1. A carpet bag – Thanks to SammyD of Sammy Davis Vintage, I am now searching for the perfect carpet bag, hopefully I find one soon, so I can show it off to you guys.
2. A faux fur vest – I have recently blogged about this last week, but it’s something I am also looking for at the moment!
3. DVF wrap dress – Ever since I started reading her biography, I fell in love with this woman even more. I don’t only love her clothes, but I can relate to her in so many ways.
4. Books – Dying to get my hands on some books this season. I am so tempted to just go and spend them all at the Barnes & Noble on Nicolette
A couple days ago I went to a Russian Wives get together. And let me tell you, it was worse than Real Housewives of Whatever! From the generation gap, to the endless conversations about children, to nasty comments and finally a confrontation that should stay unmentioned, nothing could get me out of the hole I’ve fallen into in a matter of hours. The only way out for me was reading fashion magazines, and so I did!
I came across some great Personal Style tips from DVF and decided to share them with you! I think that when it comes to personal style, it’s always better to follow someone’s guidelines and then, once you learn more about what looks good, and what doesn’t, you can go on your own and choose your own pieces.
1. Wear Perfume – it’s sexy, you are going to smell good, and it will help attract a man into your life, if you don’t have one
2. Go for Statement Jewelry – whether a bold necklace or a bright bracelet, that type of jewelry is definitely one of the top choices these days. My favorites are the statement rings
3. Be the woman you want to be! Be happy, be positive, be radiant.
4. When getting a new pair of shoes remember – Shoes should always elongate your legs! See the previous post on UGGs – I think the designers of that brand finally got it right!
5. Take your beauty routine with you – I am not telling you all to turn into a nomad and hoard loads of stuff with you, but grab a small make up bag and stuff it with some essentials that you know you are going to need. For me any sort of face powder is a must have, everything else can stay at home!
6. Own a wrap dress – Why? Because they are flattering for all body types, now stop asking questions and start beautifying yourselves!
And always remember to leave uncomfortable or stiff clothes behind!
I hope you all enjoyed these tips and will take them into consideration! I know some people who should really look into those
DVF’s vintage Fall 2011 collection calls for mixed prints! The geometrics of DVF remind me of a toy I used to have as a kid, called the Kaleidoscope!
If you have, by chance, missed the joy of playing with this toy when you were a child, let me share a few pictures with you (but seriously – go to the nearest toy store and check it out!)
And here are the DVF’s prints for the fall! I am not only loving the dress, I am loving the idea of those prints on the walls!
Having been in love with browns for a number of years now, it was obvious which outfit would become my favorite:
I am also loving this Justine dress:
And of course the Finn shoe (ever since I got those Via Spigas, I have been in love with the chunky high heel paired up with a platform!)
I almost died when I saw this baby on sale! It’s the Capreena Mini Dress!
It’s going to go with so many of my shoes and bags!
Happy Monday!
ZhenyAH!
PS. This post was inspired by an ad video I watched this AM, unfortunately, I couldn’t find it to share with you!
