Laced and Pretty

 There is something about Chloe Sevigny. Very magnetic and also the least expected to be as huge a movie star as she is . Don't forget , her professional acting gig started with a low budget, documentary/ indie film, Kids.  ( Ah for the love of Indies, Mark Me a Connoisseur )Since then she's played Michelle William's lesbian lover in HBO's  If These Walls Could Talk. And more movies after that.

But, we are not here to talk about her movies, rather about this lace Proenza Schouler baby doll dress. We love it. It's unique without over reaching. I also adore the exposed black bra. sexy, sexy. Erm, but of course, she is the original spider woman as in Miss Sevigny, the Scorpio.

                              enjoy ;-)

If the fabulousity of these shoes briefly interrupted whatever you were doing, don't beat yourself up for it. It simply means you recognize quality when you see one. They are just too preshy, precious for words. These shoes make one helluva of a statement.  And that's what Italian Shoe Designer, Gianmarco Lorenzi has been dishing out for over 30 years.  Seductive glamour at its best.

You can totally wear a slinky and I mean super sexy , body gripping mini with this and rock these pretty babies. One love Lorenzi.

C for Chloe

What a beautiful bag! we love it.In addition to the ankle zipper jeans. The scene stealer has to be the Chloe Luxe bag.It is clearly illogical not to own one.

   Chloe Anna Bag

Chloe Tan lambskin "Anna" bag is made of rick lamb leather and it's attractiveness is enhanced by the oversize buckles. That along with it's adjustable shoulder strap. This is such a versatile bag. I prefer it in brown, happens to be one of  my favorite colors. If you don't own a chloe purse, it's time to get one. A price point of $200 is what you should anticipate. Be grateful, it is well worth it.

Does She Rock in This?

It's 2:31a.m and I am sitting in my hotel room in Las Vegas reviewing my blog and crossing every "T" and dotting every "I", I may've omitted, while my toddler sleeps. I love these weekend getaways. I happened to run across this Gwyneth Paltrow AWESOME style moment and decided to post it. This, in my humble opinion, is a Look Du Jour. It's very clean and consists of basic hues, browns, whites and black. I personally think Gwyneth is a style diva.

Adidas, A McCartney Interpretation

Never mind, Stella McCartney is currently pregnant with her 3rd child, she was born to design and that she does very well. She is no stranger to collaborating with other major fashion brands to spin her twist on a line. We have to tell ya, Stella is amazing at what she does and from this moment on, if Miss McCartney chooses to design a furniture line, a house, a phone, we will more than likely buy it because of her organic talent and beautiful vision.

Here it is folks, Adidas  by Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2010. It features yoga, running, golf, and tennis gear. One thing is for sure, keeping in shape does not have to be unfashionable and boring.

Fashionable work-out gear, Indeed! Great Work Stella.

Dinner At Valentino's

Italian Designer, Valentino Garavani held a fabulous dinner at his French Chateau in celebration of his Fall-Winter 2010/2011 line on July 8th. It was definitely a soiree many of us  will happily forfeit our morals to attend. It was packed with A-listers in likes of  Gwyneth Paltrow, Clare Danes , Jessica Alba and who's who in fashion editing.

Man of the Evening Valentino

Tier's the word. Brilliant!

Jean Paul Gaultier debuts La Perla

Remember Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour? Good, well, remember those coned bras Lady M rocked that I am pretty sure every girl wanted when she was all grown -up? Good. The Designer of the prestigious Cone Bra, Jean Paul Gaultier has teamed up with respected French Lingerie Fashion House , La Perla! . Now we can all play sexy , playful Madonna to our mates in the privacy of our respective bedrooms.

 La Perla by Jean Paul Gaultier

I remember the first time I learned about La Perla, I was visiting my sister at her home in Orange County,California. Damn. damn..the price tags on La Perla lingerie is enough to make you scream , "why?!" . They are expensive and for good reason. Elegantly made with a woman's self esteem in mind. We love this collaboration . Mark your calendar for November and watch your piggy bank in order to cop a La Perla lingerie designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. at a Jean Paul Gaultier or La Perla store. You will not regret it  and your partner won't either.Spice, ladies. spice.

Scarlett in a Mango Ad Spring/Summer 2010

Mango Fall/Winter 2010

Adding yet another season, another Mango Campaign Ad under her belt. Scarlett Johanssen has signed on to be the Mango Fall/Winter 2010 line  Spokesmodel . Mango is a Spanish label that understands the sensual relationship between a woman and her clothes. Muey Caliente!  Given just how lovely she did for the Spring/Summer 2010 Mango campaign ,the tink tanks at Mango are doing a great job .And this, is definitely up my alley. What's not to love about Mango, with a color palette celebrating whites, grays, rich reds and of course Scarlett, The Girl With the Pearl Earring as its Spokesmodel?  This is great collaboration. It's safe to say, Scarlett is doing an awesome given that  her predecessor was Penelope Cruz. Great job Ladies! This is an AWESOME line.

What We Heart About Mango 

                                                   ♥ The use of a ribbon as belts.

                                                   ♥ Use of  Grays, Reds, Navy,CAMEL,pinks

                                                   ♥ Love the Sleeveless Trench Coat dress.

 This Mango is so sweet.

AUDREY

{Angelina Jolie definitely favors her here}

 Audrey Hepburn in Valentino

 Italian Vogue May 2010 issue.

Audrey Hepburn is the epitome of grace. Her beauty radiates gentle femininity. Earth mother, some may call her. Movie Star turned Mother Theresa.She was a humanitarian. Onto the fabulous vintage threads she fabulously erected, yet again, the images of  a graceful socialite and for some, a royal.

Givenchy or Valentino? 

Happy 4th!

Polka Dot Afternoon

Rhianna pictured with personal assistant Melissa Forde in L.A. last week

I love this ensemble. It's fresh, it's happy and very feminine. Yes, even with the fedora hat.The strapless bustier top totally adds so much femme sexiness to the polka dot chiffon mini skirt. ooo lala!!!! And um, Melissa seems to be channeling an androgynous style mechanic. fashion for me is definitely about making bold choices and commanding a look in its entirety.

Lipsy Frill Polka Dot Top

Audrey Dot Bustier


Okay, so obviously it's time to go polka dot wild and place your personal stamp to your polka dot frenzy. She's a beauty.totally recommend adding a yellow flower to your hair when you rock this. 

If it is an ultra sexy afternoon? Especially for this weekend.  Then rock this

totally workable afternoon loveliness!
