No.3 Pencil

In line with Monday’s enthusiastic post about pencil skirts, I felt compelled to present a collage that would paint one pencil skirt in three different ensembles based on the look you want to create. In case you haven’t cleaned out your closet and purged, it’s never too late. Peruse this post while in bed on your laptop and start shopping. It’s raining isn’t it? You will find down below a peek at some of the sheer incredible mash-ups happening in fashion right now (see mouse-eating bat sweatshirt, French bulldog stare, and the infamous breakup bag). Write that off as fashion magic. Just a click away. From left: J. Crew Frenchie sweater because nothing is better than a little puppy love. Valentino ‘Rockstud’ clutch because well, who... Read More

Pencil It In

Last week I caught a compelling documentary called Ethel, a blow-by-blow story about Ethel Kennedy, wife of RFK, and a Hollywood-starlet. Ethel was irreverent, fearless, funny, and famously fecund. What struck me most in the film, was not only the fearlessness that persevered throughout her career as a mother of 11 children (just imagine), the devoted wife of Robert F. Kennedy and all his political endeavors, but her ability to hold her own in the roaring upheaval of feminism of the 1960’s. Ethel Kennedy’s life was so intimately tied to one of the most significant periods in American history, covering the civil rights movement and inner-city riots, the Vietnam War, and the assassinations of not only RFK but JFK and Martin Luther King Jr., the documentary...

Red Light

The color red always come around to haunt me this time of year, and it is about time I give red another chance. Admittedly, I’ve never liked red, nor worn much red (my closet speaks for itself) but when these Thakoon Red Metallic Crisscross Pumps came upon my desk last summer via Moda Operandi, I caved. Notice below the details: metallic red and patent leather with heels that resemble the curve of a women’s bod. I figured, metallic! Check. Strappy sexy for day or evening? Check. Curvy heels? Check. Red? On my feet? I wrote about them!  Sold. Thakoon Red Metallic Pumps  Fall’s kinky mood according to Thakoon’s show-stopping red, fuscia, and raspberry flavors, and hourglass curves on stick-thin models, showed dark romance with a kinky...

Make Me Up

Striking purple glitterized The eyes have it. I really haven’t delved deep into the beauty department, besides a few hair braids and bold red lips from the runways. This is most likely because I am not a big makeup fan myself, assembling my face in five minutes or less, yet trying to look 10 years younger. But I have bags under my eyes! Sleeping Beauty fail. Our lives are busier than ever, we are sleeping less and to relinquish those 5 minutes per night to take off pesky eye makeup is just, not happening. So I figure no makeup? No problem. Unfortunately for me, it makes it more difficult to prove my point by avoiding the fact that red lips and/or smoky eyes are part of... Read More

Phat Hats

“If you could be a hat which one would you be?’ After many weeks of looking down at the southern regions at the spring shows, I feel it is the perfect time to take a look at what goes on above the eye. Its mid-October, starting to get cold outside, and now is the time to add some thicker textiles to your tresses. Today on the Fashion Hunter, we will hash-out hats and their multidimensional roles. For one, they are super stylish, are the perfect accessory for topping off an outfit, but they also allow us to get away with not doing our hair on these crisp fall mornings. Sinatra, Lennon, or Annie Hall, you can channel a certain persona to the world. Ping! So whether you are... Read More

Shoe Wars

On a recent trip to the shoe selection in my closet, I noticed an abundance of brogues, sneakers, and comfy heels– a trend that I don’t see going anywhere anytime soon. All the pointy-toe shoes and boots that I used to covet, have developed claustrophobia, waiting patiently in their storage boxes a la Woody in Top Story 2. I bet that soon, they will be plotting their escape to show up on my feet. I can always admire a lady-like point from afar, but the cramped toes, exorbitant prices, and repair bills are only worth so much of its weight in gold. It was not until my recent trip down internet alley, that my thoughts, hashtag “these are everything” threw my head in a tailspin. I... Read More

Stripped Down

Thinking about what to wear in this fickle October? I am starting to believe that transitional weather is just the time where we wonder–denim jacket? Sweater? Socks, Tee-shirt? BTW, they are all great options when weather patterns go from 80 degrees down 50 in just 24 hours. The script on what to put away are just nonsensical rules that somebody decided to think up, put on a mood board, and call it Fall. Just the thought today of getting dressed got me thinking of paring things down to simple tees, eye-popping stripes, skirts and bras. Marc Jacobs’ Spring collection was just that. Visually eye-popping, energetic, witty — it was an expression of the geometric vibe pulsating through fashion. The message? Sharp and graphic. Even the line... Read More

Five Spring Trends to Wear Now

There have been 9 non-stop days of Paris Fashion Week that officially ended fashion month starting in New York to London and Milan, and ending in Paris. We are finally able to sit-back and mull over the beehives! Grunge! The stripes! — the semi-annual celebration of style that has marched down the runways. So what do we make of the plethora of styles? Shelve them for next Spring? All this can be overwhelming, yes I know, but what is critical to note is that nothing is more powerful than the trends that reign from Paris. Covering the shows via Style.com and ingesting all of those hashtags like #celinebirkenstocks diligently, The City of Lights makes the magic and sets the tone for all of the “it”... Read More
