Life is made of moments so get your moments of Rio de Janeiro & celebrate your LIFE.
Rio de Janeiro the city of carnival, sun, smiles, sport, fun, music and bikinis. It is much more then Carnival which is an amazing experience of course. At this time of the year everything becomes a fantastic rainbow of sounds, colours & dance and you can dance like nobody is watching because everybody is dancing. Sambódromo is a heart of the celebration.
Niterói Contemporary Art Museum (MAC) Designed by Oscar Niemeyer who wrote following: “I am not attracted to straight angles or to the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves. The curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman. Curves make up the entire Universe, the curved Universe of Einstein.”
Inhotim is the only Brazilian Institute institution with a world-class collection of contemporary art continuously on display. It is perfect if you want real art adventure experience and it is world largest private art museum with 24 gallery pavilllions build by most colourful personality of Brazil Bernardo Paz. Even this location is far from Rio de Janeiro it is worth a trip.
Arpoador sunset when the sun brings to bed Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers) is a sweetest present from mother nature. After a wild nights or busy day the sunset watching is my favourite thing to do to load the energy of life. This place is as well amazing for surfing and rainbows.
Ipanema and Copacabana will teach you to wear bikini with proud and feel comfy doing – Stand up Paddle in tiny piece on your botty! Mission possible. But get a little tan first it looks better on the pictures.
Paragliding in Pedra Bonita is the best If you are feeling ready to fly. The view is amazing and the energy you loud from the trees and water is magic.
Style is my passion and I discovered quite few nice boutiques which I like to share.
De Salto Alto Copacabana one of amazing second hand shops specialising in items of 50’s to 70’s. Stars like Björk are shopping while visiting Rio de Janeiro. (Rua Siqueira Campos, 143, Sobreloja 44.
Petit Lilly Brechó is high end vintage and my favourite one (in Rua Visconde de Piraja 550 (Shop 319) Ipanema).
Blueman is famous for most beautiful Ipanema style dresses & bikinis.
Catherine Labouré cute vintage boutique.
Adriana Degreas you should try for most sexy swimwear.
Gilson Martins is top address for beautiful Rio de Janeiro style bags.
The fashion of Rio de Janeiro is very sexy and colourful as the nature, but it can be very modernistic and clean with touch of sexiness as work of Niemeyer.
