interviewee

My 6th+++ interview today was with Club Monaco.
Took a picture of my outfit during my lunch break before I had to go back to work at Zingara.
Normally, I dress more casual.. Yesterday's outfit was for my interview with Michael Kors.
If you haven't had Chick-fil-A, you're missing out!

I was super excited to wear my new studded skirt, it has a zipper 0n the back and pockets!

the white skirt

I still can't get enough of my pencil skirt from Zara I got during the summer.

Worn today with top Forever 21, blazer vintage, skirt Zara, necklace Tiffany & Co. and my brass knuckle ring.

At our Zingara Swimwear fashion show in August, I wore it with earrings from Zingara. I love these earrings! I won't lie, they're heavy after several hours.

Back in July, Zingara girls went out to Soma Sushi. I wore my skirt with a necklace I got at the Hippy Fair in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

Rio recap

Here are some pictures from when my boyfriend and I were in Rio de Janiero, Brazil back in May.

Rio was bikini heaven for me!

Ipanema Beach wearing Zingara bikini bottom, Old Navy top. Yes, Old Navy.

Zingara Swimwear bottom

bottom I got from a local Brazilian vendor

Copacabana Beach wearing Cia Maritima top, Zingara bottom.

or maybe Australia....

Zimmermann has such a cute collection that maybe I should go to Australia instead of Brazil..

If only their bottoms were brazilian cut..... love them!

Luiza Bonadiman in Brazil

Some hot Brazilian swimsuits!
Her S/S 10 collection, got to love the bondage suits!

Her S/S 08 collection. So cute and flirty! Love the pastels with the ruffles.

Thinking about going back to Brazil instead of Australia..

Lisa Blue in Oz

I'm planning a trip to Australia in January for a short swimwear course. I'm curious what I might learn from them and it gives me an excuse to visit the outback.

Lisa Blue

I love the aboriginal feel in her fashion show.

Zingara stole me

I've been absent because Zingara Swimwear has been keeping me busy, along with my trip to Brazil, rendezvous to North Carolina 2 weeks ago, and Las Vegas this coming weekend..

www.zingaraswimwear.com has opened a store in the US and is located in my hometown, Houston!

can't go wrong when fun, bright, & brazilian!

Yay!
I have been waiting for Salinas to come out with a line that was more innovative then the past 3 years.
My favorite was their 2005 swimwear. I'll have to dig up pictures from my old hard drive later.

brazil has it

I've been doing a bunch of research on Brazilian swimwear designers since I'm going there end of May.

I discovered another interesting brand just now, bancodeareia.com.br

Blue Man is another awesome swimwear line


I cant wait for Brazil, hopefully I'll get to go to Rio's Fashion Week next year too!
