I Thought Lightning Never Struck Twice?

The Storm has passed and McQueen has left us speechless again! Did you ever wonder what happens when lightning strikes? That maybe that is the time when Aliens come to Earth? Well, kids update your text books because McQueen has shown us the Alien's hidden secrets.... HIM! His Paris portal has transcended Aliens to our planet and they are hear to stay! 

With shocking colors, bold illusionistic patterns, and shoes that are OUT OF THIS WORLD, McQueen has single handedly converted me to "Alienism". The silhouettes of the entire collection are avant-garde, disgustingly Alien chic, and the affect mind blowing. 

I cannot stop gawking over this collection and if I were one of those lucky people sitting at that show... believe me I would not be writing this... I would be dead.  My heart stopped once Style.com posted his collection and I would be foaming at the mouth and in a hospital if I witnessed it in person.

 

Who wants to be an Alien come Spring? 

I DO!!!

Coo Coo for Rochas!!!

My FAVORITE show from Paris thus far has been Rochas collection! The looks that pranced down the runway were fun, flirty, reminiscent of a 1940s Hawaiian vacation, and the colors STUNNING. Breath taking hues of deep burgundy, mustard gold, teal, salmon, red (all time favorite), and white. 

The silhouettes shaped the feminine figure with tight high waisted belts and sheer blouses focusing on dainty lingerie bras. Sunglasses and socks tied the looks together and as a whole the collection was a success! These looks made me want to hop on a plane to a warm destination and skip around in a little romper and red lipstick... oh if I only could ( it is raining now in Brooklyn, NY).  One thing is for sure... as soon as Spring/ Summer arrives I will be wearing dainty little frocks in bright colors, shoes with cute socks, and of course some red lipstick!

Did you find your shade yet? GET ON IT! ox

Embellish Me Pretty!

SPARKLES

STUDS

SEQUINS

DIAMONDS

GEMS

AND MORE... OH MY!

This Spring one trend that is obvious is... it is time for women to feel like glitzy girls again! It is time to get out of this recession depression and add some MUCH needed sparkle back into our lives! Whether it is just a dash of glitz here or a pinch or spark there... girls need to feel glamours again.  Most recently in Paris, designers like Lavin and Balmain have added glam to their frocks... embellishing their jackets, tops, and umping up their silhouettes with accents. 

These looks are easy to recreate at home and can be worn even now! Stop in Zara or LF Stores  for a sequin blazer or in a vintage shop for am embellished flirty dress. Whether you are at work, school, getting the mail, or out with your friends sparkles are always necessary... just remember the cardinal rules...

1. Feel confident! Glam attracts everyones eyes so if you don't like what you are wearing or feel comfortable then your mission to look fabulous has failed and now you look glitzy and weird

2. Start off slow bedazzling yourself. Try an embellished bolero paired with jeans, cute tee, and funky books or heels

3. Don't over do the glitz at work! You don't want to come off as a "party girl" or look like you are wearing the outfit from the night before... that just doesn't look professional. 

Readers remember the rules and embrace some funky glitz and glam!  Get out of your dark depression state of mind and come to life again.  Things are looking up so why not freshen up your look with some dazzling gems!

Greetings Earthlings!!!

Well... Aliens have taken over Paris Fashion Week and frankly I love it!! Designers have either taken the "white out", feminine floral prints, or sci-fi sportswear approach to their Spring 2010 collection.  Recently designers such as Gucci, Rick Owen, and Balenciaga showcased their views in form fitting textiles, featuring cut out shapes and layering affects.  Shoes are what make their looks so stunning and alienesk with overly done slouchy boots or cut of heels. These looks are trendy, unconventional, and above all FUN! 

Whether you are classic, preppy, Gothic, or modern you can incorporate accessories or separates into your wardrobe to make your look more sci-fi chic this coming Spring! Try updating your look with the real deal (if you can afford it), lower end knock offs, or even create your own.  It is time to EXPERIMENT! If you are afraid to do "the alien" at work or at school try your new trend out at night... see how people react to you ( and it they don't get it... obviously they aren't fashion forward or adventurous... OR maybe you will inspire them to try it as well)...ALSO see how this new trend makes you feel.  This trend is exciting and sexy in a very space aged cool way. I personally cannot wait to update my Spring look with some funky shoes and alien sportswear outfits!!
