Theory series will explore items, trends, personalities, and creative journeys from the inside. Last year I decided to create scarves, an accessory that is versatile, stylish, and playful, with endless possibilities. But even though I was immersed in the creative process I was developing, I never really took the time to investigate the accessory itself, its origin, evolution, and meaning.

For me, my best memories rarely come from the biggest plans. They usually come from moments of connection, from stepping outside my own thoughts and just being grateful and present for an evening.

So these ideas come from a simple perspective: dressing for the night, making yourself feel special without relying on sheers, sequins, or velvet.

Talina is an independent jewelry and accessories brand focused on handcrafted pieces. Unique designs made with wood beads and other materials, developed as a creative artisanal project with a very personal origin story.

With the upcoming celebrations, planning ahead can really help with the inevitable Christmas gift shopping. Whether it’s for a partner, a sister, a cousin, or anyone else, doing everything last minute usually leads to buying the same type of gift over and over again without giving it much thought — and ending up in that repetitive cycle we all know too well.

Inspiration exists in many different forms and processes for each individual. Being inspired can’t be categorized into a single creative process, it’s different and often complex for everyone.

However, inspiration can be seen as a combination of knowledge, taste, and what your surroundings provide. That combination gives creatives the freedom to explore, play, and imagine – to truly be inspired and create.

Second-hand fashion often feels like an ethical free pass —it’s affordable, pre-loved, and environmentally friendly. But it’s still consumption, and when done excessively, it can perpetuate the same issues as fast fashion: clutter, waste, and a lack of intentionality.

I’m taking this as a personal challenge and putting together outfits with shirts to show their variations and versatility. Not that I want to mention it, but I think some of it comes from having the OCD of ironing them perfectly or not wearing them at all — but let’s not discuss the little details.

There are many different styles, shapes, and structures for creating interesting shirt looks. My personal favorite? Definitely texture.

Anouk opened a door full of possibilities to me, giving me my first job in Barcelona — and in life, outside of modeling gigs.

Six years later, I can call her one of my most beloved and close friends in Barcelona. We worked together for almost three years in Brandy Melville, and I have to admit I owe her trust in me since day one.

Clothes might be just clothes, and definitely are not an element of necessity, but what for others might be sports, painting, or any other hobby, for those who find themselves playing around, they’ve got the meaning you decide to give them.

Even though I do have a ‘capsule wardrobe’, I’m not the biggest fan of that principle. I’d rather experiment outside of what might be considered the essentials and play around with the dynamic of having special garments. However, there are some pieces in my wardrobe that definitely resonate with who I am and the way I like to project myself.

I’ve told myself a thousand times that I’m not the “wearing black all the time” kind of girl… but, like we all do, I tend to lie to myself more often than I care to admit. Reflecting on that thought, I started remembering all those moments when I chose to go for a total black outfit — sometimes because it was easier, sometimes because it felt sexier, and sometimes simply because it was what I wanted to wear, with no specific reason at all.

What really sparked this idea, though, wasn’t just thinking about my outfits. A few months ago, something shifted. Without fully realizing it, I started buying all-black accessories — and suddenly I had a small collection of beautiful, discreet pieces that elevated my looks without trying too hard.

Feeling comfortable in your own thoughts depends on the determination and time you invest in your path to feel confident about the decisions you make, and the things you defend and care about.

The 25 things I find joyful in life are the ones that make me connect in one way or another—on a deeper level with myself, and on a deeper level with other individuals. They are the small details that transform basic conversations into meaningful interactions. The feelings that reconfigure your system when something is not working properly—when you can’t stop worrying about the same things and you feel overwhelmed easily.

September feels like a whole new year, and if you ask me, time moves so fast that reinventing yourself after nine months into the year and starting to reorganize and reconnect with your inner self right after summer –when the breeze turns hotter and heavier, especially in our own minds– sounds like the perfect time.

The past few months have been very intense in my daily life, and deep down I understand that I was following a path that was taking me to a very self-demanding place –which I really like and enjoy– but I am a firm believer that everything also has its own time, and joy should always be more present and tangible than anything else for the ecosystem and rhythm of life that I look forward to building.

We’ve followed each other for a while now and have been interacting and engaging with her content. I’ve felt truly inspired by the consistency and determination she has shown over the past few years.

That led me to invite her to collaborate in this blog segment, where she shares her summer recommendations and gives us the chance to get to know her a little more

This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about enclothed cognition, self-perception theory, and the law of attraction working together. The moment I started dressing like my future self, everything shifted—my mindset, my confidence, and the energy I attracted.

Over the past months, I’ve been thinking on the psychology behind dressing as your future self. I believe we’re all in constant evolution and the way you choose to show up visually is a powerful and direct signal to our subconscious mind.

The way we choose our clothes—at least for those of us who are passionate about fashion—is not just about how we want to look, or how we want others to see and perceive us. It’s about what we express, what we transmit, and what we feel through this non-verbal, communicative tool. One that can shape memories and personal growth as time goes by.

In today’s article, I want to revisit the things that have made me happy—the moments I truly enjoyed—and imagine what I’d wear now to relive them, to keep creating new memories with the same warmth.

She’s originally from Rio de Janeiro. Passionate about art, photography, culture, literature, and people, she’s one of those humanistic souls living life with the purpose of spreading happiness.

Why do we always believe that clothing must be ours—must be owned, in order to have value or to attain a certain social status? What if ownership wasn’t the point, but rather the experience?

A good routine, one that not only allows you to achieve a healthy balance between daily stress and intrusive thoughts but also helps you enjoy the journey of living.

Confidence. Silhouettes. Softness. Summer is the ideal time to embrace vibrant colors, lightweight fabrics, and relaxed silhouettes. Here are some key trends and essential pieces to consider for your summer wardrobe

I did something for the first time today. I re-read all the content I've been writing over the past few months. I think carefully about what I want to share and how I want to say it, but once I have the idea, I try not to overthink it. That way, I avoid falling into the trap of constant editing and procrastination.
