Oh you must be right on Camila Pitanga- I will try to remove it. The other photo( 3rd picture) I am 99.9% sure it's her. Maybe Lady Blue could answer that one- :) :)

I dont know but for me that girl from the pictures doesnt look like Camila. I would say Tyra Banks.

The other two pictures I posted...again even when I dont look at the face the cloths dont match with those Camila wear. I havent seen her with ugg\emu shoes. And something more obvious she wears mostly bags from her own collection.

Not sure who posted the other two pictures, but it's pretty clear it's not her! Too many Camilas :) Moving on....

Camila Alves To Showcase Handbag Collection On QVC Tonight (INTERVIEW)

Camila Alves, Brazilian model and designer (and, ahem, Matthew McConaughey's fiancé) will be on QVC tonight showcasing her handbag collection MUXO by Camila Alves, which the Latina entrepreneur started with her mother, Fatima. We spoke with the 29-year-old creative designer to get the 411 on her handbag line, find out what her famous fiancé thinks of her collection, and whether she and Matthew have set a wedding date.

We’re excited to watch you on QVC tonight! Tell us what you’ll be doing on the air.

We have our first one-hour show for MUXO by Camila Alves. The thing that I’m most excited about is that I’ll have the time to talk about design details. Usually, when I go on {a show}, it’s so fast and I don’t really get to talk about the leather and about how the bags are supposed to be worn.

A lot of celebrities are designing items these days. How is your collection different?

My mother and I have been designing handbags for over eight years now. My mom has three degrees in design and she’s been doing it for over 30 years. I grew up watching her doing this. I’m not talking bad about anybody – and there’s nothing wrong with this – but a lot of people these days grab a product that they see and then grab another product and they send both to the designer and go, “can we mix it together and come up with something?” Then they put their name on it. With us, it’s a completely different process. We create the handbags from scratch. That’s why we have such a unique product.

The bags in your collection are really sophisticated, but they’re also very casual. Is that intentional?

Yes, most of the bags you can either dress up or dress down. More than anything, the bags are based on the style of women today. Women are living a different life than they used to. We’re busy. We have a lot to do. It doesn’t matter if you’re a mother or a businesswoman or both. There's a lot going on today, so I like to give women options. It’s hard for women to have an organized handbag. You’re always looking for your stuff everywhere. How many times have you been with a girlfriend and they’re like, “OMG< I lost my cell phone” and then they find it in the bottom of their handbag with everything else?

Is your fiancé Matthew McConaughey supportive of your design career?

Yeah, very much so! We have a family out there, we share projects and work that we do and ask each other for opinions. It’s really like a family affair.

And speaking of Matthew, congratulations on your engagement over Christmas! Have you set a wedding date?

Not yet. I’ve been busy with the handbags and he’s been really busy with work, too. I just really love being engaged right now. It was a big surprise and it’s fun to be able to say “my husband to be” and being a “wife to be.” Being engaged is absolutely a time to cherish!

Have you decided on a wedding dress yet?

I was never the girl who tore pictures out of wedding magazines. My dream was always to have a healthy family and a healthy home, so I haven’t gotten to the dress yet. But I have seen these amazing wedding dresses with really intricate beeding that are really beautiful dresses. I may get inspiration from that.

Do you want a big dress or a small dress?

I think it’s really going to depend on what is picked out for me, because I can do both ways. I love wearing dresses that hug the body, but then, at the Oscars, I had a big dress and I really loved that. It’s a style I never thought I would wear, but I saw the dress and I was like ‘oh my God, that’s it!” A lot of times you think you want something and then you find something completely different.

Camila Alves: Marriage Won't Change Much for Matthew McConaughey & Me

BY TIM NUDD, people.com

Thursday March 29, 2012 10:05 AM EDT

Marriage is a pretty big step. Or, you know – not.

Camila Alves says she doesn't expect walking down the aisle to change much at all in her relationship with Matthew McConaughey, mostly because they're like a married couple already.

"We've been living a married life for over six years now," the Brazilian model, 29, tells ET Canada. "We have homes together, we have family together, we have kids, we've built a life together. So, we've been living a married life this whole time."

The one truly meaningful part of it, she adds, is what it means to their children – Levi, who will be 4 in July, and Vida, who just turned 2.

"I think it's great for the kids," Alves says. "Levi actually understands what it means now that Mama's going to have the same last name as they have, so that's neat."

But what's important in the long run? Being healthy and happy. "A lot of people, sometimes they're so stuck on 'I gotta get married, I gotta get married,' " Alves says. "They forget that the really important thing ... is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy environment for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way."

Alves and McConaughey, 42, got engaged in December but still haven't set a date for the nuptials. "I really haven't thought much about the wedding," Alves says. "We just got a new home, it's just been really busy. I'm just really enjoying being engaged."

But when the time comes, she may in fact become a bridezilla. "I don't know what kind of bride I'm going to be," she says. "I may turn into a crazy woman, I don't know!"

From Camila's QVC blog:

Preparing for the Muxo 1-Hour Premiere!

Started 03/23/2012 at 4:09 PM in Hosts & Personalities, All About Accessories, All About Handbags

I don't even have the words to say how excited I am to be able to spend a whole hour with you Friday night, March 30th!!

Since we started our collection with QVC, I have learned so much through your kind and generous reviews and am thrilled that you have been as passionate about our line as my mother, Fatima, and I are. When we go into development on new handbags for you, we very much keep your thoughts and comments top of mind and focus on fashionable bags that suit every lifestyle...while of course maintaining the practicality by incorporating pockets and divisions to the anatomy of the handbag - a common thread through both my couture and QVC lines. :) Let's face it, we women are busier than ever juggling families, careers, friends, workouts, girls' nights out, etc...we need bags that are beautiful, durable AND functional!!

I can't wait to get to the studio this week! There are so many styles I am in love with including the one we nicknamed "The Spy Bag" which has a separate compartment in the bottom of the handbag to put an extra pair of shoes or any other items you don't want in the main compartment. I truly hope you love it as much as we do, we had so much fun making it and look forward to the opportunity to continue bringing new styles to our QVC fans.

My mother and I are very proud and excited about our QVC line and very touched by the time you have been taking to share your thoughts with us in your reviews.

Thank you all for your support and I'll see you this Friday, March 30th at 8PM EST...and also with Lisa Robertson in her 10 PM EST show that night!!

xoxo,

Camila

P.S. We're now working on some incredible styles for Fall and Spring so stay tuned as I hope to be able to share sneak peaks from our design studio. ;)
