Breathtaking Elie Saab!

OMG Elie Saab's Couture 2012 collection is simply AMAZING!! This collection is so feminine and all about delicate fabrics. These fabrics took me back to when I was looking for fabrics for my wedding dress. Exactly what I was looking for at that time and pretty close to what I had made. ;)! 


Usually I'm not a pastel color lover but I loved every single piece of his collection. Even when there's a lot of styles that wouldn't be my first choices when picking a dress, the fabrics were so rich and beautiful I don't think there was one piece in this collection that I would say I wouldn't wear. A lot of sheer embroidered fabrics, floral embellishments and white and pastel colors. This collection also reminded me of when I saw the collections from Valentino when he was still designing for his brand. Elie definitely had me drooling over all these amazing fabrics and designs. 

Ohhhh DVF!!

Just finished browsing Dian Von Fustenberg's site and I must say I need to win the lottery SOON!! I've always thought she is so feminine and trendy in a very wearable way. And I love all those bright colors and cute prints! And her website is so cute!!! I'll post here my favorites and just hope to win the "Euromillones" so I can go buy the whole store. ;) If I could at least get 3,4,6,7,11,12,14 and 15!! ;)

 

 

         

 

Keep on pushing!!

Kei's Jewelry

Keyla Torres is another Puerto Rican designer that I absolutely love. She makes really cool handcrafted fine jewelry. Guess what?!! Her shop's one year anniversary is coming up and she is having a SALE!! Yes girls I said SALE!! So go to her etsy or facebook page and look at her collection. I've got the sterling silver sideways cross and can't wait to go back home and get some of her new stuff. Well girls... ENJOY!!!

Please repeat!!

Have you ever met anyone like this? So my hubby is a basketball player and he is the point guard for the team so you know, he is always thinking about the next great strategy for the next game. That's why every Sunday I go thru this. And when I'm back at Puerto Rico, where we play two times a week, I go thru this twice as much. 

So after EVERY SINGLE game I hear about plays, rebounds, turnovers, missed shots OVER and OVER again. When he's done telling his story on our way to the restaurant (after the game) it's time to discuss it with the teammates we meet for lunch. And when we are done there, he gets back home calls his dad, discusses it once again, calls his brother and does it all over again and, of course, every one of his friends calls him after a game and I have to hear the story all over again. And when I think I'm done with it, it's practice time where the team will discuss the game once again, so guess what he wants to talk about when he comes back home. But you know what I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. Because it has taught me how much passion he has for what he does. So if you are passionate about something disregard the people who get tired of your stories and stick to the people who love and embrace everything that you do and who you are.

Funny!

I read this and thought it was hilarious because either you've done one of the above before or you've been thru this with someone. So annoying though but pretty funny when you read it! LOL! Btw sorry for the curse words. I know it's not classy and I don't support it but think about it, that's what some people always do. Hope you have a wonderful "jueves social" (that's how we describe Thursdays back home ;))

Headband Obsessed!

Here I'm featuring a Puerto Rican accessory designer who has some amazing headbands that I'm obsessed with. I wish it wasn't such a fashion statement wearing them so I could use them every time. I guess I can't be wearing all this bling every day..Sure I can!!! She has some amazing designs so I thought I'd give you her link so you can enjoy them too. They are very well made and the fabrics are very delicate. Hope you like Carolina's designs as much as I do.
