LM Cuir Longchamp Handbag

Another "it bag" brand that each one of us should have in the closet. The Longchamp bags belong to the group of manufacturers that will be in history and which models never go out of sight.

As in other brands, Longchamp has focused on creating multiple versions, many of them released in limited editions.

The Le Pliage model is the brand icon and I adore the bag but for this season Longchamp created a LM Cuir tote bag with the logo and in a big selection of colors that are so so pretty.

All the colors are beautiful but I have a crush in the pink and the lime ones.

Met Ball 2013 – My favorites

by AnaTaylor, in Met Ball 2013

I know this year´s topic was the Punk, as mentioned in the previous post, but honestly some outfits were too much. Not everyone looks good with this style and some ladies seemed out of a horror movie.

My all favorite is Sienna Miller, she embraced the theme without exaggeration. She was stunning, drop-dead gorgeous. I loved the dress, the spike jacket and the hairstyle.

My other favorites are a little more classic, but whose dresses I loved it!

What about you, which ones were your favorites?

Sienna Miller: Like I’ve said my top favorite. She looks amazing. The only thing I don’t like is the company… she could do better right? J

Anyway everything is perfect in this Burberry outfit.

Gwyneth Paltrow: I love this Valentino Couture hot pink gown. I don’t know why but I’m loving pink right now and this dress being simple isa t the same time super elegant.

Amanda Seyfried: What I most like in this Givenchy Couture dress is the print. You can’t see in this picture but the back is also beautiful.

Jessica Alba: This dress could look horrendous in any other woman cause the cut is not an easy one but Jessica looks awesome. It’s not noticeable but this Tory Burch dress is all leather!

Kate Bosworth: I told you Im having a crush in pink lately. I love Balmain, I love this dress, even though I don’t think Kate looked happy at all. She is getting a little weird in her face but anyway this dress is a piece of art.

Cameron Diaz: I was really surprised when I saw this picture this is not the kind of dress I was expecting seeing Cameron with. I think the color looks great and she looked great. This cape is too cool!

Karolina Kurkova: A dress by Mary Katrantzou that created this awesome asymmetric printed dress. What I most like is the print of course and the fact that suits her in perfection.

Stacey Keibler: This woman knows how to dress! What a beautiful Rachel Roy dress in an amazing body. Love the studs marking the theme and giving the look a modern wage.

Chanel Iman: In love with this J. Mendel black and white striped organza gown. What a gown omg! I also love the pink clutch matching the hair, cute and fun!

Ivanka Trump: I think Ivanka looks super elegant in this Juan Carlos Obando. I love the color block and if you didn’t notice she is pregnant! Unbelievable right? So chic.

Met Ball 2013 – Dark, Punk and Gothic styles

by AnaTaylor, in punk

This year´s theme was Punk: Chaos to Couture and some of the guests took this theme more seriously than others and were dressed just as the subject said. Many celebrities opted for black gowns and heavy dark makeup.

I made a selection of images where you can see what I am talking about. Some are cool, others not so much…

What do you think about this dark, punk gothic style?

Just in: new accessories

by AnaTaylor, in Zara

As usual I like to share with you my latest acquisitions. These ones were great purchases that I can’t miss sharing at all!

These Zara necklaces were on my mind for a while. I was indecisive because there are several ethnic necklaces in this collection but I end up buying these two. Not finished at Zara, I saw these sunglasses that I fell in love with immediately. I was looking for some creamy sunnies but didn’t find any that suit me ok, when I tried these ones I didn’t think twice and bought it. The color is awesome, the cat eye style too and they fit very well in my face.

The ankle boots are from Stradivarius and are super comfy.

Finally the Bimba y Lola stuff. You all know how crazy I am for this brand specially the accessory line. Love the ring, in an old gold color and the pink bracelet is perfect for summer time.

Ice Blue color trend

by AnaTaylor, in trends

I love the names that are used to define some color variations. I remember when I was a kid people used to define the color variations only buy adding light or dark: dark blue, light blue, dark red, light red, etc. Now and special due to the fashion industry colors have all kind of names and year to year those names multiply.

Ice blue is a good example and is one of the “It” colors of the season. It’s defined by a glacial blue, clear, pale and with a slight touch of white or gray. There are different variations that can be very light always white to darker shades.

This was never a favorite color for me but I’m starting to like it more and more. What do you think? Check my pictures and let me know your opinion.

Alex and Ani jewelry

by AnaTaylor, in trends

More than clothes, shoes or bags, I’m completely crazy for jewelry. From earrings to bracelets, expensive or cheap, from gold to brass, I love literally every type of jewelry.
For this reason I love to discover new brands and I get delighted with the good taste and audacity of some. I recently discovered Alex and Ani and I have to share this with you girls.

This brand was created by Carolyn Rafaelian who gave the name after her two daughters Alex and Ani. The designer is from Rhode Island and her work tries to share positive energy, enlighten the mind, and empower the spirit using always eco-friendly materials.

I selected some of my favorite items but it was so hard. The pieces are all so beautiful and inspired. Look at my selection but stop at the brand website as well: http://www.alexandani.com/

Just in: Kimonos

by AnaTaylor, in Zara

I love the kimono style trend. Every store has a lot of kimonos to choose from so the problem is not in how to find it but which one to pick.

I fell in love with these two. First I bought the one from Pull & Bear, pretty cheap and it dresses perfectly, then I saw this one in Stradivarius later that I couldn’t resist to.
The Zara blouse is not really a Kimono, because it’s not open in the front, but is the same style and I think we can say it’s inspired by the trend.

So, what do you think about my Kimono style purchases?
