NYFW

Designers of Kenzo and their second 'baby' brand Humberto Leon and Carol Lim showed their debut collection for Opening Ceremony at New York Fashion Week in front of numerous celebrity friends.
Designers were inspired by combination of influences of busy suburban Southern California with it's street races (i.e. seat belts reference) and Carol Lim's homage to her Korean background featuring traces of traditional Korean garments like below cross strap tops and wrapped jackets.
Collection was rich with carefully combined street wear and high end pieces like tank dresses, cargo shorts and over-sized t-shirts and tailored almost unitards ;) Fun, young, bright and wearable, relaxed story. I selected below a number of pieces I would certainly wear!

Backstage beauty story was told by (as you might have noticed from last posts) favorite make up artist and Estee Lauder creative director Tom Pecheux who created simple but beautiful looks using new Estee Lauder products shown on the photos on beautiful Estee Lauder model ambassador - Liu Wen.

"I am forever inspired by far away exotic places.
I may never have been there, but in my imagination it is real."
Ralph Lauren
When commenting and writing about Ralph Lauren's work I must say that I cannot be absolutely objective. After a relatively short time working for this America's most powerful fashion house with amazing history and tradition I will always have a special place in my heart and my closet for gorgeous pieces he creates season after season throughout his portfolio of brands.
Ralph Lauren used Spain as a rich source of inspiration for his SS 2013. collection which gave a flirty flamenco twist to his iconic pieces such as: lace skirts,chiffon
evening dresses,embroidered jackets, sensual black gowns, masculine tailoring, silk jersey dresses and a classic white shirts.
The color pallet was luxurious combination of black, white, red, and
turquoise pieces accessorized with fringed shawls, bolero hats and studded leather mailbags, all made with exquisite craftsmanship with rich texture of Iberian motifs.
My favorites were long, high-waisted
embroidered black tulle skirt, floral chiffon dresses, turquoise ruffled shirt and ponchos all of which are extremely chic and can be worn daily!

Jill Stuart FW 2012. campaign
With all eyes on next weeks fashion festivities in NYC and one foot out of the door I am reviewing busy last week in Barcelona, this was my first work week after vacation so I was working 9-7ish every day trying to catch up on last weeks emails. Instead of going to lunch I was taking short swim-lunch breaks every day noonish to take advantage of what is left of Summer sunny weather at our little pool.
Since my boyfriend was away in training camp for a week so I did a lot of house cleaning, ironing, laundry washing all while watching Spanish TV channels and trying to pick up as much as I can of the language (I really hope I will be able to speak it properly one day since most of Spanish people here do not speak any English).
After house choirs I decided to get back to my workout regime and I started bodyrocking again (I tried it before based on my best friends Anita reco and gave up quickly) this time I am sticking to it. The trainers name is Zuzana and only thing you really need is to be motivated enough and to have a little pink timer for the exercises, I just ordered mine. Can't wait to see the first results, after one week I already can feel muscle pain and my body getting tighter.
Bellow you can find a list of my last weeks posts mostly related to us moving out of the hotel and moving in our new Barcelona apartment {lines of life} with first photos of our apartment. I also wrote a post about one of this FW 2012. season most noticeable trends - sweaters {lines of passion for fashion}.I am particularly opinionated about picking a comfy sweater, so check out my selection!
