I've been so busy lately, but it's been a blessing in disguise. I have so much stuff planned for you guys, I can't wait to share!

FRINGE FEVER

May 17, 2015Bruna Camargo

Fringe is my favorite trend of the year. I love how it can enhance any piece – boots, bags, jackets – by adding a boho flair to them.

It may be a little hard to style because you can run the risk of looking like you're headed to rodeo, BUT when done right, it can really have you saying "get on my level" sartorially to everyone.

I would usually recommend keeping neutral on your other pieces, but as you can tell, I didn't stick to my own rules. :)

I took a bold chance with this look: the fringe, the printed pants, textured bag, colored glasses... But hey, like Lena Dunham/Hannah Horvath says, "magic happens outside your comfort zone." Boom, and now we all have fringe fever.

Port: Amo as franjas como tendência esse ano. Eu adoro como totalmente muda qualquer peça - na bota, bolsa, ou jaqueta - dá um toque boho a mais.

Chega até ser um pouquinho complicado montar, porque você pode correr o risco de parecer que está indo prum rodeio, maaaas fazendo direitinho, fica super chic!

Confesso que fui bem corajosa com este look: misturei as franja, com calça estampada, textura na bolsa, e mais o óculos colorido... Mas gente, como Lena Dunham/Hannah Horvath sempre diz: "a mágica acontece fora de sua zona de conforto."

E pronto! Agora todas piram na febre das franjas.

We're Engaged!

May 02, 2015Bruna Camargo

I originally had planned to use this shoot to share ONE piece of good news with you guys. But Pedro is a sneaky man, therefore here come TWO pieces of great news.

Meu plano original era usar esse shooting para compartilhar UMA notícia boa com vocês. Mas o Pedro é um cara espertinho e sorrateiro, portanto aqui vão DUAS novidades maravilhosas.

1) I've partnered with Neiman Marcus to showcase their versatile and gigantic selection of designer pieces. They've cordially invited me to pick some favorites to style into StyleMile looks and I couldn't be more excited about this partnership!

1) Em parceria com a loja Neiman Marcus, eles me convidaram para mostrar a seleção gigante de designer pieces super versáteis. Escolhi uns looks super bafos para o StyleMile e não poderia estar mais animada com a parceria!

2) WE'RE ENGAGED! I kind of gave that part away on the title. And if you follow me on Insta and Snapchat @bruntunes, you probably caught wind of it last night. :)

Here's how the proposal happened:

I had JUST gotten home from Neiman Marcus, and I couldn't wait to shoot my pretty picks. The sun was going down so I was hurrying Pedro along to take some photos. As I was adding some final touches, I hear him come into the room and say "Wait, there's something missing, I think it'll make you look even prettier." So I, exasperated about the sun quickly setting, let out a big sigh and said "Okay, whaaaat!?" Haha, oh and did I shut up real fast!

I turned around, and there he was, the boy who's grown into a man by my side, down on one knee, hands shaking grasping a little box with a sparkly piece of jewelry inside. I couldn't tell you what was shining harder, the ring or his eyes.

2) Nós ficamos NOIVOS! Eu meio que já estraguei a supresa no título do post, mas tudo bem. E se você me segue no Insta e Snapchat @bruntunes, você provavelmente já sabia desde ontem à noite. :)

E foi assim que aconteceu:

Eu tinha acabado de chegar em casa da Neiman Marcus, e eu estava querendo muito já fazer fotos! O sol estava se pondo, então ali estava eu, apressando o Pedro para tirar as fotos. Enquanto eu colocava os toques finais no look, ele entrou no quarto e disse: "Peraí, mor, tem uma coisa faltando, acho que vai te deixar ainda mais bonita." Então eu, pouco calma e delicada (gente, o sol tava indo embora! kkkk), dei aquela suspirada e disse "Aiiin, o queee!?" Haha, e como fiquei quieta rapidinho!

Eu me virei e lá estava ele, o menino que virou homem ao meu lado, abaixado em um joelho, com as mãos tremendo, e dentro delas uma caixinha com algo brilhante dentro. Eu não consigo me lembrar o que brilhava mais, o anel ou os olhinhos dele.

How you look when the man you've loved for 7 years asks you to marry him. — How you look when the man you've loved for 7 years asks you to marry him.

I think I said yes.

Acho que eu disse sim.

So then he carried on with the blog pics, because WHY THE HELL NOT?! The sun was still going down! Hahaha!!

Aí né, continuamos com as fotos porque aqui a gente é profissa. Hahahaha, ai gente.

Now I don't wanna get TOO sappy here, but for those of you who know us, you know how tough our road has been to this moment. Two and a half years of a long-distance relationship weren't easy. He moved to Michigan from Brazil so we could be together. We've lived together for 4 years and we somehow managed to not kill each other, even though I keep taking over more and more closet space. But nothing was ever guaranteed in this life.

It still isn't.

We fight, we challenge each other, we laugh and we cry. But we do it all together. First comes love? No. First come respect and friendship. And that's what's most important. What was once a dream of ours is now a reality. Forever is just around the corner.

Não quero ser muito sentimental aqui, mas pra vocês que nos conhecem, vocês sabem o quão difícil foi o nosso caminho até este momento. Dois anos e meio de um relacionamento a longa distância não foram fáceis. Ele se mudou para Michigan do Brasil para que pudéssemos ficar juntos. Moramos juntos há 4 anos e de alguma forma conseguimos não cometer nenhum homicídio até então, mesmo quando eu domino mais e mais o espaço dos closets. Mas nada nunca foi certo nessa vida.

Ainda não é.

Nós brigamos, nos desafiamos, rimos e choramos. Mas fazemos tudo juntos. Primeiro vem o amor? Não. Primeiro vem o respeito e amizade. E isso é o que é mais importante. O nosso sonho agora está se tornando realidade. O pra sempre tá logo ali.
