The Follow Affair

Blogging has so many benefits and one of them is connecting you to the world, meeting new people, brands and online shops. By now you must know that I love the middle east and fashion there is growing and so are their fashion offers and shops, lately I fell in love with this Instagram online shop from Jordan, Retraw_ . Has amazing clothes and accessories, and you want to buy it all but for now I would take the bag with the eyes, so cute. I first saw Haya Awad, the creator of the Karlito t-shirt , with one and wanted to know where could I buy it. They have all the same size, since mini bags are the IT bags now, they are perfect, and you can choose different colors. Ohh I want them all, but I would be happy with just the red one. Beside being beautiful they have the right price, only 55 USD. Which one is your favorite? xoxo, A

Nicolas Ghesquière really knows how to bring the Parisian soul to the California state. On Thursday Louis Vuitton presented the Cruise Collection in the Bob Hope state and I must say that Nicolas impresses me every single time. Not only he revolutionized the most important symbol of the brand, the bags, but he also changed the brand itself. The show counted with numerous celebrities and some of the brand's muses.

The new summer collection from Louis Vuitton is fantastic! It has two main themes, first is the "V" inspired from the Volez, Voguez and Voyagez advertisement from the '60s. Nicolas Ghesquière is really inspired by the history of Louis Vuitton how it all started, with travel luggage. I really appreciate what he is doing for LV. Second, the introduction of the "Ramage" pattern, you get a sense that it was inspired by under the sea landscapes and colors. This is truly a summer collection. Got to visit the Louis Vuitton in Lisbon to take a peek at this collection. xoxo, A

Louis Vuitton is my favorite bags when it comes to bags, I already wrote a post about it but my love for the brand keeps on growing and I want my collection to increase, so here is my new obsession the Petite Malle. Mini bags are super in right now and I haven't acquired one, for me the Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Monogram is the perfect choice. What could go wrong when you have a bag like this? xoxo, A

Mansur Gavriel has the IT bag for this spring. On Instagram a see constantly pictures of the bucket bag with red interior color. The bag sold out pretty quickly, it was an overnight sensation and everybody wants a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag . Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel met in a concert and became friends even though they weren't living in the same continent, - Rachel was in LA while Floriana lived in Berlin - so they conceived the line via email. The collection is perfect and for a leather quality bag it's not very expensive, is the right mount you want to spend in this type of bag. But in The Follow Affair we thought that maybe you still don't want such a big commitment or that for some the bag is not that cheap, so we want to give you an alternative. I love bucket bags (remember the Louis Vuitton Noe), super fun, over one shoulder, easy to go and can carry a lot of stuff. Alessandra Ambrosia was already seen with the Mansur Gabriel Bucket bag.

I have known LouisVuitton company ever since my mother bought her first bag, since then I fell in love with the company and when I grew up and came in 2008 to study in Portugal I wanted to represent a brand like LV. Such a big connection I created to the brand that not only I like to use their bags but I study the brand by reading books and trying to understand the beginning of LV. I understand the philosophy LV stands for and in a world wide market it's important to have that specific thing that distinguishes from other luxury brands. LV is such a valued brand that since it was founded, 1854, the brand had to fight against copies of the models. And now has a really hard philosophy and drastic measures against fake.
