Dope bloggers and stuff like that: NATIVE FOX

Imagine you could pick a random blogger from the web and use everything he/shes has in his/her closet. That would be dreamy, right? If I had the chance to that, I would choose Jennifer Grace's, the author of the blog Native Fox, closet. I seriously envy every single piece she owns, so stylish, classy and dope at the same time. Her blog is just amazing, she seems so nice and her style is really powerful. I love how she mixes her clothes. Sometimes she is so angelical, with her hairbands and dresses, and white and pastel pieces. Then she becomes a rocker chick with black and denim clothes. And I love her accessories, her hats and boots are so cool. Not to mention her beautiful hair. I would love to meet her one day and do a photo shoot with her. I'm sure we would have an amazing time. Don't forget to check her blog out here.










Mila Kunis for Interview Magazine

I have to admit that I have a HUGE girl crush on Mila Kunis. I mean, she's gorgeous and sooo funny. She is one of my MK's, alongside with Minka Kelly and Mary-Kate (Olsen). I think she has a great sense of style and she is naturally pretty. You can totally confirm that on these edgy shots by photographer Craig McDean for the August issue of Interview Magazine. The actress looks stunning in a bad girl wardrobe of leather and denim, with messy hair and amazing make-up. I really like the clothes. Those shorts look really comfortable (and you know how much I like comfy clothes) and that KISS t-shirt has the intence rocker feeling that I love so much. So great...I feel like jumping into those photos and have a little chat with her while driving that car in the streets of LA. That would be so cool.

THE 90's ARE BACK !!

Do you remember how cool it was to go to a store and buy a cd or to tape your favorite songs that were on the radio on a cassette? Do you remember Mel Gibson on Braveheart? And seing a young Claudia Schiffer on the cover of some magazine? And the amazing Disney movies like Lion King? It has already been 20 years since the beggining of the 90's, the decade where I was born and that I remember like it was yesterday. I loved (and still love) the Spice Girls so much.
The most excessive fashion from that decade has been inspiring more and more our generation. I've heard "That's really 90's" a hundred times. Brands like Topshop, Zara and H&M are full of printed leggings and crop-tops. The XXL sizes are officially back. Many vintage stores are now completing their archives with pieces from the 90's by Tom Ford for Gucci, Valentino, Yves Saint Luarent, John Galliano and Gaultier. And of course they haven't forgotten about the accessories. A pair of Chanel sunnies from the 90's may cost you 2500 dollars and a Versace bag may be worth 1500 dollars. Many famous houses reborned during that decade. Chanel was really conservative until Lagerfeld transformed its image during the 90's with pastel colors and short skirts, for example.
There are many trends from the 90's that I remember really well and some of them I actually like: neon colors, oversized sweaters, black leather jackets, colored tights, tartan skirts, baby doll dresses, matching jeans and denim jackets (that now makes me vomit), leggings, Converse, lace blouses, long floral skirts, pastel colors, crop tops and many more.
What do you think about this 90's revival? Do you like it? I hope you do because it is here to stay.

Behind The Scenes @ Re-Vintage Clothing

I just spent the most amazing weekend Teens. Seriously, it was so much fun. During the past two days I took part of the shooting for Re-Vintage Clothing (after winning the contest last week) and it was pretty amazing. We were such a great (and funny) team. Me, Mariana and Liliana had a fantastic time being models for this brand new clothing line created by Margarida, who I considered the boss ahah. It has such cute shorts and shirts that I'm sure you will like them as much as I do. And I loved the work of both of our photographers Jorge and Inês (visit Inês's blog here - trust me, it's awesome) and our stylist Leandro that also did an amazing job. I can't wait to see the final result, I'm sure all the photos look great. I'm not going to reveal where we took the pictures because it's part of the surprise :). But here's a behind the scenes that I couldn't help but share with all of you. And I hope you get curious. We all are.
