Daphness Guinness

Eu vi a Daphne quando ela veio pro Brasil, com a Madonna, e ela parece uma instalação artística.

The September Issue, o doc

* Quando acabei de ver September Issue- doc sobre a realização da edição de setembro daVogue America- minha primeira reação foi me arrepender de jogar fora todas as Vogues de setembro que já tive. Porque elas começam a ser feitas mais de 6 meses antes. Muita gente sofre. E muita foto linda não é usada.

* O filme tem umas breve tentativas de mostrar o lado humano, as motivações, os momentos de tédio, além das grosserias já famosas da Anna Wintour.

* Adoro quando ela conta que se identificou quando o pai, que era um jornalista brilhante, contou que se aposentou cedo porque ele ficava muito bravo e nervoso no trabalho. Parece uma tentativa de se redimir de ser tão difícil e dura. Mas só parece.

* Outra cena legal é quando alguém da revista fala que ela realmente não é acessível, mas que ela é Anna Wintour, não precisa ser acessível. Realmente, a única pessoa não famosa que fala com ela durante o filme fora poucos funcionários diretos da Vogue é a filha dela (que até já é um pouco famosa).

* O mais louco pra mim é imaginar que ela pode, talvez, NÃO ter controlado e manipulado completamente a edição desse documentário. Dá pra imaginar Anna Wintour sendo filmada e mostrada sem sua própria aprovação e controle total? Difícil. Mas é isso que ela e o diretor falam aqui:

* O filme começa com Anna explicando que quem critíca a moda é porque fica inseguro e tem medo desse mundo. Eu adoro. Mas tenho medo dela.

Field of Dreams

I saw this necklace at Free People yesterday and decided I could buy it later, went home.

Then I woke up at 3am, thinking about it.


Ironically, this beauty is called the "Field of Dreams Necklace".

Love.

We thank you Kate for today's source of inspiration towards this summer's bathing suits. And don't worry, anorexia won't work here.

Eu quero ser Alison Mosshart

Eu já achava a Alison Mosshart legal quando conheci The Kills.

Mas desde que ela começou a tocar no Dead Weather com o Jack White, eu comecei a achar ela a menina mais linda, bem vestida, com o melhor cabelo e mais sortuda do mundo.

E nem precisava mas ela canta bem e fica incrível nos shows também.

( a ser confirmado pessoalmente no Coachella)

No chão com Jack White

Com a bota do Hedi Slimane que ela não tira e já falou que tem 3 pares dourados mais uns de outras cores.

Eu nem ligaria de ficar vesga com essa franja l-i-n-da

Oi, eu sou amiga da Kate Moss também

The Most Amazing Pair Of Boots Ever Made By Mankind..

Aah Chanel...

A campanha já saiu há uns meses, mas cada vez que eu deparo com uns desses anúncios em alguma revista gringa eu não canso de olhar

1- como a Lily Allen ficou linda

2- as bolsas de S-O-N-H-O.

Target, Rodarte and Michelle Williams' mini-me aka Tavi

It officially starts tomorrow, though a few stores already have the Rodarte for Target collection on the floor - as reported by New Brahmin (lucky!).

I would be very thankful if Santa (or you, ha) braved the supposed snow storm storm scheduled for tomorrow morning, and got me that cute leopard-print bow belt. I'll be working all day, and sure deserve it.

Boston Fashion Blogger Mixer

Quick post (since I'm the last one registering the most fun event of last weekend).

Thank you Amy, Liana, and Jen for hosting the first Fashion Blogger Mixer at Luna Boston!

We Wish You a Merry Wishlist

... just in case you were wondering what on Earth to get me for Christmas. No pressure, there are items in every price range :)

Roller Derby skates, of the girlie kind if you may. Size 7 1/2, sil vous plait?

Canon 940, since my point-at-shoot no longer points or shoots.

A lifelong allowance from Sephora by OPI. If not, just a coupl'a cool colors will do.

Where magic happens. Cheap, but cute magic anyways.

My Nylon Mag subscription will expire in February! OMG!

Chanel, because Syd is in need of a cute sister with a chic name.

This outfit.

Tickets for SXSW! (I'll take care of the RV rental)

Bust Mag subscription? :)

a shiny disco ball for our NYE White Party (basement dancefloor, that is)

a weekend at the Chelsea Hotel is always welcome

Boys in Cowboy Boots Are Hot

Quick post.

Just wanted to defend my recently-bashed theory that boys in cowboy boots are hot (I was *shocked* when I coudn't even find a single pair of those at Urban Outfitters).

Fear not, vintage stores such as 40 South in JP still have tons of cool styles - and assorted colors - for those of you of the male species that agree with me.

So I gathered these guys here to help me out on my new movement, which promotes the southern charm in New England streets.

Thank y'all!

Thank you Ryan

Thank you Ben

Thank you Bob

Thank you cousins

Thank you Johnny

Thank you Gram

Thank you random group of cool dudes on Google Images

Thank you again BK, that's a pretty interesting pose, too.

Winter Passing

**It's hard to return from vacation. It's harder to return from vacationing in a tropical country. Even harder when the place is filled with family and friends that never get tired to spoil you with delicious meals, awesome parties and tons of TLC. Now, it's practically impossible to leave that wonderland to get back on track with work, routine and yes, WINTER. New England Winter. Not that I do not enjoy the time of the year -- it's my second favorite after the Fall. It's just the change of scenario that makes adaptation a lil' bit more complicated. But there's always a way out, isn't there?

In my case, the solution to missing Brazil/winter depression is based on my calendar. Going to the gym also helps, but basically, if I have all sorts of fun stuff scheduled around the clock during the freezing months, I'm ready to go. Luckily, my friends are no different. When they're not joining my bandwagon, they're coming up with awesome events and small gatherings to drink the low temperatures away.

So we planned a visit to the woman who's now one of our biggest style icons (along with Lady GaGa, obviously): Iris Apfel. The Peabody Essex Museum is hosting the exhibit that takes you on a wild ride through her amazing wardrobe. Insane coats, dresses, jewelry and (yes!) shoes are divided into five separate rooms, and tell a lot about someone who was never afraid to take risks and express her personality and beliefs via fashion. My friend Amy was able to sneak her camera in and take some cool photos, but I got caught right when I tried to snap a shot of Iris' badass leather studded jacket. Too bad. Karen O would be jealous.




**In other related news, I've decided to shake up my holiday decoration with some DIY. Anthropologie's visual team has inspired me to gather friends at home for a cool workshop and try to make our houses look like their AWESOME windows (the outfits can go straight to our closets, thanks):




December 6th, bring ideas and supplies.

**Last but not least, if you're a Fashion Blogger in the Boston area, you should be at least a little curious about this:

Soon, more info at Punky Style, New Brahmin and Jen Loves Kev.

**Next up: battling the winter blues with sewing classes and a roller derby team. I will survive, people.

PS: This post's title is a homage to one of my favorite winter movies of all time. Winter Passing, with my idol (and fashion icon) Zooey Deschanel, tells the story of a girl that returns home to face not only the freezing days of snow, but also family drama and Will Ferrell wearing eyeliner. Netflix Winter Queue!

Sao Paulo Vintage

Today I was lucky to come across one of Sao Paulo´s most famous vintage stores almost by accident. I had plans to try and visit some of them, but definitely not on a rainy Saturday morning, after only 3 hours of sleep. The effort to keep myself awake was totally paid off and the place I ended up at was so amazing I didn´t even feel tired anymore.

Minha Vo Tinha* is a 15-year-old vintage shop in a traditional neighborhood of Sao Paulo, Perdizes. In an old little house, full of different levels and stairways, there are treasures that would drive any of you insane. I spent an hour there, and still felt like I could´ve seen much more. With proper authorization, I was able to take many pictures and roam around for a while. I went back home with jewelry and a clock from the 1940´s. The Polaroid cameras were not for sale -- the store rents memorabilia for film production companies too. That´s how good their stuff is, and how much of it they have.

Here´s my little album. I hope you can tell how absolutely wonderful this shop was just by looking at the photos. Worth a visit when you´re in the city (it´s a shame I've never been there before, I know).

*The store´s website is under construction, but there are many reviews and features on it around the internet. Like this one, this one and this one here. All in Portuguese, sorry English-speaking readers :( I can offer my translation services anytime!
