Morning workouts have become a part of my daily routine, and wearing looks that make me feel and look good is a big motivator to wake up early and hit the gym.

I've put together this style guide with purchase links and styled looks to all of the workout items I bought on my last trip to NY, in hopes that it motivates you too!

After years of trial and error, I’ve finally nailed a quick and easy skincare and makeup routine with products that give me that natural healthy dewy complexion I love in just under 10 minutes. Similar to my approach towards clothing, I like my makeup to look effortless, fresh and clean and it has to be minimal so I can easily pack it wherever I go.

I had a last minute work opportunity to go to London, so I booked a flight for that same evening and quickly packed a carry-on with key items that can easily be styled in a variety of ways for a one week spring trip. This is what I packed:

It's been way too long and I've missed writing to you!
Truth is, post October 7th, I spiraled into a dark place and had a hard time focusing on anything apart from the news and my loved ones in Israel.

When it comes to summer vacation, there’s no place I’d rather be than Tel Aviv. I would describe the city as intense yet laidback - and this goes for everything including the people, places, food and style.

This journal has nothing to do with fashion, but everything to do with my journey towards a minimalist life where I seek to identify what's truly essential and worth investing in (be it time, energy or money).

Just wrapped up a month long trip of fall / winter makeovers in NY! The weeks leading up to these trips are dedicated to intense long days of online research to browse through collections, select my favorite pieces, and create personalized client shopping wishlists.

I recently worked with a plus size client who was really excited and surprised to try on a variety of clothes from cool brands that offer stylish clothing in extended sizes. I figured I should share a few of them with you! Check out 5 of my favs:

In the past 8 years styling, ironically the number one issue I encounter when I start working with clients is not a lack of clothing - but in fact an excess of it. Closets of all shapes and sizes jam packed with tons of clothing purchased throughout many years - mostly unworn.

Ano passado a Fe Neute me chamou para fazermos o Full Makeover em NY. Criamos uma linguagem visual que reflete sua essência prática e minimalista, priorizando a simplicidade e qualidade. Sendo a mulher hyper planejada e consciente que a Fe é, o processo desencadeou uma serie de emoções e conversas super interessantes que serviram de reflexão - para ambas.

When I first started working in fashion I was super young, I hadn’t yet discovered my personal style, and had barely any disposable income to invest in quality items.

Originally when I thought about writing this newsletter, I wanted to put together all of the tips from this months euro trip, however when I started jotting down all of the places and experiences I realized that Puglia in and of itself contained so many amazing recommendations.

I'm writing this newsletter in the midst of a 3 week summer euro trip where I decided to travel only with a carry-on bag (and yoga mat) – and it feels absolutely amazing. Since I've been jumping around a few destinations, I've noticed how much time and energy I've saved on this trip by traveling light.

I grew up in Brazil during the 90’s and at that time if you turned on national TV or picked up a magazine, chances are you would see women with big boobs, tiny waists, thick thighs and big round butts in very tiny and tight clothes (if not bikinis).

This year for my 32nd birthday I decided to gift myself a silent retreat. The original plan was to fly to Mexico for a 10 day retreat my friend recommended, however a week before my departure I received an e-mail saying it was cancelled due to a hurricane.

In 2016 an email popped up in my work inbox from Liana. She introduced herself and said she was interested in scheduling a call to learn more about my styling services for both herself and her clothing store, Ateliê De Calças.

Last week I launched the new reels series “4 Ways To Wear” featuring one of my all time favorite wardrobe staples - leather pants. Since I received a lot of messages requesting product details, I decided to follow-up with this newsletter to share all of the links so you can re-create the looks!

Back in August I was in NY for an intense work trip and after finishing Fe Neute’s closet cleanse she made me a matcha latte and told me it was time for me to hire a team. That same week AK Stylist Inc blossomed into a team of 4.

For the most part, Brazilian fashion does not have that minimal and neutral vibe, which means I'm constantly scouring the internet to find local items that suit the clean aesthetic I usually go for when styling clients (and myself).

​I've known Stephanie (or Teti, as I like to call her) for as long ​as I can remember. We both grew up in São Paulo and shared the same social circle, and kind of simultaneously moved to Europe for our college studies.

As I'm unpacking from a 10 day beach holiday, I realized I didn't use half of the items I took on my trip. I overpacked and could have totally gotten by with a carry-on bag (as I usually do).

Whether you're a lawyer working in a corporate environment or a free spirited entrepreneur, you need a power suit. Here's why: it's easy to style, versatile, seasonless, timeless and empowering.

One of my favorite things in life is meeting new people and connecting over long intimate conversations. I've realized since I spend most of my time chatting and asking questions, be it with clients or friends, why not share these interesting conversations with you?

Shortly after leaving my corporate job at Miu Miu, I launched AK Stylist Inc and landed my first client at Rockefeller Center styling a TV host for the show NY LIVE. That experience taught me that styling wasn't just about me dressing someone up in beautiful clothes.

Guys, BIG news!!! In November I was invited to join the teaching faculty of the Harvard Law School Winter 2022 Introduction to Trial Advocacy program! The professor asked me to prepare a lecture for the law students on the importance of non-verbal communication in the courtroom.

I've been living in and out of New York for the past decade, and every time I come back there is something new to experience, along with my favorite places that have become a part of my routine when I'm in the city.

When it comes to holiday gifting, I like to focus on practical fashion accessories, home decor, and self-care experiences. My favorite gifts are items or certificates I would actually use, but don't typically buy for myself.

Earlier this month I received an e-mail regarding a feature for TZR (The Zoe Report) exploring how minimalism has evolved, why people are attracted to it and how it can be defined.

Packing for a trip doesn’t have to be stressful or time consuming. All you need is a handful of versatile items that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of looks.

Whether we are aware of it or not, our daily style choices are a direct result of a series of psychological factors – our worries and desires. The more conscious you are, the easier it is to use fashion as a tool to express yourself authentically.

People always ask me how I manage to control myself from buying all of the beautiful items I see on a daily basis. Funny enough, before I started styling I had more clothes than I do now.

Whenever a new client reaches out to me, the first thing I recommend is starting the process with a Closet Cleanse. Why? Because in order to create something new and improved, we must edit and clear what no longer works.
