1.) What piece in your closet gets the most wear?
Honestly I love a cotton tank top, which is the most basic piece of clothing ever but also the most versatile! I love wearing tank tops with pretty much everything, either alone or layered. I love the look of a tank top and a mini skirt. If I had to pick something a little bit more exciting I would probably say my purse collection! I love a fun bag and browsing The Real Real for vintage finds! I also have a custom leather Fendi Baguette by @ez_cowboy on Instagram, it has a picture of my dog Bow painted on it, as well as so many other cute things that mean something to me <3
2.) What fashion trend are you currently loving?
Currently loving that colour is trending! I love the aqua blue and coral colours that have come back in again for summer. I have a few pieces in that aqua blue colour that I love, and I think it looks so good on everyone! I also think it is funny that coral is back because I picked out a coral BCBG dress for my 8th grade graduation and to be honest, I would probably wear it again now! I think its fun that everything comes back around again, that is why it is great to save your really great quality pieces for the future!
3.) What trend do you think deserves a comeback?
I think you should wear whatever makes you feel good always. Whether it is trending or not! But I do love to see what trends come in and out each season as someone who enjoys fashion and styling outfits. This trend never left for me haha, but i think we should bring back the brooch! Think when Carrie Bradshaw wore her massive flower pin. You can literally change an outfit just with a new brooch, I like to add them to plain dresses I have to spice them up, but you can also even add them to shoes!! Honestly the possibilities are endless.
4.) What is your favorite All In The Detail piece? How would you style it and where?
I love the look of the new collection with all the lace and embroidered details! But I love the Ramona Midi Scalloped Dress because I love baby blue and white together and i think the print is so timeless, perfect for a little summer farmers market. I also love my Graca Bow Rattan Bag. You can't go wrong with a Jane Birkin esque basket bag!
5.) Is there a Portuguese dish you could eat every day?
My all time favourites are when my mom or Avo make me caldo verde or Bacalhau à Brás, just writing that I am craving both right now!! Such staple portuguese dishes that you can never go wrong with. BRB texting my mom to make me these when I go visit next lol!
6.) If you could spend a month for the summer anywhere in Portugal, where would it be and why?
Ouh! Right now I would love a summer beach getaway so probably the Algarve. I also have so many outfits in my head that would go perfectly with a walk around a coastal town, having a crisp Sumol Ananas by the water, and eating yummy seafood dinners with my family. Can't go wrong with the beautiful scenery there either!
