I wasn’t considering changing my sunglasses this year from how much I love them (they are the Suprema Persols in Havana). But today I came across these sunglasses, if I were in the market for sunglasses I would have grabbed them in a second. They are Giorgio Armani, they channel John Lennon and they look amazing when you put them on. They are from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection.

I received a photo that inspired me to write this post. One of my favorite things to go shopping for is shoes. I love how you can dress down or dress up the outfit with the shoes you are wearing. I also love statement shoes. How many men are willing to wear green, purple,red, and yellow shoes? Not many! But I do not know why, as shoes are one of the first things you look at when meeting a person. Here are my favorite shoes in unconventional colors from Mrporter.com:
Both the green and purple velvet slippers are by Stubbs & Wootton’s, The yellow shoes are by Tod’s No_Code, The green oxford shoes are by Mr. Hare. All photos were taken from mrporter.com
When looking at fashion shoots, I look for the ones that will give you an aha moment the moment where you want to cherish that ad and realize its one of the prettiest things you would ever see. Well I do not know if everyone gets those moments, or its just me the fashion addict. But here are two examples of these moments: One is by Chanel the other is by Dior.
The first picture is taken from the new book “Dior, 30 avenue Montaigne”
The second picture is taken from a scene in the CHANEL N°5 advertisement.
Whenever I see an Oscar De La Renta outfit, whether it is a dress or just a plain shirt. It gives me the feeling that the person wearing the outfit is ready to tango. I relate it to the tango because the designs translate the feeling of this sexy, elegant, powerful woman (which are all characteristics of a woman dancing the tango).

Today I came across the Tom Binns current and Spring 2013 collection, which I found really interesting! Here are my favorite pieces out of the collection.

For the first time a man endorses the CHANEL N°5 fragrance. Why I chose to post this today? Because at the end of the day I am a marketing major and whenever I see a great advertisement about fashion I love to share it. Tell me what you think!
The second video talks about the history behind CHANEL N°5 which embraces the sense of luxury in the fragrance.
Finally, I loved the editing and composition of both videos, which heightened the sense of luxury. Something to learn from when creating film projects in the future.
I came across this dress by Roberto Cavalli today and I loved it because of the material that is used in creating this dress. Visually you assume the fabric is a leopard print but as you get closer it’s lines of brown and honey brown combined to give this illusion.

One of my obsessions is the Hermès enamel bracelets. Take a look at my favorites!

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!

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!

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!

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 !
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.

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!
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?
