So I went on a fantasy shopping spree. Yes, fantasy, not only because it would be a more than $3,000 OUTFIT but because this kind of merchandise, or any for that matter, wouldn’t make it through the mail :S.. how sad right?!? Anyways, I’m feeling very tropico and rrrrrumba which made me think of ruffles and a rainbow color mix. I feel these garments match my mood! Bright combinations and big contrasts!!!! And if you are wondering where the tights and coats are, well let me tell you the tinny tropical country is always waaarm!





Today, thanks to a picture I took at the beginning of summer, I realized I’m being hunted by the same group of colors because I’ve been unconsciously picking the same tones for inspiration but in different presentation and I just realized it!... I'm loving that minty color by the way!....This is the picture I like the most, some of the buttons that caught up my attention out of 2 bottles PACKED of old, new, plastic, metal, wooden buttons.. you do the math of the time I spent picking them out...
For those of you who can’t picture shopping in El Salvador I’ll try to explain it to you realistically in few word: Its the W-O-R-S-T! and not because “yuck! other people are going to be wearing the same things as I am, and since it’s a small city, we’re going run into each other out there in the street so I’m going to go shopping abroad” but because the only immediate and descent option to satisfy a shopping craving on this side of the pond is Zara, which by the way is not completely the same as Europe. The rest?? is HORRIBLE!!!! HIDEOUS! I mean really! Me, a person who doesn’t care about brands but colors, shapes, styles and just options to mix and match the only thing I found in the middle of this… boring jungle was a little black dress!!!!!!!!!!!! PICTURE MY SITUATION PLEASE!!!... Houston, we have a problem…but I’m on it, if you know what I mean, so I’m not freaking out… but this is what I found: a chiffon black dress, a classic I said to myself, but it was just too long and just too boring to wear it by itself so what better way to improve the look than to add up a bold belt… so here is the result… While I was living in Spain my sister introduced me to these amazing basic/casual shoes that come in the complete rainbow color range, definitely the new Converse but in 9 euros. The brand is Victoria, they have made the crossover from the granny crowd to the young and hip crowd, they are the Keds of Spain.
Now that I’m on the other side of the pond, few or better said almost no one wears this kind of shoe!!!! But what is my surprise today?!?!?! Walking down a mall I rarely go to, I see this bran that was really popular while I was younger: CHIC by Velinda! is the Salvadorian and 5 DOLAR version of the Victoria AND Keds!!!!!!!!! I saw them I got them because I didn’t have the all black version.
For me they’re like the little black dress in a casual/Sunday outfit way! So here are the shoes and the looks they would go perfect with.
I would chose to be Giovanna Battaglia for obvious reasons!...not only she has an outstanding, elegant yet trendy sense of fashion in her daily life as a fashion editor of L’Uomo Vogue but she also has an amazing photo styling gift! I mean, Who wouldn’t want to be her??
For you all who love fashion and have no idea who the hell is this stylish woman, you should now finish reading this post, feel ashamed aaand google her ASAP!!!
P.S: Click on the images so you can see more in detail the reasons why I would be her
I would not only be drooling for these amazing treasures but I would also make sure to mark November 14th on my forehead so my feet would feel pampered this winter!!! One of the shoe Gods, Jimmy Choo, is set to work with H&M this season… how lucky are all those people who have H&M in their countries?...or better yet I would say people who work at H&M are even luckier to rule those people’s world! .. once again chapeau to H&M strategy.. It just gets better and better!
I would definitely make sure to keep them on Michael Angel, amazing aussie designer who recently launched his on-line shop and is set to open the spring/summer ‘10 womenswear collections at New York Fashion Week… what an honor! I’m pretty sure he’s going to create some juicy things to talk about…
These are some of his fall 09 pieces… strong, fresh and funky… they all reminded me of the amazing aurora boreali
