My shop and I are in relationship.

...And it's the best ! We met in San Francisco.

Cottage

I remember when I moved in San Fran.

After 3 months of undiscovered desert beach spots hunting on the Brazilian coast, we were ready for another hunt! We were looking for The perfect Californian cottage to live in. A little wooden house lost in a prairie where we wanted to escape!
How come we've missed this one?

Red Yellow and Blue Chairs in Transit.

I'm crazy about chairs !
All kind of chairs...
I wish I could keep them all.
But, there is a but : The shop is pretty small.
There is no room for 3 extra chairs!
And my striped pink and green chair will probably be jealous too...
I know she will.
They will all look good though around a rustic wooden table or even a glass round table top.
If I had to keep only one, I'm not sure witch one I will go for...
Probably the blue ?
Right now there are in transit at the shop.
If I keep the blue one, it will match the sofa and blend well with the floor too.
So ok, I'm keeping the blue one!
Decision made.
Please come by and pick up the other two!

POD and seed + Aline's Closet

I had the pleasure to meet Mary Podgurski, the owner of POD & seed: an amazing flowers+event+ design company based in California, San Francisco. Mary works with some of the best, to name a few she is a florist for Relais & Châteaux property and Restaurant Gary Danko! You can imagine how blessed I feel to collaborate with such a talented florist! Have a look at her beautiful blog:

Mary carefully selects the finest flowers and plants and designs them into unique arrangements ! When she dropped the flowers at the shop the other day it instantly changed the whole store! I'm in love with the pink orchids, really, they bloom in profusion: I never seen so many flowers on an orchid before! Pointless to describe the succulents: they brings such a peaceful atmosphere to the shop and add a natural chic "je ne sais quoi" !

It's been a while since I wanted to carry some plants and fresh flowers at Aline's Closet. I'm so happy this time is now: how perfect this is for Spring and soon-soon Mother's day !?
To quote one of my client : "The flowers are beautiful and they are so reasonably priced! " That being said, I believe everyone should care for a plant in its life, a plant they can water and watch grow: it's a good feeling, flowers bring joy to anyone that take a nano second to look at them...The plus? Not only they'll warm up your heart but they are the perfect size for your apartment!

Now, remember nothing it's eternal and that's very true for flowers...Mary selection include four varieties of succulents and flowers very low care and high performance! Come by and pick one while they are still blooming-Thank you POD and seed -The shop has never been that "naturally" cute !

Ad-venture!

I've always been an adventurer! A real adventurer need a bag just like this one.

RoofTopShoot!

One of the good thing about leaving in a great city, like San Francisco is that you meet people!!
I'm glad I met Zach Gomez, a talented photographer who was able to capture the really best of me...you can check his work on his website here: fullpotentialphotography.com
This is a quick pic of our last shoot on a rooftop- To start with...I'm wearing a white and red slim striped men shirt, my favorite washed out "black" jeans and my Melissa Love Robots pink and green heels that I bought in Brazil-Laidback Style...

The world in a shoe box

I just created another blog. The 2nd on the list! It's called : " The world in a shoe box " It a blog about everything you can put inside a shoe box, that is not only a pair of shoes...I've always been fascinated by tiny things in general -have you ever wonder why my shop is so small ? ;)- Everything small is cutter! With "The world in a shoe box" I wanted to express my 'endless love' for fashion and shoes, my fascination for miniature objects and photography and my craving for traveling ! Because space is limited in a shoe box, it will make my researches more condense and really interesting! But wait and see, You will be amazed with the quantities of stuff that can fit in a shoe box! This is my rule: As long as "it" fits in a shoe box "it" can be on the blog- Of course, once in a while my shoe box will go back to her primary purpose being a shoe box, and that will be the time for me to become a super shoe curator and stylist to show you my best shoe's picks from both women and men footwear collections !

Inside my shoe box you will travel! I will tell you so many stories, captured by images and emotions ! Welcome to " The world in a shoe box"
By the way, my shoe box holds woman shoes sized 8,5/ 39 european for woman...and heuuu let me ask my boyfriend shoe size..(it might be useful to know as well!) Just in case you feel generous, at some point, in the course of our relationship!
