doctor, doctor

Had a consultation with a new doctor yesterday. Very, very cute. I have to return for a follow-up consultation next month and am already planning an outfit to wear. Something that says "feel free to examine me" in a non-whorish way.

Anyway, have a good weekend.

animale + neon

There are two labels in Brazil that really rock my boat. First up is Animale. Here are a few of my faves from their Fall/Winter 2010 collection:

Then there is Neon, which has really grown on me, especially due to their use of prints and colour. Again, some faves also from their Fall/Winter 2010 line:

50 years old

Yesterday Brasília, Brazil's capital city, turned 50. (Read about its creation here).

I lived in Brasília for 8 years and it has meant a lot to me.

This is a picture I found of French actor Jean-Pierre Léaud (on the right) and some guy in Brasília, probably taken in the 1960s. Léaud is the star of one of my favourite films of all time, The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups), by François Truffaut. The Brazilian National Congress, with the white columns and large dishes on the sides, is behind him.

There's no place like it on earth.

pen pals

I really, really miss having a pen pal. Used to have one, this girl from Australia. We were friends in school, but we both moved away and maintained our friendship through e-mail. Then she came to visit me some years later and turned out to be this colossal bitch. Some relationships should remain only in writing.

Anyway, I really want a pen pal again.

apiece apart

This morning I discovered apiece apart on 2 or 3 things I know, and I have fallen in love.

I want to dress like this all the time. Here are a few of my favourites from their current and past collections.

this morning

I like it when it's chilly and very sunny.

(The view from my living room.)

That's what São Paulo is like this morning.

lost in pictures

LOST is one of the greatest things to ever happen to television.

Jared Stumpenhorst, a talented American illustrator, knows this too. So he has come up with the LOST 356 Project. To make LOST inspired illustrations during the sixth and final season of the groundbreaking show.

I want to own all of these illustrations. I might just have to.

forever is in sweden

She probably doesn't need any help in getting people to notice her, but I must advise you to check out Forever is Today. A lovely blog by Hilda Grahnat, a 23 year old graphic design student from Sweden.

Sweden is where it's at, people.

sally pring

I've spent the weekend trying to finally decide what will go on my yellow bedroom's walls - my postcards, my vintage records... Hopefully I'll have something to show soon. As I looked through Bodie and Fou for some inspiration, since they gave me this idea once (which is very much in progress). Suddenly I came across Sally Pring, a London-based illustrator.

Totally fell for her work, which can be purchased via her website, if you have a Paypal account:

I love her lines and colours. I want them all.

no, no, no.

This is not right. This is very wrong.

I'm going to go vomit now.

Ok, that's it for now.

For now.
