ooh la la... Marchesa

I spotted this fun little number on Lea Michele in Glamour magazine this month (in the Glee spread beginning on pg. 226) and FELL IN LOVE! Ahhh...the embellished corset and heaps of feathers make it truly lustworthy. If anyone would like to gift it to me, it's a STEAL on netaporter.com for a mere $6,600. ;)

PS-perhaps this is a sign: My size isn't even available.

law school ball aka PROM

Another recent event, I haven't really blogged in a while since we had Novio's brother visiting for 2 semanas. So I am posting these better late than neverrrr...

so fun to get all dolled up!!!

Several Months Away...

BUT we have our Halloween costume:

My Tutu Dress!

Aqui is the dress that Novio begged I take and wear out of town (porque no le gustas--says yo sembro como una ninita)... I LOVE it and he may just have to deal porque looking back me gusta even more. Its a very fun dress y perfecto para jumping around y bailando....

Hunting for Inspiration

Thank goodness style.com has buscar filters! This took long enough WITH I can't imagine without! OH, and I am searching for a black-tie optional dress! I'd like to avoid black....but I really love that deep vneck... ;). Hopefully I come across something in the next mesa with a reasonable $$!

Film Fashion: Marie Antoinette

Ok, truth be told--I never saw it. BUT I love that she had a pug. And the last photo, so decadent with the bottle of champagne on the nightstand. Plus, I really loved the soundtrack....probably wouldn't hurt to rent it...

Fitzgerald Lives!

Ok, so for those who know me, it's no secret that my favorite libro is The Beautiful and Damned by Fitzgerald. Anthony and Gloria are such amazing characters, so consumed by their own vanity to ever truly be feliz. And, no matter how awful they are at times, you still root for them--te quieres them to realize the err of their narcissistic ways and find meaning. Hate to spoil it for you, but none of this happens. They are some selfish bastardos! ALas, Fitzgerald writes beautifully and because of Gloria's conveyed style I have been perusing the internet for flapper pics. All the big fashion houses (Chanel, Balmain, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Halston) have used flappers/prohibition/roaring 20s as inspiration at some point. I am sensing my next Halloween costume...

Pirouettes and Plies

Am I the only one who absolutely adores tulle?! I came home tonight with una vestida that basically has a tutu for the skirt... needless to say novio is not a fan. But I love how girly tulle is, like a ballerina, yet also very playful. Granted, it's not something that will age with you gracefully so I say, while in your twenties, let them wear tulle!

Loveee MK

Ok so these are like.......super last season. BUT they make me miss summer, dressing up, and having a tan. I know, I know, I live in Miami....but its actually been a little chilly here lately. And despite the fact that I am getting older at an alarming rate, these are all very mature looks....so, yeah, maybe in 5 yrs or so I could dress like this and not feel like the blue dress needs to be shortened 4 inches....!

I Love LSD!

....get your mind out of the gutter! LSD stands for Lauren Santo Domingo...I am desperate for her to do some more photoshoots! Her photos in this spread are so great, and she really is so out of the box--rather than be the typical, boring Upper East Side snoot, she's an artsy and contemporary city gal who smokes cigs and frequents South America with her Colombian bilionare husband. And she writes for Vogue. Nothing about her is normal (or fair!)

I love these in particular because I am a full-on supporter of oversized gold jewelry and tousled blonde hair :)

Lanvin

I LOOOOVE this Lanvin dress from the Spring/Summer 2010 runway show. Also, what is so great in the styling is the HAIR! I love the hair, all big and thick and plopped down square on top of the model's heads. How fun!

Of course there are other great looks from the show, but mostly on brunettes, plus I love the shade of this emeradly-green contrasting with bright white blonde hair. And her skinny little legs! Ah, jealousy.

Y......

Last week, I also had the pleasure of seeing Innerpartysystem and Saosin live in concert. I love seeing these guys. I had the chance to meet them many moons ago when I was in college and have been smitten ever since.



They put on a great show, of course, but my friend Kate and I had just as much fun after the show playing dress up....meoooow
