January 27, 201213 yr 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!”

Click on the link below to see the 34 pictures.Camila Alves' Style EvolutionCamila 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

February 8, 201213 yr Is there any truth to this? (article from InTouch magazine)Camila’s business associate also says that it was McConaughey who first noticed Camila and asked her to have a drink with him. “He chose her, she didn’t chose him,” she adds. “She was at a restaurant in LA and he walked up to her. He introduced himself, and said he would love to have her come join him for his favorite drink - a margarita - and they had a great friendship to start.”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."
