Nail Art + Medieval Joint Armor Ring

 Nail polish: Chanel Rose Caché + Chanel Black Satin

I am huge fan of  Black nail polish. I was trying to find a way where the black would stay intact and longer in my nails. Inspired by Carpio.

Michele Lamy, wife of Rick Owens reveals her secret:

"I’ve heard you treat your nails with henna. Can you explain the process?

It’s not the traditional Indian henna, but a similar Japanese vegetable dye that’s used to cover grey hair. It last forever and never chips. It’s a good matte black."

Snood

I was searching for a solid black scarf without success. I entered at ALLSAINTS and an associate recommended a snood, because they were out of solid scarfs. Snood is part scarf, part hood. I've been always fascinated with hoods. I think is because I come from a very religious family where I could see around me all kinds of saints with their veils and hoods. In my teens,I became a "goth" and wearing a hood was impossible in the city where I come from. It gives a sense of nostalgia, serenity and mistery(i.e. darkness). This is like a monstrous funnel neck that you can "attach" or layer to any kind of tailored jacket or knit you have.

Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein

Who does not love Calvin Klein? Francisco Costa, who is Brazilian, is going to celebrate his country at this one-time event in Macy's - "A Magical Journey to Brasil", designing a capsule line for Calvin Klein. His inspiration came from the architecture in Brazil and its sunset, rather than bright, happy colors and striking patterns that Brazilians designers are known for. It will be an original asset, uniting minimalism and Brazil. Almost all of Macy's 800 stores will have something Brazil-related products: beauty, home, men's wear, accessories and art. During the promotion, they will benefit the Amazon Rainforest. Thanks god, a Brazilian spoke my tongue.

Tobias Ikea Chairs

Essas cadeiras do Ikea "TOBIAS" acabou dando um ar mais moderno a esta nossa mesa velha. Tinha comprando uma mesa com pernas de metal e topo de vidro que ainda está empacotada, mas acho que ficou com mais espírito reciclando a antiga.
