It Runs In The Family, My Cousin!

Meet Gorretti Pina, she is an author  and designer in Lisbon, Portugal and also my cousin. Her brother who passed away a few years ago, was also a great and renowned artist. Yes, the arts run in my family – both parents side. So, even if I wanted to, I could not escape it. She has written two books, poetry and fiction and is making her mark across the portuguese world. I hope to see her showcasing her collections one day in a major runway show.

Shoping Palooza

IMG_9617The ladies came to shop and shop they did. Although, the rain kept some away but the few that showed up, went in a shopping palooza. It was a lot of fun. The food and drinks were also great.
