'Marie Antionette' wins Oscar for Costume Design!

2007-03-29T06:47:00.000-07:00

Last month on Oscar Night I got all dressed up 'South Beach Style' and went to my friend Gene's Oscar party. Gene has fabulous parties but his Oscar parties are my favorite you can enjoy good food and great conversation. He adds a touch of competition when he hands you your Oscar ballot and you have to get down to business selecting who you think is going to win an Oscar. On my ballot I had a few misses and a few hits no real upsets I am happy to say. One of my hits was Marie Antionette for costume design. I truly enjoyed this movie. I visited Versailles a few years ago so it was a exciting for me to so see it all over again in the movie. Aside from the costumes in Marie Antoinette I LOVED the soundtrack. I was given the soundtrack as a gift and thought it would be fun to share one of my favorite songs 'Hong Kong Garden' by Siouxsie & The Banshees.

Happy Listening!
I'm outta here is gorgeous outside!

'Fendi' taking a Hit and Working it! Love the Spy!

2007-03-29T06:30:00.000-07:00

If you are a purse aficionado then you have spoken or thought about the Fendi Spy Bag at least 100 times. Personally, I can't get enough of these bags and I think Fendi knows it. I have seen the spy in every color and I must say the bag still takes my breath away. Everything about the Spy is delightful to me. The butter-soft lambskin, hidden coin purse, the reptilian like double woven leather top handles, and my personal favorite the zucca interior lining. Just thinking about this bag instantly puts me in a great mood.

If you ever want to buy a bag that is a classic, great to carry, and Rockstar all in one you cannot go wrong with anything FENDI especially if it's the Spy.

You can find this luxury via Saks $2080

Francesco Biasia 'Gypsy Rain' Hobo Bag

2007-03-28T19:17:00.000-07:00

I have seen this bag live and in color! The Francesco Biasia 'Gypsy Rain' is a chic leather hobo that is completely gorgeous. The color is a rich shade of burnt red-orange. If you are familiar with Balenciaga handbags the color 'Rouille' is what immediately came to mind when I saw this beauty. The leather on this hobo is soft and creamy. My second favorite feature on the 'Gypsy Rain' hobo is the polished silvertone hardware. If you happen to forget your compact mirror you can use the hardware on this bag to touch up your lipgloss. It's that polished!

This is a generous sized hobo at 10" H x 14" W x 6" D.

Great leather, Fantastic color, Gorgeous polished hardware. Check, Check, Check! This hobo has it all.

Check out 'Gypsy Rain' by Franceso Biasia via Macys for $375.

Rafael Cennamo Haute Couture Fall 2007 Funkshion

2007-03-27T02:40:00.000-07:00

The Fall 07'Funkshion Shows were fabulous. One of the main featured designers at Funkshion 2007 is Rafael Cennamo(chen-na-mo). Cennamo's 'Haute Couture' Fall/2007 collection is inspired by 50's Glam. Cennamo is known for his special occasion gowns. The gowns are made by him and the embellishments on the gowns are made by hand. The fabrics and colors Cennamo uses in his collections have heavy European influences. These influences are evident in his divine Haute Couture Fall 07' collection.
I enjoyed this collection. The colors used in the suits were chocolates and other soft dark earth tones. The dresses were divine they ranged from a gorgeous deep burgundy (my favorite) to golds. Wrist and elbow length black leather gloves were also part of the dress collections giving a sort of vixen edge to dresses and gowns that I have never seen before.
The designs of the dresses covered what I think every woman should have in her closet, soft and feminine to meet the parents to hardcore black with leather to meet the friends.

Cennamo designs for today's woman, sexy and sophisticated with edge and style.

Happy Tuesday!

Just Cavalli 'Bags Gone Wild'!

2007-03-21T12:01:00.000-07:00

Just Cavalli Lace Giraffe Shoulder Bag $605

Just Cavalli Lace Giraffe Print Hobo $430

I am a huge Just Cavalli fan. The tops are fantastic and the jeans are cool and edgy. However, I am deeply disappointed on the 'Just Cavalli' take on the current animal print on bags trend. I find both the Lace Giraffe print shoulder bag and hobo bag in this collection to be hideous. Thankfully, no giraffes were harmed in making these debacles as they are printed on canvas with grained leather trim. I must say, it seems like alot of thought went into designing these bags with features such as aged brass hardware, leather-trimmed Cavalli logo plate, contoured runching and buckled details on the sides. Even with the awesome design details on these bags, they still can't pass as beach bags. They are just way too scary.

I like the idea of giraffe print on an accessory. I believe that a little animal accent can add just the right touch to an ensemble. In the case of these two bags I am going to have to vote them off the island. Well, at least my island!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!

Wig Suggestions for Britney Spears!

2007-03-21T06:48:00.000-07:00

I am happy to see that Britney is out of rehab and sporting a new look. Her wig reminds me of the wigs used in the 'Atrevate' video by Calle 13. I love that video! I love Calle 13!
I also dicovered an entire 'Wig' world in cyberspace. I am sure we will be seeing Britney rockin' all kinds of wigs in the months to come.
