ladyblue_design Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Well we have our imperfections and I am sure she does also. Plus a lot of us are wroking moms and after 6 weeks its back to work or if we are lucky 3 months. So we dont have the time like Camila and other fortunate people to take time and take care of ourselves. I had a baby 3 yrs ago and it took me a while to get things back but I wore a bathing suit bc #1 I am a human and not perfect #2 bc God made me and I appreciate the body that was given to me. plus being a mom is a blessing and woman who go out of their way to make sure their body is perfect after having a baby doesnt appreciate the gift of life.I am sure you are very beautiful and have a great body and again I am jealous that you live near a beach!!! Enjoy Europe and what part are you going to. ? Quote
ladyblue_design Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Camila Alves and Bettina Duncan at Fred Segal's So her bags will now be carries at Fred Segal's . Shopbop and Kitson will no longer be carrying her bags due to low sales. So hopefully this will work out at Segal's because you dont want to burn any bridges with the stores in LA. Its a small family out there and they all work together. And if you are not familiar with Fred Segal's store it has small stores or sections within each other. Bettina Duncan is also Brasilian and she has a section of her favorites items and also she has her own jewelry. Quote

ladyblue_design Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 HERE AT THE FIRST ANNUAL BRAZILIAN MOVIE FESTIVAL. I am not a big fan of the dress. It also makes her look skinny. I hope that she is not pressured with being skinny. I like her with a little meat on her bones. Quote
ladyblue_design Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 i dont like the look. its like her head is too big. Shopping on melrose for a watch. Quote
ladyblue_design Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 here is an article i found about muxo bag. from my xperience about these bags. when they first launched a year ago i bough several of them on her website and had a couple of emails from camila herself. but as time grew on a lot of my friends were not receiving their bags fro 2 to 3 months. and would not get any email response either. I told them that maybe bc they are all handmade that it might take time. shopbop carried them but also had them after 2 months at 70 percent off and now kitson is. from reading the article i think that as a single mom myself it is hard to sometimes to balance work and my child and school. So maybe its hard for her as a new mom. also i think the prices are a little high for a new designer. but again theya re hand made. even if her mother is the master mind behind the bags, i am sure the money they make off of it is to help her family in brasil and in l.a. just my opinion though. i am still a big fan and will take advantage of the sale at kitson.

ladyblue_design Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 She’s a new mom, Matthew McConaughey's girlfriend and of course is absolutely stunning, but according to trendy Los Angeles boutique Kitson that hasn’t been enough to sell model-turned-designer Camila Alves' handcrafted handbags. The Brazilian beauty is the latest celebrity to have brought out her own fashion label Muxo which has flopped at the popular store and gone into the discount heap alongside the Lauren Conrad Collection and Victoria Beckham’s DVB Denim range."When Camila launched Muxo in August last year she told us she was ready for hard work and was going to do all she could to promote the line," said a Kitson rep. "But she hasn’t even been into the store once since and we can’t even get in contact with her."The boutique claims to have spent $50,000 on the intricate handbags which come all the way from Brazil and have only managed to sell half, leaving them with a $25,000 deficit and even at 60 percent off (with a free DVD of McConaughey’s "Surfer Dude" for every purchase) Muxo still isn’t moving.The price point is ridiculous; she can’t compete with Gucci and Louis Vitton if she’s not going to even promote it. Camila also promised to build a Muxo diaper bag but never delivered," the Kitson rep told Tarts, adding that they’ve since heard word that Alves’s mother in Brazil is really the mastermind behind the bags.However Tarts has learned that McConaughey's girlfriend is going ahead with designing a diaper bag - but it will be exclusive to Lucky Brands. And according to Camila’s camp, Muxo has been very successful."Ms. Alves, a dedicated business owner and mother, is committed on a full time basis to the minute-by-minute operations at Muxo, a commitment that has not wavered before or since the birth of her son Levi," a rep for Muxo told Tarts. "Ms. Alves designs and manufacturers her one-of-a-kind line for the specialty and luxury hand bag markets using fine leather materials and labor intensive hand texturing techniques. Each bag, hand cut, finished and sewn, requires a second overlay process for the final artwork application that makes each and every bag unique and one-of-a-kind. The pricing of Muxo handbags is both appropriate and reasonable for the retailers and their customers."And according to Bettina Duncan, owner of Bettina Duncan at Fred Segal which also stocks the line, Muxo is selling up a storm."Our clients are tired of the ubiquitous big brand names. They are looking for the unusual, stylish, individual designers that offer something really unique. All in all, the bags have been an immediate hit in an very tough market," Duncan told Tarts.But it looks like the Muxo madness has triggered a store war between the two leading Los Angeles boutiques."Why buy at Bettina when you can buy the same bag at Kitson for 60 percent off? How many bags have they really sold, in this economy no one wants to be seen showing off a luxury handbag," a Kitson rep spat back. "An inside source was at the recent Muxo trunk show at Fred Segal and no one bought a bag."Meow. Quote
