Our Special Christmas Party - Brazilian Bloggers Night to Remember

Dec 13 2012

Hello my fabulous people,

The Brazilian Bloggers are taking over :) We had the most amazing party EVER!
It's Christmas time and I'm counting the days to be celebrating the best holiday of the year with my family in Brazil.
Before I get to that (which will be next week), I would like to share with all of you the amazing experience celebrating Christmas with my LA family. This past Sunday was really special to me, it was the first of many Brazilian Bloggers Christmas party. It will be a annual celebration now. It was an event promoted by the three of us: Flavia Araujo (Fromriotola blog), Nani Bergman (Lipstickcookie blog) and I(Fabulouschannel),  Thanks to all friends, and friends of friends who attended and brought their great Christmas spirits to our party.
What an amazing night!!

To describe a bit of it I would like to mention the many things that happened in our special night:

  • There is no Christmas without a beautiful house completely Christmas decorated. We had one. So thanks to the party host Patricia Leao from Brazilian Nites Events, to let us use the house for this celebration.
  • There is no Christmas without a beautiful table full of the best foods and desserts. We had a great variety of delicious dishes including the best brigadeiros provided by the Cupcake Brigadeiria(I totally recommend it), and the amazing Christmas decorated gelatin/Jello made by Mimi Guzman (delicious and beautiful) !!
  • There is no Christmas without a great deal of holiday songs and we had the best music a party can have. We had a live performance by the sensational singer Coleen McMahon. She put tears in a lot of eyes during her warm performance!
  • There is no Christmas without games and we played a very FUN one, BINGO! That was just the most engaging part of the night. The Brazilian Bloggers took the lead and went for a short speech before getting started prizing the winners of the night.We had a pair of tickets to spend New Years Even at the Queen Mary, (tickets provided by Patricia Leao - Brazilian Nites), we had bottles of wine, jewelry ,kits, and a dinner for two provided by the Pizzaria Bella Vista.
  • Ah, one more thing, there is no Christmas without tons of pictures,so, we had a Christmas backdrop exclusively created to ours awesome clicks by Livia Wippich!

Special Sunday with the Brazilian Bloggers

Dec 6 2012

Hello my fabulous people,

Happy Holidays in advance!!
Let's welcome Christmas time with a lot of love and great spirits.
I'm counting the days to celebrate it with my family in Brazil, but before that I must say that Christmas time starts here with my LA family. 
This past Sunday I had the honor to meet up with my favorite Brazilian Bloggers, Flavia Araujo (From Rio to LA) and Nani Bergman (LipstickCookie) at one of the best Brazilian restaurants in town, Gamela Grill, located at 7250 Canoga Ave, Canoga Park.
They have some SERIOUS churrasco(best Brazilian meat cut right in front of you from the grill -  bacon wrapped chicken · garlic beef · Picanha - hot dishes · and much more) a great variety of home made food. 
I was in heaven with all my favorite meats and dishes right in front of me and had no idea it would taste so homey! 
Wondering what's their differential?? Hum, a great chef in the kitchen of course... Ah, it's not just a chef, it happens to be the Brazilian mom whose daughter (Anna) owes the restaurant. They both were there to give us a 5 start treatment. We loved the visit. The food had a special taste that you will only find out when you come by..  
The afternoon was fun from beginning to ending. Thanks to our photographer Livia Wippich we had amazing shots to share with you guys a bit of our experience at the restaurant.
Now it's your turn to visit and eat some DELICIOUS HOME MADE BRAZILIAN FOOD!!
After all the eating, photos and talking, we arranged the make plans for our Christmas party coming up this Sunday. If you got the invitation, you are a lucky one. Be ready for some fun with the Brazilian Bloggers!!

Hello my Fabulous people,

Here is my message to all of you!!



Great Moments of the Miss Brazil USA/LA 2012

Nov 16 2012

Hello my fabulous people,

November 10th was remarked by another great pageant promoted by Ariel Del Mundo. It was the day Hollywood stopped to welcome the most beautiful women in the world. The Brazilians. 13 Brazilian girls were competing for the tittle of Miss Brazil USA/LA 2012 at Colony in Hollywood. The event was a success. 
Playing amazing Brazilian hits we had Gu Fidelis - singer and song writer/ along with his band,entertaining the crowd and singing for the girls walking the stage! LUXO!
The girls seemed to be having a great time. Can you imagine being crown Miss Brazil outside of your country?? That must feel amazing!!(they confessed).
The night went crazier when the Brazilian samba dancers went on stage. OMG!! The feathers,the dance,the outfits looked so awesome! 
And after the girls came in three different outfits , it was time for results. Congratulations to our beautiful new Miss Brazil Los Angeles 2012, Ana Dornelles, who enchanted our public, stage and judges with her charm, class and elegance. 
She may not have the SUPER Brazilian curves, but she has others strength. Ana conquered her tittle by showing lots of confidence, sweetness and beauty.
I hosted the pageant along with famous Dr Robert Rey, from Dr 90210 and from Dr Hollywood shows. We both witnessed it all and thought all the girls were absolutely incredible!
This year's competition was really hard according to the judges. The team of girls were really strong and they found it really tricky to decide the best ones. 
In the end it all worked out, they picked their favorite 3 and as funny as it sounds, the girls were completely different from each other, which I guess it's a great thing.
To pass the crown to the new winner I invited Miss Brazil USA & LA 2012 Fernanda Samaia on stage.Also we had Miss Brazil USA 2010 Carol Baumgartner and Miss Brazil LA 2009 Elizandra Dutra to pass the sashes to second and third place.
Here are the results:
First place - Getting the tittle of Miss Brazil USA/LA 2012 - Ana Dornelles
Second place - Alana Campos
Third place - Bruna Andrade


SPECIAL THANKS

To Dr Rey for hosting the pageant with me. He brought his surgeon knowledge to share body and beauty tips, and in general, his sense of humor was amazing for the show.I was happy to share the stage with such a fun and professional character!

To all the judges who came and took their time voting and picking the right girls. My specially thanks to my dear friend and actor Jordan Belfi, and producer/writer Barney Cohen

To all the sponsors for showcasing their brand to our show - Brasilian Blow Dry Bar - who took care of all the girls hair,Obsession Make-up/hair Academy who took care of all the girls makeup for the show, Tim Sabatinofor prizing the first place with an amazing fashion photoshoot, LazerAwaywho gave a good $1800 worth on treatment to the winner, 1015Store.com - Dresses from $10 up, and Dolce Vitta bathing suits who provided all the bikinis to the girls on stage.

To Nathanaelle Couture for lending me the two amazing dresses I wore on the red carpet and also on stage. I loved it!

Five Most Wanted Pieces for Fall 2012

Oct 26 2012

Five most wanted pieces for Fall 2012

LOS ANGELES, CA (BDCi) -- Hello, Fashionistas! The Fall season started very well for those who like their weather warm instead of chilly. Sometimes we still think we’re enjoying the summer here in L.A. but believe or not it's fall and time for some serious wardrobe change.
 
On this post, I am sharing the five most wanted pieces this season. My picks are based on the trends chosen by the top magazine editors and contributors.


Are you ready?


1. Perfect Parkas - I love these. They just came back this season. They’re perfect for chilly weather and they’re super trendy. A parka is a longer piece that works like a jacket but it's lighter, cozier and has a great slimming effect. I think it makes a pretty sporty piece.



2. Cat Fever - Well, the theme might remind you of Halloween, but cats and feline references are very much in right now. Doesn't matter if it's jewelry, cat silhouettes, T-shirts or any piece with a cat print on it, look around: It’s all over the place. So cute and easy to wear you won't believe it.



3. Peplum Pieces – Hmm, this trend is gorgeous. Like I said before, it never went away, even after summer’s gone. No wonder, it’s so classy and beautiful. So get your peplum pieces out of the closet again, keep using them. And if you haven't bought yours yet, you should get one, it's absolutely gorgeous and accentuates the waist you want to address.



4. Sweatshirts - Personally, this isn’t my favorite but it seems to please girls, women and most ladies. It's a very fall piece, very casual and, with your touch, a little chic, too. This one is a sweater-like shirt; it's so easy to wear that it becomes a must-have in your closet. That's why I've chosen to include it on this list. It looks really nice with super-tight pants and straight-leg denim because it's more of a loose-looking shirt. Check the pictures and create your own style. The sweatshirt can be found in all department stores and online, too. Super affordable! If you want to stand out, put a collar neck blouse under it and you will be sure to look stylish.



5. Deluxe Leather - Now we’re talking! I love leather and now that it’s super affordable to wear, why not use and abuse it? Fall is the perfect season to use this fabric. Keep in mind that leather won't keep you warm. It's more of a trend than a protective fashion piece. You can find leather pieces with fur inside, which are also nice. So ladies, leather is no longer limited to pants, vests and heavy jackets. Now you can get beautiful T-shirt silhouettes, A-line skirts, and every kind of piece you can imagine. So don't be afraid to look chic in leather. Go for it!!


Now go shop or even pull out what you’ve got in your closet that might be like the pieces I’ve suggested.
I hope you enjoy the choices in this week's Fashion Spotlight!

 See you guys next week with more FASHION TIPS!
