THE CHANEL WOMAN

Hello Dears!

One of the things that made me fell in love with fashion very early in life was...the ability to dream that it gave me...In my mind, clothes were not only clothes, they were companions to fantastic stories that I created in my mind, when sketching a little dress I used to think on "my woman's" life, not only how she looked but where did she come from, what would she achieve and obviously they were always living fabulous lives and embracing who they were to the fullest...they were like my "fashion super heroes" if you will!!! :)

One of my favorite fashion super heroes would be THE CHANEL WOMAN...I wanted to share with you a little inspiration of what I feel its the perfect style journey for a Chanel-ette :D (should be a word!)...I used actual chronological reference to the iconic pieces that Coco designed in different moments of her life and that were deeply linked to were she came from like the white collar dress resembling the little uniforms she had at Aubazine's catholic orphanage where she was raised...or where she went, like the sailor "Breton" stripe top that she presented on her 1917's nautical collection which was inspired in local fisherman that she observed during a visit on the french coast...And well, of course the tweed jacket which needs no introduction as it is an institution in itself!

In her 20's our Chanel Girl starts to discover the elegance of Chanel in a very shy and delicate way, she draws about her dreams and fears...she is yet to discover the power within her...Then, we have our Chanel Woman, she is probably in her 30's or 40's  at this point she knows who she is, she likes it and she is not afraid to wear the pants! both literally and figuratively speaking!! I imagine her being an Art dealer or curator, she is smart, cleaver, a cultured gal who knows exactly where she stands and where she wants to go...And then finally we have our Chanel Lady, she is now on her 50's or 60's, I imagine her to evolve into an Art collector! She is successful and spunky but extremely classy, she has nothing to prove because she is...THE BOSS!

Well my lovelies, I hope you enjoyed my little imaginary journey...do you identify part of yourself in her?

As always thank you for stopping by!

Ok, everyone that knows me and/or read this blog, already knows I'm a sucker for black and white combos and for those of you who think we haven't had enough of the black and white prints trending...well, here is more for us to enjoy this year... I mean lets do a quick look back in time and as we all remember we have seen so far (in chronological order) dots, stripes, plaid, artsy Pollock-like, gingham, marble and now...GRID!

I can't tell you enough how much I love this trend! It is simple, demure but bold and strong at the same time! I find this print not pretentious and flattering all around!! LOVE ♥

COMFTY ELEGANCE

Hi Dears!

I have missed you!
Today I wanted to shared something inspired in this summer days of shopping and fun, I don't know about you...but I truly take my hat off for the gals that can go out and about, all around the mall wearing heels, I truly salute you if you are one! I wish I could because I can see how they come very handy when trying on some pieces that need that extra oomph...but I've made peace with the fact that I just can't go shopping in heels :) nevertheless, I do still want look put-together and elegant during my shopping adventures.

Here's a great maxi skirt with great visual impact that also offers comfort in the dressing room! all of this pieces are so easy, yet they all individually have something unique to them...the crossed & braided leather of the sandals, the stitching on this amazing Tory Burch crossbody, the saturated cobalt hue of the maxi, the open shoulder of an otherwise simple top...and the accessories oh! you know I'm a fool for accessories! ;)

Make up wise? I would love to see this with a strong lip to pump up the elegance and I would love a beachy undone wavy look or a great french braid! ♥

Well that is my idea of a comfty-elegant combo, hope you like it and wish you a great summer of shopping and fun!!

Thank You All for stopping by!

LINES I ♥: Julie Vos

Hi Dears!

Today I had to talk about JULIE VOS!! I am an avid fan of their very unique designs. Also I have to confess I am the worst when it comes to taking care of faux bijoux :/ I mean I try to take them off when I wash my hands of course, but no matter how hard I try the metallic look fades very quickly for me and that awful coppery gold comes out (yuuuk)...When I found Julie's Collections it was the perfect solution to all my jewelry troubles ♥...All her pieces are 24K Gold Plate and therefore hold their beauty for a long long long time :D 

All the pieces I own always guarantee someone complementing me or asking me about them, so I decide to post this so you can all enjoy this wonderful creations. 

An insider tip I can give you is, each week they have the "FRIDAY DEAL" and this means one or more of the most coveted pieces go on sale for that day! I have bought for an example rings that range from 75-80 USD for 20-40 USD!!

Also, you can enjoy a 15% off on your first purchase just by subscribing when you open the website.

Ok ladies, well I have given you all my knowledge about this fabulous brand that I truly enjoy :)

Happy spring shopping!

Thank You All for stopping by!

FLIRTY

OK! So lets say you do have one of those dates where the "situation" is kind of a grey area hahaha hence the gray top on my inspo ;) One of those friends that you are not sure about, been friends forever, has never made a move, but still you don't openly talk about your past relationships or present crushes and you kinda wouldn't let him see you with no make-up on hahaha...meaning deep down it matters a bit! :D You don't want to present yourself in a way that it looks like you are throwing yourself at him hahah but secretly you care! This is the perfect outfit, simple, chic, but with a kick of edge ;)

Stay tunned for PASSIONATE!...

FRIENDLY♥

Hello Loves!
So Valentine’s is closer and closer and I have always love this date, even if the detractors say that it's only a marketing thing for us to buy things, honestly I think that in our very fast-paced lives it doesn’t harm to have a day to remind all the wonderful people that surround us just how special they are :)(Should we remind them every day? YES. Is it sweet as hell to have a special day to give them heart themed reminders of our love? YES!!). And the best of all...It's not only a day to celebrate romantic love but also the most amazing kind of love(in my opinion) which comes from our friends, family and pets also! ♥ – So, on that note I wanted to start a series of posts with outfit options depending on what kind of a date you will have this Saturday! YAY!

Starting with the FRIENDLY DATE…..

So if you are celebrating with your family or a long time friend even if it’s a male friend but that kind of friend that you just know there’s no(nor will be ever)any romantic interest  then I would suggest turning off the sexiness and turning on the sweetnes!! Be comfy! No need for push-ups, spanxs or garter belts here! Hahaha... I would go with the universally flattering jeans and blazer and just pair with something that evoques this special date. The first time I saw the iconic COMME DES GARÇONS heart print it was on a magazine and it has always hypnotized me in a very sweet way 

Stay tunned for the FLIRTY one….. ;)

NEED

COLD: SURVIVAL KIT

Ok Dears :) so I‘ve always admit I am not a cold weather lover, that is just being honest…however I don’t see why we can take advantage of this gelid days by adding a few fun wintery pieces to our wardrobe…because lets face it even though stores and retailers are pushing the spring  clothing down our thoughts already, we’re still going to have a good almost two months of cold feet, hands and ears ;)

So here is my survival kit, I included some basic amazing pieces that are practical enough to mix and match probably with half of your already acquired winter wardrobe but unique enough to add a little spice to any ensemble.

Hope you like them as much as I do and as always thank you so much for stopping by!
