SHOES I LOVE - JEFFERY CAMPBELL !!

The JC shoes with a vintage style and a  runway flair are all over the place now. Some more crazy than others and with a  very authentic style in each pair of shoes. Are the simple reflexion of a man with true passion for design, a passion that is evident in every detail of the JC product.

The most inspiring part for me is to realize how successful a business can be if you are not afraid  to fail and just go for it , trusting your talent . Maybe I am making a  story in my head but I can imagine the struggle this designer had before he released his crazy line of shoes. Now, there are shoes for every taste, more conservative and flat ones, or crazy fun ones with prints studs and weird shapes.

I love JC shoes, cause first of all are super duper comfortable so finally you will not complain in the middle of the night.  Most of them has a  super huge hill with platform so u will last hours dancing and are completly different and authentic, that is my favorite part, you will not find thousand of them.

Since 2000 when he released his first line of shoes inside his garage, with hard work and dedication now is one of the most sought after brands in today's competitive shoe market.

This are my favorite ones:

IN FASHION: BRIGHT FLUOR COLORS!

This trend is  definitely taking  a  hike , the Fluor -Neon colors. Not only in Europe and America it's all over the world, and not even just in fashion it's in arts, illustration, interior design, etc.
Like old times in the nineties fashion was about bright colors and short tops... so we are back to those times!!!.
It's such a  fun color for the summer, so avoid the depressing black. I am still trying to do that cause half of my closet is black, so i bought few things in my favourite color for the summer ; the bright orange, well it's not even orange it's like  a bright salmon.

THE CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS: VEGAS!

 It was my first time in Vegas and my first impression after 5 hours driving, was the blinding lights yeahh that's why i wanted to call this post like the song of U2...."In the city of blinding lights the Neon heart day-glow eyes a city lit by fireflies they are advertising in the skies for people like us".

The lights of each Hotel the dimension of each one and the luxury of all this city really makes you blind. A fantasy place were you can spend without worring and get stressed. At least at that moment, cause the day after of playing two hours in the slot machine and have lost 200 dolar, won 30 and lost again  150. Made me realize how tricky that game could be. Specially when the guy next to you is winning and winning. It's not that i was stocking him but that loud noise made me look into his machine  more than mine. I just wanted to win at least something, anyway it wasn't my lucky day.

I realized that Vegas has their own fashion style. Tiny super tight skirts and deep cleavage tops with very bright colors, at least almost every girl i saw had " The Vegas Style", not my favorite one.

Cause it was extremely hot i decided to go for very light dresses and skirts and wore hats all the time. What i like the most in summer is to use a lot of bright colors like red, pink, green. Even with my nails i like to have fun with those colors.

The best of this three days trip was the Cirque Du Soleil show, Le Reve. The journey into a  world of romance, action and fantasy in an Aqua theater in the Wynn Hotel. Just amazing the artistic athleticism, under water tango and acrobatics made me expect the unexpected.o

4 TH OF JULY!!

I am so sorry I am just posting, and it's already the 13 th of july, the reason is becuse I was in mexico for few days. In the next post i'll be telling the story of my mexican adventure.
Now let's go back to the 4 th of july.What really got my attention was the empty streets and the smell of BBQ everywhere. I was doing alot of effort to go vegetarian  but the smell made me desire so much a piece of beef and... I must admit, I ate a huge hamburger with fries and a bit of Mac & cheese, no rules for today!!.
families together kids running everywhere, made me miss my family so much. Everyone with t-shirts ties and hats with the american flag. Even the houses were decorated with flags posters and lights with blue white and red.

AUDREY HEPBURN OBSESSION

As i said in one of my first posts, I am kind of an obsessive person, and I admit it. Audrey Hepburn Biography Book, Breakfast at Tiffany's dvd a beautiful picture of her that i hanged on my wall and a mug. Is that obsession? well those were my last week purchases.
For sure I am not the only person who admires the extraordinary life of such an extraordinary person. That besides all her success, fame and being such a big fashion icon that inspired designs by Givenchy and earned her place in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame. during her last years of life she worked among the poorest children of the third world she was named Ambassador for UNICEF. Her commitment was absolute, she found herself among cultures as disperate as the Vietnamese, the Indians and various African tribes.
Sabrina, Academy Award-winning lead role in Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady are some of my favorite ones.
With her death, a light went down for millions It seemed a particular cruelty that so purposeful and radiant a life had been prematurely ended, she was just sixty-three.

Talking about obsessions. I went to a casting for a commercial, while i was waiting, my curiosity drive me thru the empty casting director's office, a man of more or less sixty years old. He had all the room packed with Superman posters, toys even the curtains were with the Superman logo. Definitely everyone has an obsession. Whats yours??

THE RIGHT OUTFIT FOR THE RIGHT OCCASION

Yesterday I had a  meeting with an important manager, and my big confusion was... how to dress for this occasion that you can't dress that crazy or that rocker, it needs to be a very classy and conservative look. Well at least it's that image that i wanted to give, but I didnt want to look boring neither.
In such a  looong time that I wasn't spending that long thinking inside of  my closet-what the hell do i wear for this meeting?, sometimes can be really frustrating.

So i made it simple, blue jeans never fail in any occasion and decided to go with a pretty vintage blouse with white spots and laced in the top of the sleeves, a black blazer and a simple black purse .

Finally I felt really good and comfortable and the meeting went really good, just crossing fingers I can start working with him so he can guide me in my acting career.

Here are four simple rules to feel confident and will guarantee a  great impression.

1. Be Smart

It is very important to look smart when attending a meeting, even if you are not required to wear a suit. If you are required to wear a suit, then men should wear a tie as it pulls the suit together formally. Remember that dressing well gives an impression of respect to your colleagues.

In many industries your presentation to clients is crucial so it is important, particularly in interviews, that your outfit is clean and well presented. Make sure your shoes are not dirty and be careful that there are no marks on your clothes or loose threads hanging from seams. This may appear sloppy and it is possible that others may not take you seriously.

2. Be Simple

Simplicity is genius and crucial when deciding what to wear to a meeting. If your clothes are too busy or loud it will detract from you and others may not be able to concentrate on what you have to say.

A white shirt should always be a wardrobe staple for men and women as it can be dressed up or down, depending on the tone of the meeting. A clean, crisp white shirt will look good with a smart suit and tie but also tucked into jeans.

3. Be Comfortable

If you are uncomfortable in the clothes you are wearing it is quite likely that you will not be able to concentrate fully in the meeting. It is important to wear something that makes you feel confident. So choose something well fitting i.e. not too tight, too short or too revealing.

4. Be Yourself

The famous British broadcaster Michael Parkinson said, ‘confidence has a lot to do with interviewing’ and this is true of any meeting. Your attire plays a supporting role to your character, so wear something that compliments your personality rather than over taking it. You should speak for yourself and not let your clothes speaks for you.

So those are four simple rules of thumb to help with any wardrobe queries you may have. The most important thing is to dress appropriately as you are ultimately there to do business. So if in doubt try and gauge the tone of the meeting before hand.

STILA RUNWAY SHOW

What I like the most of modeling is the transformation that u can have for each job, and the make up is a key for that. One day a super classy with very sexy make up ( brown and natural tones in the eyes and red lips) the other one a super trashy very rocker style ( smoky eyes and pale lips), the last one is my favorite.

MY DESIGN

This runway show was for Stila a make-up and beauty line, that i love specially the foundation and the lip gloss is amazing, the packaging is very fun too. This year was a very couture, very crazy and artistic theme. In each model they did a completely different make-up using feathers and different drawings and designs that looked like a  tattoo, like mine, were like leaves coming out of my eye was fun but weird the feeling that they are drawing your face. The make up artist was amazing cause she didn't take alot of time and did a  great job.

Lets talk about the clothes now. Cause the make-up was very buzzy the clothes were classy and elegant dresses. Mine was a black sequence dress from DKNY.

Talking about make-up daily i always use natural colors, brown and gold during the day and illuminating pigment from Mac in the t- area (forehead, nose and chin) for  a very natural and shiny skin. If i go out I choose as i mentioned before smoky eyes with a lot of mascara and pale color lips.
