These pictures were taken at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA, a place with gorgeous architecture and design, thanks to Frank Gehry. It was great to photograph there during the sunset hours because the light was nicely reflecting on the mirrored walls. I love how the pictures came out!
Essas fotos foram tiradas no Walt Disney Concert Hall no centro de Los Angeles, um lugar com linda arquitetura e design, graças a Frank Gehry. Foi ótimo para fotografar lá durante o dia porque a luz refletia nas paredes espelhadas. Eu adorei como as fotos ficaram!
I was wearing my beloved pants from Nasty Gal, which I always pair with a crop top. In this case I chose this cute red striped one.
Eu estava usando minha calça amada que comprei na Nasty Gal, que eu sempre combino com um crop top. Nesse caso, eu escolhi esse com listras vermelhas.
After that, we went to the Ace Hotel roof top for a couple of drinks. We also had a yummy soppressata and cheese sandwich because we couldn’t resist! Ace's roof top is comfy, chill and romantic, so I totally recommend this place for a coffee, wine, or cocktail when visiting downtown LA.
Depois de la, fomos para o Ace Hotel para drinks. Acamos tambem comendo um sanduíche de soppressata e queijo muito gostoso, porque não conseguimos resistir! O roof top do Ace Hotel é confortável, romântico, e bate uma brisa refrescate. Eu totalmente recomendo esse lugar para um café, vinho ou cocktail para todos que estiverem visitando o centro de Los Angeles .

Little Black Bikini by Jaime Ashley
I would do anything to be at Manhattan Beach instead of Manhattan NYC today. Of course, I would rather be at the beach wearing this gorgeous bathing suit than inside my apartment hiding from the extreme cold outside. But ok, I will stay strong and looking forward to summer, or my next trip.
Eu faria qualquer coisa para estar em Manhattan Beach , em vez de Manhattan NYC hoje. É claro que eu preferia estar na praia vestindo este biquine lindo do que no meu apartamento me escondendo frio extremo lá fora. Mas tudo bem, vou me manter forte e ansiosa para o verão, ou pela minha próxima viagem.
This bathing suit is from the collection Little Black Bikini by Jaime Ashley. Very stylish but still a casual black.

Read MoreFade to White by Billabong
I am absolutely in love with this airy maxi skirt by Billlabong! As part of their Fade to White Collection, it has a distinct look with many gorgeous tiers and trims. I am very excited to collaborate with Billabong because I have always been a big fan of the brand. Growing up on the coast of Sao Paulo and as beach lovers, Billabong was very popular among me and my friends. We always enjoyed their surf style vibe, and how comfortable their clothes are.
Estou absolutamente apaixonada por saia da colecao Fade to White da Billabong. Eu fiquei muito feliz em colaborar com a Billabong porque eu sempre fui uma grande consumidora da marca. Eu cresci no litoral de São Paulo e sou uma beach lover. A Billabong era muito popular entre os meus amigos. Nós sempre gostamos da vibe surf style, e o fato das roupas serem super confortáveis.
This flowy maxi skirt looks great not only at the beach, but also for dinner or party when the sun goes down. Just add some creativity when choosing different tops, to achieve various looks.
Essa saia longa fica linda não só na praia, mas também para um jantar ou festa depois que sol se por. Só precisa de um pouco de criatividade escolhendo tops diferentes para conseguir looks diferentes.
Anastasia Brow Kit
Maybe you don't give your eyebrows much attention, but they are so important defining your face! Their shape, and size can give your eyes a lift, and your face a skinnier impression.
My eyebrows are short. They don't go all the way to the end of my eye, where they are ideally supposed to end. They are also not as bold as I wish they were and I used to be not satisfied with them. Until the day I found this kit from Anastasia on sale at Sephora. The pencil blends very well with the color of my eyebrows, and makes it look very natural. The brow gel holds my tiny hairs in place, and prolongs the effect of the pencil. Since I bought them, they have become my everyday makeup must item.
Talvez você não de muita atenção para suas sobrancelhas, mas elas são muito importantes para definir o seu rosto! Seu formato e tamanho pode elevar seus olhar, e fazer seu rosto parecer mais fino.
Minhas sobrancelhas são curtas. Elas não terminam no final do meu olho onde idealmente deveriam terminar. Elas também não são escuras omo eu gostaria que fossem, e eu costumava ser insatisfeita com elas. Até o dia em que encontrei esse kit à venda na Sephora. O lápis de sobrancelha combina muito bem com a cor da minha sobrancelha, portanto parece bem natural. E o gel mantem os pelos no lugar, e prolonga o efeito do lápis. Desde que eu comprei esse kit ele se tornou item obrigatorio na minha maquiagem de todos os dias.

It's been only three days since I got back from California, but the disgustingly cold weather of NYC makes me want to go back in time and be at the beach again, with my face in the sun and my feet in the sand!
Passaram apenas três dias desde que voltei da Califórnia, mas esse frio insuportavel e nojento de NYC me faz querer voltar no tempo e estar na praia de novo, com raios de sol tocando meu rosto e os meus pés na areia!
Less than a week ago I was at the beautiful Santa Monica beach, wearing this cute floral dress from The Shopping Bag. Soaking up the sun at the beach in its bright colors made me feel like it was actually summer in the middle of January.
Menos de uma semana atrás, eu estava na linda praia de Santa Monica, usando este vestido floral da loja online The Shopping Bag! Tomar um sol na praia com esse vestido em cores brilhantes me fez sentir como se fosse realmente verão no meio de janeiro.

Hollywood's Best Hike
I arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon. I was super excited to finally get to know “The Golden State”, where the winter isn’t as extremely cold as in NYC. The weather didn’t disappoint me: As soon as I stepped out of LAX, rays of the shining sun hit my skin, and I immediately felt like it was summer again.
In the next morning, we were ready to enjoy some time outside, so we went on a hike that leads to the area behind the Hollywood sign. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the top, and the entire path was very enjoyable. The walking up was not too steep, the weather was deliciously warm, and after every turn, a new magnificent view was revealed. I could not stop thinking how blessed I am for having the chance to see from close what I always saw on the screens.
To make the day even more exciting, I bumped into Brazilian beauty blogger Camila Coelho on my way to the hike. She is even more lovely in person, and it was nice to see her shooting for a Riachuelo (Brazilian fashion store) campaign here in California.
You will get to see many more beautiful Cali locations in the next posts, so stay tuned! Xo

Baby it's cold outside
It's cold again in New York City! I feel like the summer went by so, so fast! As a Brazilian, I think it's needless to say that I don't like the cold and the winter is definitely the least thing I like about NYC. However, I love this city so much, so it's worth dealing with the low temperature: the solution is to find great coats and some tricks like the heattech clothes by Uniqlo to keep our bodies warm.
Está frio novamente em New York City! Eu sinto que o verão passou tão tão rápido! Eu sou brasileira, e acho que é desnecessário dizer que eu não gosto do frio. O inverno é definitivamente a última coisa que eu amo sobre NYC . No entanto, eu amo esta cidade tanto, que vale a pena lidar com a baixa temperatura. Ja que eu não posso mudar o clima, a solução é encontrar bons casacos e alguns truques, como as roupas heattech da Uniqlo para manter o corpo aquecido.
This fur coat I was wearing at Times Square is actually my friend Leandro's coat. He bought it at a thrift store and I ended up wearing it more often than him. It is super warm no matter how little I wear underneath. I wear it mostly because of the comfort of not being cold, but I always receive compliments about how fabulous it looks.
Esse casaco de pele que eu estava usando na Times Square é na verdade do meu amigo Leandro. Ele comprou em um brechó, e acabo usando com mais freqüência do que ele. Ele é super quente, não importa o quão pouco eu vestir por baixo. Eu visto ele principalmente por causa do conforto de não passar frio, mas eu sempre recebo elogios sobre o quão fabuloso ele e.
I love matching animal print with red lipstick: it makes the look extra bold!
Adoro combinar estampa de animal com batom vermelho: deixa o look ousado!

Welcoming the New Year
31 December! Last day of 2014, what an amazing year! Looking back on everything that happened this year, I am satisfied. I am very happy with everything I achieved, for being able to handle a lot of work along with going to school full-time, and still making time to take care of my body and health. This was my first year of living in New York City and I proved to myself that I can handle this crazy and intense city.
31 de dezembro! Último dia de 2014, que foi um ano incrível! Olhando para trás, para tudo o que aconteceu ao longo deste ano , estou muito satisfeita. Estou muito feliz com tudo o que eu consegui, por ser capaz de conciliar muito trabalho e faculdade, e ainda fazer tempo para cuidar do meu corpo e da minha saúde. Esse foi o meu primeiro ano em Nova York e eu provei para mim mesma que eu posso lidar com esta cidade louca e intensa.
Blogging is something that have I wanted to do for a long time, but I don't really know why we, human beings, tend to postpone our dreams. Sometimes we let the fears, and the "what ifs" speak louder than our passions. We can't keep doing that to ourselves. Life is short!
Bloggar é algo que eu queria fazer faz muito tempo, mas eu realmente não sei por que nós ,seres humanos, tendemos a adiar os nossos sonhos. Às vezes deixamos os medos, e os "e se " falarem mais alto do que as nossas paixões. Não podemos continuar fazendo isso com nós mesmos. A vida é curta!
This blog means so much to me and I am very happy I am being able to take it more seriously and do it the way I have always wanted. I am very blessed to count on people who support and encourage me along the way. Thank you to all my dear friends who believe in me! And a huge thank you to my partner Lindsey Thoeng! Without her talent, these pictures would be still just be a dream. She make my dreams come true every day!
Esse blog significa muito para mim e eu estou muito feliz que estou sendo capaz de levá-lo mais sério e fazê-lo da maneira que eu sempre quis. Eu sou muito abençoada por contar com as pessoas que me apoiam e incentivam ao longo do caminho. Obrigada a todos os meus queridos amigos que acreditam em mim! E um grande obrigada para Lindsey Thoeng! Sem o seu talento, essas fotos seriam ainda apenas parte de um sonho.
And for 2015 I want to dedicate myself to this blog even more. I will find the time, to do what I truly love! I want this blog to not be just beautiful and interesting, but helpful and inspiring. I am counting on your comments to make this happen!
Embrace the possibilities of the New Year!
E para 2015 eu quero me dedicar a esse blog ainda mais! Eu vou encontrar tempo para fazer o que eu realmente amo! Quero que esse blog seja nao apenas bonito e interessante ,mas tambem útil e inspirador! Conto com a sua opinião para que isso aconteça !

Knotty Gal Jewelry
The necklaces you are seeing in these pictures are not just ordinary necklaces. They are created by a daughter and mother, both named Nur-E. Together they design the pieces, and after carefully selecting cords and metals, Nur-E mom's talented hands create one-of-a-kind statement jewelry.
My favorite is the Tequila Sunrise. The design of it is incredibly impressive, and the bright colors of it can turn a simple black outfit into a ready-to-party one!
Os colares que você está vendo nessas fotos não são apenas colares comuns. Eles são criados por uma filha e mãe, ambas chamadas Nur -E. Juntos, elas desenham as peças, e depois de selecionar cuidadosamente os fios e metais, as mãos talentosas de Nur -E (mãe) criam as peças.
Meu favorito é o Tequila Sunrise. O design dele é incrivelmente impressionante, e as cores brilhantes transformam um look simples todo preto, em um look pronto para festa!
When you buy a Knotty Gal piece you will be not only purchasing great necklaces or bracelets, but also helping to educate girls in Bangladesh. Knotty Gal donates a portion of their proceeds to a girl's school in Bangladesh, which was founded by Nur-E's grandfather.
To see the entire collection go to Knotty Gal's website.
Quando você compra uma peça da Knotty Gal, você não estará fazendo apenas a compra de otimos colares ou pulseiras, mas também ajudando a educar meninas em Bangladesh. Knotty Gal doa uma parcela de seus rendimentos para uma escola de meninas em Bangladesh, que foi fundada pelo avô de Nur -E.

Shining Bright 2015!
What to wear for New Year's Eve party? This is a question that comes to my mind before thanksgiving and sometimes I can't find an answer until few hours before the party. In Brazil, where I grew up, we wear white to bring good luck for the upcoming year. We strongly believe that the color of our outfit have an influence in what we will be receiving in the following year. If you want a happy love life; you should wear pink. If you want to fall in love for someone; you should wear red. If money is what you desire, then wear yellow. And so on.
However the color white is the standard for a happy year filled with peacefulness, and therefore it is the most worn during New Year's celebration.
Since I've moved to USA I have a hard time choosing what to wear for New Year's Eve parties because I find extremely difficult to find something white and doable in the freezing cold weather of the East coast where I currently live. The past two years I was "forced" to break my tradition and I wore the color I would never, EVER, wear in my country: black.
Honestly speaking, I have to confess that both years I wore black were wonderful years and yeah, maybe the idea of colors is only an illusion my country keeps passing on to the new generation in order to keep some of our traditions alive.
Although I've built that opinion, it is still hard for me to wear a totally black or dark outfit. I haven't decide yet what I am going to wear, and I believe I am not the only one. So here I have my picks to help you to decide! (and maybe you can leave a comment helping me as well haha). The only thing I've decided is that I want something to shine! I already solved my choosing a color problem. I want to welcome 2015 wearing something sparkling, because I know this is going to be an amazing bright year! And luckily I have found good glittering stuff:
Sequin Fringe Dress ASOS $142.13
Pendleton X UO Reversible Open Poncho
Amazed with this gorgeous poncho from Pendleton X Urban Outfitters! It is reversible, which means you can wear both sides: black and white, or inside out white and black, brilliant! And it feels super cozy to be wrapped up in this! I feel like I finally can bring my "blanket" with me outside and look fabulous!
Impressionada com esee poncho lindo da Pendleton para a Urban Outfitters! Ele e reversível, o que significa que você pode usar os dois lados : preto e branco, ou ao avesso branco e preto, genial! Me sinto super aconchegante embrulhada nele! E como se finalmente eu pudesse trazer meu "cobertor " comigo na rua e ficar glamurosa!
#GiveColor with Uniqlo
Uniqlo is a store that I got to know in my first year in the USA. I really liked the store because of their ultra light down coats which are very helpful during winter time. After exploring the store more, I found out how nice their clothes are because they are made in a very good material, plus the price is totally reasonable. When shopping at Uniqlo your pocket will feel like shopping at H&M or Zara, but the pieces are less trendy and more comfortable and practical.
Uniqlo é uma loja que eu conheci no meu primeiro ano nos EUA. Eu realmente gostei da loja por causa de seus casacos leves que são muito úteis durante o inverno. Depois de explorar a loja mais, eu descobri que as suas roupas são de otima qualidade porque são feitas com um material muito bom, e o preço é totalmente acessivel. Comprando na Uniqlo, o seu bolso vai sentir como se estivesse comprando na H&M ou Zara, mas as peças são menos modernas e mais confortáveis e práticas.
I was very Happy to do a collaboration with them in this campaign called #GiveColor. The campaign featured their bright color clothes for a colorful and fun winter! I am wearing everything by Uniqlo and you can find the link to buy the same items at the end of this post! xo!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
This is my first Christmas in New York City and I have to confess that although I love to be here, it's very hard to be far from my family in this special date. Luckily we can FaceTime and feel like we are together.
Christmas is my favorite holiday not only because of the presents and the yummy food, but mostly because is the time of the year that we want to be with the people we love, and tell them how important they are in our lives. Today I am far from my family in Brazil, but I am spending the day with someone who I love so much and makes me feel blessed not only on Christmas day, but everyday, and that is what Christmas is about.
So I am here to wish everyone an amazing Christmas, and I hope you are enjoying and giving this day the meaning it deserves: LOVE. Is all about the love! xo
Feliz Natal!
Esse é o meu primeiro Natal em Nova York, e eu tenho que confessar que embora eu amo estar aqui, é muito difícil de passar o natal longe da minha família. Felizmente podemos fazer FaceTime e sentir como se estivéssemos juntos.
Natal é meu feriado favorito, não só por causa dos presentes e da comida, mas principalmente porque é a época do ano em que queremos estar com as pessoas que amamos, e dizer a eles como eles são importantes em nossas vidas. Hoje eu estou longe da minha família no Brasil , mas eu estou passando o dia com alguém que eu amo muito e me faz sentir abençoada não só no dia de Natal, mas todos os dias, e é isso que o Natal significa. Então, eu estou aqui para desejar a todos um Natal incrível, e eu espero que você esteja curtindo e dando a esse dia o significado que merece: AMOR. Tudo pelo amor! xo
