Daily Obsessions

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!

Daily Obsessions

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.

Daily Obsessions

Today I couldn’t help myself but blog about these Alexander McQueen pumps. In the eyes of many theses pumps are classic, but that’s exactly why I like them. No matter how modern I am or try to be, I can’t help but fall back to classics. They are the basis of what we have today, it’s like saying we will not celebrate The Parthenon or The Colosseum because they are too old. We will always be marveled and struck by the beauty of old and classical objects and buildings, which we can use to help inspire us to move further into a more modern era. So I believe we should celebrate classical objects and lets start by loving these McQueen pumps.

Winter Tale – Cartier

I know I have been talking a lot about jewelry for the past few weeks but I can’t help myself admire and appreciate such exquisite pieces. A few days ago Cartier launched an ad campaign called “Winter Tale”, the story revolves around two panther cubs that take us on a journey through a snow covered land as they reveal pieces from Cartier’s collection. The film manages to take you to a different dimension and somehow allows you to dream. In the film the cubs will encounter pieces from both women’s and men’s collections.

Daily Obsessions

I came across this Ferragamo coat today, and I couldn’t help but realize how much of an anticipation a coat can create. Imagine a woman walking into a room with a beautiful coat on, wouldn’t you be eagerly waiting to see what she would be wearing underneath? I know I would be!

I was at the mall yesterday and I stepped into the Gucci store and my eye caught this beautiful handbag. I could not help but notice it’s reference to a doctor’s bag. The Bamboo Top Handle bag is classic, sharp, and a statement piece!

CHANEL N°5- Marilyn Monroe

Sometimes the business and entrepreneurial side of my personality appears and I cannot but admire a successful business venture or endorsement that helps elevate the brand.  If not the most iconic, then one of the most iconic women endorses Chanel. With her famous reply to the question “What do you wear to bed?” Marilyn responded, “CHANEL N°5.” Marilyn created a large buzz about it. Enjoy the video!

Daily Obsessions

I just arrived to Dallas, Texas to visit my Aunt, her Daughter, and Husband for Thanksgiving break. That’s why I haven’t posted till now!

I believe that accessories can always boost an outfit I just came across this Louis Vuitton infinity collar. The collar is a collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama. Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist who became famous for her psychedelic colors and patterns. I will be keeping my eyes open for inspirations here in Dallas (as the home for Neiman Marcus). I will keep you posted as usual if I come across anything!

Statement Piece

Before I talk about today’s obsession, I could not help but thank you all. Thank you for the constant emotional support I have been getting and thank you for following and reading my blog. After realizing what I wanted to talk about today I could not help but think about my mother and aunts. They may have different styles but they somehow manage to like and purchase the same exact things. The combination of their styles and personalities have made me imagine this woman, lets call her the Zaidd’or woman, a woman that would love to have or already has the things that I post about. I am thankful because they shaped my style and fed my imagination to talk about this effortlessly chic and graceful woman that encompasses all styles.

Today I am going to talk about a piece from my favorite designers Dolce & Gabbana. When I saw this poster all I could imagine is my mother or one of my aunts being in a hurry, holding her son, and being effortlessly chic. As a sunglasses fanatic I could not help but love these pair. If you are planning on going Sicilian Baroque this season then go with this statement piece.

L’Invitation Au Voyage

Celebrating the Speedy Bandoulière 25 Bag, Louis Vuitton launched a campaign which shows a woman entering the Louvre after her encounter with many master pieces she reaches her destination. A legendary trunk that holds a secret for more than 150 years, with the envelope in hand she leaves for a far-off destination in pursuit of her destiny.

I appreciate when art, fashion, and advertising come together to create something exceptional.
