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!
My fascination with coats is never endless, it adds mystery to the outfit. Coats are probably the most spoken about by me, because everyday I am reminded of the cold as soon as I walk out of the door. Today I came across this studded cashmere coat by Thom Browne. It is such a statement piece!

Due to how iconic James Bond is, the watches he wears have brought so much attention over the years. Rolex and Omega have battled over the years for James Bond to be an ambassador to their brand. In the initial movies James Bond appeared wearing the Rolex Submariner. After the year 1995 James Bond switched to Omega and he has been wearing their Omega Seamaster ever since. With Omega launching a new limited edition watch for every movie, this year they launched the Skyfall Omega Seamaster.

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!

After moving to Washington D.C. and having to adjust to the constant alternating weather I found difficulty in picking which pair of shoes I would wear that day. The worst days to decide on picking a pair of shoes would be the rainy days in the middle of summer, I wouldn’t want to destroy my driving shoes but also I want to look good. Therefore I found a solution, they are called Shudy. Shudy is in Italian brand that produces rubber driving shoes and boots, perfect for lousy weather and a great substitute to leather and suede driving shoes. Take a look!
They come in many colors, I personally own a grey pair I love them because the color goes with almost everything.

In the business industry if you want to create a powerful first impression then exceptionally tailored jackets and pants are the way to go. Although recent consumer behavior studies have shown that when talking to the public, wearing a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweater creates this relation based on “equality” or “similarity” between consumers and CEOs (examples include Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerburg). Such techniques only work in a few industries, I can’t imagine a person meeting with his clients on Wall St. would even think of wearing a pair of jeans. Going back on track, looking sharp is always a great first impression and if there is a look that I would love to wear everyday it would be like the one below. Knowing how to layer may be difficult but when done correctly it gives the man this je ne sais quoi that makes him look more appealing.

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.

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.

A month ago I spoke about photo shoots that capture a certain moment. Where you come to a realization that it is one of the prettiest things you would ever see. Furthermore, imagine yourself being that person in alternate universe. This is a photo shoot done by Harper’s Bazaar in 2007 it shows Gisele Bündchen wearing Chanel Haute Couture.
As much as I have previously spoken about the Chanel Spring 2013 show, I just realized that I haven’t t spoken about the Lego inspired bags. Karl Lagerfeld is at it again. I was watching a documentary about Valentino the other day and Karl whispers in his ear and tells him ” compared to us, the rest are making rags”. Many people including me beg to differ but something made me realize how powerful they both are in the industry and how the revolutionized it to what it is today. Ok I need to stop before I show how truly crazy I am about this industry, so here are the lego inspired handbags:

Bored from wearing traditional cardigans and sweaters? Well today I came across this cardigan by Alexander McQueen that will add to your closet and act as a statement piece.
While growing up I rarely saw men wearing bow ties, unless they wore tuxedos. But as time passed and a newer generation emerged which tried to redefine casual suits. Bow ties reappeared and became somewhat of a statement. I embraced this trend about a year ago and now I can never miss a chance where I can wear one. I came across this bow tie by Tiemension which I love! It reads futuristic and sharp but there is one thing about it, it is made out of plastic! It somehow looks like what Darth Vader would wear with his tuxedo!
