FESTINHA de ANIVERSÁRIO

We had a few very close and loved friends over for my birthday and this is the decor and the spread I put out, lol. I used old tin cans as vases for tiny flowers- which I love, I am always making one-flower arrangements - and old glass jars as votives and the homey effect is lovely!  

Comemorei meu aniversário assim, ó: fiz uma decorção super simples, com flores em latinhas velhas, vidros de conserva como luminárias e só! Amei o efeito!!! 

I decided to serve the food in small separate dishes and this is the choosing of the table setting:

Por alguma razão desconhecida (rsrsrsrs), decidi servir as comidinhas em louças separadas, tipo mini tacinhas e afins.   

Clockwise from the upper left : "Korean beef" (I learned the recipe from a Korean classmate, so that´s why I named it that, lol), Potato Salad with homemade mayo (this one I learned from my mom), "Chinese Salad" (again, just a name, I guess they don´t know that in China, and I learned from my mother-in-law, who is of Japanese descent, soooo...) and Ceviche, which I make by eye and tastes delicious, hehehe. Oh, and I also made small Apple and Brie tarts  and a wonderful Cheesecake, but those two culinary adventures will get their own posts, :)))))))))))))))))) 

As comidinhas (sentido horário, começando do canto superior esquerdo): Bife Coreano, que aprendi de uma colega de classe coreana e por isso batizei assim, hehehe; Salada de Batata com maionese caseira , que aprendi da minha mãe; "Salada Chinesa", que duvido que seja conhecida na China, rsrsr; e o Ceviche, que faço de olho e fica muito bom. Fiz também uma tortinha de Brie com Maçãs e um Cheesecake maravilhoso, mas esses dois terão postagens separadas, hehehe

Mais SAIA de LINHO BORDADA!!!!!

Ok, I know this is the fourth post about the same skirt, but it´s that it took me soooo long to finhish it and I love my embroidered skirt soooooooo much that I am really gonna get a lot of mileage out of it! This is yet another way of wearing the skirt: with my green cotton and silk blend tunic ( I love the combination of a very bright green with the neutral linen color), BobStore shoes, Maria Bonita Extra bag and Vi bracelets by Swarovski. 

Minha saia de linho demorou tanto para ficar pronta e no final eu gostei tanto do resultado que agora vou usá-la até!!! Adoro a combinação da cor totalmente neutra da saia com o verde da batinha de seda verde bandeira que eu-que-fiz e a modelagem soltinha da mesma com a modelagem mais justinha na parte de cima da saia. Sapatos da BobStore, bolsinha da Maria Bonita Extra e pulseirinhas da Swarovski.

TORD BOONTJE

Tord Boontje is another one of my favorite designers! I find his nature-inspired art absolutely beautiful. You can see his work clicking here. I do have some of his decor pieces in my house and I love them. But I also have some of his "3D" jewellery, and I changed the original black cords for necklaces in different colors and lengths and I LOVE wearing two (or three, or four or even five, lol) of them together! And then of course you don´t need anything else ;) 

Eu AMO o designer Tord Boontje - você pode ver mais trabalhos dele clicando aqui- e acho que os pingentes tridimensionais inspirados na natureza que ele criou incríveis! Eu troquei o cordão de seda original por diversos colares de cores e comprimentos diferentes, e acho o máximo usar dois - ou três, quatro, ou mesmo cinco - juntos. O efeito fica maravilhoso!

ZARA New Collection - my picks

It is summer in Brazil and it is scorching hot, and I hate it, so I browse the winter fashions on the web and dream about being able to wear them! I loved these clothes from Zara´s New Collection. To be perfectly honest, this boxy style isn´t that appeling to me, but I guess what I really loved about these pieces is the contrast between the "harsh"  clothes and the softness of either the color or the fabric!

Apesar de estarmos nesse calor infernal, eu adoro olhar as coleções de inverno, bom, porque eu gosto mesmo é de frio! Amei essas roupas da New Collection da Zara. Esse estilo mais quadradão nõ me agrada muito, mas adorei o contraste dessa peças bem "duras" com os tecidos mais delicados ou cores suavíssimas!
