"Best Dressed" Photoshop Fun :)

In July I went to my 1st movie premiere. My friend Suren produced a re-make of a Broadway show called the "Forever Plaid". It was truly a great production and I was soo proud to sit in the audience thinking" "My friend did this ! YaY for him!"

Movie premiere and special celebration of Suren Seron, also called for a new special outfit. So I searched long and far and ended up finding a BCBG Runway collection dress. It reminded me of something Megan Fox would wear, but it was 100% MAGS. After the show however, I realized that my dress was pretty famous and decided to have some Photoshop fun! :)


So all in the name of fun and my fellow ladies looked AMAZING as well... but I bet you no one paid $130.00 for this dress retailed @ $360.00. What can I say - I girl knows how to find a good bargain :)

Charlize Theron Designs for TOMS

"Charlize Theron has teamed up with Toms shoes on a charitable limited-edition shoe for the holidays. Inspired by the African baobab tree, the proceeds from the orange or dark blue vegan canvas slip-on will benefit the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project.

"I'm thrilled to have Toms Shoes as a partner," Theron said. "It's exciting that we're able to come together in such a cool and creative way to bring attention to the needs of many South African Youth."

The $54 charitable shoes are available now at tomsshoes.com." ~ InStyle.com

Actually, the shoe is sold out because I really wanted one and checked few days ago. However, you can leave your name and e-mail and the will notify you once it arrives again. ** I am happy to see TOMs do big things :)**

Also, since we are on the theme of TOMs, they have his special Travel task for all their fans where you take a picture of TOMS flag or TOMs wherever you travel. I have some pics from this year, since I didn't know about the contest I didn't try to hard. Here are some that made the cut of TOP 10 of the year...and my fave TOP 2

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!!

FYI ! If you haven't noticed A LOT of renovations were made to the page. I have about 20 more blogs from the past (mostly Music ones) that will be posted with videos and pictures for your viewing and reading pleasure. It takes a while to make things pretty :)

STAY TUNED!!!

Fashion alla Suren Seron

In August I was lucky to be invited to my 1st, real fashion show. The designer, Jared Gold, is friend of my buddy Suren who helped film this amazing and very low budget fashion show. What do I exactly consider a real fashion show?? ... well it's not thrown at some random club that goes on while everyone is getting wasted. A real fashion show gives you goosebumps, inspires you and in a weird way, if you're me - it gives you a real high.

Jared Gold is definitely avanat garde and very artistic. He's not a mainstream fashion designer and realistically, not everyone would wear his stuff, even in LA. I loved his collection. It reminded me of few of my favorite spanish designers with its abundance of colors, funky fabric combinations and images on garments (check out Custo Barcelona or Desigual to see what I am talking about). Here are few images from the show:

Also, enjoy a preview of what I saw that night along side Kellan Lutz, Billy Corgan and my date~my buddy Karl ~ in the video below:

Spring 2010 Accessories That Make A Statement ~ affordability questionable ;)

After every Fashion Week in each major Fashion Capital I spend majority of the day at my "day job" researching style.com for the "IT" trends of the season. This year as I glanced through photographs of the Spring preview, I was focussing on accessories and decided to create and editorial about the ones that would permanently warm a spot in my closet, that is if money wasn't an issue.

There is no cohesion in my selection which only stays true to my eclectic fashion style but from left to right is a list of my Top Accessories from Spring Collection 2010.

1) Chanel Wheat brooch
2) Marni leather clutch
3) Tom Binns Bitten Heart brooch
4) Tory Burch Maggie bracelet
5) YSL Rose Red Sandal (Oh La La Sexy)
6) Delfina Delettrez Palm Bracelet
7) Giambattista Valli Red Crock Heels
8) Proenza Schouler futuristic bracelet
9) Manolo "French Mademoiselle" Shoes
10) Jimmy Choo Fringe BoHo clutch

Almost Famous BUT definitely Stylin'

Many of you, just like me, may have fallen in love with Kate Hudson as Penny Lane in one of the best movies of this decade, Almost Famous. Although, later in her career Kate never again played a role so epic, focusing mostly on staring in numerous romantic comedies, her style remained memorable.

I can view fashion from different angles and appreciate & give credit to many statements that I would never take part in. However,I tend to favor fashionistas who share a style similar to mine. In this case, Kate and I may as well be one person. I not only love her every day Boho chic statements, but also adore all of her red carpet looks - having several favorites throughout the years.

I composed a collage of all of Kate's epic red carpet fashion statements with 4 of my favorite in the middle. The 1st, one of course, being the champaign Versace gown which I plan to steal one day from her and get married in :). The 2nd one being the Valentino "hippie" dress - only one I could ever see myself wear to my 1st red carpet outing (Sorry Kate - you must hand it over!)

Stylin' Soles in NOLA

It seems like just yesterday I was raving bout being selected as a volunteer for TOM's Shoe Drop in NOLA. (30 selected out of 5,000 who applied-YIKES! Big deal!) As may of you may know, TOMs is a brand I hold very dear to my heart. As a lover of fashion, travel and humanity TOMs mission simply ties all of my passions together into one and helps kids in different countries to have shoes on their feet.



My NOLA experience was amazing! I met a lot of great people including Blake and his mom, I fell in love with New Orleans, I participated in TOMs 1st fashion related national drop, and we gave TOMs a lot of exposure by finally having the brand appear on Good Morning America (clip posted below). Most of all, however, my life was touched by many little people who I had the pleasure to design shoes with. These kids by far were nothing like the kids that TOMs helps in Argentina or Africa. They had homes and shoes and most of their families were in much better place now than right after Katrina. But you cannot judge levels of need. The kids we met went through one of the most traumatic events of our decade and deserved to have a little fun and happiness in their life. As an adult looking in, its funny how much you can learn about life from kids, their stores and their life experiences. It was something I wish for everyone to participate in.
