There is something about architectural pieces that make me so happy. Take a look at this Roberto Cavalli dress, the ability for the dress to sit perfectly on ones body and give it an effect is what differentiates designers from mass clothing manufacturers. Moreover, when a designer creates an architectural piece it adds some form of power and edge to the person wearing the piece.

Etro knows how to do prints, thats what they are famous for! As I was online shopping a few weeks ago I came across this paisley printed men’s scarf. It adds so much to ones closet, it gives a glimpse to what you might be wearing underneath that buttoned up coat and scarf.

I saw this Instagram photo by a blogger. I don’t post Instagram photos but I can’t help but post it. I have been starring at it from yesterday seriously every 15 minutes I would check out the photo again. It is made my Goldesign from Brazil.

I found the video of the runway show! As I promised here is the video. I hope you like it as much as I did. Also read yesterdays post (here) to know more about this show that is held every year by Chanel.
Remember Chanel’s Indian inspired runway show last year? If not please take a look at my previous post. This year the Chanel runway show took place in Scotland in the ruins of the Linlithgow Palace. I tried my best to find the video of the runway show but because this happened a few hours ago I couldn’t find anything except some media coverages. I will post the video on the blog as soon as I can find it. But for now we can settle for highlights of the collection. So please look at the photos below and just dream.
Ps. There is one photo below of a man with a child. I wish that is how I will be looking on a typical day 10 to 15 years down the line taking a stroll with my child. Enjoy it and just dream!
Click on the images below to enlarge them. Also here is a video of the news coverage and it has some glimpses from the fashion show. (click here to see the news coverage)
The same time last year Chanel created an extravagant runway show in Paris. The inspiration to this collection was Bombay, India. I have posted this video to show you how beautiful the setting and collections were. As this post will be the backdrop of the next post please make sure to read the post that is soon to come. The next post is about this year’s runway show (which took place a few hours ago) it was set in Scotland in the ruins of Linlithgow Palace.
I hope you enjoy last years collection and don’t forget to read the next post, so you can see how beautiful the Scottish inspired show turned out to be. Enjoy!
Roger Vivier created a pair of shoes which I like to call ‘different’ I may not be a big fan. But I must admit they are a show stopper, I feel like it is something Sarah Jessica Parker would wear. Like any other article of clothing it should be worn correctly. Up until now I might have to see them in real life to be convinced, but I had to show them to you to help me decide if we like them or not.
I believe we always need to look at pieces from the past and look at their beauty. Jewelry for past royalty is one of the things that I love to see. Because they were the ones that stood to define elegance and grace. Moreover they were one of the few that had the money to buy the best of what the world had to offer. Today I want to look back at the Noor-Ol-Ain Tiara (It was named after the Noor-Ol-Ain pink diamond which is used in it- the pink diamond is one of the largest pink diamonds in the world). The tiara was given to The Empress Farah Pahlavi as a gift from her husband Shah Mohammed Reza on their wedding day. It was made and designed by Harry Winston.
Being in the holiday season everyone might be running around purchasing outfits for weddings that are taking place, New Years parties, and Christmas Eve parties as well. I always love outfits that are classic but will allow you to pop out in between everyone. If you are willing to be bold enough, I would go with this velvet tuxedo. Perfect for that New Years and Christmas party you are going to. It is classic, It is amazingly cut, and it pops out.

I just saw this video yesterday and I just had to share it with you! It was uploaded two days ago and it tells the story of two women walking along the Seine River, to meet their waiting Riva. Morning turns to afternoon. Nightfall descends and they are off to take part in the vibrant Parisian nightlife.
The dresses and their detailing are just pure beautiful, it somehow puts you in this dreamy mood.
Over the past month we have seen many designers derive their inspirations from Disney princesses. The world’s top designers have created dresses for ever Disney princess (Click here to see the dresses). While Chopard created the jewelry for them (Click here to see the jewelry). Now that the princesses have the most beautiful dresses and jewelry in all the realm, all that they need is their shoes. So who better than Louboutin can create shoes for princesses? Take a look!
Also watch how much detail goes into the making of these shoes.
So before reading this post scroll down to the post below for an explanation about these two posts. Nevertheless, I just came across this Chanel handbag, it’s part of Chanel’s Versailles cruise collection. To me this Chanel handbag is what Marie Antoinette would have worn if Chanel was her designer. I hope you like it as much as I did!

So today I am going to have two posts in celebration of my 21st birthday. I know, I am getting old… It also manages to be the day where I have to take my graduation photos. It feels like I am in a new stage in my life, flipping the page and hopefully moving to something bigger and better. Thinking about the future I came to a conclusion, now that I am getting older I need to create a wardrobe wish list. This wish list should have sharper day to day outfits, and lucky me I just found the first thing I am going to put on this list. This Kenzo turquoise suit will be the first on my list, it may be an unconventional color, and it may look bad if worn incorrectly but I am ready to take on that challenge. I can imagine myself wearing this suit in the spring sitting in a café in Italy waiting for a fashion show to start. (I might be dreaming way too much, but I go with concept called “dream big”).

Over a year ago Tod’s launched men’s driving shoes in pastel colors, at that time I fell in love with the idea because traditionally men wear leather shoes in black, brown and white therefore they were pushing the envelope. This year Tod’s launched driving shoes for men in neon colors, which are perfect for the summer they give a certain vibe to the outfit. Perfectly worn with blue or white pants cuffed above the ankles. A perfect outfit for long walks on the beach at sunset after a long day of tanning.

A few days ago I came across a dress by Maison Martin Margiela, which I loved. It may look like a simple dress but it is actually a horizontal dress on top of the dress, the creativity behind it is pure genius. Still confused on how its made? Take a look at the pictures below they will help you visualize it. The pictures show two women who have worn it in different ways, which I think will make it clearer.
