Statement Piece
Today I came across this jacket by Belstaff. All I have to say is I love jackets and I am in love with this one! I also appreciate the fact that it is made out of PVC – although it may be hard to maneuver in- but this is a statement piece!

Daily Obsessions
When I came across these accessories by Lanvin I felt that a jewelry box from the Spanish Empire was found and these accessories were found in them (Well at their time they would have been real jewels) but nevertheless they are still great pieces!

Daily Obsessions
Today my obsession is over these Vera Wang dresses. I love when dresses have a simple bodice but then the detailing is at the bottom of the dress, and there is no detailing I love more than using the cloth in irregular patterns to create the bottom part of the dress or the tail. Take a look at the pieces I loved!

Men’s Accessories
If you are a fan of the movie The Devil Wears Prada you will automatically know what accessory I am taking about! Nigel’s (Stanley Tucci) ring. Ever since I have seen the movie his ring has always been on my mind. He showed me how easy it is for men to pull off wearing the right statement ring. I have been searching for a statement ring as this for a while now and I hope I end up finding it! The picture I found of the ring does not do justice to how it really is. I searched for the photo, watched every clip of the movie posted online but cant find the specific scene that I wanted. Oh well I guess I have to settle for this photo. Tell me what you think about it !

Is TechnoMarine Making A Comeback?
Remember the days when everyone had a TechnoMarine, the days when the ability to change the watch straps was ingenious? Well TechnoMarine watches may be making a comeback. I have recently seen them in many stores around the world. But this time around I believe they are targeting the men’s market more. In the early 2000’s men were not open to wearing colored watches they limited themselves to black, brown, silver, and gold. But now men want to differentiate themselves they want their watch to stand out so they are more accepting of wearing colored watches.

Shopping Around
On a typical day I tend to visit many online stores and window shop, (if that applies to online shopping as well), I mainly try to find the best designs and labels for future references. So when someone tells me they are looking for something to wear for an event, I can tell them at which stores they can find what they want. Well today I am going to share with you my findings. I came across the following two articles of clothing that I loved.
The red dress is by Givenchy and the other one is by Mary Katrantzou. I hope you like them!

Large Handbags
Paris Fashion Week showcased many fascinating runway shows, but there was something in those shows that caught my eye, Large Handbags! Examples were in the Hermès and Chanel fashion shows, is the trend going to change to even larger handbag sizes? Do designers think they can still push the envelope a little further to sell even larger handbags than the ones we have to day without them looking like travel bags? Well as you know I applaud anything that pushes the envelope further. Birkins and Chanels what more can someone ask for?

My Picks From Zara Men
So now that fashion week has ended I can actually go back to talking about men’s and women’s fashion rather than just concentrating on the women’s runway shows. So today I actually checked out Zara’s online store to take a glimpse of what I want to buy for Fall. I found four pieces that I liked, a crossover cardigan, cable knit trousers, harem pants, and a tuxedo collar sweater. I hope you like them!

Paris Fashion Week/ Alexander McQueen
The ability to intertwine fashion and art to produce a wearable avant-garde garment is a talent only achieved by a few brands and designers. The visionaries of McQueen have that ability! Here are my favorite pieces from the collection.

Paris Fashion Week/ Saint Laurent
A few months ago the whole world heard the news about Hedi Slimane’s rebranding efforts to change the name from Yves Saint Laurent to Saint Laurent, many people were frustrated with such an idea due to how iconic it is. Today Hedi Slimane showed his collection, and it was The Wild Wild West meets Parisian runway. People may differ on whether it was genius or not, I loved it! Here are my favorite pieces!
