Hi there!

Summer is upon us and I’m so thrilled my favorite brand from Brazil, Farm Rio, is now global and we can shop them online! They always do colorful looks and beautiful tropical prints that are fun and festive. I got out in LA recently wearing this new skirt of theirs (and a previously blogged about Topshop crop top) and Tory Burch wedges I just scored in the Nordstrom sale!

Photos thanks to Rishi Mehta. Farm Rio I’m so grateful for you being more accessible now and I don’t have to wait until I go to Brazil to see family to shop at your beautiful stores!

Xo,

Hi there!

For this week’s post I wanted to shout out For Love & Lemons for another perfect party dress that I’m so happy to be wearing for an occasion: my NYC farewell party as I leave soon to move to Los Angeles (but I’ll be back and forth)! This party dress called the Guilded Star Mini Dress was just on sale! I love that I can style it by day with nude wedges and my LV Speedy like I did in photos above, and for night I swapped out wedges for a black star boot from Free People and my YSL black medium Kate evening bag!

Who says sparkle can’t be worn by day? Fashion rules are made to be broken! 

Xo, 

Carolina
