Dress - Feira Hippie

Good afternoon! I am in Leblon, avoiding being home while the empregada is there. I went to the gym this morning and didn’t eat anything beforehand - always a mistake. It’s too hot to do that sort of thing. I gave myself a fat headache so I thought I’d go see a movie and bring my computer to work on a few things while I was out and about. These are activities that allow one to be inside with free air conditioning during the heat of the day. My friend decided he wanted to come to the movies so I’m waiting until after six when he’ll be free. I ended up getting a pair of Melissa sandals at the mall. Melissa is a Brazilian brand that makes fancy, grown-up jelly sandals haha. All my nineties babies will remember the good ol’ jelly sandals. I’ve eyed a few pairs but part of me didn’t feel like they were my style. I love the ones I got - matte beige with a sporty heel with visible traction. I’ll definitely be posting an outfit in them soon. 

Boa tarde! Estou no Leblon, evitando estar em casa enquanto a empregada está lá. Fui à academia esta manhã e não comi nada de antemão - sempre um erro. Está muito quente para fazer esse tipo de coisa. Eu me dei uma dor de cabeça gorda, então eu pensei em ir ver um filme e trazer meu computador para trabalhar em algumas coisas enquanto eu estava fora de casa. Estas são todas as atividades que permitem que você esteja dentro com ar condicionado livre durante o calor do dia. Meu amigo decidiu que ele queria ir ao cinema, então eu espero até as seis quando ele estiver livre. Eu acabei adquirindo um par de sandálias de Melissa no centro comercial. A Melissa é uma marca brasileira que faz sandálias de geleia adultas e caras haha. Todos os meus bebês dos anos 90 se lembrarão das boas e velhas sandálias gelatinosas. Eu olhei alguns pares, mas parte de mim não parecia o meu estilo. O amor que eu tenho - fosco bege na cor com um salto esportivo com tração visível. Eu definitivamente estarei postando uma roupa neles em breve.

Headed to São Paulo

Silk Scarf - Mamma | Top - Boohoo | Earrings - Vintage

A quick update! I am headed to São Paulo this morning to visit Leah. She is thinking of moving here to Rio for the Summer so I thought I’d take advantage of her still being there for a visit. I’ll be back Monday, hopefully with some awesome photos and stories to share!

Uma atualização rápida! Eu estou indo para São Paulo esta manhã para visitar Leah. Ela está pensando em se mudar para o Rio para o verão, então eu pensei em tirar vantagem dela ainda estar lá para uma visita. Eu voltarei na segunda-feira, espero que com algumas fotos e histórias incríveis para compartilhar!

Creek Catch-Up

When I first pulled into my mom's driveway a week ago I was greeted by Aisha, a girl I used to babysit when I was in high school. My mom was giving her mom a massage and she was waiting patiently in the living room. It was a lovely welcome home to get to catch up with her and hear all about her soccer stardom, graduating from 8th grade, and playing violin. When she asked me if I'd be willing to give her a photography lesson I was very flattered (with the little that I know). So, this week I met her after school and we trekked into Lower Park with a camera and some iced tea.  It was mostly us talking and sharing funny junior high stories ... there are so many to choose from. Here are some of the photos she took of me after a bit of a "lesson." The ones I took of her have been added to the Portfolio tab above.
