jkmuxo Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Déjà vu, Camila wore the same pants right after Levi was born in 2009. She still looks great but I think the pants look better paired with the white T and sneakers. By keeping things simple, she looks both elegant and effortless. Quote

jkmuxo Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 From People Magazine Sexiext Man Alive 2011, The Women Behind Hollywood's Sexy Men:For Matthew McConaughey and Brazilian beauty Alves, the secret to a successful partnership is acceptance. "Neither one of us wants the other one to change," the Lincoln Lawyer star told PEOPLE of his model girlfriend and mother of his two children. "We've both said it, if we did change, that could be a problem! We love each other for who we are." Quote
jkmuxo Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Camila Alves Dishes on her MUXO Handbag Line, Jet-setting and MotherhoodBy Cavan Sieczkowski, Monday, November 21, 2011 12:06 PM EST, International Business TimesCamila Alves is more than just a pretty face. The Brazilian native wears many hats--successful model, partner of Matthew McConaughey and mother of two. But these days, Alves can move "designer" to the top of her resume. Modeling has taken the brunette beauty around the world, from Paris to Milan, from China to Africa. During her jet-setting travels, Alves grew frustrated that she could not find the right handbag to fit her diverse needs. What she wanted was a bag that made was both beautiful and practical; but nothing on the market worked. So Alves, with the help of her artist/fashion designer mother, decided to create her very own handbag line. The two began designing in 2005 and, after three years of experimenting, MUXO was born. "The designs of our bags are greatly influenced by the places I love the most: New York and Brazil. Our bags embody the exotic old-world sensibility of Brazil with their rich and earthy colors, heavy detail and embellishment," Alves told IBTimes. "Even the weathered and distressed leathers are taken from materials from Brazil, like from the beaches of Bahia or the farmlands of Minas Gerais. We combined these Brazilian features with a durability and practicality that reflects the modernism of New York. Each bag is as ready for the beach as it is for a stroll down Fifth Avenue."MUXO handbags are sold on mymuxo.com and through QVC. The bags, for men and women, range from $212 to $1800. All are handmade with the finest leather and come in a variety of styles and colors. One of the coolest pieces in the collection is the "Queen of the Sea" bag - a rainbow fringe satchel that is big enough to hold a plethora of daily necessities. What's in a name? "My mother and I designed our luxurious handbag collection around the African translation of Muxo-- 'goddess of the water'--to reflect the inner beauty of all women," Alves said. "We wanted to create a bag that was as strong as a woman's will power, as sensible as her daily decisions, and as unique as she is." She describes the archetypal MUXO girl as a cosmopolitan, "modern woman." "The quintessential MUXO girl is strong, sexy, and versatile," she said. "She is the modern woman on-the-go who juggles the demands of a busy lifestyle with style and grace."Speaking of juggling, Alves seems to manage a high-octane life effortlessly. She has been dating Hollywood heartthrob Matthew McConaughey since 2006. The couple currently has two children together, son Levi and daughter Vida. As a mother and a career woman, Alves must look for fashion that accommodates this sort of lifestyle. "I have never been a 'fashion follower' so to speak, but I have always known what I liked, what I did not, and why," she said. "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." Alves has been modeling since she was 19-years-old, so she has become accustomed to the jetsetter lifestyle. "My favorite place to travel is back home to Brazil. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 15-years-old, but my heart has never left Brazil, which is why so much of my inspiration is derived from there." The Brazilian beauty is familiar with life both on the catwalk and (now) behind the scenes. "At this stage in my life, I love the freedom of making my own pieces and the pride that follows when seeing the end result," she said. Still, she is grateful for her modelling career, regardless of how hectic. "Modeling took me around the world to Paris, Milan, China, Africa, and numerous destinations in between, and through my travels, I developed my keen sense of fashion." "So, without my 'life on the catwalk,' I would have never gained the experience necessary to create such fashionable bags." Quote

jkmuxo Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 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%.

jkmuxo Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 From PopSugar.com, 12/15/2011Camila 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. Quote
