Hello everyone! I see every one (specially Hooligans) loved my latest post, about Vanessa Martins on Bruno Mars' video "It Will Rain ". Gosh I still feel the goosebumps. As I said before, I will keep an eye on her, and it will be posted here, on your blog ;) Anyway, I thought I'd just let you gush over this new collection from Burberry Prorsum - legend on the classic and chicest trench coats. Please bear with me, I'm a sucker for fashion weeks and collections, and fashion houses. And Fashion.

Hey guys, How was your weekend? Mine was the bomb, but I'll be skipping details, only to mention that I have such adoring friends and family *sigh*...Anyway lets get down to business, we're late!! Here's the follow up of my report of Africa Fashion Week. Thoki Tafeni Thoki, I had never heard of her but I'm really positively impressed. Add sexy, white, and romanticism, with an attitude of a Goddess. Loved it.

Hey fashionistas, Ready for round 2? Following my best picks from AFW. Alexander Koutny Alexander Koutny brought us an All Black Everything collection. Clean cuts, bright red lips, and a lot of attitude set the difference, in a good way. I like ;)

Hey guys So, Africa Fashion Week happened and as I could see from the photos, it was AWESOME! The designers are doing outstanding work, and there is absolutely NO WAY we can keep going *unnoticed* by the world. It was great. Here follow some of my favorite picks. Kluk CGDT They presented a very dreamy collection. Full of satins, silks, chiffons and intricate laces, and floral patterns, felt like a Goddess started gliding down the runway. This collection oozes elegance and sexiness.

Hey guys, Coming to clean up the dust, Sorry, I have been more than busy... plus my internet was down. Anyway, lets have a look at what I found in PFW - Paris Fashion Week , shall we?     Dior  After the Galliano scandal , Dior has toned down their collection, while looking for an equally great replacement for the amazing yet unlucky designer.

Hey guys, Hope the weekend was amazing, and that you have remembered to take tons of pictures of your looks to send to me ! Anyway today I thought I could give you the heads up about next summer's big make up trends: as I am sure you, the most fashion-addicted kind, have been noticing even brighter and surprising colors in the runways, red carpets, photoshoots, magazines etc... N E O N is coming to replace all the nude colors and the bright eyes. That is SO last leason ;) Check it out...

Hey guys!!! Summer is coming, days are warmer, and we in the southern hemisfere are still waiting to wear our best color blocking items. Take out of your closet your brightest colors, and get ready to rock this Summer !

 Oi fashion lovers, Ainda continuamos naquela onda de cor e de alegria, mesmo com o Inverno já a dar umas dicas de que está para chegar, nós não nos escondemos não, não vamos atrás daquelas cores mais escuras e sóbrias para aguentar o tempo frio né? Aqui estão elas! As color pop bags são as it bags do momento. Cuidado, estas são apenas para ressaltar um look mais comportado, não para combinar com as roupas em color block , como no post anterior . Já sabes então, próxima saída para compras, procura a bolsa mais fluorescente, colorida e alegre que encontrares.

Fashion lovers , acredito que todos tiveram oportunidade de ver que desde finais do ano passado as cores estão por toda parte! A isto chama-se " Colour Blocking " - Sem tradução literal, significa usar cores fortes e fluorescentes, contrastantes, e que também podem ser combinadas. Exemplo: Amarelo e azul, esmeralda e vermelho, dourado e roxo, enfim! Uma série de combinações loucas e irresistíveis. O nosso Verão está quase no fim, mas cá entre nós, por cá o Verão nunca desaparece de verdade não é? Também podemos aplicar algumas combinações para o Inverno! É só querer ....
