At the beginning I was very resistant about wearing anything with animal prints. But after buying my first leopard print flats, I just threw away all preconceived notions about this fashion style. I then realized that this kind of pattern can give a nice update to a look, can make it look very feminine, gracious and daring.

So when I saw this zebra print coat (for an excellent price) I had no doubt that I was going to buy it. I really, really loved it and I think it is really easy to wear with other different pieces and it can add some fun to the all those dark winter tones I’ve already talked about.

How about you girls, have you embraced the animal print fashion trend yet?

No comeco eu tinha uma certa resistencia em relacao as essas estampas, mas bastou comprar uma sapatilha de oncinha e me entregar  as estampas de animais, deixei de lado o conceito “perua” que sempre achei atrelado a esses tipos de estampas e vi que poderiam sim, dar uma composicao super bacana ao look, atraves da feminilidade, graciosidade e ate uma certa “ousadia” que essas estampas expressam.

Por isso, quando vi esse casaco de zebra por um preco super tentador, nao tive duvidas que essa “zebrinha seria minha”. Afinal, amo essa estampa, acho super facil de coordenar com outras pecas e ideal para dar uma quebrada nos tons escuros e sobrios do inverno. E voces? Aderiram a “animal print” ou ainda torcem o nariz?

Update:

When I was living in Brazil I used to wait anxiously for winters, I loved to dress “winter-style” using layering, boots, scarves, gloves but always had a special knack for winter coats (well, I still have it). But since I moved to the polar arctic (a.k.a. Boston), many of my winter fashion concepts have changed. Now, I really believe that winter fashion depends on what kind of winter you’re talking about. During the winter here in Boston any temperature around 32 F (0 C) is great and temperatures less than -4 F (-20 C) are not really a surprise to those who live here. When in middle of frigid cold weather, our biggest concern is to survive and fashion comes in second. But as the cold season just started and it gets dark real early, each sunny day (or a fraction of it) is celebrated with happiness and, of course, winter fashion!

Quando ainda morava no Brasil, eu costumava esperar o frio ansiosamente, adorava me vestir com mais estilo, sobreposicoes, botas, cachecois, luvas e era super apaixonada por esses casacoes de inverno. Bom, na verdade ainda sou. Mas, desde que comecei a enfrentar o frio polar de Boston, muitos dos meus conceitos em relacao a essa elegancia atribuida ao inverno super mudaram. Agora acredito que tudo obviamente depende do inverno, que estamos nos referindo. Em Boston no inverno, qualquer temperatura acima de zero e sonho de consumo, 20 graus negativos sao temperaturas que ja nao supreendem mais quem mora aqui.  E o instinto de sobrevivencia sobrepoe qualquer apelo fashion. Por enquanto, o frio mal comecou, mas os dias ja viram noites as 4 horas da tarde , cada raio de sol e comemorado com extrema alegria e ainda e possivel investir no antigo conceito de elegancia!

I am totally crazy about leather. Leather is an “up” for every look, whether it is elegant, formal, casual or sexy.  And it is a strong trend for this season. So… get out there and get yours!

Minha paixao por  couro e’ suuuuper antiga, o couro “dignifica” qualquer look, de elegante a despojado ou com um apelo mais sexy.  O couro esta em tudo e em todas nesse outono. To indo ali procurar algo po$$ivel, pra “modelar” aqui depois.
