My vacation continues to be beach-less but with lots of time spent in the pool… Summer’s sunny and scalding hot! Throughout Christmas with family, eat is all we did!

I am shocked at the prices here in Brazil. I find a lot of beautiful things that I’d love to have, but the prices are really extorsive. I am seeing myself increasingly more detached of the Brazilian “reality” and ask myself how is it possible to have prices sooooo incompatible with the purchasing power here. Everything can be bought in a million of monthly installments, but so what? You end up paying twice as much as you would for a fairly priced product. Therefore, I’ve been very diligent on my acquisitions here. But since I love Brazil’s summer fashion so much, especially bikinis and bijoux, I could not resist and bought some pieces that I plan to use during Boston’s brief summer.

Due to the absence of my favorite photographer, my lack of ability with the tripod, and the fact that these pieces speak for themselves, I decided to photograph them just like that… my presence, this time, was limited to be on the other side of the lenses.

I leave 2009 with a promise of nice photos, fair looks, and a lot of information exchange for the next year! Happy 2010! A healthy, peaceful, and loveful year for all of us!

As ferias continuam sem praia, mas com muita piscina…sol e verao escaldante! O Natal foi bem familia e comer foi tudo que se fez.

Ando super espantada com os precos absurdos do Brasil, acho muita coisa linda, mas os precos realmente exorbitantes. Cada vez me vejo mais fora da realidade brasileira e me pergunto como os precos podem ser tao incompativeis com os salarios. Tudo pode ser parcelado em inumeras prestacoes, mas e dai? O preco final e o dobro de um preco justo.

Por essa e outras, ando bem “singela” nas minhas aquisicoes, mas como sou apaixonada pela moda verao brasileira, especialmente pelos biquinis e bijouterias, nao pude resistir e arrisquei em algumas pecas, que poderei usar no breve verao de Boston.

Aproveitei a falta do meu fotografo preferido, minha falta de habilidade com o tripe e o fato das pecas ja falarem tudo por si so, e resolvi fotografa-las assim, sozinhas… minha presenca dessa vez, se limitou ao outro lado da lente.

Deixo 2009 com promessas de fotos bacanas, looks dignos e muita troca de informacao para o proximo ano! Um Feliz 2010! Saude, Paz e Amor pra todas nos!

The weather down here is perfect and vacation is awesome, but to take good pictures and posting them proved to a bigger hassle than I thought it would be. I have not adapted to using this tripod thing yet and by the time I get it right I’m already all sweat and hair is unmade. The photo editor also does not help much and having access to the internet here  proved to be a challenge in itself. So, the difficulties are many but I will do my best to post while I’m down here.

My days are spent between the pool and delicious meals, I haven’t gone to any “special” place and I haven’t gone to the beach yet, but I rested a lot and just to think that the temperatures in Boston now reached -15 degrees Celsius, I feel happy to be here.

I got these pants as a gift, I simply loved the stripes, the baggy feeling to it and a nice fabric texture. To use any type of pants here is not a simple task, I think I really forgot how hot Brazilian summers are.

Have a nice weekend everyone, many thanks for all your comments on the previous post as well as for your patience on waiting for this one!

O clima esta perfeito, as ferias estao deliciosas, mas as dificuldades em tirar boas fotos e posta-las sao imensas. Nao me adaptei super bem ao tripe, quando consigo regular o negocio, ja estou suada e descabelada. O programa de edicao de imagens aqui nao e dos melhores e ter acesso ao computador e quase uma vitoria. Enfim, as dificuldades sao varias, mas farei o possivel para ter alguns posts enquanto estiver no Brasil.

Os dias se alternam entre piscina e deliciosas refeicoes, ainda nao fiz nenhum passeio super especial, e tambem nao fui a praia, mas tenho descansado bastante e so de pensar que em Boston as temperaturas ja chegaram a 15 graus negativos, fico feliz em estar aqui.

Ganhei essa calca de presente, simplesmente adorei as listras, o fato de ser larguinha e num tecido super bacana. Usar calcas por aqui nao e simples, acho que tinha realmente me esquecido como e o verao do Brasil.

Bom fim de semana a todos e super obrigada pelos comentarios no post anterior, bem como pela paciencia na espera por esse!

So we finally got our first Winter snow (I mean Fall) here in Boston , and it’s gonna be my last snow for the year.  Although I do complain a lot about the cold weather, I have almost like a love story with snow. I love watching the  snowflakes falling from my window and I just can’t ignore my all-Xmas-things compulsive  disorder. But this was not enough to keep me here. Soooo, I’m all packed up, gifts are wrapped up, tickets and passports are handy and my thoughts are elsewhere, in a different weather.

I felt privileged to get all this nice, white, and fluffy snow for my farewell but, until February next year, winter coats, tights, and boots, are gonna be replaced by dresses, shorts, bikinis (don’t worry I won’t publish any bikini photos…lol), sandals and barefoot. Regardless of winter, summer, north, south, Brazil, USA or any other country, what really fascinates me is the huge diversity of places, weather, people and, of course, fashion.

I’m not gonna wish Merry Christmas yet but this look really inspires me to do so. I invite you to add me at bloglovin (just click on that little button on the upper left corner of the screen) to start receiving updates of my new looks… and if you start getting some updates with tropical outfits, don’t be surprised… it’s me :D

Enfim, a primeira neve  desse inverno aqui em Boston (que na verdade ainda e outono), mas ja e minha ultima neve do ano. Apesar de minhas reclamacoes a respeito do frio, tenho uma historia de amor com a neve, fico fascinada olhando os flocos cairem pela janela e nao consigo fugir da minha inspiracao natalina compulsiva. Mas, toda essa poesia nao e suficiente para me segurar por aqui, por isso, as malas ja estao prontas, os presentes devidamente embrulhados, as passagens e passaportes ja estao nas maos, e os pensamentos ja estao entrando em outro “clima”.

Me sinto super privilegiada em ter essa neve toda, linda, branca e macia como despedida, mas acredito que ate fevereiro, esses casacos, meias, e botas serao subsitituidos por vestidos, shorts, biquinis (nao vou postar fotos de biquinis aqui, fiquem tranquilas…haha) e principalmente por rasteiras e ate mesmo pes descalcos. Porque independente de inverno, verao, hemisferio norte, hemisferio sul, Brasil, EUA, ou qualquer outro lugar do mundo… o importante mesmo e essa diversidade de lugares, de climas, de pessoas e claro, de moda!

Ainda nao vou desejar Feliz Natal, embora o look nao inspire outra coisa… mas convido voces a me adicionarem no bloglovin, e so clicar no botao super acima, canto esquerdo da tela, e assim receber um update dos meus looks… assim, quando comecarem a rolar looks tropicais por aqui, nao haverao duvidas que sao meus :D

Boa semana!
