W Hotels Global Glam Fall 2011 - New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

I don't have a degree in fashion, nor have I ever claimed to have one. I am purely an observer of a beautiful art that fascinates me. I follow my heart and write about a trend, an image, a vision that captures my attention and inspires me in an instant. I often make a judgment about a month's work of a designer in just under a second. It is very unfair but never the less, a reality of our fast paced, attention grabbing society. I offer you my thoughts, inspirations and judgments...of a purely subjective nature.


I had a great opportunity of attending the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for the W Hotels Global Glam Fall 2011 Presentation of designers Eugenia Kim, Mara Hoffman, Twinkle by Wenlan, Clare Vivier, Deepa Gurnani, Noir, Paola Hernandez, I-Luck, Myne, Posse, Shaesby, Sibilia, Catherine Nicole, Yarnz, and Contego Eyewear.


It was an amazing space, with ridiculously delicious cocktails, a very fashionable quirky crowd and of course, great designs. I feel in love with two pairs of shoes which you can see bellow. I have to thank my dear friend Maya for having the opportunity to see this presentation. 


I always think that I need to buy a professional camera and capture the moments in a much different light, but my poor little camera's pictures will have to do for now.

Obsessed with... Asymmetrical Zara Shoes Spring 2011


As I grow older, I realize life is all about choices. Not to get too philosophical on your ass, but it's true. Since I have two delta tickets bought for two different destinations, one for love and the other one for love and an amazing tropical vacation (mostly for the second hehe), I am, literally, avoiding shopping. Imagine me walking fast past the stores trying to stare into my blackberry and not into the windows. Well, that's me now. However, that doesn't stop me from posting photos of things I wish I could buy, like these shoes from Zara. But these kind of shoes I never feel comfortable in. They always hurt my feet, really. So I don't care I can't buy them. Seriously, I don't care. I really don't care!!

(maybe if I repeat that to myself enough times I will actually believe it)

Victoria's Secret Swim 2011

While New York City is covered by large amounts of snow and my face still aches from the, not so cute, snowflakes hitting my face last night, I catch myself continuously dreaming of a paradise beach. Wearing nothing more than a bikini and some SPF, basking in the sun, is really all that I would want in this moment. Add a strawberry mojito or a strawberry caipirinha, a soft kiss from my bf, and I am in heaven. 

So I have decided to lure you into my imaginative world of high temperatures and skimpy clothes with the Victoria's Secret new swim collection. I wanted to show you my favorites. I am absolutely in love with bandeau tops for about two years now, for one very specific reason - they give you the perfect tan lines making it possible to wear your favorite summer strapless dresses. Although they do make your girlfriends seem smaller, you can choose the push up bandeau top to make up for that, if you care so much.

Get lost in these new looks, ignore the cold and the snow outside, and imagine you are on your perfect little deserted island, with the most amazing tan, with no work, no cell phone, even no internet, just the sun, the water and you (and possibly a refreshing alcoholic beverage).


This adorable white ruffle cheeky bottom is on the top of my list.
It makes flat bottoms look perky, and the pop out one's very noticeable, to say the least.


The perfect Bandeau Bikinis


There was always something about black bikinis that I loved. 
They are sexy and seductive. The Brazilian bottom is just for the daring.


But there is nothing more fun and summery than to put on a colorful bikini. 
They can be very sexy too.


This is absolutely, positively, the best bargain. 
It comes in great colors and you can get whichever bottom fits your body best, and they are so cute. I have it in neon pink from last year.


To finish it off, this will be my summer beach uniform.
Sexy cut jeans shorts, cute bikini, flowy cover up, a fedora hat and comfortable sandals.
Love it.

Keep dreaming about the summer.
I hope the snow goes away soon.

Please give me your stuff: Miroslava Duma

Ever passed by some outrageously, gorgeously dressed girl and want to take all her clothes and make a run for it? Well I have. What?


Well in the case of Miroslava Duma, I would take her whole closet. She was the youngest fashion editor of Harpers Bazaar of Russia. I think she is just the perfect young-fashion-know-it-all. Her elegant and sporty looks are styled to perfection, and she wears some things that I wanted to, but never dared to try - like socks with sandals. If she can do it, why can't I? I mean, my sandals and socks would be about 95% cheaper, but hey, I am not a Russian fashion editor!


Take a look at her impeccable looks. The latest pictures of her were of her pregnant, and can I mention that she is the most beautifully dressed pregnant woman ever. But that's for another post, for another life phase.


Enjoy!


Monochrome suit - just amazing.This makes me want to get a real job where suits are a requirement. I wonder how would brokers look at me if I show up in an office like this. 





Dare I say anything about this outfit? I just love love love it. And I don't even like camouflage.






Mmmmmmm. I will think about reopenning my headband collection.


I want my hair to grow and looks exactly like this.

Another suit I would die for.


This is my clubbing outfit. 
I love her obsession with leather jackets. They really toughen up any outfit. Contrasts are key.


This is the first picture I had of her, and I wondered who is this girl. I love this photo. 

Get inspired!

The Golden Globes 2011 Dresses

I'm going to go with the bunch and post my favorites from the Golden Globes. Does anyone watch it for the actual awards anymore? I would have, if I wasn't stuck at work. Plus, I love Ricky Gervais, he has smart jokes in his stand-ups.

I have to say that it does annoy me that the wives of famous actors never get the attention they deserve for their dresses.

First three places are Sandra Bullock, Emma Stone and Eva Longoria.
The best dressed in men was Robert Downey Jr. Yes, because he didn't wear black (and because he has that little something)

Let me know your favorites!

 

My absolute favorite. Sandra Bullock. Love her hair, her dress, everything.

Emma Stone
 I love the minimalism of this dress. Gorgeous.

Eva Longoria
And you can see she hangs out with Victoria Beckham. She wears much more black.
