Spring Has Finally Sprung!

Yes, gingasians* exist, and if you didn't believe it before please get an eyeful of Pitcha Numba 3.


I am constantly telling people that this is my real hair color, and even after 22 years I am still puzzled as to why everyone assumes I dye it (it's not an unnatural color, is it?!).

Pippi Longstocking Eats A Hot Dog

We've had frigid weather (by which I mean CONSISTENT LOWS OF UNDER 45°F (7ish°C) and to offer you my condolences if you live in a truly cold place) in New Orleans the last couple of days, and everyone's walking around bundled up like penguins in sweaters and scarves (now picture it - aww!). I welcomed the opportunity to open up my winter box and reunite with my long-lost knits.

Rediscovering New Orleans

We've been back in New Orleans for a couple days already and it's simultaneously as if we were never gone and as if we've dropped into a whole new city. There is so much to rediscover, and so much to discover for the first time! Mostly new foooooooood. I have an employment prerequisite for spending all my money, though, so it's time to get down to business and get into business!

Work Appropriate

I got this dress a couple years ago now with my mom when I got my first real internship and had to quickly hurry and buy myself a new, work appropriate wardrobe. It has the perk of being one of the few silk items I own, so I feel super-luxurious in it, and the drawback of liking to dry all wrinkly-like (see pictures. Please pretend not to notice). But then, I guess, paired with a high bun and

Caroline's Dress & International Women's Day

This dress was a hand-me-down from one of my favorite people, my friend Caroline. Even though it's hardly modest, I consider it my token housewife dress. I never feel more Stepford-y (in a good way!) than when I'm in it.







But since today is International Women's Day, there are more important things on the table: winning equality for the female race. Starting with the end of violence

All White & Sunlight

I'm really excited about today's photos, and I think they may mark a partial shift in the blog's content towards fashion photography and not just fashion (but there will still be fashion!). Boyf was sick over the weekend with some sort of stomach bug, and so I didn't want to make him take a long and miserable walk to take my photos so we just headed into the living room... and these are the

Let's Talk About Gay Marriage

Happy Hump Day (that expression always makes me giggle!) and welcome to my only outfit post for this week. The dengue had me down last week, if you didn't hear, so I didn't get much photographing done.

This is my take on the monochrome trend! Meant to remind you that "monochrome" does not mean "grayscale" but "of, relating to, or made with a single color or hue" (at least, that's what

Cream & Leather & TED Talks

Today's is going to be another prance-y outfit post coupled with a more serious topic (but for once more relevant to the fashion world): models. You know what I'm talking about. Everyone who is part of the fashion world or even just harbors a strong interest in fashion has their favorite models (mine are Arizona Muse, Gemma Ward (who rumor has it is making a comeback soon!), and Bruna Tenorio)

Ash Wednesday and Detox

First things first: happy Ash Wednesday y'all! I hope you've all had a very pleasant (totally insane) Carnaval/Mardi Gras/Mardival and, if you are Catholic, are all ready to quit smoking or quit meat or quit chocolate or quit porn or whatever it is you're giving up this year. (Also, can anyone explain to me exactly why there are ashes involved? What do they represent exactly?) As for me & Boyf

New Shoes For My Inner Feminist

I've clearly got guns on the mind these days, and perhaps that's how I ended up with this tattoo (inspired by these tights). And since women's shoes here are so cheap, I've been indulging in the occasional new pair as well! I adore these - I saw them and I instantly thought they were perfect class.

The One Where She Flails Her Tentacles (And They're Green)

Ta-dum-dum teeeentacleeeeees!!!! I've been in love with Les Queues de Sardines ever since I first discovered them (I can't remember when or how this was) but they were always so far away and so expensive that I never quite went for anything (they now do retail in parts of the States). Until Boyf seized upon the opportunity and got me these babies for my birthday last year. Nowadays I just put

The One Where She Prances Around In Minty Green

So I finally decided to shave my legs (first time in weeks!) and decided that the occasion called for stockings. Which, in turn, called for heels.

Why I Like Skinny Guys

...because you can steal their clothes, of course! These pants (as you may have already guessed) are Boyf's, and he so kindly let me borrow them for work last week (with a more conservative top, of course). I kind of like that I don't have to go out of my own pocket to get in on the menswear trend - so anyone who tells me or my boyfriend that he needs to eat a sandwich can go eat themselves (

It's Ma Birfday!

Yep yep yep yep you heard right! Yours truly just turned 22 today (and can't seem to stop thinking OH EM GEE I'M ALMOST DEAD). Indeed, I shall be treating myself to some well-deserved birthday fabulosity when I get home from work! Which shall consist of... buying myself a cake from the cake place up the street (always smells divine) and... lounging around all evening (this is actually quite

Jumping on the Bandwagon

On the peplum and burgundy bandwagon, that is! I'm a little late in the game but don't hate me; I live in South America, where everything moves a little slower, and trends just take longer to trickle down.

Rainy Days

I got back to São Paulo yesterday and it's been raining pretty much ever since. There are both ups and downs to this. Up: it doesn't take 2 hours to fall asleep in scorching 90-degree heat and humidity and I don't wake up in a veritable ocean of my own sweat. Down: it's raining all the time. Like, all. The. Time. The weird thing is, it's super-light rain. You can't even really see it, you just

Blues & Greens & Feria Queens

Because that's me, queen of the feria. Wherever or whenever there is a feria to explore, I'm right there exploring. With a disgruntled Boyf right there at my side.

Next up: Patagonia! And lack of internet. So don't expect too much from me for the next two weeks.
