I would love to see Eastern Europe a bit more. I think the trend of Western Europe is coming down a notch and Eastern Europe is on the rise!!!

I myself spent a summer in Russia one year and I wish I had known how much they follow fashion. The clubs wont even allow you in if you are not dressed like you are ready for a photoshoot! The summer time in the cities was all youth and fashion. Absolutely fabulous. I think that should be another post : )

Hey! I love this blog, its very clever. Since this is about South America, would anyone be bothered to give me any tips about how to dress in Quito, Ecuador? I will be there from August-December.

Thanks!

aaaaaaaww, the pic from Brazil is in my city! Rio de Janeiro! And the beach that brazilians are always going (Ipanema!). First thing you have to know is what city are you going. If you are comingo to Rio, for example, no matter what time of the year, make sure you ALWAYS bring shorts, light shirts and a good and confortable flat. If it’s cold, put a coat and thights. And if you want, add it a converse! ;) It works almost every time! Here, our style is basically beachy, since our city is known ’cause of it’s beautiful beaches!
College and teenage girls here uses only the basic makeup (like everybody on the comments is saying!)
And don’t forget the flip-flops! If you want an original Havaiana, buy it here, is cheaper and has waaay more styles! Don’t forget you sunglasses, we’re always with ours!
Get some cute dresses, add the flip-flop or the flat or a jelly! (I don’t know the price in US but here is around 100, 150 reais, depends of the model! I bought one in heels it was almost 200 reais!)
Well, no matter what, enjoy your stay and make sure to take LOOOOOOOTS of pictures, ’cause when you leave it, you’ll miss it :)

Hey !
Just wanted to add some things about brazil!
You need to know exactly where you are going because, although we are one country only, cities like são paulo and rio de janeiro are very different
in são paulo, people usually wear more makeup annd dress up more than
people do in rio. Maybe it is the beach? I don’t know really. Lol. Still, don’t expect people to be as bold as they are in america. Makeup here means blush, concealer, mascara and maybe a lipgloss, whereas you may spot most girls from cities like salvador and rio de janeiro with less or even nothing but a shiny lip balm on!
As for night outfits, it is nice to pull more different ideas off but remember to stay away from crazy stuff like you already said! In são paulo, most girls go out in skinny jeans (bootcuts have NEVER been fashion here i guess). If you are in cities Next to the beach, go with a cute dress!
Check out the weather too because it can get really hot here. I mean, REALLY hot. Last week it was like july in Vegas in rio de janeiro !! And not so dry so yeah your hair may scream for sos!
But have fun ! O Brasil é um país maravilhoso!

Last thing;
look for these stores:
cantão
le lis blanc
costume
bobstore
filitty
rock lily
daslu
leeloo
m officer
lola e maria
Paula ferber <- awesome shoes! really unique
shop 126
redley
spezzato
folic

Anything u need, just say it!
I LOVE collegefashion

Hey guys!

I only stopped writing these because I did not receive any more information about any other sites. However, I am absolutely open to continuing it if I receive more info from readers. In my next “What Do I Wear?” post, I will ask if readers will continue to send me more to whatdoiwearthere@gmail.com. If there is enough interest and information, I will certainly look into doing more spots!

Glad you all found this series helpful and thank you so much to everyone who added additional tips =]
