In 2008, I wrote a blog post about the brilliance of Japanese designer Takashi Murakami which was picked up by Fabsugar as one if its must read of the day.  Two years later, the magnificent Murakami is making news again through his recent POP magazine cover featuring Britney Spears dressed as a Japanese Lolita. The cover obviously didn't escape the blogosphere's radar. In fact, wonder kid Tavi

Barcelona---When things become too stressful you go far, far away for refuge.  My source of calmness is the complete antithesis of a spa.  I needed the sounds of the cars, the whiff of stale carbon monoxide, the chaos of lights and the madness of people.  Balance madness with madness and you'll come with a neutral effect.  It is a science that has not been proven to be precise but for me,

The past two days marked the hottest temperature I have experienced in six years of living here on the Costa Sol.  Don't ask me how hot it was but it definitely crossed Sodom and Gomorrah Celsius to me. As we all know hot weather brings out the best and the worse in people---Summer romances,  unwanted pregnancies and weddings are celebrated more in this season.  Blame the sun, the sea and

All eyes are on Teresa Helbig's debut in this month's Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week.  Winner of Marie Claire's 2009 Best New Designer and Barcelona Es Moda 2009 award for Best Professional designer, we are betting that this lady could  possibly be  the next Amaya Arzuaga. Even I, am very excited with Teresa's debut, I am inspired to wear a white dress with a giant bow belt on the day of her show

Sunday night was Spain's version of the Oscars---The Goya Awards.  Giles, my editor for Hot Magazine was tweeting like crazy about the winners and although I was itching to see it, I don't have a Spanish telly unfortunately. Yup, ask me what's happening in Iran or the UK or Afghanistan and I can definitely tell you but ask me the weather forecast in Spain and I wouldn't have a clue. Thanks to

I started out clubbing when I was 19. Yup, I was a late bloomer in the whole clubbing scene. I was a straight A student and just out of the blue (a month before graduating from the university to be exact) I finally had the courage to discover what most of my classmates were busy with and why they come to class late, glassy eyed with their wrist stamped with unusual names and shapes. Little did

This weekend is the only time of the year when a man  actually makes an effort to touch the sensibilities of  his woman.  No, I am not talking about holloween, It's Valentines day, people!  If you are a man and you still haven't booked  a hotel for the weekend or you still haven't thought of a gift for her, you know you are in bad situation. I suggest you better act quick before it's too late.

This is a sad day for the whole fashion industry and perhaps the world. British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead at his London home on Thursday, his spokeswoman said. He was 40 years old. I don't know him personally but as a fan and an avid admirer of his brilliant works, I felt shattered when I learned the news, I can't help but to cry.  This time, I am no drama queen. It is a

While New York is being covered in snow, I am so glad that the rain has finally stopped today!  Seems like the coast would not be moaning for the lack of water come summertime.  Everything has been soaked, filled and the dams might probably be brimming/ overflowing enought to suffice the entire population for the next two years or so.  Yes, that's how heavy the rain was here on the Coast of the

Having flu is the most dreadful thing. You can’t do anything, your whole life flashes back right before your very eyes and before you know it, you are praying that you will still wake up the next day. Oh, the drama of being sick but yes, that’s how I spent the weekend-- Under the covers with my laptop on my chest, doing nothing but a movie marathon in between paracetamols, orange juice and

Walter Van Beirendronk´s F/W 10.11 is a crazy mixture of Disney, Tim Burton and a light take on big boy ammunitions. I love the bright solid colors which remind me a lot of Agatha Ruiz de la Prada (yes, of the infamous Bruno encounter) but of a tamer version. What did my heading with this collection are the giant hats the models had to painfully wear throughout the show. Weird , odd and

Eric Blasberg is one of our favorite fashion writers and we can't get enough of  his tweets either!  Approximately 11 hours ago, he twitted his lovely shot of Abbey Lee and Baptiste at Chanel's couture show in Paris. Although we can't see much the details of the wedding gown, I'm sure this is Uncle's Karl dream gown if and when he walks down that isle with the beautiful Baptiste.  (Well,why

A Brilliant idea comes unexpectedly and you should never let it go. It also comes in the most inappropriate places and situations sometimes. Whether I am in middle of lunch, coffee break, sleeping or worse, in a very intimate moment with someone, I had to stop the world and record the thought in my little black book---the moleskine. The moleskine was used for the past centuries by great artist

Working most of the Holiday Season until 5pm on New Year’s Day has taken its toll on me. Right now, all I want is to escape somewhere where the last thing I can see is a sight of a computer or a mobile phone. However, there are schedules to be met, targets to be reached and goals to be accomplished hence; it’s going to be September before I can experience some “me, myself and I” time. Positive

So V magazine's size issue is now out. Just when everybody's renewing their gym subscriptions and making a year long promise to lose at least 10 kilos after the holiday season, V came up with this fantastic idea to celebrate your shape, even if you are as big as Gabourey Sidibe.  Being a fatty myself (my ideal weight for my 7'5" structure is 65kg.

When I was 20, my ex-boyfriend had my handwriting read by a graphologist. He wanted to learn more about my personality so he went the extra mile to achieve it with a help of an expert.  It was the pre-Google era so obviously, there was no way he could Wikipedia or Bing my name nor my email address. From the reading, he found out that I am an  inconsistent person. I would have offered him that

How many times did you have to browse through online shopping sites, choose something just to find out that the item you want is out of stock?I am sure you have experienced this as much as I have. The first few instances I told myself, “wow, I´ve got really good taste, all the stocks that I want have been sold out”. After a while, I felt like I was bullied.
