Spotted: My girls & I

June 1, 2010

One day, when I was 11, my dad decided that it would do our family well to move to a FARM.
A month later, there we were. Tinny town, in the middle of nowhere.
On our street, you could see ONE car passing by, twice a day: my dad leaving and coming back from work.
The closest thing to our house was a bar. Three miles away!

InĀ  school, everybody was somehow related, and every single one of them was italian and very catholic. The words “nona” and “caspita” were thrown around just like that. The city’s priest would often come to my classes and throw some holy water on my desk, and call me the “mormon girl”.
I felt like an alien, from day one.

Until I met them. They rescued me from spending the whole break reading Harry Potter behind the school. After a few lessons on their weirdness, I was good to go.

Ten years later, and we stand strong. To celebrate our sisterhood, we took these on my last trip to Brazil.
I’d be nothing without my girls.

And now, some fancy ones of my beauty queens:

Aren’t we lovely?

XOXO,

What a trip!
I woke up bright and early to go pick up these 2 amazing girls for our little adventure. The idea for these outfits was hanging in my head for the longest time. I called it “Daddy’s working shirts”, and thought it would go perfectly with a beach scenario. When I got to their house and presented it, they loved it. Their dad’s face when he saw them leaving with a bunch of his hangers was priceless.
Our 2 hour trip was amazing.
I am aware of how breathtaking the landscape is in Brazil, still, I can’t help but being awed every time. There is no greener green in the world, I swear. The mist in the air is almost magical. The sound of birds and the sound of trees being tickled by the wind are the sweetest melody my memory ever had the pleasure of registering.
We took the cutest little boat to get to Honey Island, and this little trip itself already made my day. The island has its little restaurants, and bed&breakfast, even some houses here and there. It looks almost untouched by men though. Man and nature are perfectly blended over there.
After walking for half an hour, we arrived at this desert beach- the kind that makes your heart melt on the spot.
This location has everything to do with the girls. Natural. Beautiful. Simple.

SISTERHOOD.

Mr. G, would you move there with me and live off of coconut water? Pleaseeeee?
