My Gold Fetish

There's an absolute timeless elegance about gold.
Blame it on my fashionably narcissistic self. however,
If it is graceful, if it is bold without overreaching.
I am game.

Givenchy delivered a good dose of gold fever in this
omg.beauriful gold embellished gown.

  Tis' the season to be golden .

Tennis Star, Boris Becker & Lilly Kerssenberg after their civil nuptials

Segantini Museum, St. Moritz, Switzerland

The new Mrs. Boris Becker aka Lilly Kerssenberg pulled off a timeless wedding attire for her wedding to the six time Wimbledon champion, Boris Becker . A white three piece trouser suit cinched with a brown Hermes belt.  This is breathtakingly gorgeous. so chic. 

Makes one wonder what the double three piece suit really represents. That they both wear the pants? They are both strong components of this marriage?  Was Baby Amadeus  already in  transit?  Hmm. well, I love the three piece suit idee! I'll give it a shot.


In line with a Boris Becker tale-  Ex-Wife, Barbara Feltus , new Mrs Arne Quinze, the famous Conceptual Artist, looked quite magical at her nuptials, with Arne Quinze held at her beachfront Miami home. wow. .so Becker! I am totally crushin' it on Barbara's gypsy themed nuptials.

Oscar, With Love, Giambattista

It's Autumn, my time of year. Lately, I have a strong jones for gowns. Fitted gowns, strapless gowns, long sleeve , short sleeve gowns. Maybe I am just feeling the effects of the romantic Fall season. Oscar De La Renta is a fashion icon for very rightful raison!~

Came across these lovely designs on a rather rainy day in Seattle. These are extremely sexy. Remember to add a slip to the purple strapless design posted beneath. I love the multicolored bodice in addition  to the drama on the skirt of this awesome strapless mini.

Spoken For

Zac Posen's Z Spoke line was definitely the talk of the town . OMG! OMG! Was it the vibrant make-up or was his 80's influence Spring 2011 line that rocked? Let me tell ya, both! BOTH! Girls Wanna Fun  Zac, and you get it!  In the words of Solange Knowles, "I want the entire collection in my closet"  This is a gotta have it line. Now , if you are a shoe collector, you can cop the shoes worn by the models here from Steve Madden, he supplied the shoes. Let the viewing begin.  Lights, Camera, Action !

I can read your mind, Fashionistas, you want the whole collection as well. This is a brilliantly girly collection .

Von Furstenberg Inspires Once Again

This year's New York Fashion Week was definitely spectacular, to say the least. Electric is the more like it, with celebrities like Kanye West, Kimora Lee Simmons, Russell Simmons, etc tweeting their arses off on the beauty both in the city and the runways, if you weren't in NYC, you were on your way or like many clicking your heels , hoping you'd magically arrive smack dab in NYC to view the awesomeness designers had created  for its obedient citizens. Us.

                                                                We Capiche!

When you hear the name Diane Von Furstenberg, two things immediately come to mind, Wrap Dresses and Sophistication. She brought it again, ladies! and she went hard ! In fact, many fashion insiders were pleasantly surprised by the print influence in her Spring 2011 collection . Makes you wonder if her new creative director, Yvan Mispelaere had something do it with. Maybe, however, Von Furstenberg soley built the brand we know as DianeVon Furstenberg . We are sure she had much  influence in this collection.

It's All About Marchesa

I actually first heard of Marchesa , when Kim Kardashian rocked a Marchesa gown at this year's Emmy's. I basically made a mental note of Marchesa.  Fast forward to September 7th, 2010 and Marchesa is on the lips of all fashion conscious fashionistas. And this time, it was another actress ,as in, Gossip Girls Blake Lively in a darling cadmium yellow and sapphire fully beaded tribal strapless mini Marchesa dress.

I love Blake's interpretation of this mini . Anna Wintour summed it up best when she said ,

This is most definitely a  MakeUnaTellAm momenta!
