INSPIRATION: DENIM, AGAIN...and ANJA.

I felt in love with denim again, and again...

To find the perfect fit jeans for our body type is one of the great woman's pleasures, no way! It's that kind of thing which goes from mothers to daughters for ever. There are things that make us always to feel sexy and hot but nothing compared with a perfect pair of jeans, a figure-fit denim shirt or that crazy short shorts that make the summer so hot! Denim make us to feel a gorgeous bitch who can conquer the world only with a shake-your-hips :-)

Encontrar o par de jeans que encaixe na perfeição no nosso tipo de corpo é um dos maiores prazeres da mulher, sem dúvida! É esse tipo de prazeres clássicos que passam de mães para filhas para sempre. Há muitas coisas que nos fazem sempre sentir sexy, mas, nada comparado com um perfeito par de jeans, uma camisa denim a moldar-nos a figura ou uns loucos shorts que fazem o verão ainda mais escaldante! Não há como o denim para nos fazer sentir uma linda ***** que pode conquistar o mundo apenas com um abanar de ancas.

INSPIRATION: CATE I LOVE YOU

She is my fashion heroine!

INSPIRATION: ROCKABILLY AND TATTOOS



Old symbol of rebellion the sleeve tattoos were something related with muscles and hard guys type. Now mainstream took in tattoos and make them an itch-thing. I’m not a tattoo person ( nor a piercing either) but this fashion editorial caught my eyes because it matched perfectly the hard looking of the sleeve tattoos with the softness and femininity of the rockabilly style. I really loved the styling. And of course the Prada shoes!  

Velho simbolo de rebelião, os braços tatuados sempre foi algo relacionado com musculos e tipos duros. Agora o mainstream pegou nas tatuagens e fez delas um item de moda incontornável. Não osu uma pessoa de tatuagens ( e muito menos de piercings) mas este editorial captou-me a atenção porque combina na perfeição o visual hard dos braços tatuados com a leveza do estilo rockabilly, repleto de feminilidade. Adorei mesmo o styling e claro as peças Prada.

INSPIRATION: DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF BLOGGER'S WARDROBE

I had already read about BLOGGER'S WARDROBE - a kind of revolution - but only recently I went to the website and red its Manifesto which said: “ Blogger’s Wardrobe is not just any web site, not another way to shop online, and definitely not just an online lookbook (…)”. I used to say that FASHION HEROINES’ blog is not another fashion blog… so I kind of had an empathic sympathy about this project that you can see HERE.


First they have a unique online shop where everything is absolutely free! Do you realize that these kind of dreamy things are really possible? Believe it does! Second they work with absolutely amazing brands that I love the most like FINSK – the shoes that all of us dream about. I couldn’t believe that in front of me – ok, ok, I had a the screen between – the most gorgeous shoes for this spring: The mint pumps by FINSK. Stop everything you may doing right now and look at this beauty …

At least Blogger's Wardrobe have the most amazing selection of bloggers from the recent blogosphere with a little resume about them and links for their blogs. And the selection is so good!

If you are a real Fashion Heroine is can’t ignore anymore the Blogger’s Wardrobe. And then you will wish hardly to take part of them. Try your chance. It’s very hard to get a full entry only for you and your blog but in the world hard things are always the better ones, and nothing is for free except in the shop of the Bloggers’ Wardrobe. Good luck for me... and for you too.

INSPIRATION: GRAPHIC AND CLEAN

I loved this editorial! The bob's hair cut matched perfectly with the graphic theme of the elegant looks and the landscape matched thoroughly with everything. Clean and balance for a prefect momentum!

INSPIRATION: THE METALLIC LOOK



Balenciaga SS 2012 via Style.com

Spring officially begins and the shops are full of news. Fashion editorials with the main spring/summer trends rush the magazines. It’s time to research my archives of spring’s favourite collections and lookbooks for inspiration. One of my fave is the silver/gold trend that ran the main collections for spring 2012. Balenciaga’s collection got this trend with beautiful gold and silver details in jackets, skirts, shorts, shoes and bags. 

Começou oficialmente a Primavera e as lojas estão a abarrotar de novidades e os editoriais de moda com as principais tendências enchem as nossas revistas favoritas. Este é o tempo de pesquisar as imagens em arquivo dos principais desfiles das colecções Primavera/Verão 2012, assim como os lookbooks e blogs de street style para inspiração. Uma das minhas tendências favoritas é o uso do dourado e prateado que percorreram inumeras colecções das principais fashion houses. Balenciaga, uma das minhas colecções favoritas, brindou-nos com peças doiradas e prateadas fantásticas e detalhes metálicos em casacos, saias, calções, sapatos e malas.

Balmain convert ethnic patterns in luxury golden details and acessories. Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen bet in an impossible beautiful golden total look from head to toe.

Balmain converteu padrões étnicos em luxuosas estampagens em dourado e Sarah Burton para Alexander McQueen ofereceu-nos a possiblidade de sonhar com um look total em dourado da cabeça aos pés.

Thus, in addiction to floral prints, the duo black and white, and the big place for strong hot colours as red, orange, yellow, cobalt blue, emerald green... the designers chose golden and silver tones to give a sophisticated edge to their collections. The mettalic look was also present in Fendi and Lavin. In Versace the golden studs embellished white pieces, and believe me, metallic details matched with white are a moment of fashion perfection.   

Assim, em conjunto com as estampagens florais, o clássico duo preto-e-branco, e um lugar privilegiado para as cores quentes e sedutoras como o vermelho, laranja, amarelo, azul cobalto, verde esmeralda... os designers apostaram nos tons metálicos para dar um toque de alta sofisticação às suas colecções. O look metálico está igualmente presente nas colecções de Fendi e Lavin, entre outras. Em Versace os detalhes dourados surjem em forma de tachas a decorar looks em branco total, um momento de perfeição na moda.

How can we adapt the metallic look to a day wear setting?  I think a golden/silver in total look is out of the question except at special occasions, but a smart way to follow the trend is choosing metallic accessories as shoes, belts, bags or some garments' details as we saw in Versace, for example, golden or silver studs. Another way to wear the trend is matching a single mettalic piece (skirt, top...) and keep the rest of the look in white or washed denim.   

Mas, como adaptar o look metálico aos cenários da nossa vida diária? Muitas vezes o look dourado ou prateado é remetido para os momentos festivos especiais ou para a noite, mas, a moda actual puxou os brilhos metálicos para o nosso dia-a-dia. Uma forma inteligente de adoptar esta tendência é usa-la em detalhes na roupa (tachas) ou em acessórios como malas, cintos ou sapatos. outra das formas é usar só uma peça metálica como uma saia ou um top e combinar o resto do look em branco, denim ou numa das outras cores fortes da estação como o laranja ou o verde. 

My choice in what concern to the metallic trend are these pair of oxford shoes by Robert Clergerie in silver that you can find at SPARTOO. They are two trends in one piece: Perfect to make a chic boyish style  but they are also discreet to use in day light and acessorize a glamorous female dandy look. You can buy them HERE. 

A minha escolha no que respeita a esta tendência são estes fabulosos sapatos tipo oxford em prata de Robert Clergerie que podem ser adquiridos na SPARTOO. Eles reunem duas tendências numa só peça: perfeitos para um estilo boyish chique mas igualmente discretos que podem ser usados de dia e acessorizar um look glamoroso de dandy feminino. Podem ser comprados AQUI.
