an unveiling masculinity

Loris Diran first menswear collection for Spring Summer 2010 was a delightful presentation. It was classic American sportswear with his own personal flair. Neutral tones mix with bright colors and patterns of classic pieces is what his Spring Summer collection was all about. I just knew I was a fan already. This light overcoat pattern print with matching belt tie, slightly loose white trousers, & crisp white collar that just made this look sophisticated with ease.

the new generation

Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Karlie Kloss is one of the top models in the fashion industry. Just recently graced the cover of Vogue Italia by Steven Meisel and Vogue Paris declared her one of the top 30 models of the 2000's. This 17 year old ballet dancer has the innocent doll like face with a modest personality. With her signature sway motion walk and stoned death stare, no wonder she is the muse for many fashion designers and photographers with her natural calm beauty and piercing stare.

classic games

Nicolas Hoult plays Kenny in the greatest hit film: A Single Man directed by Tom Ford shown here wearing this gorgeous thick cashmere wool sweater in ivory. What I find so special about this sweater is that the crew neck has a slightly wider open length and width that wearing a collar shirt underneath, it gives contrast and more of a vintage classic feel. As soon as I saw the movie, I was just obsessed with this sweater that I knew I had to have one for myself, though it maybe hard to find one since it's an original style.

perpetual outlook

One of my favorite Prada ad campaigns was the Spring Summer 2003 featured model Elise Crombez. It had a 1960's mod vibe with the whole Penelope Tree black drawn eye makeup and very nude lip. I just love the easy going style of the metal handle handbag, boy brief shorts, & turtleneck sweater. You really feel like this photograph was taken back during the actual mod days of fashion. Photographed by the notorious Steven Meisel. Just another classic Prada ad archive.

eccentric behavior

The perfect look if I had my own private Jet going to Sydney, Australia would definitely be this pure white number of a sports jacket, utility trousers with pockets detailing, & heather gray cashmere sweater underneath it. Featured at the Michael Kors Spring Summer 2010 collection. Structured clothes with a lot of comfort and delicious easy fabrics. This look can be worn from day to night and not looking over the top nor to casual. It's about putting together the familiar with the unfamiliar and together combined you get the best of both.

Fearless Persona

Stunningly chic, Jessica Miller has an undeniable classic beauty that you got to have another glance at her. She was featured on the cover of Italian Vogue Feb '03 taken here by Steven Meisel wearing a lilac satin silk dress with the first look of the Murakami handbags, all by Louis Vuitton. I am just captivated by Jessica's natural yet refreshing beauty. The makeup has a fanciful motif with the fury eyebrows, light magenta high blush cheeks, matte skin, and a very nude lip. An introductory to the "spring look".

TUNE IN!

celestial power

Subtle sexy is my number key when it comes to dressing. I love it when a woman can show some skin but keeps a mystery for everyone wanting more. This Sleeveless translucent white chiffon button down dress with a skinny teal belt with bright color mum flowers reveals this upcoming spring summer for Rochas by Marco Zanini. The underneath printed dark bra is what makes this look sensual but not exaggerated. A look that I know for sure I would wear if I were a cute young girl walking on a sunny day at the french Riviera beach.

breaking boundaries

I instantly fell in love with this Prada ad campaign for Spring Summer 2001. It's like a private beach for young people that don't necessarily dress in beach wear but decides to still wear their day clothes and still get a tan. I love the minimal style of the full skirts, button down polos, short shorts, & long sleeve mid riffs gave this beach a new level of a "breath of fresh air" feel. The floral print that came in black and white was the ideal theme for the Prada spring summer season. With the right punch of bright colors of orange, yellow, & red made these ads stand out. Now I want to buy at least one Prada item from these ads that can go with any of my clothes.

with an accent

Ever thought about, "How can I add a special touch to a look without over doing it?" I say adding a flower pin can never go wrong with any look. Whether it's a sequin white one shown here at the Chanel Spring Summer 2006 collection or fabrication flowers such as a organza would definitely would work too. They  add a festive yet romantic side to any look. Depending on your style, you can use a oversize to a tiny flower pin depending on your liking. I personally love an oversize flower pin since it really makes that statement. Remember, if your wearing a dark solid blouse top or dress then go with a flower that is a light color to compliment the overall look and vise versa.

architectural piece

When you think of urban style, you think constructive and balanced. This Michael Kors box shoulder bag or clutch is one of the key pieces to have in your wardrobe for this coming spring summer 2010. Solid shape of a rectangular box in colors of: white, silver, black, & nude with silver metal detailing on sides and hardware with a adjustable strap to suit your style. A ultra chic accessory bag to hold your personal needs that can go with any day look.

lady of the house

50's with minimal 80's flair is what Miuccia was thinking for her Spring Summer 2001 Prada collection. Navy blue cashmere turtleneck sweater, chunky orange horizontal pinstripe jersey fitted pencil skirt, and cat eye sunglasses is a new version of a housewife in the 21st century. I like the cleanliness and semi mod sensuality of this look put together. This feminine sexuality is exactly my definition of, "you can still be sexy, even covered up and showing little skin." A look to wear with the girlfriends at a casual dinner party without looking overly dressed up but still sufficient.

sensual dressing

I just love the new modern version of a tie dye which now a days consist only one shade of color compared before to  a multiple shades. This pastel green tie dye on a white long sleeve jersey short dress featured at the Celine Spring Summer 2000 collection by Michael Kors. It's one of those comfortable jersey dressing yet has a sex appeal without trying. This would look opulent with a slip on stiletto high heel with a luxurious orange Heremes Birkin bag. Keeping this look simple and clean with no accessories.

hint of shine

It's about having a hint of shine on the feet. Michael Kors Spring Summer 2010 was about shine, architectural, & urban city. These super chic silver toe cap sling back in nude leather are a must have for this coming spring season. Best to wear with a full skirt solid pastel color with white fitted collar shirt or white fitted short trousers and cashmere crew neck sweater. It's about minimalist style with a sharper tone.

Loungy Casual

One of Chloe's signature pieces is always a wonderful styled cape coat that can  be worn with any casual day look. This semi rustic light sage linen cape coat with buckle tie and button down is a new take of a cape coat. Ultra sporty with a less harder edge. I love the underneath outfit of the high waisted loose shorts with the oversize two front pockets that just gives it a humor side. A relaxing outfit to wear on a less cold yet warm day to just feel at ease.
