The Follow Affair

I haven't forgotten about Cannes, it's just that I have been really busy with law and studying for exams. I'll put you updated, my followers can not lose the Cannes Film Festival and I'm here to help. Fourth Day: May 16 Diane Kruger in Dolce & Gabbana - Matching her outfit with the beautiful blue sea surrounding her, she really is a fashion girl, experimenting and balancing chic and easy looks, the best of the best. I love her style on the red carpet Naomi Watts in Peter Pilotto - The perfect look from her wavy hair, make up to her accessories, all revolving around that gorgeous colorfully embroidered silk chiffon dress. The Jimmy Choo sandals are beautiful.  Natalie Portman in Christian Dior Couture - It's not shocking that Miss Portman only wears Dior on the red carpet and she did it once again. A beautiful and chic Dior Couture was her choice this time maintaining that glamorous edge we all love Natalie for. Dior and Natalie Portman really get alon...

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

Summer is here, great weather, and my maxi dresses come out of the closet. I wear them around the house, they are super stylish but so comfortable and cool for this warm weather. My best friends for summer are Pepe Jeans maxi dresses, they have amazing colors and designs. xoxo, A

I'm a huge Breakfast at Tiffany's fan, not only of the book but also read the book a 100 times. It's different interpretations of Holly Golightly but I love them both. Audrey Hepburn turned this character into the most known in the classic movies, and even the accessories and clothes worn by the character  are wanted all over the world. I already wrote about the iconic lipstick worn by Holly in the cab scene, a Revlon pink color, that I totally want for my collection, unfortunately I haven't had the time to visit Revlon in Lisbon and buy the lipstick. It wasn't only the lipstick that was turned into an iconic part of the movie, you can't talk about the movie without mentioning the sunglasses worn by Holly throughout the movie. At first I thought they were Ray Ban Wayfarer, the design looks a lot like the Ray Ban classic model but after intense research I found out the real thing. Oliver Goldsmith designed the sunglasses, the model is called Manhattan, the...

The Sisters: Alice, Nadine and Farah When you start being a blogger, you have to invest in search, know everything first, share the information and interpret the way that it fits your blog. Lately I have been finding a lot about the middle eastern girl's style, looks, fashion queens and stores. It's amazing the way they dress, lots of blood colors, not afraid to be different, embracing fashion in a really cool, modern way. Truly inspirational! The Sisters is a reality show, they call it the Lebanon Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Actually I find it funnier. Who presented this girls to me was the co-founder  of The Follow Affair, M. We love their style, it's super fresh, comfortable but not forgetting to look fabulous, even with sneakers. It's hard to choose just one sister, all their style is very different but so awesome. Another middle eastern girl that I find super inspirational, I already made a post about her t-shirts, is the graphic designer and the fabu...

Kendall Jenner Met Gala is not just about the event, the after parties are as important as the main event. The celebrities changed from their elaborate gowns into more comfortable clothes. From Rihanna to Michael Kors, the celebrities had a vast choices of parties. The Follow Affair choose the best looks. Tell us what's your favorite.

This year the theme was China: Through the Looking Glass in the most important fashion event, that gets together the most important editors, celebrities and models of the fashion industry, celebrating the opening of the new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There were a lot of looks and styles, some were fabulous, exuberant and creative but others totally missed what this event is all about, like Met Gala is just another red carpet moment.  The Follow Affair gave especial attention to the looks that respected the dress code, the way they interpreted the theme, even in little details (Selena Gomez dress or SJP headpiece) but there were looks that were just fabulous even though the theme wasn't there (Diane Kruger). Having said that, here is the best looks from the Met Gala.

Last Saturday Monsieur Louboutin attend the Vogue Festival, talking to one of my idols in the fashion magazine industry, Alexandra Shulman, the Editor in Chied of British Vogue. It seems that the two have a long relationship, having met in 1992, about the time Shulman had started working in Vogue, she went into his shop looking for a pair of heels because she wanted to look like a Vogue editor. This man has an amazing life, inspirational actually, he left home really young, and traveled the world, visited London at age 15, loving the difference between the two cities, things that inspire him until this day. But it's in Egypt where he feels more at home, where he has his summer residence and where he gets inspiration for his summer collection. Another inspiration and fascination the shoe designer has is with the showgirls from Folies Bergères, that's where he gets the sexy shapes for his shoes. Those girls could reality wear those heels, walk down stair, dance in them, tha...

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

Fringe never goes out of style! Since the flappers years fringe has ornamented fashion through the ages, having an explosion in the '70s. Back in that time the fringe helped a revolution of ideas, worn by those tired of the same system, actually if you think about it, fringe has always been always connected to changes in the world. In the '20s fringe wore worn by girls that were tired of the victorian style that persisted, they cute their hair, put on loose dresses with fringes that they shook while dancing crazy listening to jazz, liberating themselves from years of oppression. Nowadays there's not one season where fringe is not an important element and this Spring is no exception, they have conquered the urban girl, they are welcome in the city as they are in festivals like Coachella. Different and amazing ways you can wear them, thanks to the fantastic ideas designers have.  But don't abuse it, in my opinion and my style I like to see just one item with fringe, sp...

Great Monday, this week is going to be easy, only two days of college classes, the time will pass by quick. Hope you has an amazing Monday! Ray Ban Wayfarer Zara Beaded Top American Eagle Outfitters Jeggings Furla Candy Bag Isabel Marant Bekett Wedge Sneakers xoxo, A

Accessories for bags are a must, a few months ago you only worried about the accessories you were going to use, earrings, bracelets, necklace but now you need to think about what accessory your bag needs for your look to be complete. The variety is enormous, just with the Fendi monsters you have a lot to pick from and of course my favorite Karlito man. I also discovered a new bag accessory, the TchiTchi Doll. The beautiful hand made doll figures are a creation from a Lebanese fashion expert and TV presenter, Fadia Dekmak, the idea started June 2014 and the fans on Instagram keep on growing, The Follow Affair being one of them. Compare to the Fendi monsters the TchiTchi dolls are more within your price range.

The other day I was fascinated by the dress Beyoncé wore for her mother's wedding day, a beautiful white lace gown with a V neck. Yoncé looked flawless in the photo taken next to her mother, sister and friends but the important question that you should be asking yourself is: Who's the designer of the gown? And I have the answer.

What woman doesn't want to own a pair of Louboutins? I speak for myself that I would go bananas to buy the Pigalle black style, actually I had lots of opportunities to own them but a girl has priorities, I'm not Carrie Bradshaw a writer living in NYC and that can buy 500 dollar shoes everyday. Besides the Pigalle, another style that I would love to have would be a pair from the Nude collection and Christian Louboutin has just expanded the collection so that you can find your color skin in perfection and look amazing. This collection started back in 2013 and the new colors were presented in New York, Bergdorf Goodman. Nude is the best color shoe, it goes with everything you wear, it's very classic and elegant, never goes out of style, if you are wearing them with a skirt, your legs will look longer and thiner. What girl doesn't want that? If you can't have long legs give the illusion, I'm not very tall, like 169cm so this shoes are perfect. According to the...

Lauren Conrad not only has an amazing style but she also is an amazing designer and has great ideas for collections. The last one is Minnie Mouse inspired, it's super cute. Who doesn't like Minnie? I speak for myself, when I was young on Carnaval (Carnival) dressed as Minnie Mouse, I was so cute and so happy until some boy made fun of me on the street and ruin my day, it's a trauma :P This collection has adorable dresses, with polka dots, sweetheart necklines and Peter Pan collars. It's not the first time LC designs a Disney inspired collection for Kohl's - remember the Cinderella collection. I love the pictures, so girly and lovely, the red lipstick is perfect and don't forget the ears, with this pieces I wouldn't mind turning into Minnie. xoxo, A

The day went slowly but it's already Thursday so no problem. Day spent at college, studying and going to classes. Today my Marni for H&M t-shirt went for a walk, I love it for the bright colors, since I usually wear it with black, makes an awesome state.

Monday was a good day but Tuesday is being horrible! Got late to school, lost the bus, subway with problems, hate this day! It's a good thing that I brought my ballet flats. Hope my followers are having a better day than me. Calvin Klein Jeans T-Shirt Christian Dior Necklace Mango Crop Jeans Lancel Bag Zilian Ballet Flats xoxo, A

Lately I don't have time to shop, not even online, I spend my time between studying and investing in the blog. I don't want to lose contact with my followers, blogging is amazing, you get the sense of the world, having readers from around the world. It's an amazing sensation! Thank you so much!  Has I was saying, I don't have time to shop but yesterday I couldn't sleep so to spend the time I went to Zara.com to make a list of all the things that I need to shop or try at the store. The embroiled jacket is an essential piece, it makes a outfit come together, you will stand out in a crowed, very chic. Lot of bloggers have this jacket, it's so perfect for day wear. The ballet flats is a must have in your closet, and this is very classy style, black is perfect for ballerinas, Audrey Hepburn would love to wear them. Fringe sandals, what to say about this? Well, it's a trend and it's super fun. Shoes with fringes make me go bananas, I love them. With boy...

I am an unconditional fan of OPI products, it's the only nail polish I use, even if the salon I go doesn't have the brand I take mine to use. So when I heard about the new collection from OPI I had to investigate what new colors am I going to wear for this Summer. Of course a collection with Hawaii in the name had super vibrant amazing colors that will look fantastic next to your tan skin. It's hard to choose a favorite color but I think I pick "Go with The Lava Flow" , reds are my favorites or maybe "Do You Take Lei Away?" , since I like neude shades. "My Gecko Does Tricks" is a beautiful green to wear in the Summer, perfect for beach days, messy hair, tanned skin and no care in the world. OHHHH I MISS SUMMER! xoxo, A
