Muse of the month (because we love her style)

Name: Paz de la Huerta

Date of birth: September 3, 1984

Place of birth: New York, US.

Occupation: Actress and model. She's best known for her latest role in tv show Boardwalk Empire.

Fashion trademark: dark lips, hazelnut hair, punk provocative style.

Fun facts: Her real name is Maria de la Paz Elizabeth Sofia Adriana de la Huerta (not kidding).

Apparently she loves being naked most of the time as you can see.

She has spanish blood.

Man up!

Ties, bow ties, wide legged pants, jackets or combat boots, are items needed to pull off the "Boyish look" a la Annie Hall. It has became a trademark for style icons like Emmanuelle Alt and Diane Keaton among others.

Beware 'cause this look is only for unique and independent women.

I've never been, let's say a girly-girl and showing off a lot of skin has never been my thing, so I declare myself a faithful follower of this look. 

I find this style very wild and sexy somehow, I believe is better when people try to imagine what's underneath, a little detail here and there bla bla(the fantastic art of teasing, but that my friends is another story) or better said, never show your cards before the game starts haha.. it gives you some kind of mysticism and confidence. xx

OMG! Dsquared2 pre-fall 2012.

  Ok, so Dsquared2 presented their pre-fall 2012 collection, how can this be, I ask myself? If winter started just two days ago in this side of the world? Well I don't have all the answers but I have a hunch that next year velvet blazers are gonna be hot... again, after 8 years of storing in the memory lane(I have mine in a box but ready to mingle any day now). Lovely isn't it? By the way, about the collection, love the shoes, love the pants, love the knit. xx

Christmas joy!

After so long of not coming home, finally I'm here.  I've done nothing but eat, rest, eat a little more and sleep. I haven't even take off my pjs since I got here (as I promised).

 I'm enjoying big time, so much that I'm even cooking (yes, me the I never ever cook girl... cooking). Today I cooked my first tuna fish souffle and it didn't suck! And my next task is to wrap the christmas gifts but I'm kind of bored of the regular gift wrap with the snowflakes and christmas trees on it so I think I'll try something more fun.

I definitely wanna try the kraft paper and the pom poms.. I took the idea from here.

This is also very suitable when you realize you didn't buy enough christmas wrapping paper and you don't have enough time and the energies to go back to the stores and start hunting for some left overs. Instead, we better stay at home enjoy ourselves with a delicious christmas punch, a cheesy movie, take a dive into the boxes where we keep all kind of crap from past parties, birthdays and christmases and turn it into something nice! xx

 It's cold outside.

Finally is time to go home for Christmas time! and I pretend to do nothing but keep myself comfy and warm, dig in all the luscious food my body can allow, and for that I need the proper kind of clothing... wide pjs. Happy holidays!! 

Any given day.
     

Since I've got nothing to say today and I'm running late for some errands, I leave you with this video of french actress/singer Charlotte Gainsbourg. I looove this chick! Enjoy.

Before I start, I want to dedicate this post to my friend Sandra who apparently enjoys this section of my blog (I don't blame her, I keep it very interesting haha). 

That said, let's get started. Jodie Snyder, Co-founder, President of DANNIJO (jewelry), New York started the company along with her sister Danielle in 2008 and since then they have remained at the top. 

About her apartment, it has an Americana Western vibe and she buys furniture like she buys accessories – always an emotional purchase and never enough space.

!Before she became a jewelry designer she studied to be a mime! Can you believe that? 

They have collaborated with The man Repeller (famous and hilarious blogger wich I follow by the way) for the MR.DANNIJO collection, (the one with the mustaches).

 People who follow my blog regularly knows that I'm such a jewelry sucker. And those who do not follow my blog.. well guys: I'm such a jewelry sucker.

Now that everyone follows me I just have one question, how is possible that all that coolness comes from the same designer? how Bjørg Nordli-Mathisen? And as we ask ourselves how she does it, let's enjoy her site and the whole thing here.

Jason Wu Pre Fall 2012.

My oh my! I know we're still in 2011 and we are just digesting the last fashion weeks but I couldn't help to share this with you.. check the whole thing right this way

Sneaky shoes.

Because we can't be walking in high heels the whole year... MIU MIU did our fashionable feet half a favor, and I say half 'cause a full favor would be taking them home for a friendly holiday price, right?

If you are overspend on christmas gifts but can't take your eyes off of these guys, there's always the very handy DIY here, and here and here! 

Because ZARA could not let us down on holidays!

This is the time of the year when our savings and credit cards are suffering from overconfidence (in this matter my savings suffer from this desease all year long). But, behold! We can always rely on friendly budget stores like this. Thank you thank you Inditex and the like!

 If you haven't looked at Zara latest collections please go here.

 The ancient art of layering.

 For those who don't know and are wondering what is the layering.. well my friends, is at simple as it sounds.

The layering is to put up all the clothing as possible without looking like a crazy tasteless person (no offense to crazy tasteless people). Oh and layering also includes accessories.

I know this wont be hard for any of you to carry out now that winter's here. And for those who are in summertime you can try with lighter stuff for starting. If you need a little inspo, here's a little fun tutorial, now go!
