Vogue-ing it Brazil style…

brazcar1.jpg

It’s only 6 in the evening here and I’m struggling to keep my eyelids up and I’m tempted to clip them back with hairpins just to stay up and not look like a complete lame-ass.  Thus far, my vision of Sao Paulo has consisted of rushed views of streets from within a car with tinted windows, reminiscent of the scenes seen from the point of view of Astrid in the film White Oleander.   Meaning, I really haven’t seen that much…

I am however, very familiar with my hotel surroundings.  Can you tell I’m super excited about hotel wi-fi?

Basically this morning I was lagging and moping around the hotel probably trying to figure out why my in-room ethernet wasn’t working and a pick me up was sorely needed. 

I did know a photo shoot was involved but I hadn’t a clue it would actually be used in print, and certainly not in an issue of VOGUE BRAZIL….apparently, it’s a six page feature in the next issue.  I think I’ve tracked every photoshoot I’ve done for the purpose of the blog here and let’s just say the results tend to be mixed.  However, I couldn’t be arsed with apprehension today seeing as complete fatigue had taken over and I just nodded and said ‘Yup, yup yup…’

Though by the end of it, I was suitably perked up purely because it did turn out to be a laugh, posing with another blogger, Melissa DeLeon of Cooking Diva (check her out…two time Bloggie-winner…).  Plus, I basically got to style myself with a minimal amount of fuss with some FANTASTIC Cavalera supersized harem metallic green and black trousers and some STOMPIN’ Pulo do Gato ankle boots.

Actually, it sounds really trite but by the end of it, dealing with new bits of frippery and looking at Brazillian labels perked me right up… urgh… I’m so predictable…

P.S. The ppl here didn’t really appreaciate my 15 second video intro and now they have to film a rather cheesy face to face version…grrr…. thought I had gotten away with it…

  13. Ooooh how fun and exciting! So great they let you style yourself as well, since that is partly what you are known for (and what you do so well)! I don’t think it is lame to be tired…but then no one ever called me hip…

  25. What a shame, i loved your video. I also love those hareem pants…they look fierce!
    Also I was wondering what make your headphones are? they look comfy.

  26. you should ask to be taken to bom retiro.
    that’s an open air topshop.
    I bet you are in jardins, where all the famous (and expensive) brands are.
    But you’d have a lot of fun in bom retiro, hehe

  28. you look so amazing and I know you don’t like ppl noticing ur weight but have u lost lots? Ur arms are looking so lithe, u look really well!

  41. you look incredible! so jealous you got to wear those sexxxy boots… as well as getting to go to brazil! it’s a shame you didn’t get to see the sights though, i’d love to visit brazil some day.

  44. hey susie,my name is adaku and i just wanna thank you for helping me find latex leggings. i’d been looking for them for months and i saw in your style diary you got yours from american apparel, so i hotfooted it over there. a bit pricey for leggings but well worth it. loving your shoot, fabulous!

  45. oh yeah and i’m from nigeria and though i’m in the us now iv been reading your blog sinve i was back home. i read an interview you had where you said you only knew about people in the us and europe that read your blog. ur big in nigeria too!

  46. You look just beautiful. Honestly, a picture of me in your position would have two giant bags under my eyes vying for the spotlight.
    Also, I have those same headphones! Which I guess doesn’t say much since they’ve gotten a little popular. But when my boyfriend got them for me a couple of years ago, they were only available in Japan, so he had to order then! Now that they’ve started marketing them in Western countries I have a tinge of bitterness, but I’m mostly just glad that other stylish music fans wanted them too.

  47. Firstly, I don’t know how you manage to keep blogging when you’re away! Thats true dedication for you! Don’t you ever take a break? lol.
    Secondly you look amazing and your hair is just amazingly glossy and straight! wow.

  49. I’m really starting to love love love those pants. At first look, not so much. But now I’m getting obsessive.
    Btw congrats on Vogue Brazil. How does life get so exciting?

  51. Congrats, that’s so exciting! Love the pants and shoes, and your hair looks gorgeous – so glossy and straight!
    Glad you had fun! 🙂

  55. Estou adorando você por aqui!
    Depois quero saber sobre o encontros dos blogueiros! O Descolex também foi e vai contar tudo!!
    Espero que tenha gostado daqui e volte sempre!
    Bj√£o.,

  59. I’m still slightly confused as to what the happened… but you’re being featured in vogue brazil, that part I get. how exciting!

  61. I have some Pulo do Gato boots, which are a little too small. Do you think I could sell them secondhand? Are they a good brand in Brazil?
