Daily Obsessions

Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days, but this week has been hectic. I just submitted and presented my final paper as an undergrad (It was 37 pages). Submitting it is so relieving! So today I came across these Del Toro shoes that I love at Moda Operandi.

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.

Statement Pieces

These are what I call statement necklaces, they go perfectly with a simple dress and they can easily go from formal day wear to evening. All three necklaces are by Gucci.

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.

Melissa + Karl Lagerfeld

Melissa was made famous by it’s rubber shoes. It previously had collaborations with many designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Jason Wu. Yesterday they launched their new collection with Karl Lagerfeld.

On their website, Melissa wrote about the collection saying: “In fashion, don’t take anything too seriously. If you follow this piece of advice, you can free yourself up to play with different looks and bring together various references in a fresh way”.

Here are the looks from the collection but my favorite is the one with the ice cream cone.

Dita Von Teese’s 3D Printed Dress

This dress created by New York designer Michael Schmidt and architect Francis Bitonti is one of the first of its kind. The entire dress was created using 3D printers. The dress is made out of nylon and draped over a nude silk corset. The nylon is so flexible that it acts like a fabric. After hand-linking all the pieces together, the dress was incrusted with 12,000 crystals.
