Red in Time

Time to put some color into the wardrobe. Wearing a hint of red makes you feel like a powerful woman doesn't it? It makes you pop out of the crowd but not to obnoxiously, its subtle. Instead of wearing the usual black, white, neutrals, and jeans, lets add a little bit of red into the wardrobe next time. It makes you feel like THE independent woman. And to be honest, since I got these new red heels, which you all will see soon, I can't get enough of it. My red lipstick and red heels, something I will always have in my closet. AND SO SHOULD YOU! 

extra on the side, please

It's that time of the year: COUTURE COUTURE COUTURE!

which means conceptual becomes reality and there's tons of pretty to look at.

I think we all know that on the side of the shows themselves, the street style is a spectacle all on its own. Most of these were from the Paris Haute Couture shows (these were just a handful from the many we found), and stay tuned for our favorite picks from the runway from the fancy fancy.

note: Miroslava Duma looks pretty damn amazing every time. Plus the rottweiler & the tall boots (Givenchy)... Lust - Every girl needs a pair a boots that resembles perpetual bell bottoms and Megaman all together!

As I sit here in the middle of the night thinking about what to wear for 4th of July (I'm going to a vintage 30s/40s themed event... ideas?), I can only wish our wardrobe could be like some of the images depicted from the 40s. I love fashion with a purpose & that reflects heavily on the time. Victory suits + victory rolls are trends that defined a large chunk of the 1940s because of WWII. So much came out of fashion & the image of women during this time when everything was scarce & rationed.

Fashion that preservers and redefines

(& we see it echoed again & again on current runways - now that's strength & longevity!)

Hope everyone in the States has a Happy & Safe 4th!!!

girl crush: Clémence Poésy

Always spot on in style... if only I could have her entire wardrobe. -kitty hat included-

p.s. apologies on the slow-down of posts! Aran's been starting something new & I've been preparing for a cross country move. Sadly, it's time for my NYC life to come to a close... [for now] - So I've been busy packing and trying to get the last bittersweet bits of the city into my system.

no worries, postings will be back to regular speed!
