Anna Molinari


On the good side,
Anna Molinari's show was a exquisite. I love the idea of mixing feminie pieces with more masculine ones. We all know that combining both gives off an extremelly sexy allure. And it never hurt to have THAT.

Anything girly mixed with the narrow cropped pants presented would look amazing. Not only that, but even with a light weight tank or jacket, the look would be complete and perfect. The work on the skirts makes them irresistible, to me anyway. I see myself pairing them with simple tank top and very high heels and I'd be ready to go.
The thing with this collection is that it's really not as complicated to wear as it might seem.
Big Flop Of The Season
Gucci was just BAD.The whole 60s are back thing just doesn't do it. There is nothing I like in this collection.
Frida Giannini was doing a much better job as a brunette than she is now as a blonde. Maybe the peroxide got to her head and she thought she was back in the 60s...who knows really. But one thing is for sure, it was ugly and boring. I have a hard time picturing this collection

as a spring-summer one, let alone picturing it as a
Gucci one. Already that we were just starting to accept her as a somewhat replacement of the "oh God he's such a genius"
Tom Ford but this season she just blew it.
My suggestion to Frida, get a bottle of dark hair dye, lock yourself in your bathroom with Gucci archives from the Tom Ford era; and while you re waiting for the color to sink in, let the masterwork of Tom bring you some insight on what a collection should look like
La Bella Moda!
Milannnnnnnnnnn Fashion Week is here...Yesterday,
Belstaff presented their collection.

The company has been around for a really long time, working with Hollywood costume designers. They're behind Tom Cruise's leather jacket in Mission Impossible and many other movies throughout the years.
Known for their leather jacket with lots of hardware, they definitly tried to keep that going. Granted I don't really like the dresses with lots of hardware nor do I like the see through jumpsuits. But some of the pieces including a gorgeous black suit are very wearable and sexy.
------------------------------------------------Of course I have to mention
Moschino. The spirit was definitly young and flirty even with the 50s vibe in the air. Clean cuts and simple styles yet still sexy. That's what I like.
PS: Great shoes.
---------------------------------------------------- 
La Perla. The ready-to-wear collection is...interesting. Wearable and sexy but still needs more focus in my opinion. Many of us still think of the company as lingerie only and in order to change that idea, they have to work really hard at establishing themselves as ready-to-wear house in the eyes of the public.
My Very Fashionable Guy

There's really something about having a boyfriend who knows fashion.Don't get me wrong, I always managed to go out with guys who know how to dress one way or the other but THIS time it's way different. K, just kills me (in a good way) when we talk about clothes.
Not only that, but we can talk for hours about this season's trends and I love that I can finally talk to my bf about, open toe leopard Louboutin pumps (he doesn't like them but I went and bought them anyway) or Gucci's new thigh high super flat leather boots (he loves them and was surprised to know that I have them in suede) and he just gets it.
As FLAWLESS As It Gets
It can't get any better. Armani's new collection for his label Emporio Armani is pure perfection. This is what I love about him and a few others who have been doing this for the longest time. I don't get disapointed. I just want to post ALL the pictures
of the collection. There are too many looks I love.
Anybody who uses red as much as Armani did this time and so perfectly well, wins major points in my fashion book.Tiny shrugs and super cute shorts are really must haves for next summer. The dresses are BEAUTIFUL and I can go on forever. Point is,everything just blends together so well, I am in a loss of words.
New Comers

Two days ago, new graduate Christopher Kane (Donatella's new apprentice); showed off his super vibrant first collection. Granted the cut was the same for practically all the dresses, but the colors and the style not only scream Versace circa 1990's but also Balenciaga. Go figure!
-----------------------------------------------

Marios Schwab however is something else. A first look at the collection and we're taken back to Alaia days. The beautiful cut of the dresses and the proportions are very very similar to Alaia's.
The draping on the beige skirt is a good enough reason to want to have it.
London London London
I am in love with this NOIR collection. The cut as well as colors make a great match. The skin tight leggings
make me want to put mine on add some heels and dance the night away. While the white sexy suit makes me want to be anything but boring. To simply put it, I would wear every single item of it.
Baby, Baby, Baby

Yesterday K called after he had just left Barcelona where he spent the week-end shopping. Apparently he went crazy buying practically all of D&G's new collection as well as a some sweaters from Alexander McQueen, shirts from Paul Smith and some more things from J. Lindeberg.
What can I say?? My type of guy. Our hour long conversation while he was driving was mainly about fashion, menswear mostly and my obsessions with purses and his with D&G blazers. Then I don't know it came up but I said something like my baby's going to be the best dressed kid and K then tells me : "of course darling because our baby will be a DIOR BABY."That's all it took for me to start fantasizing already...He called me tonight wondering what I was doing then twice after to say goodnight. I met up with P in the evening for a couple of hours, I feel so bad because I know he loves me and I don't want to break his heart like V did. So I just play along, but my heart belongs to K. No doubt about that.
Annoying
Aghhhhh, I just wanna strangle P. He's soooo annoying. I must've hung up on him at least 10 times today and he keeps calling. I've never seen a human with as little personality as he is. He's just... so boringly blah. He can't do NOTHING right, he's always ''confused'' as he likes to say and always sounds sleepy when you're talking to him. I can't believe he actually exists, that's how bad it is.I'm so MAD.
Fashion Week Continues...
Zac Posen had his show today. For someone who absolutely loves dresses, I was kind of disapointed in the sense that the gowns he showed were a bit, all over the map.
Some of them like this off the shoulder black one, reminded me of Gucci ...
Also showing today, was Catherine Malandrino. One of my favorites designers simply because she knows how to dress a woman. Sexy yet easy to wear garments, exactly how I love them. I fell in love with these 2 dresses. The first one has a great bubble skirt and mettalic top I just love it. The yellow doll dress as I like to call it is both sexy and fun to wear.And I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

Leaving It All Behind
So as you can tell, I'm taking some time off. At least until next Fashion Week which is going to be here soon enough...After I came back from vacation, I really didn't feel like doing anything anymore. All I could think about was: what's the point ?It's a weird thing but I feel like I can't enjoy anything here anymore. I wanna move. I wanna go back to where I belong. I'm hoping that with not doing anything, it might be easy to just pack and leave. Unfortunatly I am not alone in this thing and although I am dying to leave, other people are still hesitant. Which just gets me more and more depressed. I am hoping that everything will work out, the sooner the better. I like not doing anything, since I've always been busy busy busy, but I need something to bring back my interest. I tried to do some work this week, but I just couldn't enjoy it. My brain's not working like it should be and I don't blame it. Just one look outside makes me want to pack my bags and hop in the first plane. God, if only I could do that.I came, I saw, I conquered and now it's time to leave...
Tyra Banks Spoofs Beyonce's Deja Vu
This is so Hilarious. I love it
Fashion Week Favorites
I know it's Fashion Week in New York, but there's just something about showing summer clothes in fall that gets me depressed. I mean, we're barelly saying bye to summer and the thought of having to wait so long to put on those without a doubt gorgeous outfits just kills me...One of my favorite colletions this season is Luca Luca .
This super cute dress just makes me want to get up, put it on and go have the best date ever. It's just...too cute.
On the other hand this all white ensemble is so pulled together, chic but with an edge.Nothing beats that.
Anna Sui on the other hand is true to herself in a manner that her clothes are FUN. When put on, you know that you're bound to have a fun time because honestly, how can you not? For sexy, I suggest you check out Carlos Miele. A tiny low cut, chiffon dress in royal blue will desiniftly make any guy melt. There's also a longer version,of that beautiful dress. Basically something for everybody.
Personally, I just go for something easy to wear. There's nothing worse than having what you're wearing wear YOU. Instead of falling for every trend, better to pick something that works for YOU. After all, aren't YOU the one supposed to be wearing the clothes?
SO Sweet
I have the best boyfriend. K called earlier, he was somewhere in Spain. We talk for a bit, the usual "i miss u-i miss u", then when I was about to hang up he tells me "Baby, please be careful. Now that I have you, I don't wanna lose you".
Awwww, he just makes me melt... I feel like a schoolgirl .
La La Land
I woke up at 12pm today after spending the night watching season 3 of Nip/Tuck (hello, addict here). Oppened the curtains only to see a grey sky, rain soon?
Yesterday, K called me at least5 times. He couldn't get over how happy he was from our talk of the previous day. The day before,I was out with P shopping when K called and I couldn't talk (for obvious reasons) so he started saying things like "..you never tell me how you feel about me and I'm always telling you how much I miss you..." which got me upset. It's hard to argue over the phone, sometimes I get pissed off and I wanna hang up the phone on him but then I just take a deep breath swallow my pride and tell him something nice and he gets all happy again. Last week, he got mad because I didn't want to talk about my feelings for him, which got me mad and I hung up the phone on him while he was talking. I was sure I was never going to hear from him again, but 5 mns later he called back and we had a long talk and he ended up telling me that he wants to be with me and missed me... And I promised never to hang up on him again. Long distance relationships are hard, but this one's even trickier because we were together for only a couple of weeks before I had to leave. So already, the fact that he calls everyday and we talk so much and he tells me he misses me... is a HUGE thing. But now, it became normal for us to say "I love you", and honestly, I'm really happy even if he's not here. Now more than ever he says that he just HAS to see me because he misses me so much and I do too.
He's just too cute to resist...
Relaxing Week-End
Is it bad that I spent the whole week-end watching Nip/Tuck and loved every minute of it??I just didn't feel like going out, I'm so tired of always going to the same places and even more tired of seeing the same faces. I feel so...past that.
Plus it's starting to get cold and you know what that means. It's time to bring
out the fall clothes and put away the sexy summer outfits that I love so much. It's also time for me to go back to the gym, I haven't been since before I left on vacation. And if I'm planning on seeing K in a couple of months I gotta make sure I look like a perfect 10... It's not for nothing that when I was on the phone with K today he called me his Carmen Electra and said how much he misses me.
Also, P kept calling and msging since yesterday. First it was to go to a club opening then today it was the movies. I said no to both. Seriously, I have better things to do...
Song suggestion of the day: Beyonce- Irreplaceable
Abscence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
On a much better note, K called twice yesterday . I just miss him even more now. The day before, we talked all afternoon and thank God for the existance of live video msgin since we won't be able to see each other for another 2 months. BUT, we're going to make up for it. The plan is to meet in November for a week in New York and in December for 10 days very far away so we can spend New Year's together. Let's just hope that it works out... it's kinda hard when there's actually an OCEAN separating us.
I found this very interesting article on Sunjournal.com
Leslie Karsner, the author of "The Long Distance Romance Guide," and Dr. Guldner feel that long distance love offers benefits such as improved communication, not taking each other for granted and increased independence and individuality. However, they both offer tips to help couples keep the relationship strong, even across hundreds of miles: 
1. Ensure clear and frequent communication. It's important to keep touching base and tickling fancies with gifts and chat. When you can't rely on seeing facial gestures and body language, you must communicate more effectively.
2. Stay optimistic. Long distance relationships can and do work.
3. Have a support system. Surround yourself with friends and family who are willing to listen and support you in your extra efforts.
4. Have a life of your own. Don't just keep busy, really accomplish things that matter to you. Don't spend your time pining -- stay active with physical and social diversions.
5. Avoid avoidance. Agree to talk about tough issues during your next visit.
6. Don't expect perfection. Couples in long distance relationships sometimes measure the success of their relationship by the perceived quality of the most recent time spent together. If the weekend was a disappointment then the relationship is in trouble. Simply realizing that there will be some disappointing times together -- and that this is normal -- will help with those less than glorious weekends.
7. Find less expensive alternatives to stay in touch. E-mail and letters are great ways to keep the flame alive. Newer technology, such as phone calls over the Internet, also provides low cost ways to hear that special someone's voice. For the month of February, voiceglo is offering free Internet phone calls to its subscribers -- all you and your partner need to do is sign up for the service and download the software.
Although it may be hard at times, it's often worth holding on to those long distance relationships. Just remember to be creative and keep the lines of communication open!
Boring & Boring
Last night was a waste of a perfect outfit. To reconcile, P, me, my sis and his friend O decided to go have dinner at P's uncle's restaurant. We get there only to find out that V is there with G. Right then and there I knew my night just went from 10 straight down to 0 in no time. As we're walking to our table, she started laughing out loud and speaking greek. But I didn't even look her way.
After a while they left, but the mood was ruined. P who's naturally boring, was even more so last night and no matter how I tried to pick up the mood with my sister, the guys were just too boring...
After dinner, we went to M, but seriously, how can you have fun when you're out with guys who look like they're sleep walking?? I'm sure even people who sleep walk are more fun than those 2. So when we left M to go to T, I just hoped in a cab and left them. I couldn't take it anymore...
Nothing Major
So, I may not be over what happened with P, but at least I figured out that he was just a pathetic loser and that instead of getting mad at him, I should just pity him. After msging me so many ''I need to talk to u'' msgs and me ignoring all of them, we met at M saturday where I went with some guy friends for dinner. Of course I could see that P was fuming and I ignored him all night. Didn't help that there were other guys there I have history with...Once home, P sent me around 50 msgs begging and pleading to forgive him. Which I didn't. In the meantime, K spent the week-end in Paris where he called me from saying that he misses me so much ... Yesterday he called from Belgium asking me to go visit him for a week-end, in yet another country;since he can't make it here. We'll see...Also, I tried to keep busy last week by going out for dinner with guy friends. Just platonic, but it's better than nothing. You guys remember N who was away for so many months?? Well sunday night we went for dinner and a movie and as he was sitting across the table from me, I could't help but wonder what did I ever find attractive in him?? Now I see him as friend only and I can't imagine ever thinking of him as something else. Weird, isn't it?
