Charlotte Olympia's Brazilian Collection

Charlotte Olympia Dellal, is the half-Brazilian, half-English designer behind her self titled label Charlotte Olympia.  The 31-year-old designer, whose mother was a 70's Brazilian model, brought much of her background as inspiration for her 2013 Resort Collection called 'Glamazon'.  The collection is super fun and filled with bright colors, flowers, animal details and even the super Brazilian and iconic “Senhor do Bonfim” ribbons.  As a Brazilian woman I am extremely proud of the work Charlotte has done in this collection.  I think it portrays our culture in a beautiful and super fashionable way.  I can't wait to get my hands in some of these designs.  I'm sure these shoes will make you want to sip of some delicious caipirinha and listen to good Samba music.

Sneak Peek - Nicholas Kirkwood VS Fashion Show Shoes

As expected the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 brought to the runway beautiful models, breathtaking lingerie, super star performances and jaw dropping jewelry - but what almost completely stole the show and had everyone wondering where they came from....were the shoes! The incredible British designer Nicholas Kirkwood had everything to do with the show stopping glittery and sky-high heels the models were strutting the runway with. The good news is that you don't have to wait until December 4th, when the show airs, to see these amazing shoes - we have a sneak peek here!

2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - Brazilian Angels

Last night New York City was pink and lacy as the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was taking place in full lingerie force at the Lexington Armory.  The show was stunning and the girls look amazingly beautiful.  This year Brazilian Angel Alessandra Ambrosio had the huge honor of wearing the Fantasy Bra for the very first time during the show! This year's bra is estimated to cost $2.5 million, containing a 20-carat white diamond centrepiece, and delicate flowers made from 5,200 precious and semi-precious stones, including rubies, amethysts, sapphires, and white, pink and yellow diamonds. That's one Super seriously Fashionable bra!

As a Brazilian girl I just had to highlight the beautiful looks that were brought to the runway by Brazil's finest super models - VS Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Isabelli Fontana and Barbara Fialho. Take a look and don't worry - its ok to hate them a little bit (but just a little)! ❤
