It's all about tees!

Uniqlo has a a tee-based campaign with our it girl Chloe!

You need to acquire a tee for yourself or even ressucitate those old ones forgotten in your closet. The item may be printed with statement lines, cool designs, cartoons or with earlier decades reference.
For me, the fun aspect of the tees is its non-judgement of body shapes (any figure is able to dress it well), its comfort, and the personality expression (if you are loud, you can wear it with super bright colors and strong statements; and if you are timid and self-absorved, wear it in a more-discrete palette).

Look at the little airplane! (~ Olha o aviãzinho!)





















I have been working tons and didn't have much time for research and posting.

Look at these finding at The Spoon Sisters! When I was a kid, I used to eat too much, if I had these utensils, I would be ginormous!

What I am listening to

Taylor Swift - I'm Only Me When I'm With You

Fresh day

A sweet suprise was to read my name mentioned today at 'Oficina de Estilo'. It may sound silly, but I got happy about it!

The day started fresh and light, because tomorrow is Labor Day! ! But maybe I will have to work =[.

Yesterday, I didn't post much because it was a busy office day! Researching for interesting topics now.

Georgina frightens Serena at GG

Today the CW channel shows episode 15 of Gossip Girl - season 1. Apparently, it is about a girl called Georgina that knows a secret of our dear Serena that can ruin her life. Looking foward to watch it tomorrow at YouTube, out of the kindness of the quickest uploader.

World's best chocolate cake


I went to a store called O Melhor Bolo de Chocolate do Mundo (World's best chocolate cake) and ate the delicassy on Sunday

The are only two versions on sale: milk chocolate cake and dark chocolate cake. I chose the dark and it is really yummy!

Try it! The address is Rua Oscar Freire, 125.

What I am listening to

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

The singer of the moment, top on US and UK charts!

Urgent shopping!



Yesterday at 'Dia de beauté', it was a blast as I already mentioned. The girls also shared some makeup tips and recommended some products. They talked about a item called Thermal Spa Water, that I had no clue what it was...I felt like an outsider (just for a moment!...rs!).

This Thermal Spa Water is a 'highly concentrated water with 15 mineral salts and trace elements, to soothe the skin and reinforce the skin’s natural protective function. It is recognized for its soothing properties and is an essential complement to any skin care regimen'

At my lunch hour, I hushed to the drugstore to get one to myself. By the way, I needed a sunblock and I bought Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock, that comes in spray. I already tested the last and the lotion is unbeliveable light, refreshing and smells delicious.

What I am listening to

Duffy - Mercy

Guys, I have already posted this song here. But I am simply addicted to it. Here is the American video clip. The previous is the British version. Listen to it!

Power Rangers


Fierce!



Christian Siriano is the winner of the last season of Project Runway. I watched all the episodes at YouTube and was amazed by his talent and personality. Check it his creations here.

'Dia de beauté' quick peek

REALLY quick!

Jump and shoot a pic!




















Just as anybody else, I seek fun! These days I have been having loads of fun and laughing out of taking pictures floating in the air! Try that too! The pics look awesome!

I felt like a bird

This is my skydiving video!! Do it too! It is the best feeling ever!

'Dia de beauté' meeting

My morning ritual includes showering, hair-blowing, teeth-brushing, driving to work and visiting the blogs 'Dia de beauté', 'It girls', 'Oficina de estilo', 'Bem-casadas', 'Design*Sponge', 'Desire to Inspire', 'PrataPorter', among others.
Today I had the pleasure to participate of a 'Dia de beauté' meeting, promoted by its writer Victoria Ceridono. She has just joined the Brazil Vogue Beauty writing team and is working with a celebrated make-up artist here called Duda Molinos .

The meeting was a brunch at Braverie where girls interested in fashion and make-up got together to meet each other and chit-chat a bit about their/our shared interest. D went to the meeting to accompany myself as a deal (skydiving-brunch) we made on Friday.
I have to confess to I was terrified to go and not have talking material, but I am happy that I did go and I support/incentive every blog or other web channel to do it (I am crossing my fingers to someday be able to promote something like that! =]).

It was simply a delight to meet so many beautiful, smart and intriguing ladies. I met Fê Resende (from Oficina de Estilo), Alê Garattoni (from It Girls), Constance Borges (from Bem-Casadas, that I already kinda met from school) and Victoria Ceridono (duh!)!!! Yaayyy!!! Among the non-bloggers, I adored you too, but I am terrible with names...forgive me, girls!

Brilliant idea - pic 04


Getting back on my feet.

Brilliant idea - pic 03


Brilliant idea - pic 02


Brilliant idea


Today I had the most brilliant idea.


I woke up at 6:30 am and drove to Boituva (a city nearby São Paulo). Then I got on a plane and rode it til it was 12 thousand feet high. Then, the idea came to me! I opened the plane door and dove into the sky.


Yes, I did skydive today!! It is an undescritable feeling of freedom and a big flush of adrenaline runing in your body! I strongly recomend it!!! Thank you Stefan Banic (the parachute inventor)!

Friday, April 25, 2008

SKYDIVING tomorrow!!!!!!!!

This video is NOT me!!

I am going to Boituva, a city, nearby São Paulo, to skydive!! I am super scared/freaked right now!! Maybe I will chicken out! Let's see!! Wish me luck and guts!

Happy B-Day, Rena!!!

My dearest and favourite cousin is celebrating her B-day today!! To me, she is like a big sister and I truly adore her!!

In the early ages, my mom used to make some girly clothes for us and we had to wear them and take pictures at the main square of the Yoshimoto hometown. It was quite embarassing =s

When it's time to eat, it is hard to stop us! Don't show us any ice cream, because we will eat it all.

We sang and danced together to all the Spice Girls hits! We bought every magazine, lollipop and card that was related to the Spice Girls.

When we studied at the same school, sometimes we went to the hairdresser together - Soho - and had amazing haircuts!! We felt fabulous!

Renata used to love her Adidas training pants just because Sporty Spice wore them too. I followed my 'big-sis' and also loved thosa pants just as much.

We have many delightful childhood and teen memories together and we are now young ladies pursuing our dreams and working a lot!!

Lot of love and happiness to you, Re!! Love you too much!! (rs!)

Location! Location! Location!!!!


Boyfriend, D. and I went to a pizza restaurant Bendita Hora yesterday. The pizza is good, but not the best here in town. The best about Bendita Hora is the place itself that really surprised me with all its charm and good vibe.

D. and I were blabbing about how much we wanted to celebrate our birthdays this year with a nice party! We agreed that celebrating both dates in one party would be a great solution since we share many of our friends.
We figured out liquor, food, decór, guest gifts, DJ, sound struture and press (our blogs). The only thing that is missing is the place to do it!! Do you own any place we could borrow for one night?

The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found the video!!! I think it's new!

My blueberry nights


I saw the movie 'My blueberry nights' on Saturday afternoon. It is a marvellous and inspiring story about Elizabeth (played by the talented Norah Jones) that goes on a journey thru America and learns more about love and herself thru intriguing characters she meets on her journey.


It is a fantastic romantic story, portraited beautifully by Kar Wai Wong. I strongly recommend it!

Bought a mannequin


I just bought a mannequin today at mercadolivre.com.br (Brazilian ebay) to practice my sewing.
I have millions of beautiful garments in my mind.

Sewing classes


I am looking foward to my sewing classes that start next Saturday!!

Bistrot on Saturday


I went on a date with my extra-loved boyfriend on Saturday night. We went out to dinner at Ruella, a cute and exquisite Fench bistrot here in São Paulo.

Kobe Bryant jump!

I don't know if it is real. But impressive!

Don't pollute and enjoy the freedom of a BIKE!


São Paulo has the worst traffic system ever! The city is gigantic and pulic transportation is not enough and of any comfort.


In my dreams, I would ride a bike to work...it's a non-pollutive and practical transport. Moreover, it is an excellent exercise!
It is not very appliable for me, because of security issues...


Bikewise, I wish São Paulo was more like Tokyo.


Tights rainbow




In this autumn - in Brazil - I plan to splurge on colorful and fun tights!!!

Poligamy in Texas

Today news are talking about the poligamist compound in Eldorado, Texas. The group is FLDS - fundamentalist Latter Day Saints or fundamentalist mormon.

This segment in the mormon church increase the bad judgements about this church from outsiders, which may be very unfair. I am not mormon, but, during my foreign exchange student in Oregon, I spend my year with a mormon family (not fundamentalist), went to church with them every Sunday and I truly respect their faith and teachings.

Of course, what was found to be happening in the Texan compound doesn't look right to me.

Condo as VP

There is a rumor today that Condolezza Rice may be the candidate for Vice-Presidency, along with John McCain. I don't know much about Condo's thoughts and lines of government, so I can't say much about it.

By the way...found the glasses!

My glasses were hidden somewhere at my parents' house. I am wearing them now, just to give my eyes some days off.

Campaign for Sephora in Brazil


I love visiting Sephora website. For me, it is like make-up wonderland.

I want it all, but I can't buy anything - lack of money and terribly-high delivery rates.
I wish there was a Sephora unit here in Brazil.

Steady-state

There are the moments when everything around you stop. When millions of the best memories come to your head and your heart overflows with gratitude. When you can't stop smiling and the you try to hold your tears inside. When you try to think about luck and destine. When everything that is pushing you down becomes pink and fool.

I have the best friend, 'sister', partner in crime and carpooler. Nobody can have someone in life the way I do.

We've cried together. We've laughed together. We've got crazy together. We've did the best party ever together. We've enjoyed the cheapest Carnival together. We've overtanned together. We've ate together. We've bought balloons together. We've danced together. We've danced together. We've danced together. We've danced together.....Oh! We've danced soooo much together!

I was just honored by a beautiful text she wrote to me! She calls me crazy. But crazy I am not! I am wise - a least a little - to be able to have, preserve and fight for the best friendship ever.

I will always hope for the best in her life as I do now. I love you too.

April 1st

I just remembered that today is Lie Day here in Brazil.

Pera, the cat


Following Gwyneth Paltrow, that named her daughter Apple, I named my cat Pera.


Pera means pear in portuguese.


Maybe it doesn't make any sense, the only reason my cat's name is Pera is because it sounds nice phonetically.

Hair-growing acelerator. Would you buy it?

I cut my hair medium-short in the second year of college (2005) and I've been keeping it like that.
Now....I want it to grow!! But it refuses!!

I and my best buddy Déia decided to develop a hair-growing acelerator. We will get filthy rich!

Have you seen my glasses?

I haven't taken my contact lenses out for ages and my eyes would appreciate a little vacation from them...
