I like to wear

Probably most of my fun during vacation was walking around and taking photos of random-well dressed people around. For some reason, all people here have something in their outfits nice enough for me to have bothered to ask for a picture. Hope at least one of this different looks has somethig to do with your style and inspires you to create your season looks (or, in case you live in Brazil, your next season looks!)

first pic: my sister in a look with amazingly matched colors thanks to her Ralph Lauren skirt, my yellow rain boots (used during the melted snow days) and a pink (her favorite color) Abercrombie sweater.

Liverpool girl on her way to the airport with an extremely cute handbag and traditional NY sweater (I mean, who doesn't love NY?)

subway: french hat and nice cozy coat

Modern girl at Apple fifth Avenue with the perfect outfit: beautiful coat (cool ethnic?), perfect shoes (the kind of boy shoes I liked so much I bought similar ones at F21) and a blue scarf that unexpectedly completes the outfit.

Subway again: these stylish woman told me specially that day her hair was awful when I asked for a photo. I think she's great!

French guy walking early on Sunday morning. His sunglasses shine as bright as the sun!

Tourist girl on Statue of Liberty. I knew Tokio girls were fashion, but would any other tourist dress as cool as her? (This is absolutely my favorite look in the whole city)

I always found it hard to wear both stylish and simple but I can feel this looks elegance in its head-to-toe-black and charismatic smile

What about you? What's your style about? Tell me which picture suits your style best!

SPFW - looks

I have to admit it was hard to photograph every look I wanted in this SPFW (specially because is one of the only weeks of the year I have the pleasure to see a lot of decent outfits at the same place), but I could catch some of the looks I liked.

Although I was pretty impressed by the number of winter outfits I saw in the middle of our Brazilian summer, I am happy to say some of the people actually know what the word summer means...

And my favorite one:

I immediately recognized the Yves Saint Lauren shoes I've seen in this blog a couple of months ago and the owner of the shoes (for my delight) is a reader of cupcakes and cashmere as well...

Ceci un It Bag

Doesn't matter how many different purses I have, I can't find any better than my favorite bag.

I am talking about the french bag you can find in any different color and size. The Longchamp bag.

It all started two years ago when I went to France with my dad. I've never walked that much in my whole life but it was amazing. I didn't get tired of the glamorous stores, charming buildings, historical monumentes, and, obviously, the clothes.

One day when I was going to the Picasso museum, I saw a group of high school students walking in the street. They didn't have uniform and most of them were wearing jeans and sweaters.

Someone there called my atention. It was a girl, dressed with an amazing coat and, what called my attention most was her bag.

It was, of couse, a Longchamp bag. It was navy and I falled in love with that simple, elegant and perfect purse.

The day after I went with my dad to the Longchamp store (the one I haven't even heard about before) and when I discovered it was the store of THAT BAG, I freaked out.

Since then, I am completely in love with the Longchamp bags. This story may sound idiot but everytime I look at my light pink school bag I feel completely happy. In am sure lots of people have their favorite bag. Isn't it good to have a little thing making you feel that happy?

Fashion Wall

Sometimes I find myself freaking out trying to find the perfect outfit but I think it happends at least one time to everyone.

As I don't have time in the morning (to freak out trying to find something to wear), I choose my school outfit one day before. I used to spend hours doing it every day but now I do not spend too much time choosing what I'm going to wear to go to school; as my mother says "When I was your age school was just school, not a runway show".

Now I simply pick something and see if it looks good (not that easy at all)

During this no uniform school years, I've been working on something I call "Fashion Wall". When I moved to my new apartment and saw my bedroom completely white (as the place was temporary we wouldn't paint it neon colors) I decided to turn my white wall into a giant board where I collected fashion items and looks and each month changed (that way I had inspiration for my school and weekend clothes). The idea of the Fashion Wall was amazing. Every month I waited for my new magazines and started collecting my items.

A photo I took of it before I moved (yes, again a temporary apartment)

doing my fashion wall was a way to decorate my all white bedroom plus a way to choose my oufits and have fun.
