Hello there my loves!

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 ♥

Here I share with you a few options that I fantasize about :)

Hope you like it and as always thank you so much for visiting ;)

TRENDS: Artsy Abstract Prints

Hi Dears,

This is a summer trend that I really dig!! :) I’ve always been a prints lover and this trend of mixing artsy and abstracts motifs is just making me so happy. Some may think its too loud and wouldn’t dare to try it so that is why I put together some options depending on the loudness of the print :

LEVEL 1: The pants have a low impact print, black and white so you can’t go wrong and really a safe option if you are on the shy side, I pair it with accessories that have basic lines and since its not showing leg or cleavage this is the most conservative of the three.

LEVEL 2: On top of the black and white, we invited blue into the mix for a medium loudness print, that looks really cool with the edgy shorts and sandals and added black and white sunnies.

LEVEL 3: Ok, this is the “out there” four color combo print and I love love love it, with the sky high heels in orangey-red and black and the mint and black clutch, this is a showstopper outfit no doubt about it :)

As a bonus and because nothing can get more artsy than nails, I added the always great Butter London shades that go perfect with the inspiration :)

So, which one you like the most?

As always thank you for stopping by!

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT...

Hi Dears!

Today's post is in answer to a fabulous request and suggestion that I am so grateful for, because I cannot even start telling how much I loved putting all this together! :D

People that now me, know how far I have gone for my love to Morrissey's Music up on to the point of traveling all by myself over 5,000 Kilometers with the sole purpose of watching the man dressed up in a tuxedo performing at the Carnegie Hall!!! Maybe some day I will tell you the story about that unforgettable experience and how NYC chew me up and spit me down!! Haha :D

But now, let's talk style...This Morrissey Fan has evolved from her teenage years, she doesn't go to the concert in Converse sneakers, she changed them for an amazing pair of Schutz booties and instead of the clear wayfarer glasses that Steven AKA "Mozza" made famous, she has a less literal version in pink (love them!). Also, I wanted to show what she would wear after the concert ;) so I put her in show stopper heels and added an amazing flower print faux-leather jacket :) because we all know the link between flowers and The Smiths right? haha :D and also the flowery details come perfect for spring and as we saw on Fashion Week they will come even stronger for Fall!

 If you like the jacket click HERE it's on SALE ladies ;)  and if you want to listen to one of my favorite songs of all time enjoy HERE

Ok, well this has been a blast, hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Thanks for stopping by!

TRENDS: Good Sport?

Hey Hey :)

The Sporty Trend was demurely embraced for Fall 2013 but we are definitely going to see its full bloom during this spring...The key to pull this trend off is to mix it with sleek and sophisticated accessories that add a bit of luxe to the outfit so it doesn’t come off as you are part of a high school varsity team or going to the gym! An example of this is the re-interpretation of the classic baseball hat in leather or even Chanel Sneakers!

Since I'm SURE this will be a love or hate trend I’ve put together 3 options depending on how big of a statement you want to make with it.

I hope you enjoy! 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!
