Editorial for Para Ti Magazine in Tiwanacu

                                  

I know I am a little bit late to write this post but I couldn't just let it pass cause was a very important day for me, 6 th of August , the day of my beautiful country. The one that I love and gave me so much. It's been already six months that I am away and I am counting the days to go back on December.

 Because it's a fashion blog I'll talk more about my country in fashion and the tendency and  inspiration that many big designers and photographers had with my culture.

Hermes Paris Fashion Show inspired on the South American culture with "ponchos"

I am so proud of our designers and how fashion it's been developing  thru the years. Fashion magazines runway shows, designers. I might say that we are not far away from what we see in other countries. The "want" it's a must for success and many talents have it all!. 

 Like Erika Suarez Weisse she is a young talent that has her own line of clothes named Weise her creations are a piece of art.  Other designers like Lilliana Castellanos are already an icon in the world of fashion,  with her classic designs and a  modern touch. Super classy and elegant she uses the famous alpaca in most of her designs.

 Talking about magazines: Revista VE and Trendy are my favorite so far. With their eyes on the world of fashion and lifestyle they catch all what's IN right now. The last editorials that I saw, and was part of it shows the  talent of the photographer, the creativity of the stylist, the model, make up artist,etc.
Shows that for good results you need a good and complete team. 

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:

                                    
 Love this ones except the one with the american flag. It's not that i have something personal with the flag or the colors but....mmm It's too much!!!

                                       
                                         Love this look with the shoes!!

Celebrities using JC:

                      OMG It seems that the shoe just melted!!! Definitely NOT

These one i can think about it maybe for Christmas!!

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.

                                         Why not having fun with crazy colors on your nails?

                                        I love this  Carrera sunglasses for the summer!!

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

THE ENDING OF THE SHOW. LOVE THE BRIGHT COLORS 

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.

This is the look of the day. Martina: dress by French Connection, shoes by Steve Madden

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??
