A day with Betty Be True to Yourself

Fashion weeks are not just runways and parties, it is also the time to meet great people. Beyond all our PFW memories, the highlight of March was the day we spent with Cris and Sophia from the well-known blog Betty, Be True to Yourself. 2 girls for 1 blog, that's the spirit! The two fashion lovers combine their personalities and ideas to write about what they love. We heart the fact that they are 100% true to themselves and to their readers and that is why the name of their blog becomes truly meaningful. 

As Mademoiselles from My French Dressing, it was the occasion to introduce our "Paris Mon Chéri". What did we do? We are going to tell you everything about this lovely day! First of all, we started the day by having lunch in an arty and trendy restaurant called The Schmuck. We were very excited by meeting true Brazilian girls for the first time! We talked about fashion and their country, comparing it to ours and after a few minutes, they brought sun into our Parisian winter! Then, to complete their My French Dressing's experience, we visited the store of one of our brand called Heimstone. Really inspired, this place was the perfect way for them to see and to feel the kind of clothes we sell on www.myfrenchdressing.com.br: trendy and 100% Parisian. After, we head up to their hotel for the big fashion moment of the day: a shooting with our favorite photographer Miguel Domingos. It was time to show them the exclusive selection we have made for them and to present our brands. Then, Cris and Sophia tried the clothes on and became beautiful models in a glance! They came out with amazing looks (clic here to see them on Betty) and we had a great time shooting inside of the hotel.

This day went so quick and we wanted to know a bit more about them so we did a fun interview while relaxing and laughing at the bar of the hotel. We already knew it but Cris and Sophia share a beautiful and dynamic chemistry...very contagious!
