Fall-Winter Essentials: Cape Coats & Ponchos

November 2, 2015

I am in love with the coziness, practicality and sophistication of these awesome cover-ups. Especially now that I am 30 weeks pregnant and my coats don’t really close very well anymore these cape coats and ponchos are the best options, for expectant and non-expectant mothers, and the easiest statement pieces, literally just pull it on and go.

There are many versions of the cape-coats and ponchos these days. You can look chic on the streets; wear it to work or to a night out in town. Here are some inspirations:

Cape coats and ponchos are not hard to style. Everything depends on your creativity. You can complete the look with posh accessories. Try going for thigh-high boots, skinny jeans or leggings with uncle boots, wide-brim hats, shiny shoes and statement bags.

When it’s freezing cold outside, you can go for a chunky sweater or light jacket and cover it with your favorite cape-coat or poncho. I love it!

Spring in Detroit

June 2, 2015

It is spring time, but you may have noticed that the weather this spring sucks! Last weekend was 45 degrees and raining. This week it didn’t start any different: 50 degrees! It may as well be fall!

Needless to say, I am not thrilled with this whole weather situation, all that I feel like wearing are bright tank tops and comfortable spring dresses. However,  the way that the weather has been lately, if you live in the Midwest or Northeast of the United States, not only should dresses be part of your wardrobe, but also a very practical and stylish rain or trench coat, both ready to protect you from the spring showers in style 😉

Here is an outfit I wore while taking a tour at the beautiful and historical Fisher Building in Detroit, during a very rainy and chilly weekend here in Michigan.

What about you? What did you do last weekend?

É primavera, e tudo o que nos passa pela cabeça para o nosso guarda-roupa são tops, vestidos fresquinhos, confortáveis e coloridos… … Errado! Do jeito que a tempo anda maluco ultimamente, não só de vestidos deve viver o nosso guarda-roupa nesta primavera, mas também deve conter uma bela capa de chuva ou um trench coat o que são sempre muito práticos, estilosos e elegantes.

Aqui um look em que usei durante um tour que fiz no belo e histórico edifício Fisher em Detroit, durante um fim de semana muito chuvoso aqui em Michigan.

Fashion trend: The fringe effect

March 2, 2015

Fringes are here to stay! Fringing was a big fashion trend last spring and it keeps coming back season after season in a much more hip, chic and modern ways.

As seen during the 2015/2016 fashion week around the world; in both runway and street styles, fringe was spotted in color or in simple black. You can see fringe being added to both winter and transitional looks bringing sophistication, elegance and fun at the same time.

I personally am a fan of the boho-chic trend and everything fringe of all sorts and shapes: skirts, blouses, jackets, purses, scarfs, hair…! They make a statement and I that’s what I like about it.

Beijos with love,

Lulu.

Tendência: o efeito das franjas

As franjas vieram para ficar! Elas foram tendência em 2014 e continuam voltando com tudo, uma temporada após a outra, de forma muito mais chique e moderna.

Como pode ser visto durante as semanas de moda da temporada 2015/2016 ao redor do mundo, nas passarelas e no “street style”, as franjas aparecem com força em cores ou no queridinho pretinho. Elas são adicionadas a looks de inverno e transição, trazendo sofisticação e elegância.

Eu, pessoalmente, sou um fã do look boho-chic e de tudo o que tem franjas: saias , blusas , jaquetas , bolsas, lenços , cabelo… ! As franjas trazem um efeito poderoso para o look, e é por isso que gosto tanto.

NYFW Street Style InspirationInspiração: New York Fashion Week Street Style

February 18, 2015

This is one of the longest winters ever!” Hmmmm… every year I say the same thing… However this year it is so cold out, that I can’t deal with it! Buaaahhh! These freezing temperatures make me just want to stay inside sometimes. The famous winter blues, I guess… Zzzzzzzzzzz….

Since life goes on, we have to make the best of it, right?

When I look out the window and I see the snow while I’m getting ready in the morning, all that I can think of are the layers and more layers I have to put on, and the layers and more layers I have to take off when I get to work, the coffee shop, or to any other place I have to go during my day. “Yeahhh, I hear you Lulu” you must be thinking… but my point is… the layers have to be there so why not have fun with it and be fashionable at the same time? Think cozy materials, colors, non-ordinary shoes… everything will look great if done tastefully!

Well, the 2015 Fall NYFW started last week. I selected a few street style looks to get us inspired to take on the winter. Let’s have fun with our winter fashion, people!

Ah, and don’t forget to drop me a comment letting me know which look inspired you the most.

Beijos with love,

Lulu.

Mas a vida continua, e nós temos que tornar qualquer circunstância a melhor possível, certo?

Quando eu olho pela janela e vejo neve, tudo o que me vem pela cabeça são as camadas e mais camadas que eu tenho que vestir, e as camadas e mais camadas que eu tenho que tirar quando chegar no trabalho, no café ou qualquer outro lugar que eu tenho que ir durante o dia. O meu ponto é: nós temos que nos vestir em camadas de qualquer jeito, então por que não se divertir com elas e torná-las “fashion” ao mesmo tempo? Pense em materiais quentinhos, confortáveis, coloridos e sapatos não convencionais… Tudo vai combinar, se feito com bom gosto!

A semana de moda Outono/Inverno de Nova York, começou na semana passada. Aqui eu selecionei alguns looks street style para vocês se inspirarem durante o inverno. Como vocês podem ver, dá sim para se divertir bastante com cores, camadas, sapatos e com tudo o que você tiver direito. Sejam criativos!

Ah, e não esqueçam de me deixar um comentário com um recadinho de como estes looks inspiraram vocês.

Espero que gostem. Beijos com carinho,

Lulu.
