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...

People who knows what "summer" means:

Some other looks I liked:

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...

Milk Pudding

I am not a huge fan of pudding but the moment I tasted the amazing milk pudding my stepmother made I started to believe: pudding can be as good as a devil chocolate cake.

The amazing pudding was devoured in less than three days and the amazing Brazilian recipe my father took from this hotel is similar to the one found here (the only difference is the lemon extract and the add of caramel over it). The pudding is soft inside and caramelized outside; the perfect desert in the summer.

It's easy to do and totally worth all the calories :]

Summer Walk

The summer has never been my favorite season but these days I am perfectly happy to walk in the streets without a coat and drink tones of iced coffees.

The last evening I discovered these amazing street near the place I'm staying. The stores are good and the restaurants are pretty. I can't wait to walk there again and eat another giant salad.

Travel essentials

I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks.

My luggage is far more than colorful flip-flops, fresh T-shirts, beach totes and very short shorts. The most important is what will make me survive in the boring moments (if I have any).

1. Caran D'ache colored pencils + my complete pencil case:

I guess I can't survive more than 7 hours in a plane without my drawing material.

2. Ipod: I already made a playlist of all the piano solos ( I have trouble sleeping during flights so all the help is welcome).

3.Trident: For the moments I need to eat something (and already ate all the eatable things of the airport, airplane and in my purse).

4. Big sunglasses: to avoid scared people staring at you at 2 a.m. after a 8 hours non-sleep flight

5. Books: I always choose a book (or more) to read during the trip. The airplane, under that little blanket with a cup of coke and your earphones, is the best place to start it.

6. a Big handbag (in my case, the classic Longchamp bag): large enough to carry everything you need and with at least one pocket no find your things easily.

7. Passport holder: a way to take care of your passport (it's the most important thing you'll carry)

A very good vacation for everyone :].

Summer favorites

The last week had a couple of warm days that made me remember my summer favorites. I do love winter: hot chocolates, warm blankets, pretty coats and Uggs boots, but the Sun seems to shine more at summer, doesn't it?
