streetstyle inspiration

For me fashion has a really special meaning. It is something I need. Something I crave. Something I want to feel around me. It's not just being well dressed or presentable. It's creating yourself through clothes. Communicating with others. Feeling good and, at the same time, being yourself. The fashion world might be compared to a complete circus sometimes. It might be extravagant sometimes but there's a border between that and being ridiculous. But what is being ridiculous anyway? Who am I to judge if what you're wearing is ridiculous or not? I mean, if your feel good with what you're wearing, why should I judge you? Apart from that, fashion for me is the mixture of textures. The way you create your outfits and become an individual. The way you mix colors, patterns. It's the way you express yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin. I have to be honest, I have a very particular taste, since one of my biggest inspirations is Pop Art. Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein are my muses and my Art Gods. My favorite colors are red, blue, white and black. I love long skirts, denim, statement t-shirts and everything that's studded. I am already seeing military style all over the place and I can't help but hating it. I don't know, probably that's because I'm not a big fan of green. But what I mean is that I may don't follow what everybody wears or "what's fashionable" but, at least, I feel comfortable in my own skin. I like to be edgy sometimes, but I can be low profile aswell. The important thing is to find a balance. I also love some things that "everybody has", such as earings, necklaces and rings with crosses. But, for example, Jeffrey Campbell boots weren't just made for me. I actually hate them. I prefer loafers and mocassins. In the end, I believe you're supposed to wear what reflects your personality the best way has possible and you have to be true to yourself. You're an unique person. Don't forget that. Being fashionable doesn't mean you have to wear what everybody is wearing. It means finding yourself and believing that, when you walk out the door, you feel good in your own skin. Isn't that right?

Dope bloggers and stuff like that: I AM GALLA

As a fashion blogger from a small country, it is really hard for me to find male bloggers with good blogs and a style that I like, whithout being completely outrageous and with outfits which aim is just to call everyone's attention. Everybody knows that my favorite portuguese male blogger is Zé from 2X Nº1. Besides being one of my best friends and a person that I really look up to, his style is impecable and his choices are really bold. So, last week, when I was cruisin' around LOOKBOOK, I found this amazing blogger which, in my opinion, is one of the best male bloggers around the world. Today I bring you Adam Gallagher, the author of the blog I AM GALLA. This boy is not only a fashion blogger, he is also a personal shopper, a wardrobe stylist, a model and a photographer. And he also enjoys skateboarding, how cool is that? All boys should learn from him how to look good but simple at the same time. Look what he is wearing. All his pieces are just plain classic and not extravangant at all. His choices are smart and every single piece fits him like a glove. I like his polos and his shirts. The way he matches the colors in his outfits is so clean. And, with the Ray-Bans, I feel a James Dean vibe going on there. If you don't follow his blog, I strongly advise you to. And, boys, take notes. You might learn something. 















Anja for Nasty Gal’s August Lookbook

I am a big fan of australian model Anja Konstantinova, she is just so pretty and talented. So when I heard she was the face of Nasty Gal's August lookbook face, I couldn't be more excited to see the result. And I am so happy after seeing how good she looks in all the photos. She is so natural in all of them and I believe she represents the true Nasty Gal's spirit. In this trip through the desert she wears many cool pieces, from sequin-embellished skirts to leightweight knit sweaters. I would love to own some of them, such as the sweater on the second photo and the jacket on the third one. Another thing that I love about Anja is that she can adapt to every kind of editorial she is in, always taking the best part of the clothes she wears. I think she is every photographer's dream. And this one is no exception. She looks carefree and like a true Nasty Gal. But I have to admit that my favorite lookbook from this online retailer is still this one.
