Picture This! – Alessandra Ambrosio
It’s been a while since I have posted something in this category and today I found this lovely picture of the very pregnant Alessandra Ambrósio. I love this kind of pictures, they have this natural beauty and serenity.
This photo was taken for the jewelry brand Vivara by Mert & Marcus.
Peplum: how to
I reported peplum as a trend back in February. This silhouette is something that is really here to stay, since lots of designers took it to a new level in their Autumn/Winter collections. I really like the way this it looks…in other women, but I especially like to see it on photographs and sets.
These are three different ways to wear the trend in pastel shades:
1. The simplest way: on a dress, for those girls who have completely embraced this silhouette. These dresses look perfect with pumps, since the high heel elongates the legs and makes you look taller;
2. If, like me, you still not so sure about how this looks on you, why not try it in a top, with a pair of skinny jeans or trousers?
3. For a more sophisticated look, you should definitely go for a peplum skirt, with a pair of heels and a tank top.
It’s spring time!
I know Spring started almost a month ago, but I love to celebrate this season and these two pictures remind me of it every time I look at them.
Taken last year with my iPhone.

Don’t you just love being a girl on Spring?

In the mood for…Coachella
I love this time of the year when the festivals season begin and we get to see great looks, ready to party.
Above are some of my festival fashion essentials: lace, biker boots, raffia hats and backpacks, vintage shorts and baggy shirts and lots of floral prints.
Blogger’s Meeting (#1)
I had my first blogger’s meeting this weekend in Oporto, Portugal. There were mainly fashion and beauty bloggers but also bloggers from different categories. I have to say that it was a lot more funnier than I though it would be, since I only knew one of the girls. Of course there were lots of fashion talking and pictures – those were the main ingredients for dinner – but it is great to see that fashion girls also have a lot to say about politics or economy. (No, I’m not someone who believes in stereotypes, but people keep thinking that fashionable people are never smart enough to talk about these subjects).
Mandatory: the “family” picture
Sofia from O Meu Eu Laranja (My Orange Self) did this amazing clutch that reminded me a lot of theses ones.
And here she is with her DIY necklace made of feathers and flowers.

I know I said I would give you more details on the Good Look Good Luck contest, but it will be impossible to do so today, so I’ll be back tomorrow with more news.
Tonight I’ll be attending a Blogger’s meeting in Porto, so I’m pretty sure I’ll have tons of pictures to share this week.
Have a great weekend!
