The One Where She Prances Around In Minty Green

So I finally decided to shave my legs (first time in weeks!) and decided that the occasion called for stockings. Which, in turn, called for heels.

DRESS Platinum Mall in Bangkok | SCARF Mango | SHOES Charles & Keith |

STOCKINGS stolen from my mother's closet (but originally from Harrod's I think?) |

ARMBAND beach seller in Rio | BAG Patricia Nash (similar here) |

HAIRPIECE & EARRING feria de Bolsón

Actually, this is what I wore to my birthday dinner. We dined Italian (like Michelle) and let ourselves splurge a bit (although I would dare to presume not as much as the Obamas). While the place itself was fine, the tiramissu (not a typo; rather, Brazilianified) was divine (rhyme not intended, but certainly enjoyed).

It was really not quite so sad as I make it out to be in that first picture - what happens is sometimes I get self-conscious about my smile, and decide to go for forlorn instead. (Other times I get self-conscious about my non-smile and spend a day wandering around with a manic grin permanently plastered across my face.) Actually, with two churrascos* under our belt for this weekend, and a few potential new friends, it feels like we're finally coming into our own in São Paulo. Sadly, we are leaving soon.

But I suppose it's the necessity of situations like these that serves as the mother of the invention of the phrase c'est la vie!, and really, that is just the way it is, isn't it.

But all in all, my life is seeming pretty fabulous at the moment. Apartment in Rio for Carnaval 2013 has been booked, sambadromo tickets bought, extra party money set aside - all that's left are the costumes! Ironically, I've been a SATC fan since the age of 14 and I still don't own a tutu - something needs to be done about that.

*churrasco=Brazilian barbecue

Hahhaha I shaved my legs for the first time in weeks today, I suppose it looks quite warm where you are but where I am in England in the snow there's literally 0 point my legs won't be coming back out for a good few months yet!

That's a pretty boss arm cuff. Also, I think you have a great smile - no need to be self-conscious at all! Hahaha I've been a SATC fan for forever too and I don't own a tutu either. The travesty!!
