The collection is inspired by all things Art Nouveau with a Grunge twist to it, creating a contrast between edge and roughness, and organic and soft.<br />
More to follow!<br />

This time, I went for a haircut that I have been coveting for a while but was too scared or too influenced by other people's opinions about it.<br />
It is the "Piecey Pixie" - boy short in the nape of the neck, with layers coming from the back of the head towards the front - IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.<br />
I am SO happy I did it!<br />
Thanks to the Creative Director of Vidal Sassoon at the Miami Beach branch, I have people stopping me on the streets to ask me where I got my hair cut. (Pascal, you are a genius!)<br />
The new style, not only got me rid of hours of blow drying (my hair wasn't in its best shape due to too much colouring), but it instantly gave me a fresher, younger and more stylish allure. Not to mention the amazing drop earrings I am gonna parade, together with very subtle and suave make up.<br />
I also have to confess that the urge of getting it chopped came from seeing so many all-around-beautiful women wearing something similar, so here a few of inspirational pics:<br />

Men and women will be stunned by Moet & Chandon new advertising campaign, after all it is too much beauty and luxury and desire, all wrapped up together.<br />
<br />
The new spokesperson for the house of Moet & Chandon, is the first actress ever to endorse the classic brand, the bombshell and fashion muse for many designers, Scarlett Johansson.<br />
<br />
In absolutely beautiful shots taken by the famous photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Scarlett is at the peak of her breathtaking beauty, turning one of the most desired bubblies, into an even more covetable and status positioning brands.<br />
<br />
It definitely works, because I think I need a drink.<br />

If for you, Fashion is more then mixing clashing and "conceptual" garments, sporting a ridiculously outrageous hair, picking some weird looking sunnies and calling yourself a blogger, you should definitely keep your eyes open for the work of <b><i>Cate Parr</i></b>.<br />
The British artist/designer is a pro in Fashion Illustration and absolutely masters the extremely difficult art of watercolor, depicting with brilliant accuracy and splendid softness what real sensibility and talent are all about.<br />
Here are a few examples of her work, for more log into her website <a href="http://www.cateparr.com/">HERE</a>.<br />

<br />
And now, as you are a mature woman ready to take one of the most important steps in the history of your life, we think it is time to tell you the truth: there is no such thing as heavenly beauty without maintenance and the help of products, lots of them!<br />
<br />
Sleepless nights worrying about life changing issues such as seating charts and floral arrangements can turn into real nightmares and when you catch your breath to look at yourself in the mirror, you see nothing but large pores, dark circles around your eyes and dull, lifeless skin. Not to panic!<br />
<br />
As there is no way of avoiding all the running around and hard work that comes with getting hitched, we put together here a few little life savers that will surely, if not treat, conceal (why not?) the stress marks that sorting out your Big Day brings and will make you look like you just came back from vacation, looking relaxed and gorgeous!<br />

<br />
One of the masters of contemporary bridal wear, Elie Saab (<a href="http://www.eliesaab.com/">click HERE for the entire collections</a>) is a pioneer in mixing intricate beading and luxurious laces to silk and tulle, creating goddess-like styles, worthy of Veronica Lake.<br />
<br />
Definitely more suitable for evening parties, this style fits perfectly with either large or smaller, more intimate events and are also a comfortable option for the bride that plans to dance the night away, once the bias cut that enables that shape requires less seaming and corseting to hug the figure in a precise and sensuous way.<br />
<br />
Leave it to the beading and embroidery treatments, to give your dress a more festive and glamourous feel or keep it clean and simple for more of a petit comitée type of celebration.<br />
<br />
Below, a few breathtaking ideas:<br />

The Missoni line made exclusively for Target was so brilliant that it was a fiasco. That is exactly it.<br />
Massive lines at the shops, glitchy, non functioning websites and virtual stores, and a lot of angry customers are a few of the known repercussions of the not so well planned engagement.<br />
Apparently, the manufacturers were not prepared for such a high demand and couldn't even deal in an organised way with the hungry fashionistas that looked very much forward to a steal - stores were a hot mess, no sizes of anything, screaming ladies fighting for one last knitted scarf, and a lot to learn from moguls such as H&M and C&A, that bank a considerable share of their profits with co-signed lines with major designers....<br />
Let's hope for a more thought of endeavour to come, after all, we all love the chic bargain.<br />

The Aurora Borealis <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">is the natural light display in the sky, particularly in the high latitude regions, (Artic and Antartic) caused by the collision of charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere).</span></span><br />

It is amazing what lighting can do to your house/flat! (not mention what candlelight does to your face on a romantic dinner...)<br />

On many glossies' August issue covers and all over the racks on stores, be it high street or designer, the graphic, idyllic, and very girly motif is eye catching and sure to captivate many adepts for the months to come.<br />
Wear it as a twist of the polka-dot, mixing it with stripes or lace and, if you dare, even add it to your make up and SHINE!<br />

<br />
Surprising? Not at all. But sad. Very, very sad.<br />
<br />
The woman not only sang like the big names in music history such as Aretha and Billie, but also made an imprint in Fashion with her unique style - the huge fake beehive, the thick cat-eyed black liner and the sailor tattoos, so much it was actually iconic.<br />
<br />
In all tabloids she was always portrayed looking horrible, tired, drunk and off, so I wanted to post a few pictures of how I will remember the biggest diva of our time.<br />
<br />
Poor Amy. So much talent in such a fragile flask.... Thank you so much for being responsible for the soundtrack of very happy moments. You'll be remembered forever, trouble girl!<br />

<br />
The last Fall shows brought an array of Fetish inspired collections, some of them very explicitly, like the surprising Ungaro, that put aside for a moment the pink and purple frills and adopted a wonderful black and white palette, spiced up with leather chokers and cuffs, and others a bit more demure and veiled such as Gucci, that showed lots of colorful leather, fur and trilby hats.<br />
<br />
Even at Louis Vuitton, Kate Moss marched down the catwalk, wearing velvet hot pants, killer lace-up boots (that were said to have taken something around 45 minutes to be put on once there is no back zipper to emphasize the ritual of power dressing up) and a cropped leather and fur jacket. The post-coital cigarette and the tiny eye mask are very illustrative of this new kinky mood fever.<br />
<br />
Here, a few inspirational images and the latest on the runways. So cool, it HURTS.<br />

<br />
I am so happy to see that finally, women that are sizes 10, 12 and above can look at the glossies and feel that they also can be beautiful, sexy and fashionable.<br />
<br />
Of course, that doesn't diminish the shine and sex appeal of heavenly creatures like the ones you have seen on my last post about the Swimsuit Issue, but it is very refreshing to see the world has not gone totally mad and is able to acknowledge beauty in all it's shapes and sizes. (By the way, Crystal Renn is NOT big, and yes, a normal sized woman and the industry insists on labeling her a "plus size model"....argh)<br />
<br />
Here, a face-off between Skinny and Curvy provided by the great Terry Richardson, where the models wear exactly the same outfit, on different body shapes - Who is working it??? I know my opinion.....<br />

<br />
Needless to say, my convincing skills scored me the magazine, that I will treasure for ever and of course, share with you here, the wonder of beauty!<br />

A reasonable tribute to a healthy and real feminine image was featured on the cover and on the main spread of Vogue Italia, showing that women can be beautiful even if they don't look like stick figures or living hangers.<br />
Breathe out girls!<br />
