Multi Strand Necklace
I like big necklaces, but I was never a huge fan of gold until about two years ago. This piece, bought at a fashion market in Williamsburg, has saved many outfits from boredom, including white tee shirt and jeans.

Top Shop Union Jack Clutch
I’ve always tried to understand why some people, who have no relationship with Brazil whatsoever, like to wear our country’s flag. Some kind of emotional connection? Pure aesthetics? The truth is, the reason probably varies a lot. When I was 12 I used to tell my parents I wanted to live in London; where all [...]

Cohn Knuckle Ring
One of my everyday favorites. From: Cohn at Galeria Ouro Fino, in São Paulo. By the way, if you can’t make it to Brazil, OAK NYC carries a selection of really cool knuckle rings.

Nooka Purple Watch
I was never good with analogue watches, although, like most humans, I ended up getting used to them. Just in time to start learning how to read the time all over again, with the Nooka I got from the Poke. And it’s purple, like many of the things I own these days.
