As a result, we had the chance of seeing the new collection and also creating outfits using the latest collection of the store. 


Alessandra and Isabele (also known by their nicknames Sandinha and Bebel) are twins and have been running the business since 1999. Their incredible good taste and their ability for creating very nice outfits have being recognized since they were young. As a result, everybody was pretty sure that they would be very successful professionals in the fashion area!

At their store, they have a variety of innovative and modern brands. The best from their services, is that they are constantly helping their clientele to pick the perfect outfit.
These are some brands which they offer at the store: lya, bo.bo, thellure, Giuliana Romano, Missinclof, Talie, A. Niemeyer, Marcelo Quadros, John John, and Alexandre Birman among others.

A Creed of Fragrances!


CREED

Why are these fragrances so good?

Two scents from this brand have been my favorites for around an year:

Creed - Love in White and Creed - Acqua Fiorentina. And for men: Green Irish Tweed.

Suddenly, I realized that this brand is so popular among top celebrities and European royalty, but why? 


These are some of the reasons:
  • For more than three centuries, those fragrances have being done manually in an unique way
  • The company was founded in 1760 and was passed from father to son since then.
  • Creed has served more than 10 royal houses and the discerning public for 250 years. 
  • Creed is one of the 100 oldest family businesses in the world.
  • Based in Paris, the company adheres to unrelenting high standards in fragrance creation and client service.
  • It uses methods of hand production, including maceration and filtration,  instituted at the company's founding. 
  • Creed is the industry's strongest proponent of natural ingredients in fragrance, using very few alcohol in their mixture that makes the smell from alcohol not so strong.
For those reasons, Creed has a loyal clientele that includes royalty, Hollywood stars, political leaders, legends in business, sports, music and the fine arts as well as discerning members of the public who value beauty and quality in scent.

My favorites:
 For Women
Worn by: First Lady Laura Bush, Shania Twain

Around the world with Magrella's Winter Collection!


While the US and Europe stores prepare for the Spring/Summer season, in the southern hemisphere, Brazilian stores are busy introducing their new winter collections!

Let's start by visiting the capital of the country...Brasilia!

While walking around Brasilia city, EntreNouZ made a stop by "Magrella", which is a well recognized store that has  been at the top of the market for 38 years.

Considered as a very sophisticated store, with a great location in a nice area of the city, Magrella is a simply perfect! With 21,528 sq. ft., they really have all you need!  You can find many options and be sure you will always be dressing well considering the huge selection of hign end brands that they carry.

The collections are amazing, as well as the way in which it is presented in the store! We really loved the organization of the store, especially of each corner inside the store, taking into consideration the size of the place!

We spoke with Juana Ferreira, who is the Commercial and Buyer Director, who told us that they started thinking about the window display in October when they purchased clothes from the "40 years" collection of Roberto Cavalli, where a major element was animal print!

Complementing his collection, they (Magrella store) chose to prepare their national preview for this season, where they focused in leopard print and smooth tones and tints such as shown in the images. And of course, they couldn't miss the fur. Furs are coming in every shape and with full force this winter, both real and faux furs.
