About Muxo by Camila Alves: Fashion forward and functional, the MUXO by Camila Alves collection for QVC is inspired by Alves' experiences in both New York and Brazil. The name Muxo translates to "Goddess of the Water," tying to Alves' Brazilian roots and is intended to represent the mysterious inner beauty of women. Many of her bags are influenced by the colors and materials of Brazil, while the practicality, durability and size is based off of her experiences in New York. The end result is a stylish, yet practical bag ideal for the average woman's busy and active lifestyle.

Here's the answer, straight from the horse's mouth. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23009999/ns/...ArtRqQY1o.email "McConaughey met Alves, a 5-foot-11 model and budding actress from Brazil, at a restaurant in Los Angeles two years ago. It’s the first woman that I’ve met that I haven’t met through friends,” McConaughey said. “That doesn’t really happen too often. I saw her across the room and I couldn’t get my eyes off of her. “So I invited her over and started making a margarita and then I noticed right away that this was not the kind of girl you just want to wave over. So I got my butt out of the chair, went over there and introduced myself and said, ‘You can come over and bring any of your friends you want to back to our table.’ And that’s what kind of got her to come over in the first place.” McConaughey said they spoke Portuguese and Spanish for the first 25 minutes of their conversation before he asked her out. “And I haven’t wanted to ask anyone else out for the last two years,” he said."

Camila Alves' Style Evolution Camila Alves’ style is proof that you don’t have to wear a mini-skirt to be sexy. Instead of flashing her gams, Alves often wears snug, knee-length and mid-calf dresses for a subtle sexiness. The Brazilian bombshell also knows how to make a dramatic entrance with voluminous gowns and high-collared dresses. But on more casual days with her new fiancé, Matthew McConaughey, and their children Levi and Vida, the yummy mummy takes it down a notch down in shift dresses, denim and simple tops. http://www.stylelist.com/2012/01/27/camila..._n_1235687.html

Muxo Handbags by Camila Alves by Purse Lover Sue on January 25, 2012 (http://thepurselover.com/2012/01/muxo-handbags-by-camila-alves/) As the world’s leading fashion designers take to the runway to show their latest collections in New York City, QVC will once again offer viewers a front row seat. Tune in to catch the latest collection of the luxury handbag line from Brazilian supermodel and television personality Camila Alves. Muxo by Camila Alves is scheduled to air Friday, February 10 during QVC’s presentation of Fashion Week – Live from New York. Fashioned from the finest quality leather with hand-stitched details, MUXO closely resembles its sister line of couture bags, which came about when Camila was modeling in New York City during her late teens. Due to the immense popularity of Camila’s last two collections for QVC (they have sold incredibly well and consistently garner 4-5 out of 5 stars from customers on QVC.com) the network is dedicating an entire hour for her MUXO line on Friday, March 30 at 8pm ET. All of the pieces in Alves’ new collection range in price from approximately $180 – $300. The bags are all fashion-forward and functional. Muxo by Camila Alves Leather Messenger, Approximately $279.00 Available in Black/Cognac and Blush/Peach (PICTURED: Whiskey/Gray) “This is a spin on a classic handbag silhouette. We added the MUXO flavor with handmade details, fringe for movement and amazing colors; a very classic look!” Muxo by Camila Alves Leather Square Hobo, Approximately $261.00 Available in Black/Sedona Sage, Sedona Sage/Cognac, Blush/Peach (PICTURED: Cognac/Whiskey) “This is a fun, everyday handbag with hidden features and tricks. It’s got movement and the more you use it the softer it gets.” Muxo by Camila Alves Leather North-South Tote, Approximately $297.00 Available in Gray/Cognac (PICTURED: Cognac/Gray) “This is nicknamed the ‘spy’ handbag because it has hidden compartments that every woman needs to hold her secret weapons! There are even two front straps that can hold your umbrella or some great magazines!”

*NEW VIDEO* Camila interview, great Q & A on handbag style. http://www.younghollywood.com/videos/fashi...e-bag-lady.html "Camila Alves: Haute Couture Bag Lady We head to the Nordstrom at Westfield Topanga where we catch up with Brazilian model-turned-designer Camila Alves, who gets us up to speed on her gorgeous couture handbag collection, Muxo. She explains the meaning of the name, introduces us to her personal favorite from the line, and reveals whether or not her famous hubby Matthew McConaughey had any input. Stick around for Camila's handbag Dos and Don'ts! Hosted by Nikki Novak."

From PopSugar.com, 12/15/2011 Camila Alves might be the other half of one of Hollywood's most famous actors, Matthew McConaughey, but the Brazilian beauty can easily outshine her man both on the red carpet and off. Besides being a model and mom, Camila is also the designer of handcrafted handbag line Muxo, which she founded with her mother in 2005. "They kind of go with anything and are very lightweight. We are very proud of the quality of the leather," Camila shared about her bags. These days, she mainly wears her favorite one, the Queen of the Sea all-fringe bag, to drop her kids off at school, to the gym in Beverly Hills, then to the office. And when she's hungry, Camila told me, she loves to grab Italian fare at The Sage Room (28915 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, 310-457-0711). If you want to meet Camila and see her latest, never-before-seen Muxo creations, head to Nordstrom at Westfield Topanga (6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Canoga Park, 818-884-7900) tomorrow, Dec. 16, from noon to 5 p.m. To give you an idea of what you might expect to see, the inspiration behind her latest collection is America. "We've been on the road for about nine months and basically took inspiration from different cities from the United States that we passed through," Camila shared. "We used cow skin for the bags that have the cowboy look to it. Then you have this amazing bag called the New Towers after the Twin Towers in New York. It's made out of velvet and all made by hand." Add one of your favorite Muxo pieces to your holiday wish list.

12/9/2011-Camila Alves Takes Her Lil' Learner to School~Celebrity Baby Scoop Camila Alves was seen taking her 3-year-old son Levi to school in Los Angeles, Calif. on Thursday (December 8). Levi's long hair was covered in a cap, just like his mom! The Muxo handbag designer and Matthew McConaughey have been together since 2006. They also have another child named Vida, who is nearly two. Alves has said, "I have never been a 'fashion follower' so to speak, but I have always known what I liked, what I did not, and why. I look for fashion accessories that fit my lifestyle; they need to be sexy--to keep me feeling sexy--but more importantly, they need to be durable. With two boys running around, I look for fashion accessories that will accommodate their needs as much as my own." Photos: GSI Media

Who Wore It Best? Julie Bowen vs. Camila Alves in Manish Arora (wetpaint.com 11/29/2011) We simply couldn’t take our eyes off Julie Bowen at the 2011 American Music Awards on Sunday, November 20. Her sparkling Manish Arora frock was the perfect blend of seductive and laid-back, putting her gorgeous gams on full display. The Modern Family star added peep-toe patent Loubs for a sophistication spin on the funky dress, while a loosely-twisted updo was a sexy and effortless touch. On September 25, model (and Matthew McConaughey’s GF) Camila Alves stepped out at the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s Iris in the same sequined mini. Pairing the dress with similar platform pumps and an equally glamorous ‘do, nearly the only difference in their looks was Camila’s edgy black polish! We’re calling this one a tie. They both look drop-dead gorgeous! What do you think? Who wore it best? Camilla wore this look first and it seems that Julie imitated the look (dress, shoes, hair). My vote goes to Camilla. Julie's hair is competeing with the dress. Currently, Camila is losing to Julie in the poll, 22% to 44%. You can vote & see results @ http://www.wetpaint.com/modern-family/arti...in-manish-arora
