splendid time

Summer is around the corner, prepare yourself to bare some skin whether your just lounge near the pool or actually at the beach. I know if I were a cute young girl, I'm definitely a one piece swimsuit gal. This super provocative yet chic one piece swimsuit by Versus Spring Summer 2004 is on my list of a must have. I love how it's a tube style with an open cleavage. The color of dark pink bands, aqua blue with black pills print makes a refine statement. Gorgeous with a very clean slick back high ponytail and orange red thin strappy heels for a high society style.

tasteful individual

When I first saw Tom Warren on the catwalks, I really didn't think much of him. But after seeming him after season, their is something that I find catchy about him when you look closely. This British lad hailing from London is quite different than other male models. He has such a refreshing youthful classic edge look. I wish the male modeling industry can go back to the classic male model image that looked healthier and has meat on them. Here are recent polaroid pictures of him. Doesn't he just look ubberly delicious.

calming society

I love the whole idea of wearing a simple long sleeve jersey cotton crew neck top with a bikini bottom to just lounge at the beach or near your pool rather than taking a dip. It's about feeling comfortable and ease sensual sexy. You don't need to wear a two piece bikini top just because your wearing the bikini bottom. You can still throw on a simple top shown here at the Celine Spring Summer 2000 or a caftan for more of a boho dressing. I think it's sexier when a women covers up but shows some skin, keeps it a mystery.

The Kass Chain

This Kass chain bag by Michael Kors grew on me and since I saw it at the Michael Kors boutique store, I'm sold to purchasing it. I love how it only comes in two colors: black and white. Very simple but yet has a cool clear plastic chain with metal links. Wear this with a one piece black swim suit or with a tube full skirt dress on a low Thursday afternoon at a luncheon. What I love is that it isn't flashy but it has a certain edge that you just gotta look at it and see what it has to offer.

hidden shadows

If I were to be in the city of Portofino right now, this look would be my first outfit being there. A black jersey body suit with a neutral delicate floral light silk/cotton over coat with a pair of dark gray strappy sandal heels. Featured at the Alessandro Dell'Acqua Spring Summer 2003 collection. Subtle sexy without being too over stated and just pure relax elegance. Alessandro's style is about a rich Italian women that has a eclectic style of 40's and 50's with a modern confine twist. I just wish more women can dress in a sensual way rather than baring it all. What ever happen to the mystery of sexy?

return of the masculinity

For some reason, supermodel Robert Perovich is making it big with the new Jean Paul Gaultier "Le Male" ad campaign. Last week, I was at Sephora doing a little browsing and what struck me was his poster ad. I had to get a little closer look and I already knew it was Mr. Perovich. Gosh, so manly and charmful sensuality that I love about him. He's like one of the true male supermodels that has the whole package from his bone structured feature to his sexy toned body with a brilliant personality that makes him sought after male supermodel. I would love to see him grace the cover of Italian Vogue with either Isabeli Fontana or Daria Werbowy.

the noble one

Michael Kors must have for any season is a classic pair of black aviators. The most darkest black tint makes these sunglasses effortless and chic. Wear them with jeans and a white tee or an all cream suit, it all works. Mature and subtle sexy is what these sunglasses mean to me. What I love most about them is that their very simple but it has an edge that makes them different than all sunglasses.

empyrean sensitivity

Constance Jablonski and Mark Cox look effortlessly ethereal here in this Calvin Klein Spring Summer 2010 ad campaign. I love the industrial setting but yet mixed with the the modern chic red suit. It sorta reminds me of a matrix but in a more fashionable outlook. I love how their eyes look so stunned but with an ease feel. It's just one of those photographs that you gotta feel what the models emotions is giving. Another big inspiration for upcoming photo shoots that my friend and I are creating. Top secret.

glisten times

When it comes to sequin detailing, to me personally thats an automatic couture detail. Especially with this number from Alessandro Dell'acqua Spring Summer 2004 collection. It was about ultra feminine with a a 1950's twist. Shift sequin dress with floral print and jeweled neck and arm outline. This dress was also featured on the cover of Italian Vogue May 2004 of Daria Werbowy. It's a dress that you've got to wear at a big fashion event with minimal makeup, silver clutch bag and simple strap heel. It's not how you wear it, it's how you work the dress.

lucious sweets

I just can't stop starring at all the soft pastel colors of sea foam, lilac, sky blue, and turquoise from Michael Kors Spring Summer 2010 collection. It's nice to see a complete change of color palette from designers. I am in need of a great pair of trousers. Trousers that have an edge  that are slightly different that your norm, such as these water colored tie dyed pastels. Very refreshing and brings a positive energy that I love. I would wear these trousers with the same cashmere V neck sweater, nude/beige pointed shoes with a silver toe cap, and for sure a white box clutch to bring neutrality to the overall look.

serious business

Artistic Director for Salvatore Ferragamo, Massimiliano Giornetti is one of my favorite Italian fashion designers. He knows exactly what a chic tailored fashion-able man wants to wear and looks forward of wearing. Before, I wasn't a fan of orange but the right type of orange can make a strong statement such as this tailored orange blazer. A single button is more of my forte when it comes to a blazer, maybe two the max. This over all look is just a ravishing yet basic. From the cut to the accessory man bag and orange dress shoes, it just goes so right. Hopefully one day when I make it, I will definitely replicate this look.

loud and clear

I find this "I love Dior" perfume ad very dazzling and catchy. Love the shades of blue, the models expression, the blown hair, her stance, the denim corset dress with all the different pins, and the artistic spray painted background. I miss these type of ad campaigns during the early millennium.  Hopefully they will be making a comeback for this new decade.

sueded tone

I'm not really a big fan of suede but this light blue/lilac suede jacket does it for me. It's ulta sporty with a strong collar edge. Featured at the Trussardi Menswear Spring Summer 2010 collection. You can wear this with cut off jeans or white slacks. The beauty of fashion now is that things don't have to match color but more of, does it all flow together?

incise precision

Michael Kors is known for taking American classic sportswear and tweaking it to his own version. We also know that he is best known for his shift dressing. For this Spring Summer 2010, he takes the classic shift dress and did slashes of plastic vinyl to show some erogenous zone skin. I find this ultra modern and chic. It's a new take for a new decade. I just love this black number in particular since it's bold yet simple. Definitely a look to wear at a black tie or roaming the streets of Barcelona with a white box clutch. This is the look if you don't want to bare it all but keeping it still personal.

Momento Copertina

Six years ago, top model Daria Werbowy graced the cover of Italian Vogue of May in 2004. I find this cover to be very ravishing and exquisite. Even though it's airbrush, Daria's look all works right. From the olive skin tone to the animalistic wide eye stare to the big muffler hair and to the jeweled Alessandro Dell'Acqua blouse top. Daria's beauty is too marvellous that it's almost like a painting. Steven Meisel knows exactly what he wants in his version of a beauty shot. I realized that I just love a close face beauty shot on a magazine cover, especially in Italian Vogue. Don't get me wrong, I love a full length or half body shot but I personally think it's important to recognize the model's captivating beauty.
