FIFA FASHION ... Who are you wearing?

(90 days ) (13 hours) (55 minutes) (12 seconds)..... To the biggest event of this year - FIFA South Africa! Do you know who YOU are wearing?

The answer is simple for me. Although I'm very patriotic and I love my country, Poland... isn't the best at much. And I say that with love. We didn't even make the finals this time around. It is also no secret to anyone that I have, I do and always will root for FORZA ITALIA!

So... That's it! I'm wearing Puma. I'm supporting Italy and I just Pre-Ordered my KICK @ss, SX (YES- Girl sizes available) Italia jersey.

Get on the band wagon... World cup will be here before you know it. And me..... well, I will be watching it in Europe. Feel free to hate me :)

LaLaLa....etitia!!!!! Oui Oui!


Today I had the unfortunate experience of having to watch the new season of TOP MODEL. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate ALL reality TV. Intervention is the best show ever, actually. But, I do hate shows that degrade fashion as a form of art. and TOP Model does that so flawlessly.

I don't care to know the models, their lives, and the fact that in reality they may be dumb as hell. I want them to sell me clothes, sell me their personality on a runway. I want them to become what they wear. TOP MODEL definitely takes all the mystery out of modeling... and makes it look like a talentless craft for bimbos in most cases.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MODELING?!?

Well... just as I was loosing hope and seeing the fashion industry crumble, I saw and article from Paris Fashion week where one of my all time favorite models, Laetitia Casta, hopped back into the game at age 31 to walk the runway for Louis Vuitton.

Although, the French beauty has been MIA, she looked flawless :) Check out the pictures!

So the moral is, real models are ageless and flawless and their success doesn't "expire" with age.... what has the last, 20 year old winner of TOP MODEL done lately? Huh?

Laetitia @ age 21.. she has not changed!

Stylin' Irish (Yea.. just like the Fightin' Irish...I did mean to do that)

Every March, although I'm 100% Polish, I like to dress in green to to celebrate every Irish person's favorite Holiday (Irish American that is) - ST. Patty's Day. So what's a stylish girl to war on an occasion like this one... well take you pick! From basics to bling to, splurges, there is an abundance of green in todays fashion world! Here are my pics for this year :)


Erin Go Bragh! Now go have a Guinness in style!

Vanity Coupling

It seems like the Vanity Fair Oscar party was the ONLY place where fashion was worthy of a praise. I just mentioned some of the ladies and some of my favorite post-Oscar party gowns. It is now only fair to give a shout out to the HOT fashion couples.

On my Best Dressed list you will see the following:
* Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens in a sexy, black, sequin Jenny Packham dress
* Josh Jackson and Diane Kruger in a Calvin Klein
* Hottie Stephen Moyer and fiance Anna Paquin in a shot but sweet black piece by Roland Mouret
AND FINALLY
* My favorite Ice-Skater Evan Lysacek and his leading lady of design Vera Wang --> She designed his Olympic costumes =)

I guess Oscar day wasn't a total disaster!

The Men of the Oscars Save the Day!

I live for fashion and let's face it, Oscars (and sales) are like my Christmas....which is why yesterday when NO ONE WOWed me on the red carpet, for the 1st time EVER... was as if someone told me that Santa Clause isn't real.

So what's a fashionista to do? Well, I guess looking out of the box for the 1st time would be a good place to start and in this case, if all dresses fail, look to the men. And WOWed me they did. From Fashion GOD himself, Tom Ford, looking like a Hot Tamale to, Jake, Bradley, Chris and Ryan. The boys in black saved the Oscar Red Carpet glory.

I guess these hotties are not only great eye-candy ... they also step up to the fashion plate when needed.

Good job boys!

DRUMROLL !!!!!!!!!

March 7th!!!!!!!!!

That is the official date that the Jean Paul Gaultier collection hits select Target stores.

So what are we to expect from this French genius? We'll as you will see below, anything from tattoo printed dresses and bottoms, to stripped tops and 50s style dresses that can be topped with edgy, leather jackets.

I don't now about you, but I started the count down about a month ago! 3 days to go.... And Zac Posen (AHH !!!!) is NEXT.

I will report my buys and the quality of the collection after the weekend.





Just sharing some cool stuff....

So few weeks ago (YES- weeks .... it takes a while for me to post a blog entry), I found this awesome article on current.com. I would love to share it but link seems to be broken these days. SO anyways, it was a gallery of old personal and those not so personal celebrity pictures featuring anyone form Madonna to Dali... It was all these amazing people in the most random moments of their life capturd on 35mm film and scanned into the computer. Priceless! Before the link decided to crash, i was lucky enough to copy some of my favorites on to my desktop. Here they are - people that at some point in my life influenced in in big and small ways :) Can you guess them all?

Best photography I've seen in a while. Enjoy!
