El nuevo Diesel

Algo ha estado cambiando favorablemente en Diesel. Me estoy volviendo más fan ultimamente. Todos crecimos con Diesel, una marca que los jóvenes méxicanos abrazaron fielmente. Y siempre estuvo ahí, pero desde el show que fué mi hit, he notado que Diesel viene con todo, en verdad se nota un crecimiento total en la marca, sin dejar ese aire entre grunge y boho tan característico de la marca. Incluso el website esta genial. Métete : http://www.diesel.com/

The Show and what a show it is!

My fellow fashion lovers - life has been so very, very mad busy i have not had five to take out the old camera but i promise Thursday lunch i am taking off and doing the outfit thing - had the fabbest time last night at a showcase for Christopher Kane, Roksanda and Jonathan Saunders - took my friends 17 year old daughter, Francesca, who has just started at fashion college - very special evening.

Ignoring myself (just for the moment of course ..) i found the most amazing blog today - i am a big fan of the streetstyle photographers - and this one is seriously fab http://theshow.ru/blog/

Just a little taster! well prob a long one - have a fab week xx

I do so love simplicity - this is perfect - i dont know that i am her but by god i would like to be

Stunning simple again - hello that jumper dress

The skirt, the shoes - she has really got it right

This is oh so me - have that shirt - would like that cardi - sales - oh heres to hoping

Gorgeous - the smile, the Hermes dress, the shoes - look at the inside of that heel - such attention to detail

What a truly fab blog - will def be back x

PS - for the rest of you whose Russian is not quite what it could be - click on the images - you get even more xx

El factor WOW!

Por ahí dicen que resulta muy factible usar piezas que asombren e impacten. Seguidas de un look sencillo y discreto. El efecto (llevado bien a cabo) es ir 100% a la segura.

Fashion and Franks Fave Fashionistas - Ece Sukan

Vogue Turkey's Editor at Large, vintage store owner, stylist and fashion phenomenon - Ece Sukan.  I guess when you own a vintage store it is no surprise that your style is eclectic, individual and head-turning - i find this lady so very inspiring xx

Now this is not somewhere i would normally go and yet it is perfect and that is why i opened with this shot because it opens my eye to something new that i love unexpectedly

Brights and black working perfectly

Again black and brights - which i dont do and now i think i may try

Personal fave - loving the leather vintage shirt and the Bette Lynch coat

Chain Mail tunic, over the knee boot - perfect with the grey and simple hair and makeup

Love this - i think i may be doing a Bette later this year - faux fur here i come

Its the brights and black again - i love orange and pink - great combo

Why do i love it - the bare legs - bare pale legs but they are exceedingly nice legs

Another chain mail tunic - love the brown ankle boots

I am so finding some fantastically printed silk fabric and recreating something just like this 80's liciousness - cue the gloves  xx

Mexico´s Next Top Model

Mexico´s Next Top Model Segunda Temporada llegó a su fin. Así tan largo como suena, así tan rápido que se fué. Y vaya que hay muchas opiniones en todos lados. A una semana del episodio final, sería de más escribir los puntos relevantes. Porque repito, es de más hablar sobre el episodio final. Con decir que hizo 3 Trending Topics en México (Creo que 4). Las diferencias de opiniones (Que raro!) no se hicieron esperar. Que si debió haber ganado Nikoll. Que si Tracy no era buena modelo. Que si no tiene el potencial para ser supermodelo. Creo que eso , sólo el tiempo lo dirá. Lo que me viene a la menta es una plática que tuve con Óscar Madrazo, en la que me comentaba que la nueva ola de grandes modelos son con rasgos icónicos, facciones menos marcadas y rostros moldeables. Oséase, como Tracy. Y ya que menciono a Óscar, creo que esta edición se lució, fué mi favorito. 

Punto a notar fué el acercamiento con la industria de la moda en México, personas a quien vimos en los distintos capítulos como fotógrafos, estilistas y expertos en moda de nuestro país. Y por fin, el cierre con Tyra. ¡Que cierre! Es una tipaza por lo visto. Me hice su fan. 

Y así Tyra, su outfit Gucci (que todos notaron), Elsa, Óscar y los jueces, terminaron una edición más de #MNTM. Punto más para México y punto más para la industria de moda...en México.

Matches puts the Spring back into Fashion

On Wednesday i had the utter pleasure of a visit to the Matches Press Day previewing Summer 2012, and what a pleasure it was.  The colour, the pattern, the sheer and utter joy of the collection really had this fashion lover smiling.  Matches have a new Fashion Director, Natalie Kingham and a fab new Spy Buyer, Suzanne Pendlebury, and the collection is just very much more, how to put it, 'fashion' and i for one love it.  Still wearable, still Matches but just with a touch more, that little fall in love 'specialness'.. those pieces that just make the heart beat just a little faster. And that has me dreaming and dare i say it reaching into the old budget and prioritising.

JW Anderson, Opening Ceremony, Pierre Hardy, Sophie Theallet all new, all fabulous - not to mention Herself silk scarves, herself, myself - i am taking the trip back next week to snap up one of these pieces of fabulousness.  The fine jewellery was exquisite - i particularly loved a black diamond Diane Kordas square ring which kept me awake well past my bedtime last night.  

It was such a pleasure and so very exciting - i am the very greatest fan of Fall fashion but i almost (very nearly almost) felt like skipping winter and slipping right into a bright, fashion filled Spring xx

*******

Firstly let me start this little preview by apologising to all the very talented, wonderful photographers - i am no Bailey - but i think the clothes have managed to transcend my cinematic inadequacies ....

*******

The all year round holiday shop - feel like jetting off - who wouldn't??

You know i love all the colour, love and adore it but then there is that totally and utterly little perfect, beachy, holiday dress and here it is 

******

My summer i love you and will love you forever dress - say hello 

(say hello say i love you - oh dear, oh dear - i have done it again)

*****

Summer sophisticated perfection in all its longevity, loveliness and ability to make me smile, feel so very special and put a spring in my step

And in the foreground my beloved Herself scarves

Fabulous evening - fabulous company and fabulous fashion - not bad for a Wednesday

Special Thanks to Natalie and Catherine xx
