PASSIONATE

And Finally...If the date is with your BEAU, your One and Only ;) you are free to go ALL out, wild, sexy and provocative! All the items here scream PASSION therefore I would keep the lipstick demure...besides, with this outfit I don't think it would stay on for too long anyway!! ;D

So, hope you enjoyed the 3 inspirations for Valentines and Thank You as always for stopping by!

Wish you had a wonderful weekend full of friendship and love.

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!...

ESSENTIALS & TRENDS: The Plaid Button Down

Hi Dears!!

So the cold winter should be here, although in my town it hasn't really kicked in, this week we had days around 80 degrees! That is what inspired me to share this essential which is also a huge trend right now! This is a garment that you will be able to have for years and years and you will get a lot of use out of it...I can go on and on about all the great things about them but lets go to the point:

VERSATILITY: As you can see on my inspirations you can take your shirt from edgy to preppy to sophisticated in a snap! just by adding a pair of distressed jeans, a trench coat or a pencil skirt!
COMFORT: Plaid shirts often are made of flannel or a nice blen of cotton and .... so this means that they are not only cozy but also they only get better in time, the more you use them the softer they will get. Also, they are not tight (or they shouldn't be) so you always feel
like you can move around because the look is meant to be a relaxed and cool one!
LONGEVITY: Even though we are seeing this trend everywhere we go now,  plaid has always been around in one way or another so investing in a nice plaid shirt will definitely pay off because pretty much they never go out of style :)

Here a few great options:
UNDER $20
UNDER $60
UNDER $100
UNDER $150

Enjoy shopping and thanks for stopping by!

Good & Bad

Hi Dears!!

For me the fun thing about expressing thru fashion is that, each time you get to tell a different story depending on what you decide to pair your "main character" with, mine is this Tiffany blue dress, I actually added the bow necklace ;) it looks like part of the dress huh? As you know I love a multipurpose garment so I though of a day look for the goody two-shoes in all of us and one for the night when we are aloud to be baaaaad :D....

So which one you prefer?? Good or Bad?

Love as always,
♥

UNAPOLOGETIC

Hello Dears!!

You, you and you that enjoy stylish and fabulous things as much as I do ♥ ...Have you ever felt judged because of your passion for fashion?? I know I have, and you know what? this outfit is my response to all those people that I have felt judged by!!! -Haha :D

I mean, I totally respect people who don't consider fashion important in their lives and I leave them live in peace :) so, all I ask is a little reciprocity here! Have you ever come across with someone that criticize you or looks at you thinking that because you are super fashionable you don't have any other thing to offer and immediately assume that your appreciation for style must be inversely related to your IQ? Well if you have, I invite you to show the polite alternative to a hand-sign and instead, give them an unapologetic display of elegance, allure and fabulosity! Take this "judgettes" haha...

True, our importance is related to the positive impact that we make, the lessons learned, the love we share, our growth and evolution as human beings and the understanding and compassion we show in our life experiences...BUT why not face these in a cute dress and amazing shoes if possible! I don't see the harm in that! do you? ;)

As always...Thanks for stopping by!

LONDON CALLING

Hello Dears...

...And Today the "Dears" really apply! :) As you remember, I have a post about what I would wear if I lived in Rome, New York and this time, honoring London's Fashion Week, I thought of transporting myself like I do in my "fashion dreams" to the UK's Capital!

Top of the Line Fabulousness! including weather friendly clothes and accessories that add a little bit of punk (which you know I love ♥) ...I couldn't leave out our cup of tea :) and the very light glass on our aviators that aloud us to still wear sunnies even in foggy London ;D

Hope you enjoy,
and for today...Cheers!!

ESSENTIALS #1: Leather Pencil Skirt

Hello Dears!

This is the first of a series of posts I'll be doing with specific garments that can kick any wardrobe up a notch ;)  We all have heard about “The Basics”, you know black blazer, white button down shirt, etc, my intention is to bring you "The Essentials" (wonderful items that add ESSENCE! to our closets) things that can take us from Basic Girl to a Fashionable One! :) Sometimes we want to stand out but we are also smart about our budgets and obviously we want to optimize our clothing as much as possible so I am showing you 3 ways that today’s item can serve many purposes, that way you are not buying a “one occasion garment” :) 

The LEATHER PENCIL SKIRT it’s a wonderful alternative that adds edge and personality to an outfit, not to mention that it's so NOW since we've seen the leather trend all over, since last year. There are different options and price ranges and here are a few options if you decide to give this Essential a try ;) :

$ Sears $29 USD
$$ ASOS $86 USD
$$$ Nordstrom $137 USD
$$$$ Net-a-porter $1533 USD

Let me know if you like it and Thank You for stopping by!

SATURDAY NIGHT FUNCTION

It's true that sometimes we have that particular event where we wonder "How formal is this affair really?" On this occasions a unique dress like this Mary Katrantzou is a perfect choice because the print makes it look super unique but still fresh and approachable, I think in this dress you would be THAT girl that everyone wants to talk to :)

I am a big fan of buying things that you can wear 100 times for different purposes, different seasons and with a different feel so all of the accessories on this inspiration I feel can be in your weardrobe forever and you will always find a different use for them, they are timeless.

Now about the dress? We will find a repurpose...Stay tuned ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

INCOMPARABLE

Today I wanted to share with you a little piece of me. Obvious to say being involved in fashion I have many icons and muses that serve as inspiration, but the first woman that as a little girl struck me with her stunning presence was Sophia Loren. I found her unique beauty, personality and sex-appeal very commanding, it’s like you couldn’t stop looking at her! so I stared at her pictures for hours on my mother’s magazines (there was no Google then). She had this air of confidence that till this day I have never seen…Being completely enchanted by her I got to learn about her humble upbringing and got to love her even more when I found out that as a little girl she was so thin they called her "Stuzzicadenti" which means “Toothpick”, something that I could relate with and the first time I felt like someone knew how I felt :D I remember thinking “Sophia is cool and so if Sophia was a toothpick as me then I am cool!!” …Oh! self acceptance :)
Based on Sophia’s elegance, femininity and style I put this two ensembles together that are curve hugging, figure flattering and very Italian :) completed with her later-in-life signature cat-eye glasses!

So, who is your icon?

Thanks for stopping by!
