The Follow Affair

Been a long time since I made a post about my looks of the day! Such a hot day! The weather in Portugal is so good, too bad I can't go to the beach! The sun is out and the temperatures are rising and rising! Must repeat to myself: You have to study! You have to study! There's no beach outside! You have to study!

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.

Today is the day! Louis Vuitton, one of my favorite brand will showing the 2016 Cruise Collection. The place chosen by Nicolas Ghesquière is Palm Springs, in California. To be more precise the Futurist place of comedian Bob Hope and his wife Dolores, an iconic modern construction in the region, built by John Lautner in 1973. For the designer this house is a symbolic milestone, that has inspired him from the first time he saw it, being the chosen ambience for his second Cruise Collection for Louis Vuitton. The show will have 400 guests but you can watch the show in the comfort of your house, not missing any detail, live through the site of the brand starting at 18:15, local time The Follow Affair will certainly watch the show even though in Portugal it will be at 2:15 in the morning but has a fan of the brand I cannot miss this. xoxo, A

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

No, I haven't forgotten about the Shopping in Lisbon issue, I just been really busy and the next spot I want to talk about is my favorite so I want to show you everything in perfection. This first post about the avenue will be an introduction, a general view to get you all excited. It's the most important avenue in Lisbon, with ten lanes divided by pedestrian pavements decorated with gardens, connecting Restauradores with Marquês de Pombal. The avenue was built in the XIX, modelled after the boulevards of Paris and became a preferred address for the upper class. Many of the original buildings can still be found, reflecting the Portuguese architecture from the late 19th century. The sidewalks are paved with the traditional Portuguese pavement and the roundabouts are decorated with monuments and statues that pay homage to important personalities. My favorite is the Monument to the Heroes of the Great War, a tribute to the 50,000 Portuguese soldiers that fought in World War...

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

Casual Friday!Sun is out and my Red Wedding Game of Thrones T-shirt can come out of my, Rebook Easy Tone is super comfortable and for a quick visit to the city is a great footwear. T.G.I.F.

Day spent with friends in the university, drinking coffee, talking and gossiping, study time can wait. Very casual wear, I hate this weather, you never know if it's going to be cold or hot, it's kind of hard to decide in the morning what to wear.

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.

Looking back at the Spring/Summer 2015 collections we can see that the '70s are back. In Gucci, Tom Ford, Saint Laurent and Tommy Hilfiger rockers and hippies were all over the catwalks. Fashion has this way to revisit the old ages and interpret it to the twenty first century, to the needs that women have now. And I admire them for that. Not only they make new collections and trends but they show you a piece of history, the world history. That's what I love about fashion. With fashion I am not only learning about fashion and new words to add to my fashion dictionary, I am pulled to learn about the era that inspired them for the season, learning about history and expanding my horizons of the world. So, take your flare jeans out of the closet, rock those high waist pants, and live the '70s. I remember my first flare pants, I still have them in my wardrobe,  I was 14 they were white and I bought them at some street shop with old stuff, vintage. They were white, low waist, an...

A good morning post to let you know what to expect for Winter 2015, what key pieces. Skirt over Pants (S.O.P.) From New York to Paris, this trend was seen all over the runway. Inspired from the '90 we already saw this look on the red carpet, when Emma Watson rocked a Dior look for the Golden Globes. In Ulyana Sergeenko's Spring 2014 couture runway this look was all over the runway. This year this trend was seen in Chanel, Stella McCartney and Dries Van Noten. Black & White This trend is a classic, you can never go wrong, never looking out dated. Every women as tried this look at least once, it's an easy way to put to together a great ensemble. Seen on the runway of Emanuel Hungaro, Louis Vuitton and Valentino.

Nicola Ghesquière did it. Louis Vuitton belongs in the 21st century, it's not just the classic bags, Nicola Ghesquière give this house a new twist to fit in. Not forgetting that LV started as traveling company, which reflects on the bags that are miniature versions of monogrammed LV trunks that became part of the 20th. But you can see Nicola futuristic version of the mini trunks, having in consideration that nowadays when you travel what you need the most is you iPad, iPhone and the charger of course. The show was held inside space-age silver domes at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, with guests seated in each of the three domes and models traversing the rooms. And all the LV girls were there Michelle Williams, Jennifer Connelly, Chloë Grace Moretz and Selena Gomes. The opening of the show you could see fluffy cream sheepskins, the perfect trio, especially that pink hair model, Fernanda Hin Lin Ly, made me feel like I wanted cotton candy hair to go with the my new LV flu...
