BALENCIAGA F/W 2010

I am in LOVE with the NEW Fall / Winter collection By BALENCIAGA.

From the Geometric to the collaged effect of the prints, to the different uses of texture and the elegantly used components of Fur. The different techniques can easily be adored by a wide audience, due to the outstanding originality that the collection holds.

The shoes for this seasons showed: block-heeled stilettos and brogues with the soles encased in chunks of plastic. It has taken innovation and the future of new futuristic designs.

I adore the creativity that has been taken and added into these new silhouettes to do unfamiliar things. For example experimenting with creating “wings” in the backs of many dress and using collage prints of different fronts of writing to generating a new fabric look. They push the boundaries of shapes, by creating triangular paper-printed tops, which can easily be paired with skinny jeans, emphasizing the direction of shape.

The fashion techniques displayed can be questionable on the issues of wear-ability in certain garments, but what is fashion without experimentation. If you have the talent to offer something new, then were else better to express it than in FASHION.-★

PHOTO-SHOOT DUO, YOU THOUGHT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!

This year the music industry added a unique raw talent discovered on the worldwide broadcasting website, YouTube. After being recognized by R'n'B master Usher, the Canadian born talent, later signed a record deal in 2009. The new teen heart-breaker JUSTIN BIEBER has been popping up all over the entertainment world and has got the whole universe "BIBER CRAZY". With his show-stopping sweet melody and ever cute skater boy style, he is defiantly stealing the souls of many teenagers... as the tabloids are observing, everyones got "BIEBER FEVER".

For this Months issue of ELLE MAGAZINE (U.S.A Addition), the pop sensation is seen alongside glamour star of the Los Angeles hills, Kim Kardashian. The both were both spotted in The Bahamas while shooting by the paparazzi, which got a lot of fan's sending hate mail to former Reality TV star Kim. She later on said in an interview with US Magazine.com, "Remember those paparazzi pics of me and Justin Bieber in the Bahamas!? Well, I can now reveal that we were shooting for Elle Magazine! I just received the pics from the shoot and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!"

I really liked the whole composition of the shoot and the way in which both Justin and Kim, set the rumors straight. The photos show two friends just having a great time, and both of their different personalities are well defined in all photography's.-★

PHOTO-SHOOT PICTURES:

A look INTO MY WORLD !

I wanted to make a post on some of my personal health tips, lifestyle survival guide and my product essentials. I wanted to give my bloggers and insight into my world and to consider the elements i try to stick by in order to live a balanced life.

DIET CHART:

I’m more or less a vegetarian and I believe that it is important to intake a wide amount of fruit and vegetables everyday. Throughout the day I snack on fruits, while taking in protein from other foods like nuts and eggs. I believe that the most important meal of the day is breakfast, I never leave the house without indulging in a warm bowl of muesli. Good food is power to the brain, giving a positive start to my day.

HANDBAG ESSENTIAL:

Underneath all my bag clutter of my wallet, phone, iPod and papers, is my lip balm. An essential item that I am never separated from Burts Bee’s pomegranate lip balm is gentle and nourishing for your lips with a shine. As well as a Lip balm, i always make certain that i have a natural lip gloss that works great all day long. I don't believe in a women to mask her face with make-up, i consider the best make-up a women can wear is a Smile.

HEAVEN SCENT:

For my everyday I use the fresh and light ‘Rain’ by Marc Jacobs. I have fallen in love with YSL limited edition take on their vibrant ‘Elle’, and for those special occasions i love to enjoy the luxury Fendi’s scent of ‘Plazzo”.

A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future-Coco Chanel

BEAUTY RITUALS:

For me it is predominantly important that my skin and body are both at a high standard before I can embellish them in expensive products.

I try to oil my hair every 2 to 3 weeks, using a mixture of almond, Dabur and coconut oils. Due to my sensitive skin I moistures well with aloe vera and tea tree creams, making sure that only natures finest touches my skin. When dealing with your skin, it is essential to only use the purest content.

FITNESS REGIME:

I try to workout four times a week, making sure my body and mind is focused and ready for my week ahead. I try to vary my workouts between vigorous gym sessions, yoga classes and swimming. Exercise is not just strength for the body, but also power to the mind. I take my health very seriously, and constantly make sure that my weight, body and mind is feeling on top.

And last but not least, MY one and only BIBILE and ESSENTIAL to all latest FASHION needs and what i consider the BEST FASHION PROVIDER to THE WORLD!-★

Antonio Berardi

This seasons many designers are experimenting with different techniques in order to shock their audiences. I really love the detail that ANTONIO BERARDI, has created in this dress. I love the embroidery on the back, the way in which from a distance looks like it has been created on the flesh, and the use of the powerful red colour, both elements, defiantly compliment one another. He has taken a simply design, and completely transformed the back of it. When displayed on the runway, i can imagine the crowd gasping effect it would of head. This creative design feature is one of the examples that has made Berardi, standout amongst other designers in the industry, he is constantly being recognized for his visual effects. Back detailing is a new seasons trend to what out for.- TREND ALERT!

DESIGNER'S PROFILE:

He was born in the UK in 1968, and studied at the famous fashion school Central St. Martins. While studying Antonio worked with the legendary inspirational man of couture John Galliano’s, as his assistant.

His first collection designed in his final year as a student, in 1994, attracted the attention of many London buyers including Liberty. He launched his professional collection, the nest season.

Much of Berardis original inspiration came from the collision of cultures he is apart of, being a proper British Sicilian, and graduating from the London school in Savile Row.-★

STATEMENT COAT'S

STATEMENT COATS are this Season must-buy!

You would think with Autumn Winter arriving, a coat would be an item of clothing that would be high everyones shopping list, But this seasons it was displayed that fashion designers such as stella McCartney, Gucci, Celine, MaxMara and many more all opened their shows with a coat.

This seasons shows a range that has drifted away from fantasy fashion and more towards functional fashion for the everyday women. Many of the Coats for this seasons are shown to be on the masculine side, clean cuts, sharp tailoring, fur and dominant button designs. The way in which you wear your Coat is important to the whole look of your Statement Coat, make sure you rethink your outfit making sure there is no overpowering bag, bold jewellery and unsightly hemlines, conflict.

The idea is to throw on your coat and for it to transform your entire look, making you FEEL and LOOK amazing. While settle for just one coat this season, when there is so much out there to get your hands on. - ★

CHANEL's New Autumn/Winter Make-up Collection

I'm loving CHANEL's New colours for Autumn / Winter!

Make-Up: CHANEL

Chanel has launched their new collection of make-up with a wide selection of metallic influence. Their MUST HAVE 3 nail shades for this seasons are from the ‘Les Khakis de Chanel’ Collection, ‘Khaki Rose’, 'Khaki Vert' and 'Khaki burn'. Motivated by the vintage, honeyed gold he found on the icon's lipstick tubes, Chanel's Global Creative Director Peter Phillips created a range of radiant, pure gold shades, mixed with traditional winter neutrals to complete the line. (Available to purchase in stores August 25th)

This season is about experimenting with paring colours together to add more of a dramatic effect. The way in which Chanel's approach to the classic French Manicure is shown to highlight the tips with black, rather than the classic white, and a golden base. That’s why I LOVE CHANEL, it reminds us to be sophisticatedly dramatic, letting our inner fashion fever shine.-
