I adore some of the too sweet not to be worn looks from Luisa Beccaria's S/S 09 collection. I really don't mean to inundate you with the sugary, feminine, and overflowing, but I can't help myself. These days it seems things that flow, look soft, and of a certain colour palette gets my heart pumping. There was a major flower theme in this collection, but the looks below are what rocked my senses.

SheBreathes is officially 3 years old!!! It's been a joyous ride thus far. I feel truly grateful, because this place has been my inspiration and form of therapy for a while. I never thought this little virtual space would grow to have readers. I found my "real" footing two years ago, missteps and mishaps aside, I wouldn't change a thing, because the turtle always wins the race {smile}.
Thank you to each and every person who reads this blog, who leave comments, who find inspiration, who have linked to SheBreathes, sent words of wisdom, who have sang praises, thanks for the e-mails, the invites, the features, the credit links, thanks for being an inspiration to me. Thanks for being a part of this journey, because without you it wouldn't have been as fun, or such an awesome learning experience. Thanks for sharing my vision of a space that doesn't shun or cater, but shares.
I wanted to make this space reflective of my world and how I view it. And I hope for the precious time you spend on SheBreathes that you always find something that sparks the imagination and puts a smile on your face.
Muito Obrigada for 3 beautiful years and I look forward to many more!
And my theme song, hehe. Cheeky good fun!
Beijos e amor, always.
I've been patiently waiting for São Paulo + Parisian based boutique Surface2Air to get in some more Isabela Capeto. But while I'm waiting I got a lovely view into Tsumori Chisato's S/S 09 collection, since they're the ones who have been creating her campaigns for 8 seasons. I love that the clothes are set against such a rich and colourful background! Her prints are always amazing and I can't wait to see more! The photography was done by Serge Leblon.

There is a new addition to the SheBreathes family! I'm a Mac girl to the hilt, so it makes me a very happy girl to have the Mac Pro Book as part of the family. My trusty Macbook will still be my traveling companion, but this is pure sweetness. She's been outfitted with PS CS4, but she needs to get use to her new look + home, hehe. We have the tools, and we're ready for NYFW and beyond. She compelled me to reveal, it's not always about the designers {smile} but the technology that propels as well. This is 3 years worth of blogging being upgraded, not to mention she'll be used for work + play.
Some of the fotos were taken with my other trusty family member, the Canon SD750.

They want you to wear black. They want you to abandon colour because of our current economic status. I want you to wear colour. To be more optimistic with a bit of realism. I want you to watch a smile form across the face of a stranger as they check-out your ensemble. So, for a bit of inspiration check out Annalisa Dunn + Dorothea Hagemann of Cooperative Designs. Their S/S 09 collection debuts at Barneys soon. See these pieces in person. Let the stripes and bold pops of colour spark your imagination and escape a bit in the form of fashion.

I adore some of the pieces from New Zealand based Jewelry label D_Luxe, by Megan Oliver + Karie Higgins. Their interior architecture design background comes through via the styling of their newest collection dubbed "Dream Weaver". Every piece is perfectly lit, accenting the gold charms + necklaces, in all the right places. The props offer leverage, enticing you to explore more + indulge your need for something shiny.

I'm a huge fan of Brasilian designer Julia Valle, but I also love that she does a lot of cool collaborations. So, of course when I saw the work she did with Daniel Rodrigues for Brasilian label Printing getting some much needed press and adoration — I was very happy! Below is a just a snippet of looks I liked from the A/W 09 collection of Printing. There is a lot of satin, silk, and art-deco prints on display. There is plenty more to see from this collection + Julia's work, so be sure to visit + explore.

I've featured the lovely Haji Couture Accessories before and decided to revisit and see what was new. I came away loving a few of the new pieces, in gorgeous purples + greens. Feathered cuffs + necklaces have been added to the line-up, so be sure to visit, explore + indulge.

I was on NJL again and came across the work of Central Saint Martin graduate + knitwear designer Hanako Narahira. The pieces below are from her "Trace 2008" collection, which the designer says was inspired by the graffiti on the Berlin wall. I love the colour palette, from bursts of yellow, and orange + green against gray, to pretty pastels. It's one of the most vibrant collection of knitwears I've seen.
