Adopt a granny that can knit for you

It's a real luxury to have a grandmother or a mother that knows how to knit and that have time to make your favorite scarves and hats for you every winter. So, if you are one of the average ordinary people like me, that don't have this luxury, you'll enjoy this great web created by Jérémy Emsellem called Golden Hook where you can choose a granny to knit your favorite scarf or hat, just the way you like it. Thumbs up!

New year, new life, new blog

In my previous blog O Coelho da Alice, I said good-bye (please refer to my last post) to the crazy character simbolized by the white rabbit (clumsy, late, stressed), to welcome a new phase, writing about other things I like such as fashion, travelling, arts, cinema, dance, etc...
The new blog has a more minimalist style, that I hope you enjoy.

Choosing a name was a hardeous job, since I wanted to mainly write about fashion but balance the content with other fun things I enjoy as well. Therefore, with Vavá's help, I finally decided to name it Reparando em Tudo, which means literrally 'Noticing Everything', a Brazilian expression used especially in fashion circles (and by fashion victims, of course).

To illustrate the first post, I picked a photograph by Jim Skea, that is gorgeous and very representative not only of a new start, but also of the hope new years represents in my country of origin, Brazil (the photographer's wife holding and feeding their newly born son Caetano under a bridge in Bofafogo, Rio de Janeiro, during New Year's fireworks).

The heading illustration is not the final one yet, but it is one of the final sketches. My colleague Sandra (great illustrator from Barcelona) is finishing the last details, and it should be ready soon...

New year, new blog, new married life (oh yes), new flat and lots of hope. Good vibes to all and see you around...

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Guys, the white rabbit (or O Coelho da Alice) is retiring and very shortly I will be launching the 'Noticing Everything' (or Reparando em Tudo in English).

Hold on, be patient... while Sandra finishes designing the heading this weekend ok?
