Sao Paulo Fashion Week Brings Something New

Once again, my attention turns to the fabulous designs that graced the Brazilian catwalks. Sao Paulo enjoyed a fabulous Fashion Week with a variety of talented designers.





I have to say that this is one of my favorite dresses that I saw on this particular runway. I love the goddess effect and how free flowing it is as well. The pop of gold is also a fashionable touch. This dress and the below are creations of Marcelo Quadros. This strapless dress begs to be danced in and paired with super cute strappy heels.





This dress is another fabulous dressy number that not only has the shimmery effect because of the color but also because of the fringe as well. This is yet another great piece to pair with strappy heels and chandelier earrings. It's nice to have "that dress" on a night out where you want to make sure that everyone knows you're there!





This dress is definitely a dramatic piece with its white and black motif. Samuel Cirnansck makes a pieces that is definitely one that you would expect to see in an exhibit showcasing a designer's emergence into stunning fashion. I can only imagine the expressions on people's faces as this piece hit the runway.





You know that I love bathing suits and this one is a favorite. I love this suit by 2nd Floor. I think my favorite part is the side tie. I love the purple, turquoise and red that play well together - like a festive party. Also note the bangles - so cute.

A Little Rio Love

I can't wait for the day that I go to Brazil. The fashion scene must be amazing. From evening wear to bathing suits and back, the designers know how to dress and the people know how to wear the looks. So of course, I'm presenting a variety of collections and designers from Fashion Rio Spring 2007 in Rio de Janeiro.





I love the regal royal blue of this outfit! This outfit by Mara Mac is absolutely stunning on this model. I also love that it's a dress and a bit of a jumper as well. This off the shoulder look is definitely sexy. With strappy heels or wedges, this is perfect for an outing!





I love this goddess effect and will definitely look for this designer. I love anytime there are natural elements that assist to enhance the outfit. It's amazing that this event took place outside in a beautiful building.





I am all about swimwear and loved the pieces by Salinas' both the picture above this text and the one below are created by this talented designer. Of the two images, I have to say that I love the one below. The model looks amazing in this suit and I wouldn't mind having this within my own collection.






Tessuti's design with the belted cover up over the bathing suit is simplistic and elegant at the same time. I love the neutral tone with a little kick in it. This sems like the perfect ensemble to wear in your cabana with a few friends.





Grace Ottoni's beautiful dress caught my eye and made me remember one of my favorite Barbie outfits at the same time. The outfits are nothing alike but I will share anyway. There was a Barbie entitled "Peaches and Cream". This dress was my absolute favorite - I loved that it was a ball gown with a sheer flouncy body from the waist down. I loved twirling my Barbie and seeing the dress spin out. I always felt I should have a dress like this. The dress above isn't Peaches and Cream but it's a sexy Tangerine Gift! I love how it ties in back and begs to have seriously strappy heels to pair with this. How perfect would this be with a clutch - I love it!





You can never have enough bathing suits and fortunately, designer Cantao agrees. I love this bathing suit which looks like something you would wear to an exotic, out of the way Fiji or Bali resort. I love how relaxed and laid back this suit looks. Sometimes you don't have to have all the flash (although it's always nice).

The Universe Collides in a Fashionable Way II

There are a few more images of the world's fabulous Miss Universe contestants. Although she has already been crowned, you can still enjoy the parade of nations!





Carolina Raven, Miss Aruba 2007, has a vibrant costume that is my second favorite of all the contestants at the fashion show during this past Miss Universe. I wonder how heavy some of these costumes are. I definitely think of the ocean when I look at this costume!





Rosa Maria Ojeda, is Miss Mexico 2007, and definitely looks super sweet in this skirt. I love the print on the skirt and the fact that it's a large circle and the cute hat is a great touch.





Miss Canada 2007, Inga Skaya, is super cute in her homage to the national sport of Hockey. How cute is she? I love the navy and white with that sporty look.





Miss Maria Jose Maldonado, Miss Paraguay 2007, looks fabulous in her plumage. I love the purple, black and silver colors. It must have been amazing to be there in person seeing all these items.





My favorite outfit is by Miss Brazil 2007, Natalie Guimaraes. I love the butterfly effect and the mauve hues. So cute and once again - how are they able to stand in these costumes!
