The cool girls' guide to a shopping afternoon

So I collected some vintage Gucci and 

these beauties and went shopping.

Strutting down Bal Harbour, we stopped and entertained some Prada reflections

AWW-ed and OWW-ed at that sexy irresistibile Miu Miu girl

fed the Mrs. Robinson’s in us the Lanvin’s take on animalier 

And then Oscar de la Renta: welcome to the quintessence of exquisite elegance.

My sandals match the carpet (a very familiar one)

Oh hi, glorious satin bow peep-toe mules in blush pleased to meet you (you too match the rug)

Black beauties alert spotted on the Dominican coral table.

I don’t know what is more irresistible: the Dior-esque stiletto, the peep-toe, those bows or that Galliano breeze all over them.

And it’s begining to look a lot like Christmas. 'One each color please, on my credit card as usual and the chauffeur will pick them up …'

Then the Alice in me started to jazz around.

'Oscar is a master at pink' my head just whispered, 'The ONLY one who makes pink enviably chic, not corky or  nauseating prom night.' 

That’s all.

Naila Swimwear at MBFW Swim in Miami Beach.
It was the hottest week in July and what better than a swimwear runway show by the pool at The Raleigh?
Exclusive prints and eco fabrics, sexy european cuts (Brigitte Bardot St. Tropez anyone?) and more in my interview.
For more pictures … Stay tuned.

7 chic ways to rock bell bottom jeans like Jane Birkin

Serious attention to the effortless details is primarily required if you want to achieve that bohemian chic meets classic. They come natural to someone who’s so iconic that a Hermes bag has her name. 

There’s some advantage with having a badass boyfriend.

It may help to have some nothing-shorter-than-perfect bangs.

Keep it up and here we go: ingredients for the bell bottom a la Jane

- a hell of a lot of striped tops: tank, T-shirt, short sleeves, long sleeves, bateau neckline (free interpretation, the concept is to highlight that French Riviera flair);

- white blouse cotton gauze long sleeves 

- basket (it could be a tropezienne, it can be a sicilian decorated woven straw basket, and yes little bells hanging are allowed)

- espadrilles (wedges or flat, just don’t mess up with the length of the pants, if they are meant to be worn with wedges don’t roll them up. Hems exist and they have a reason why.)

- flats they can be ballerinas (Porselli should be the must, although Repetto are not a wrong choice) or horse bit loafers. As per the hem, read above, no kidding.

- turtle neck for a fall version

- silk scarf some “Flora” Gucci print, any horse bit by Hermes wrapped around head or used to cover the basket and avoid intruders inside the bag.
