7 Manly sins.


Car key spinner.
Dear boys with expensive (father’s) cars, spinning and/or placing you BMW car keys on the table by ladie's drink is not one of the most recommended seduction methods. Sure, it may get you a certain type of a girl for a one-nighter but after she meets your father you might soon take upon a role of her stepson. So, just keep the keys in your pocket and try with regular verbal communication.


High school vibe.
Trust me when I say this, because I think I am speaking in the name of most of the ladies when I say that hoodies, jeans and sneakers cannot be your day to night outfit on a regular basics even if you are a professional athlete or unemployed working from home. Dress your age honey! There is a proper attire for each occasion and every age.


Branded head to toe.
Ok, you got money to spend and like designer clothes but please try not to be a walking billboard with CK underwear showing from your pants, D&G hanging from your belt, DSquared written in all caps on your T-shirt, LV pasted all over your sneakers and wrist watch of the size of my head. This type is usually guilty of the key spinning sin as well. Just don’t do it, ok? Fashion aside, it simply looks like you have raped a designer multi-brand store window.




Cologne junky.
You like to smell well and like good perfumes, fine. We like it when our man smells good but when I need to air out my apartment two weeks after you have left it, then it means you should go by the less is more rule. Spray the perfume and/or body spray just on the couple of body spots where your body is the warmest like: back of the neck, chest and inner side of your elbows. Let us have to come closer to you to smell your perfume. ;)



Philosopher.
Some men get stuck in a phase in between college and real life and superficial vs. real meaningful relationship and build up a whole philosophy of excuses why everything in their life is better to remain in the "status Quo stage"   for a while. This type of men can grow into those creepers who go clubbing on a regular until they are 50+, continue wearing light jeans and to much hairgel , they stay behind their generation and fail in maintaining  romantic relationships and even though often successful at work they do, they do not feel happy with their life overall. Note for these kind of men – just grow up will ya?

          
 Workaholic.
God knows I used to fear I might become a female version of this type but thankfully I reflected on time and changed my ways. This is the type of a guy I used to date! Hint. Hint. This guy is at work morning to night, offten stops taking care of his body and health and continues to chase money with no tangible goal or end to it. Often they lose sense or reality, become less social, can’t maintain real friendships or  start drinking a lot and become real jerks in romantic relationships. I got two pieces of advice for this kind of men – #1 Money can’t buy you love. #2 Once you start speaking and acting in your private life as you do at work – it’s time for a career change honey. No matter how scared of failing you might be. Do it.



Looser.
Often called a male gold-digger. This guy has an excuse for everything that went wrong in his life. He barely completed college or didn’t even manage to, he still lives with his parents and doesn’t work because he still can’t figure out what exactly he wants to do with his life and he is pushing 30. If he manages to get a girl, he tries to move into her place asap and hopes she will be his new mommy. Note for Mr. Looser – get a job! Any job! Note for Mr. Loosers mother – kick him out. 




Do you know any men that have commited any of the above sins lovelies? Dare to share! ;)

Madrid mágico.


One would think I would have more photos to share after a week long vacation spent in beautiful Madrid. This was my first and last photo marking start of my vacation on Prague's airport, this was the moment where I took that “deep finally vacation breath” and tried to understand the articles I was reading in latest edition of Spanish Vogue.

Ahh the things we do for love….of fashion J Language is no barrier, and indeed, I understood most of it (thank you Marisol – 5th grade elementary school!). Other three and a half days I have spent detoxing from all of the daily noise of internet, iPhone, Twitter, Facebook, junk food, not sleeping and even blogging....and I tell ya it was short but magical!

At the same time I finally had time to hear myself think (not in a weirdo kind of way) and I had a chance to rethink how I go about what I want and don’t want in life and about the warp speed I am living at. 


Yes, I did all that couple of hours each day during my three day stay, on a sunny terrace in Madrid with my new Amigo mowing the lawn by the pool and occasionally curiously looking at me stretch in yoga poses in between my  Spanish Vogue and chic-lit pages.

Another magical thing happened in Madrid actually, it caught me totally of guard and I am still not sure how to go about it…all I know is that I am enjoying the journey. J

Power shift: What is it about men?


The truth is it gives me great pleasure to be able to do everything on my own.


I am able to make money on my own, much more than an average guy my age. I can put together a furniture piece and do type of work “men are suppose to do around the house” with my manicured nails and I am successful in most of the things I do, that is just the fact. Indeed I am far from your average girl both career wise and relationship wise. I don’t nag much; I don’t have bad PMS crises nor am I a control freak, I do have y bitch moods but they are reserved for moments when I am deprived of essentials – like sex or quality time with you. One would say I don’t need a man for traditional things, men are being used for J but there is a room for you, not in front of me, not behind me but by my side.

What is the problem you ask?

Not many men can handle women who they don’t think needs them for something essential, being money or housing or just a lifestyle they strive to have or project they have. Seems like most men are coded to be providers and hunters, most don’t admit it, but sooner or later it comes up in a relationship.

Now, what is a woman to do? Do we act stupid and let them feel superior or should we not settle for such guys and look for a “new age”, totally open minded guy who is so confident and strong minded that he will not feel threaten or less of a man next to a successful women?

How rare is it today for women to find a man beside of who women can feel like a women lovelies?

“Love is not about to people competing with each other,
it is about completing each other.”

Color outside of lines.


Some ladies think that being able to wear bright colors varies on your age, lifestyle, job bla bla...
The truth is, the only condition is your attitude darlings. Like Anna Dello Russo Japanese Vogue editor in chief does - turn on your favorite dancing music as soon as you wake up in the morning and look for some color in your clothes, put them together based on your current mood, not based on what you things people might say or by some "rules" of how many and which colors you should match. 

As inspiration for this post I choose: these marvelous McQueen and Jil Sander pencil skirts in vivid colors, some gorgeous designer platforms, stilettos and accessories.









It's all you baby! Color outside of lines!
Enjoy lovelies!

Spanglish.



It might seem funny and maybe strange, 

but after all those 'barely men', you were a welcomed change,
Pero a causa de usted yo aprendo Español,
My Spanish is the best, cuando pierdes el control and drink some alcohol.

No  lo sé que pasa con nosotros, 
Pensamos de uno al otro más que es usual,
So far there is no fear cause the feeling is mutual.

I like the way you smile and your silly James Dean obsesión,
Quiero cómo su primera impresión when you broke into my apartment with agresión.
Quiero que leamos libros semejantes,
and how we both play basketball con utilizar nuestro inteligence y our finesse.

All of this weird things about us - make you a special man,
nosotros no debemos definir nada, I enjoy spending time with you without a set up plan.

Urban gentleman: Man up!

Photo source: GQ Japan 

Man up darlings!


 The same way as you are fearlessly playing with balls, rackets and well…each other during sports games and matches why not try to play with fashion trying to express your personal style without blindly following trends or wearing whatever is safe or even worse – whatever it is that you have clean at the moment. Ok - we do think you are sexy looking all ruggedy and confused when you just get up in the morning - but that is not an acceptable day to night look darlin'!

All of you boys have your unique personalities, listen to different music, have different pace and style of living and are still young enough that your body can take various fashion experiments without looking like you try to hard.





Your most common mistakes are:
-Looking boring or the same as any other guy around due to playing it safe or easy
-Wearing wrong size and/or color for your body type/shape
-Wearing to much sports clothes because you are scared to look “gay” in more modern cuts
-Worrying to much on cost & complexity of paying more attention to what you wear

I have attached some photos and video tutorials  for inspiration,which will help you make somewhat classic pieces more hip and stylish and which will show you how not to only wear but also style your clothes once you put it on.






If there are more specific questions/concern you have and would like some help – feel free to email me your inquires by clicking on the e-mail me button on top right .

Enjoy lovelies!

Miaowwww!!!


I don't know about you, but I don't buy sunglasses to often. This is one of the things I don't impulse buy but rather take my time and go through magazines and do a little online research before I select a perfect pair, then I find a store where they have them, go there with one of my brutally honest friends and then finally I make a purchase. 





Well this time, the process was a bit different. I guess this time I went with my gut feeling...there is so much Cat like qualities about me (other then the nickname) like - I am rather wild, have a hard time respecting the authority, taking lots of risks, playful (read not ready to grow up fully), having hard time staying at one place for a long time, sensual and well - my eyes, they change color from hazelnut brown to light olive green when I am upset.

Aren't these frames and shades so deliciously Caty darlings? My top pics are Tom Ford - Nikita's.


Trust me, wearing these give you an instant lady appeal and demand attention.





Dare to wear them!

If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat."
