Love Hate Relationship: Melissa

Hello!

Happy Monday!

Today I will be talking about my love-hate relationship with Melissa. No, it is not a random girl. It actually is a shoe brand from Brazil that makes really cool shoes make of plastic (that smell amazing btw).

The Brand

Melissa is, as I told you before, a Brazilian shoe brand, that are produced by Grendene. They first launched in 1979 and their first model got the name of Aranha (spider). Which were inspired by the sandals that were used by the fishermen of the French Riviera.

For quite a long time, the brand was a huge success in the adult public. In 1986, Melissa started making shoes also for the little ones, and lauched the so called Melissinhas (little Melissas). They would come with special accessories, which make all the little girls want them all the time!

BUT... The brand that I and most of the girls my age know, only started to actually get noticed in 1994. And in 2000 the brand went back to growing more and more.

Now, different well known designer are invited to customize the brand's shoes, such as Jason Wu, Vivienne Westwood, the british stylist J. Maskrey (hers are one of my faves, they have beautiful cristals as detail) and many others.

Now, they also have these cute ones that are for the little ones, which makes me want to have a little baby girl and just make her wear all of them.

My impressions

I've always loved the style of the brand, their designs are beautiful and the stores smell amazing.

Even though the brand has all these amazing shoes, they are still made of plastic, making it a bit hard to be worn. You can of course wear their boots, I've seen it a lot in Sweden, since it is rainy and they are pretty cute. But the ballet flats are a bit harder, specially if you have to walk a lot, my feet hurt a lot and I get cuts and everything since I walk a lot around Denmark. In Brazil I can easily wear them, though. One pro is that they sandals are really cute and they don't hurt at all and they have all sorts of cute designs. 

Here are a some of the ones I have:

Bonus!!

Check out some of their ads! It is sooooo awesome...

This one is an old school and in portuguese, pretty funny...

Hope you liked it! You can check out their online store here, if you are from Brazil. Or you can go to Solestruck, which also sells Melissa! :)
 Tell me in the comments your Love-Hate relationships! :)

Yay or Nay: Monochrome

outfits from Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta and Michael Kors.

Hello!

It is time for another "yay or nay"! Today it is all about trendy monochrome. Which I am completely in love with! Last year we had lots of pastel colors, but now they have been replaced by the chic and classic combination of black and white.

I have been seeing a lot of stripes, polka dots, houndstooth and many other different patterns in the classic colors. Here are a couple of pieces that I thought were pretty from topshop and could easily be added to anyone's wardrobe! They are cute and could still be used even when the trend is over. That is what I always do, I try to first buy things that are trendy but I can definitely still wear them after the trend is gone! :)

 Another thing that has been very popular is the use of neon lime green in some of the combinations, which I particularly like and it is always good to add a little pop of color in your outfit, and lime green looks absolutely beautiful! Here are two outfits that I saw from Zara's website, I think that they are gorgeous! 

You can obviously wear something that you like and add something from the trend. That is what I always do! Make it your own, that is all that matters! :)

So, what did you guys think? Is it a Yay or a Nay? Tell me in the comments and also tell me other things that you would like to see in the Yay or Nay series!

Love,

 Mariana
