along with you. They make great transitions from office to cocktail hour as well!






As my favorite season approaches, I'm already here celebrating...

Happy Fall everyone!!!

Beijos,
