ADRIANA LIMA FOR BLUMARINE FALL 2011 CAMPAIGN



                                                Adriana Lima for Blumarine Fall 2011 campaign
 
                                                                       About Blumarine….
Designer Anna Molinari and her late husband, Gianpaolo Tarabini, started the Blumarine line in 1977 in Carpi, Italy, where the company’s headquarters are still located today. Blumarine’s clients are Sharon Stone, Brittany Murphy, Kate Winslet, Carmen Electra, Christina Ricci.
                              Here is a few pictures of Brumarine from Milan fashion week - fall 2011


 Edgy and classy at the same time...

Victoria Secret’s model, Adriana Lima became a new face for Blumarine fall 2011 campaign. She looks drop-dead gorgeous in sexy see-thru and animal prints mini-dresses and sexy high heels. The best part of this collections is that the pieces presented by Blumarine can be easily transformed from a day into an evening wear. It is hard not to notice her bright red lipstick, that goes so well with sexy leopard print dresses. I think most of these pieces are very wearable and quite versatile for different occasions.








        Would you go for this look? Or you find it too edgy? What do you think about this collection?

ROBERTO CAVALLI AT MILANO FASHION WEEK FALL 2011



                                              Roberto Cavalli at Milano fashion week fall 2011.
As usually Roberto Cavalli delivered an outstanding collection of versatile and dreamy clothing. While looking at his designs you can understand   that he has raised the bar to the level of taste and acceptance to a new mark. His collection has “Cavalli” written all over, you can not confuse his style with any other designer. Coming down to earth, his pieces have lots of layering, the mixing of different textures, embellishing such materials such as leather, fur, embracing cold and warm colors, pieces that can easily be transformed from winter to summer clothes. Well and beautifully done.





Do you like it? Would you wear these pieces?
Waiting for your comments and feedbacks.

LOVE, SHOES AND JLO...



Hello lovelies! Yesterday when I was watching a new JLO’s video “Papi” (btw, it is on my blog), I suddenly remembered her famous  line from the movie “Wedding Planner”, when JLO’s shoe got stocked in a middle of a road and Matthew McConaughey pushed her away, saving her  from an incoming car. And JLO said:


                                                         “ You saved….. my shoe…” LOL!
I thought it would be a great entrance to my new post about….. of course, about shoes…. I have to share with you my new find –shoes’ illustrations by Eva Marks, fashion designer and talented illustrator. I am so excited to find another shoe fanatic, besides me:-). In her own words Eva says that her illustrations are her own original ideas drawn by hand. She likes the quality of a hand drawn sketch, the freedom to let your imagination flow, go wild and free.
Here is only a few, and I really mean “a few” of her shoellustrations (OK, I just made this word:-)). You can see and appreciate a depth of her love for shoes just by a quick look at her work. And of course, we understand this love, don’t we???:-)





I think I just found my new tattoo:-)










 I am so wowed by these beauties! I really hope you liked them too!

SHOES ON YOUR HEAD OR JAMIE NELSON PHOTOGRAPHY



Hello guys! This post is about Colorado Springs born and New York based fashion photographer, Jamie Nelson. Her work is shown in numerous international publications, ad campaigns and billboards. Nelson recently participated in a new museum/chandelier art exhibit in New York as well as a collective exhibit in Rome.
Her work is bold well balanced and sexy. In this post I am going to cover 2 of my favorite lines: “working bright colors” and “ pale shoes”. Both lines are outstanding and stunning. Please take a look, it is definitely worth of your attention.







Thinking about making this picture as my new profile picture:-)




What can I say? Her work is ridiculously amazing and fascinating. This photographer definitely knows "what women want"!
