Brazilian Designer - Patricia Bonaldi

It has been a few weeks now since the Fashion Show but  brazilian designer Patricia Bonaldi is making my heart beat faster this season. When I look at her designs some names that cross my mind like Balmain, Marchesa, Givenchy, Pucci... but inspirations come from everywhere, right? It can get even better with a brazilian twist! I've been drooling over her designs for a while and I feel that right now she's in her peak moment! The new collection looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Lace, silks and the spectacular beading work that as far as I know is hand made in Minas Gerais, south east of Brazil. The neon beaded dress will be in my dreams for a while... I'm sure of that! 

 With all the glamour and sparkles, The Copacabana Palace, couldn't be a better choice to show case the amazing designs! Patricia Bonaldi you rock!!!

To complement the designs in the Fashion Show, the shoes, excuse me, "The Shoes" - Luiza Barcelos another name to keep in mind why don't I have little hearts like in the iPhone???   to die for! 

The accessories also by Patricia Bonaldi, the spiked tiara (looooove, need!), belt, bracelets & minaudière... OMG! last but not irrelevant love her choice of make up for the show!

Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade

I can't find enough excuses to dress-up! Ok... besides supporting Gay Pride and knowing for sure I'd have a great time the dress up part is always fun even if its last minute.  Maybe it was my frustration of not being able to attend EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) in Las Vegas. I thought about it for half hour and a few phone calls later I found my self in West Hollywood wearing a pink wig and my new fringe dress... gift from Rack 75!!!  Some times I wonder why I wasn't born in Lady Gaga's body!

Yeah!!! Gay Pride!!!

My Look - Beach Wedding

Last Saturday I attended an amazing, intimate wedding on the Beach in Malibu, California. I played wedding planner to help my friends since they decided to have it last minute. 

Everything was perfect and very romantic! The bride wore an amazing Carmella gown designed specially for her by Katheryn Rice. It was a simple silhouette, strapless, side slit and a trein made out of very delicate venice lace and an Amnesia rose Bouquet. I had never seen this type of rose before, they looked vintage with shades of lavender, rose and cream just gorges!

I was running around giving "inspires Mi" touches, so of course no shoes at the beach! But I had a couple of choices in my bag; an Alaia T strap flats and a high heel Zara strap sandals were my choices for the reception. Of course I can't get enough of my mini Chanel Bag... it was a birthday gift 3 months ago... the hardware is all black which makes is so versatile that I just can't stop wearing it!!!

Last week I had a girls night with my BFF & super talented Rack 75 designer Lorrayne Mathias to see the Bolshoi Ballet, Swan Lake. 

We had a blast! It was my first time watching a ballet plus Lorrayne was a ballerina growing up so it was very emotional for both of us. Of course the occasion asked for a little extra glam but the funiest/coolest thing was that we dressed in matching colors solely by coincidence, it must be the connection! 

My friend Giselle and her mom, visiting from Brazil, got last minute tickes that again by coincidence were a few seats away from us. 

We finished the night at the brasserie next to The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, somehow downtown Los Angeles felt very Parisian that evening...
