New Season Prada

I'm totally in love with new season Prada shoes. Yes, everyone knows that Prada is as comfortable as it gets and Spring-Summer designs are always prettier than Fall-Winters but Prada just took it to another level. The vibrant colors, the details of the designs are just what I want to be this summer. They are fun and sexy and pretty and alive. They made me miss sunny weather and walking on dry sidewalks. So I can say that I think this Summer my feet are only barely going to touch anything but Prada, for now at least.

Here are the two that I have acquired. They don't even summarize this season's designs but they're a good start. March is long, and there are shoes yet to be conquered.








Let us hope the weather gets better so we can wear our new season shoes sooner.
Sleep tight Europeans and Africans
Have a nice evening Americans
I think Asians and Oceanians about to wake up so good day

Back to Blogging and Oscar Madness

Hey people!

Craziness in education has been keeping me away from my beloved blog since forever, BUT now that I'm done with school - I mean, almost done - I can start from where I had left off.

As all of you know on the 27th we all sat in front of our televisions to watch the Oscars. I absolutely adored James Franco on stage, although they didn't have any sparks with Anne Hathaway, and was happy to see Colin Firth and Natalie Portman win. But what I wasn't too happy about was that there were a LOT of celebs missing, and by celebs I mean dresses. But since there's nothing I can do about it I'm going to go on and tell you all my favorite dresses from this year's Oscar night.

For my absolute favorite I'm going to go with Mila Kunis. Her lavender and obviously Elie Saab dress     just blew my mind. The harmony of the fabric and the lace and Mila's skin tone was just stunning.

 Jennifer Lawrence also looked very beautiful in a red Calvin Klein gown. The gown was kind of a safe choice but it flattered her body and her hair looked great with it.

Cate Blanchett's also lavender gown was a very daring choice, I must say, but she didn't overdo it and looked absolutely gorgeous in Givenchy. Her hair and her jewelry were just perfect.

Anne Hathaway's Valentino dress (the one she arrived with) was mind blowing. With the color, the details and her jewels she looked once again flawless.

And to finish up, I have to say that I just couldn't not add James Franco's Marilyn to my best dressed list.

Bardot Sex Appeal

We all want Brigitte Bardot's simple but extremely sexy style. Her hair, her make up, her clothes even the way she stands makes us want to be like her. I can't say anything about her personality-sex appeal secrets, but her style-sex appeal secret is ballet dancing. Her clothes and accessories are always inspired by ballet clothes; leotards, leggings and of course ballet flats... She has always avoided high heels and has only occasionally worn kitten heels. She is also the person we practically owe our bikinis to and god bless her for that.

Blouse by Marc Jacobs


Kitten heels by Jimmy Choo


Embellished dress by Azarro


Just accessorize with a few rings and a leather clutch without too much details. Use Chanel's new limited edition eye shadow Les 4 Ombres - Tentation Ciuvree to create day-smokey eyes and finish with mascara to accentuate your lashes. Put your oversized glasses on and you're good to go.

We love you Brigitte Bardot!

Nail Polish Madness

I had decided earlier that the nail polish color of this fall was going to be Chanel's Paradoxal for me. But recently Chanel has released 2 more limited edition nail polish colors, which is a temptation to buy them even if you don't like the color. I still think Paradoxal is the best but the new ones look great too. Gotta go see them for myself. Here are some pictures:
   

I know you can't really tell how they'll look on your hands from the bottle but I promise I'll upload photos as soon as I try them on my nails.


Thank you for visiting the blog!

Casual Street Chic


I just ran into one of my best friends a couple of minutes ago. She looked great in a long cardi-coat, jean style leggings and brown knee-high flat boots. She told me that she got the boots from Massimo Dutti, I have to check them out because those boots would be a great catch for cold winter weather.

sorry about the photo btw, I had to take it on my cell phone because I didn't have a camera with me.

Lace-Up Boots

Another thing I adore in Fall 2010 is the high healed lace-up boot. Lace-up boots are -in my opinion- the perfect shoes for fall. I haven't gotten the chance to go get myself a sky-high healed lace-up boot yet, but I have a few in mind that I am going to try on. The reason I'm loving these boots so much is that they are extremely stylish, bold but feminine, they can be worn with almost anything and they probably are the only high healed shoes that you can wear in rainy weather.
Elizabeth and James's platform lace-up platform boots, this one is extra comfortable because of the platform.

Lace-up ankle boots by Charlotte Russe. I love the military-look of this one.

Hope you like the boots.
