My Cruella de Vil Moment

Now that I finally booked my flight to Milan on the 15th of September. I started thinking of what I should pack to take with me now that the summer is almost over. While browsing some collections online I came across these two fur coats by Tom Ford and my jaw dropped. Yes, I had my Cruella de Vil moment.  I couldn’t choose which fur coat looked better therefore I couldn’t decide which one to post. But I know for a fact that I would love to pull the black fur coat look. I also love the tuxedo underneath the black coat. Don’t get me wrong that I don’t like the brown one but I would probably go with the black one.

To Wear, Or Not To Wear?

I came across these belts by Ermenegildo Zegna and everyday I look at them and wonder if I purchase one how creepy would I look like. Would I be the guy that writes his name on a buckle, or like that has s*x on his buckle, or the guy with the LED scrolling message?  I wonder how stupid would I look with my name starting with Z and wearing a buckle with a Z, or would it be normal?  To wear, or not to wear, that’s the question.

Bulgari & Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni the former First Lady of France stars in the new Bulgari campaign for the “Diva Collection”. The former First Lady may have stopped modeling, but she explains her return by pointing out how she adored a Bulgari bracelet her aunt when Carla was a child, and she had to model for the brand because it was part of her childhood.   “Like the stones of the Seventies bracelet that my aunt wore when I was a child. I loved that bracelet. I loved its joy, its fantasy,I dreamed of one day possessing such a wonder of my own! I was told that, like me, it came from Italy to Paris. Perhaps that was part of why I loved it, too.”

Daily Obsession – Louis Vuitton

I am obsessed with these Alma bags in the Epi leather. I love the colors Louis Vuitton is currently carrying, they are classic but the pop of color allows it to stand out. As always I love the largest size of the Alma bag, as they say,  The higher the heel the closer to god, the bigger the bag the smaller the A**.

Daily Obsessions – Hermès

I recently found out that this year Hermès created a men’s version from their iconic H bracelets. The main difference is that the men’s version is matte rather than it being shiny gold or silver. The black bracelet may be found online but they also carry beige and brown in their stores.

Statement Pieces

A few weeks ago I walked into the Omega boutique in Saudi Arabia and I saw the new Aqua Bracelet by Omega. They bracelets stayed on my mind and a few days ago I decided to go ask about them here at the Washington DC boutique. I love these uni-sex bracelets because they are statements as well as having a classic quality. The Aqua Bracelet comes in two different materials rubber and leather. The majority of the bracelets are made out of rubber. Because of the rubber material the bracelet can be worn at all times.

Graduation Gifts

I know I have been flooding my blog with graduation gift ideas, but this is the topic that everyone around me has been discussing. So yesterday a friend of mine called me saying that her parents want to get her a watch as a graduation present. She wants it to be classic but she also loves the ceramic with gold look. After so much search, the final options were a Chanel and a Chopard watch.
