the puffier the better!

You guys know I am a sucker for puffy ballerina dresses.

Check out this pretty little number for Zara.

I paired it with Mary Janes for a fun yet out together look.

They are not just shoes, the stories behind them make them special

"I am a firm believer in destiny and from the moment I saw these shoes I knew they were meant to be mine". 

Most people will tell you that their love for shoes is a life long trait that develops when they first try mom's heels by the age of 4... and I agree. I also remember falling a couple of times running to meet my mom at the door with the click clacking of her own heels, then six times bigger than my feet. But that was just love, the obsession came in later; and as far as I can remember this obsession became part of me on a Sunday afternoon halfway through a bowl of ice cream the Sex and the City series.

As soon as I saw those pink Louboutin sandals I just knew. I looked and looked everywhere with no luck; of course I should have know I was not going to find a pair of shoes from the 90's. 

Finally I realized my wishful thinking and started buying other styles and colors until one day in one of my many "carrie bradshaw pink louboutin sandals" google search I found the Mount Street petal sandals.

So similar and yet much more me. The search was over and I felt the relieve. So I called and called and called numerous places and nobody had these shoes all I would get was "these were last season" answers.

By this second heartbreak I'll admit I forgot about them and that brings me to my quote

"I am a firm believer in destiny and from the moment I saw these shoes I knew they were meant to be mine". 

One day window shopping around Neiman Marcus on the sales rack, a little dusty, the petals crumpled   together and half a size smaller were my perfect shoes. I even had no money at the time to splurge but how could I say no? so I said yes!

MISSING

Emergency alert to all Fashionistas!


These babies are missing from my shoe closet!!! and are no where to be found!

I saw these Nicholas Kirkwood lace leather booties in the Nordstrom spread of the Sep. issue Vogue, but I can't find them anywhere online..

If you happen to have any information, please let me know.

Sincerely,

a shoe rehab drop out.

Its time for lady Gaga to put her pants back on

Menswear is something that has fascinated us women for quite some time. We try to incorporate the trend here and there, but sometimes we fall short. What is it about wearing an empowering pant suit we are so afraid of?
I think its the idea of losing our precious femininity after years of dresses ruling the catwalk.
But we must not be afraid of the pant suit any longer, because it has been brought back and reinvented to suit almost every taste.
Coco Chanel created a pant suit in 1933, and girls like Olivia Palermo wear one today. However, little did I know that the pant suit was also popular in the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's. 

However, it was Armani that was king of the trend during the 80's after seeing some of his designs this year I think the brand and has come back to regain its title.

It was also seen at Chanel 2011 resort, Balmain rtw 2010 and Donna Karan to mention a few.

Now the question is.. is sleeker silhouettes and tailoring at its best what it takes for us to wear a pant suit?

You tell me!

Quick fix

Hi guys:

As I was coming back from the mall I realized I lost my camera's memory card..but luckily my mac did the trick (which apparently is cutting my head off).

But oh well.. at least you guys get to see the outfit good stuff .

I have been trying to wear a lot of white lately because come fall there won't be any of it in my closet. As for shoes I was wearing nude Zara bow pumps.

and there you have it.

Zara shirt,shorts, and shoes, Paul smith frames,Michael Kors watch, Banana Republic bangles, and Aldo ring.

Hot and right now!

Totally loving the skinny cargo pant look. 

Very right now.

Very cool casual.

Very in.

Very must have.

... and after so many very's and not enough $ I decided to shop for less and found my perfect pair at Bebe for $ 119.00. Unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures online but I will be wearing them very soon.

If you want something similar to Leighton you can try these 7 for all man kind for $ 169.00

Rihanna who was also spotted doting the trend is wearing J brand Houlihan skinnys which cost approximately $ 230.00

So soldier drop it and give me 50!.. comments that is :)

Designers doing good

It is so nice to see designers who make good use of their fame!
We all already know that DVF is a one of them, and she has proven it once again by designing hospital gowns for Cleveland Clinic.

The idea came about when Diane met CEO Toby Cosgrove, at a networking conference in 2007. 

The patients needed something a little bit more comfortable than the standard hospital gown, and Diane agreed to be part of the change.

So, she did what she does best and reinvented the gowns to something that allowed more coverage and gave it a little pizzazz with a happy print.

Don't we just love her?

xoxo
