A Little Rio Love

I can't wait for the day that I go to Brazil. The fashion scene must be amazing. From evening wear to bathing suits and back, the designers know how to dress and the people know how to wear the looks. So of course, I'm presenting a variety of collections and designers from Fashion Rio Spring 2007 in Rio de Janeiro.





I love the regal royal blue of this outfit! This outfit by Mara Mac is absolutely stunning on this model. I also love that it's a dress and a bit of a jumper as well. This off the shoulder look is definitely sexy. With strappy heels or wedges, this is perfect for an outing!





I love this goddess effect and will definitely look for this designer. I love anytime there are natural elements that assist to enhance the outfit. It's amazing that this event took place outside in a beautiful building.





I am all about swimwear and loved the pieces by Salinas' both the picture above this text and the one below are created by this talented designer. Of the two images, I have to say that I love the one below. The model looks amazing in this suit and I wouldn't mind having this within my own collection.






Tessuti's design with the belted cover up over the bathing suit is simplistic and elegant at the same time. I love the neutral tone with a little kick in it. This sems like the perfect ensemble to wear in your cabana with a few friends.





Grace Ottoni's beautiful dress caught my eye and made me remember one of my favorite Barbie outfits at the same time. The outfits are nothing alike but I will share anyway. There was a Barbie entitled "Peaches and Cream". This dress was my absolute favorite - I loved that it was a ball gown with a sheer flouncy body from the waist down. I loved twirling my Barbie and seeing the dress spin out. I always felt I should have a dress like this. The dress above isn't Peaches and Cream but it's a sexy Tangerine Gift! I love how it ties in back and begs to have seriously strappy heels to pair with this. How perfect would this be with a clutch - I love it!





You can never have enough bathing suits and fortunately, designer Cantao agrees. I love this bathing suit which looks like something you would wear to an exotic, out of the way Fiji or Bali resort. I love how relaxed and laid back this suit looks. Sometimes you don't have to have all the flash (although it's always nice).

A Pinch Here and There

Sometimes it's nice to have a little pinch of this and that brought together. Here we have a little something from Bosnia, Beirut and then back in NYC to an exhibit.





I have definitely gotten into prints and mixtures of color. I love this piece here which is perfect to go out on a beach for a night out with friends and a small party. This look elongates the leg and begs for very cute shoes. This outfit was designed by Bosnian Serb designer Dusko Orascanin. This show took place during an International Fashion Week entitled Moda Fest earlier this month.





I love the pop in color that's found within this outfit which hit the runway in Beirut earlier this month. Lebanese designer Tony Yaquob definitely knows how to accentuate the body in this outfit. I have to say that the top is amazing and I would love to have it within my closet. The pants are also perfect for the summer as well.





At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, "Poiret: King of Fashion" was on display. As many of you know, I am all about accessories and bringing in vintage looks. I love these headpieces and definitely hope to continue to see elements of this look as people look for ways to bring a bit of the Old World into the New World.

Topshop Hits the Runway

TopShop is a boutique in London (there is another one in the city as well in case you don't have your passport ready). I believe that this show took place during LA's Fashion Week at Smashbox. I love the pieces that appeared on the runway and definitely had to share with all of you of course.



I love the white dress seen here. This is great in so many ways and can be worn to work, out to an event or just with your friends for a night out. It's simple and I hope it travels well because it would be a staple in my wardrobe wherever I went.



I love this peachy dress, it's cute and I love how it wraps around the neck. This is perfect to wear in the Hamptons or anywhere that's a little resort like. This is the first thing I would wear to my weekly brunch as well.





The model wearing this dress looked so cute that I had to take a second thought on this dress. Although I personally would not wear it, it could be cute. Also, I would pair large accessories with it since I am a fan of proportion. This is cute to run errands prior to going to a gallery to visit your friend's work or even on a date.
