  2. Camila Alves Interview with Hebe Camargo (in Portuguese) Can anyone translate? What does she say about Matthew McConaughey? I believe she discusses how they met and she also refers to him as her husband?
  3. Whisked Away with Camila Alves (http://hydrogen-mag.com/archives/80) She breezes into Hotel Shangri-La in a pale green maxi-dress and not a stitch of make-up. She doesn’t need it. Camila Alves is one of those rarest of women; stunning in a way that seems almost impossible, a Brazilian gazelle who is much more than a pretty face. She is a strong mother, international model, bag designer and philanthropist. Warm and open in a way that is entirely sincere, Alves sits down with us so we can discover what makes this dynamic beauty tick. THE ALVES FILES HOMETOWN: Belo Horizonte, Brazil BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY: Spending time on the farm. 3 CLOSET STAPLES: Long flowy dress, black pair of high heels, a mini skirt. LAST FASHION FIND: A black pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps MANOLO BLAHNIKS OR LOUBOUTINS: A little bit of both! 3 MUST-HAVES IN YOUR MAKE-UP BAG: Bronzer, black eyeliner pencil, and lip balm.

  6. Her own bag: model Camila Alves crafts luxe leather handbags (Published: Thursday, January 06, 2011, 6:25 PM, NOLA.com) Matthew McConaughey wasn’t the only one in his household hard at work while he was in New Orleans recently shooting the movie, “Killer Joe.” Brazilian model Camila Alves, McConaughey’s girlfriend and the mother of his two children, held a trunk show here to introduce her handbag line, Muxo, to the local fashion scene. The event packed a Champagne-sipping crowd into the tiny upstairs showroom of Designer Social, the handbag and accessories shop above Scriptura on Magazine Street. Alves started designing handbags about five years ago with her mother, who had worked in fashion and interior design in Brazil. The leather bags have a polished tribal feel, from the hand-cut fringe and pinwheel-like flower appliques to cryptic symbols, whipstitching and distressing. The look is “Gossip Girl” meets Pocahontas. Alves, who’s as charming as she is beautiful, moved from Brazil to Los Angeles when she was about 16. She spent her first few years in the United States cleaning houses and waiting tables before her modeling career took off. By 19, she was walking the runway for Carolina Herrera and posing in ads for Armani. “When I started modeling, I started to make money, and I began to think about ways that my mom and I could do something together,” Alves said. Traveling for her modeling gigs required a really good handbag, one that could stand up to the rigors of airplanes, hotels, cabs and backstage craziness. “Every handbag I had would break or fall apart,” she said. “The ones that did stay together, the label handbags, everybody else would have it.” So Alves and her mom came up with their own design. “People started asking where I got it,” she said. “We started making them out of our garage. We couldn’t hammer in the middle of night, so we put everything in our car and would drive to a parking lot so we could hammer without bothering anyone.” The line now features more than 60 clutches, totes, shoulder bags and satchels. “We still touch every single bag,” she said. “We do the distressing. We don’t teach that to anybody, and you can’t machine copy it.” The bags range from $212 for a small, casual shoulder bag to $1,800 for a large fringe statement piece. Alves spent two months in New Orleans this fall while McConaughey was working on the film. She said the whole family was charmed by the city. And though they have two small children in tow these days — son Levi is 2 years old and daughter Vida just turned 1 — Alves says she’s not slowing down. “I grew up with my parents working for a living, and I never plan to stop working myself,” she said.

The two bought groceries and some flowers. Levi looks more like Camila every day, though he has Matthew's curly blond locks! Such an adorable family.
  9. Are these the same pants she wore @ Disneyland? I love that she doesn't mind wearing something twice (or more)in public, unlike most celebrities.

  13. Matthew McConaughey to team with O.C. nonprofit By Fermin Leal, The Orange County Register, Published: June 9, 2011 Actor Matthew McConaughey and partner Camila Alves will appear Saturday in Anaheim to announce a partnership between their youth group and Santa Ana-based non-profit THINK Together. Santa Ana-based THINK Together, a nonprofit that provides after-school and other services to inner-city schools, will partner with actor Matthew McConaughey's youth foundation to offer nutrition and health programs at two Orange County campuses. THINK Together and McConaughey's j.k. livin Foundation will begin programs this fall at Century and Valley high schools in Santa Ana aimed at promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles among students. Founded by McConaughey and his partner, Camila Alves, the j.k. livin Foundation provides after-school programs for thousands of teens in large, inner-city high schools. The foundation works with schools across the nation and in other parts of the world, with students learning to set attainable goals, plan nutritious meals, exercise and give back to their communities. THINK Together already provides services that include after-school tutoring, summer enrichment and other programs to dozens of local schools in Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and surrounding areas. Through the program, participating students will receive healthy snacks and learn about nutrition. They will also learn about fitness through workouts including running and lifting weights. McConaughey and THINK Together representatives will officially announce their new partnership Saturday at the nonprofit's annual fundraising gala at the Anaheim Hilton. Randy Barth, founder and CEO of THINK Together, said the partnership with the j. k. livin foundation comes as his organization prepares to launch a major program expansion in an effort to reach many more at-risk children. "All of us at THINK Together have tremendous respect and admiration for Matthew and Camila's foundation, and we can't think of a better partner with whom to reach thousands of additional at-risk children with our shared messages of hope and promise for the future," Barth said. "The partnership will expand upon THINK Together's model of scalability and unique ecosystem of support that is enabling us to surround schools with learning." In addition to Valley and Century high schools, McConaughey's foundation and THINK Together will also launch similar programs at Gladstone and Azusa high schools in Azusa.

Matthew McConaughey Suits Up For Lunch With The Family Posted on Mon Jun 6, 2011 09:35 AM PDT Matthew McConaughey and his gorgeous ladylove Camila Alves headed to church this weekend with the family ... then headed to lunch in Malibu at Cholada Thai Beach Cuisine. We can't believe how much their kids have grown. Levi, 2, and Vida, 1, look like a handful, but the little tots are such cuties! See Levi grabbing all the attention ... after the jump. http://www.x17online.com/celebrities/matthew_mcconaughey/matthew_mcconaughey_camila_alves_food_lunch_church_060611.php
