Fierce spring couture

This is how you hail a cab in the City! 

With some attitude, drama and glamour! :)

For me, alhtough I really support, enjoy, wear and love street style fashion and street inspired looks on runway, couture is the essence of the fashion. It represents dreams and takes you to the world where everything is possible and acceptable.  It is the reason why I love the fashion so much.

My favourite couturist after late McQueen is definitely John Galliano! Here are the looks from his Spring Couture 2011. line. Looks like the trend in fashion's la-la land is fierce, passionate but romantic voluminiousness. :) 

Don't you love it darlings?

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. 

Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; 

nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who hope that their dreams will come true."

Shhhhh...Rihanna on American Vogue cover - FIERCE!

Rihanna tweeted ( Webster - its time to add this word to a dictionary. Thanks!) that she just wraped up a cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz! 
Can it get any more fierce? :) Love it. Can't wait to buy it!


"Just wrapped my first American Vogue cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz...Rah!" 


Enjoy your day darlings!

We made music together.

I got your letter and I was sad,

You wrote it cause of her and that made me mad,

I fell in love, and that was my only bad.

The words you used were hurtful and lame,

there was nothing for what you took the blame.

I am never aggresive, just young and naive,

I was always honest to you and my intention was never to decieve.

You can write all you want to make yourself believe,

all of our friends have noticed the emotion,

so go ahead and act like you have this new "devotion".

 After all, I don't regret a thing, 

everybody knew it wasn't just a fling.

We looked good together, it lasted long,

we both knew, something would soon go wrong.

I wish you all the best, whatever you choose to do,

just remember that for Tango - it takes two.

After so many years of lies - sometimes love dies, 

but I guess when there is cash in question - it somehow multiplies.

 Together we had fun times, wrote music and spoke in rhymes.

I jumped in it free and with an open heart, 

I just wanted to see you happy ...

so I don't feel like a victim and I am ready for a new start. 

"Zbogom."

Lost in baggage!

Hi fabulousnesses! 


I am so sorry I haven't been blogging for a while. I have moved into a new apartment and my life is in suitcases right now (lots of them). I am unpacking it and getting rid of some emotional baggage while at it, all at once.


 I have been terribly buisy with all of this moving in business:  shabby chicking my fabulous "old meets new" furniture, designing my velvet meets silk ceiling to floor curtains and chair covers with my fabulous friend Alex.


All while listening to Snoop Dogg & Edit Piaf  and trying  my best not to get behind schedule on my day job - Ouu yes indeed! I sure am emotional mess right now! 


Thanks for being patient with me! 
Photos of my newely self redecorated apartment coming up next week!  
Also, I am bringing you some exclusive stories & interviews from local and international fashion scene!


Enjoy lovelies!

The future of fashion is 6 months!

Chanel

As Karl Lagerfeld said during one of his interviews, and I also trully believe so: " the future of fashion nis six months", which is more than obvious with ever growing market for resort and other mid season collections.

I have selected couple of signature pieces from my most liked Pre-Fall 2011. collections for you bellow.

Chanel show inspired by the lost culture of Byzantium is definitely targeting emerging markets of middle east, India and China as well as the royalties of mother Russia and United Kingdom. 

I love,love,love the filigree headbands, gorgeous embroidery and Chanel's staple - quilted handbags.

Fendi

Emerald and sapphire jewel tones, exquisit detailing and hand picked luxurious fabircation were staples of this La Dolce Vita inspired Fendi collection. I loved the knee lenght skirts, beautiful warm color tones and the transitional character of every single piece. Day to night wear indeed.

Diane von Furstenberg

        Diane was inspired by glamurous american 70's sportswear creating another working women collection, simplified with geometric print and pieces that match with each other easily creating fast, clasic and chic daily outfits. My favorite are knee high thick heel boots worn with matching or bright turqoise socks, warm transitional colors reaching from brown to emerald green, mustard and tuquoise. I also enjoyed the almost horse riding look alike hats, very cool.

Donna Karan

I must admit, when I saw the first photos of Donna Karan's Pre-Fall 2011. collection first thing I said was - hello Ralph! But than I continued to click and noticed more and more layering and said - Ok, Donna is back ;) The warm urban color pallet of military green and  grays) country side chic (made of luxury fabrics - satin, shearling and cashmere) indeed reminded me on classic Ralph Lauren look. 

My favorites were oversized shirt, hanging belt jumpsuit and satin gown at the end of the show.

Elie Tahari

Elie Tahari has showed a red carpet worthy collection with touches of fur to spice us the tailored look. I was most impressed with his dressy jumpsuits, simple but dressy skirtsuits and party ready accessories.

BCBG Max Azria

Max and Lubov Azria put together a collection inspired by "the blazing colors of Guy Bourdin's photographyof" (style.com's - Matthew Schneier) mostly long, loose dresses, all in very bright gem tones. I love the long semi sheer dresses as well as the asymetrical knee high ones all touches with spring's bright color lines.

Carolina Herrera

Carolina Herrera is always one of my favorites as it most coresponds with my personal style, so I daubt I can ever be objective in comments. She kept it simple indeed, working with comfy jersey, silk organza and satin all in frency gray with random pop's of color - my favorites were long red dress, box jacket with fur color worn with almost a sweat pants comfy wool pants, gorgeous flop detailing pencil skirt and trench gown. Love it!

To my girls.

Although we are oceans apart, 

I think about you all quit a lot. 

I often remember things we used to do 

And all the issues we managed to pull through. 

We were the best, we were the worst, sometimes the last and sometimes the first. 

Whenever I am fixing my make up before I work out,

 I can almost see Kacy smiling and Kelli calling me out. 

Whenever I feel down and my emotions swirl,

 I hear Erin screaming: "You go and get them girl!" 

I never dare to give up on my dreams and my work, 

Cause I remember Alis playing in pain without a smirk. 

My every morning coffee reminds me on my partner in crime, 

My fabulous GF! We were inseperable all of the time! 

T.T., Brandy and Shay - team OOCD! 

Where these three were - party was a guarantee! 

When I turn on the MTV, first thought is Mellsy - the dancing queen! 

Every practice with her went by faster - because she got that MJ gene! 

Armina is the one I call every time I am down, 

When it comes to real life urgant help - she is wearing a crown. 

We grew up together; This game gave us a chance, 

it tought us the steps - for the Real Life dance. 

You were my sisters, mothers ad my mirror image, 

We helped each other grow; having you in my life is a true privilege. 

We started as lady tigers, today we are a lion queens, 

Scoring in real life and leading big business teams 

so we had to pass the ball to some other tiger teens.
