Mothers Day Gift
by Sofia - in Random
I wanted to share this mothers day gift I got from my girls. It´s not expensive at all but it´s somehow so perfect as it shows me how well they know their mama. It´s a vintage brooch, but not just any brooch. It´s a dragonfly. I love dragonflies!

If I could say…
by Sofia - in Random
Last week as I was watching the dress galore of the Met Gala I got to wondering about why do we want to show off so much. I mean I understand fully that if you have an amazing body, you may want to wear something that hugs you tight to show it off ( Gisele Bundchen´s back looked amazing in her Stella McCartney dress, but if you noticed her front was covered). Or if you have those legs that never end you may want to wear something to reveal them ( Karlie Kloss looked great in Carolina Herrera but again she showed leg, but covered the upper part). I´m all for that. If you do it in a classy way it looks great. But lately it seems some celebrities wear dresses from a sea through fabric that has a bit of lace to cover just the private parts. Yes they have amazing bodies, but what happened to leaving something to the imagination. For sure these are questions of taste and also probably about how provocative we are as characters. Maybe there is a statement there ( that I did not get). I´m not saying looking like Miranda Kerr in her Oscar de la Renta dress is the only viable option here ( although she did look like a lady). I loved Emmy Rossums Carolina Herrera pantsuit for instance. And don´t get me wrong I´m not appalled or sighing with disapproval, I´m mostly just getting to my point in this…
When it comes to dressing there are a few things I want my girls to take home from me ( that my mom, and perhaps a book or two, told me about dressing up like a lady). They are super simple to remember but will make you appear more like the lady in the room than… well, a (half ) naked celebrity.
