Blog meeting comment

One more Sunday of blog meeting. And, once more, fun-fun-fun!!!

I have written here a few times about these meetings and, as crazy as it may seem, it is always so great to see and meet these ladies that religiously read the same lines and the writers themselves.

'Dia de Beauté', 'Oficina de Estilo' and 'It Girls' are huge blogs here in Brazil (I am not sure how many visits they got per day..) and this is the third time a meeting is promoted by their owners.

The meeting is really casual and fun, it's just us girls talking about make-up, clothes, trends and behaviour!

I video recorded part of the meeting, but, unfortunatelly my camera battery died. Therefore, I didn't record it all! I missed the complete 'Oficina de Estilo' speech.

Everything I recorded is above! It is all in Portuguese...sorry! I couldn't persuade all girls to talk in English! hahahaha!!! I just started learning how edit video files and I hope I will subtitle the videos to come.

Mais um domingo em que eu estive no encontrinho de blogs! Graças todos os santos que consegui lembrar no sábado à tarde, eu consegui uma vaguinha final! Foi uma delícia como sempre! Afinal, o que pode dar errado num encontrinho promovido por pessoas tão bacanas e que reúne queridas espalhadas pelo país para falar de beleza, moda e comportamento?

O encontrinho é promovido pelo 'Dia de Beauté', 'Oficina de Estilo' e 'It Girls'! Blogs que eu leio compulsivamente no meu dia-a-dia!

Parece loucura encontrar pessoas internéticas na vida real, mas dá super certo! Conheci a Celina, que me sugeriu a escreveu em Português também, da Luxos e Luxos, que eu adoro porque sempre me visita e deixa comentário aqui!

Levei minha câmerazinha pink e gravei o encontrinho em filme - aliás, apenas parte dele - porque a bateria da câmera me deixou na mão no meio do evento! Tudo o que eu gravei está aí em baixo! Espero que gostem!

Cidade Jardim mall

Yesterday, after work, I visited the newest hot shopping spot in town, the Cidade Jardim mall. It opened last week and has Daslu, legendary Brazilian clothing boutique, Louis Vuitton, Hermés, Tifanny's, Bose, Longchamp, Reinaldo Lourenço, Carlos Miele, among other luxury temple stores.

It was really a flash visit! I got there at 9:30 p.m. and the stores close at 10:00 p.m. I didn't get to see it all yet, but it is really amazing! The Spanish clothing store chain, Zara, is the low-end option of the mall....that often it is expensive enough for my tiny income =]...

(I need to share this fact: I tried a pair of jeans at Zara and a size 4 fit me!! I got so happy! It has been years since the last time I was inside a 4! I got emotional..didn't buy it though...)

I had an acquisition there! Ha! I bought a perfume at Tania Bulhões. Its owner is a socialite that originally started her business with a home-decór store and just recently started a frangrance line.

(I had been looking for a new perfume for a while - it has been more than a year that I don't wear a perfume on my daily basis, ugh! - and I couldn't find one that pleased me. I liked the Aqua di Parma Iris Nobile, but I found the price outrageous here in Brazil, and I didn't find it at any Duty Free store or anywhere else at Buenos Aires during the last trip.)

The perfume I bought is called 'White Tea' really a delight, simple, discrete and truly sophisticated. I was impressed by the whole line of frangrances there. (sorry, as far as I know, there isn't any gadget that I can upload smells)

Shopping Cidade Jardã

Ontem, depois do expediente, eu fui ao novíssimo fervo do consumo, o Shopping Cidade Jardã (Jardã só para ser mais chic). Como todos sabem, o shopping abriu na semana passada e tem Daslu, Louis Vuitton , Tifanny's, Reinaldo Lourenco, Bose, Carlos Miele e outras referências do luxo!

A visita foi vapt-vupt, realmente só para matar a curiosidade (eu tentei ir no sábado passado, dia que o shopping abriu para a plebe, mas a fila de carros estava redécula...eu e o boyfriend nos recusamos em ir ao shopping poderoso, tendo que enfrentar a fila horrorosa)...pois continuando...cheguei lá ontem às 21:30 e fecha às 22:00. O Cidade Jardã tem Zara, que é a opção mais povão mesmo, que (geralmente) já é cara o suficiente para mim.

(Preciso dividir este fato: mesmo com o pouco tempo de lojas abertas, eu experimentei uma calça jeans na Zara - NÚMERO 36! E coube! Nossa, emocionei mesmo! Faz eras que uma 36 não fecha em mim!)

Bom, fiz uma aquisição lá no shopping! Comprei um perfume na loja da Tânia Bulhões! Nunca tinha ido a uma loja da TB, sempre fiquei super intimada em ir lá no Jardim Europa, mas amei! Olha...o perfume custou R$ 75, o que é beem abaixo do preço médio dos perfumes (dos importados, pelo menos!). Eu fiquei boba de ver a sofisticação da linha de fragrâncias da loja e também tem outros creminhos, gloss, sabonetes bacanérrimos! (p.s.: O perfume que eu comprei se chama 'White Tea'.)

End of broken-nail fuss


Are you the kinda of gal that gets upset whenever your nails break? Is that really frustating to you? The fuss is over.

In a beauty shop in Buenos Aires, I saw an ultra-glamazon talking about this amazing product that hardeners the nails. She was talking about how good it was because her super dermatologist and manicure recommended it.

Driven by her certain, I was forced to buy. I don't have the most fragile nails, but my tips always tend to split. The product is by Mavala (picture beside) and it costs around US$ 17.50.

Well, I tried and I already can notice the difference! My nails have got significantly stronger! Super Nails!

¡Saludos argentinos!

Chicas, here I am in Buenos Aires! There so many Brazilians here that all the store vendors have already learned Portuguese.

I did not buy many clothes, but aquired all the items I planned to buy on my beauty list.

Recoleta, Palero Soho, Palermo Hollywood and Galeria Pacifico are the it places for shopping for in Bs As!

I have to confess that I have NOt been able to refuse the delicacies sold here. This country is know for its exquisite dulce de leche and tender steaks! Everything is cheap and I might be splurging too much!

Hasta!
