Obsessed with... Burgundy

It's definitely the color of the season. Why? Because it's cooler than red, because it goes so well with all neutrals in your closet, and because it's not boring. Also, you can apply it to any item - from leather skirts and pants (my favs in this color), heavy winter sweaters all the way to bags and nails. I have a hat, scarf and gloves in this amazing color and have been obsessed with it since then. Maybe you will see them in a post to come. In the mean time, enjoy this collage of burgundy deliciousness. 

P.S. Are you fat yet? I hope you're getting there because after the holidays you will have no excuse for it. 

Miroslava Duma Fashion Week Style 2012

While I hear the wind pounding down my windows in New York due to this lovely hurricane which decided to hit us, I am working on all these posts I've had on my mind for a while. I'm also raiding the fridge every twenty minutes. That's what happens when you're home. I'll try not to eat too much nutella. Let's see how that one goes.

Now, on to the real stuff. Miroslava Duma has been hitting the fashion weeks in very retro pieces, color blocked, geometrical, always with a beautiful piece of costume jewelry for added effect. She turned to print a few times - the dog print summer dress, the flower print dress as well the mesmerizing green flower blouse she paired with denim shorts. Nothing short of genius. She also wore some of-the-moment pieces like the Balenciaga sweatshirt and the german shepherd Givenchy jacket. 

Why I love her style? She plays with colors, accessories, new prints and trends and incorporates them all together perfectly.

For your viewing pleasure... Miroslava Duma.

I love everything about this, from the trendy fall colors, to the leather pants and those gorgeous strappy sandals.

Love how casual and put together this looks. denim rocks. more about this in my next post! stay tuned.

You can't go wrong with the jeans ones either.

Loving her quirky style lately.

That print can not go unnoticed. 

Elegant Looks:

This dress is just too good not to post.
I am sometimes still in princess mode.

Absolutely love elegant jumpsuits. Need to invest in one.

This one is also just beautiful.

All photos: InStyle Look of the Day

Please give me your stuff: Jessica Alba

You might be thinking, why her? I think the photos will tell the story. I dislike picking those celebs that have their clothes constantly picked out by stylists as we don't really know what is actually their style, don't we? I prefer the paparazzi shots (however disturbing it might be to think of someone being constantly followed and photographed, but if I was getting millions, I wouldn't mind, stop bitching celebs, they are giving you free publicity). Those pics are the real deal. Showing them go in and out of grocery stores, children's classes, doctor's appointments and all those freaky little places where you wish nobody would EVER photograph you. It serves the purpose though. It show celebs in their every day outfits which they have picked out themselves. (This is the reason Britney Spears will never be in this section, because of this). Also, you can clearly notice the pattern - the items that define their style.

What defines Jessica's style: 

Accessories (and lots of them) - this girl is not afraid of a scarf and a hat. Actually she wears them all the time. They match her glasses, flats, bags etc. They warm her up and give a casual feel to all her outfits. We can actually conclude she is obsessed with them. Maybe people can learn from this. And of course - her fedora. In winter or summer.
I especially love when she doubles up - scarf and a hat. That's daring and magnificent. When done right as in the first photo of the second row (stilettos!!)

Colors - She embraces them. Cuddles them. Rocks in them. Enough said.

Blazers (+scarves) - The only piece of outfit that I could die without. I dare you to find a good replacement. I dare you!

Jeans (and pants of all sorts) - There is only a handful of pics of her in dresses, excluding the red carpet section bellow.

Layers - she loves to pile them on, as any scarf loving person does (me, me, although I am sincerely cold all the time except in July and August).

All of the above (scarves, hats, colors, blazers, jeans and layers) - these were too good to leave out.

Skirts and long dresses - some minority garments in her wardrobe. They are probably the first to be deported in the spring cleaning. Just a horrible joke. Every post needs one.

And now... TA DA DA DA! (whaaa whaaa ... pump it up pump it in and let me begin..; who gets it, gets it)

Exactly what you have all been waiting for. The fully staged, sparkling red carpet looks.

If you can pick a favorite from this mush, leave it in the comment bellow (I'll take 5th row, 3rd to the left as the description, just don't write - the one with the scarf, sigh).

But I do like her style, or she wouldn't be in this section. I am just in a sarcastic mood today.

cmok!
