Nail Colour of The Week

Hi People!
I just had my nails done, and loved this colour. Ming, from Chanel, is a light pink shimmery shade. It's so feminine and cute, hope it lasts for a while.

Sorry about the terrible BlackBerry pictures, but I didn't have my camera on the salon.

Diane Von Furstenberg

A very known fashion stylist Rachel Zoe recently interviewed designer Diane Von Furstenberg, right after her NY Fall 2011 Ready to Wear Fashion Show on February 13th.
Her Fall Collection,called "American Legends" was in no way minimalist.
Here is one of the looks from this season that shows her use of prints and color.



Here is a little insight into Diane's world and the chaos of NYFW:

RZ: Growing up, who were the people who inspired you?
DVF: My mother was and has been the most influential inspiration in my life, mostly because she taught me that 'fear is not an option'.

RZ: What started with your first iconic wrap dress in the '70s is now a global luxury line...in your own words, how has the DVF woman changed from then to now? Where do you see her going next?
DVF: The DVF woman has always been very individual. She's always in the driver's seat...active, seductive, and above all confident. When I first started my career it was the time of women's liberation...all was ahead of us!! But women are women and somehow not much has changed.

RZ: How do you prepare for the insanity that is New York Fashion Week? What is your favorite part?
DVF: I usually prepare by doing a lot of yoga. Fashion shows are so useful because they force you to edit and to present a collection in a concise way. It's a presentation to the press and to the stores that sell your clothes...it is so exciting!!!


RZ: I have personally looked up to you throughout my entire career, and now many of my Zoe Report readers do too. What advice would you give to any of them who are planning for a profession in the fashion industry?
DVF: Be confident!! The industry is growing and new, young talent is emerging, but fashion will always remain a mysterious thing...it reflects the contemporary period you live in, the mood of the time, the way people want to project themselves, it's ever-evolving...

New York Fall Winter 2011 2012 Fashion Week 2

After an entire day reading on twitter how extraordinary Marc Jacobs' show had been, I found some time on my senior school girl schedule to go to VogueParisLive and see what one of my favourite designers had come up with this season. I must say that the first looks didin't captivate me much, but as any great artist, Marc gave us a blast, a sparkle, what made me remember why I love creations so much.

I'll post some of my favourite looks here(not as many photos as on my last post).

 

 As seen in Jason Wu's show as well, the polka dot tights are a must have for winter.

 All this texture is just too perfect for me, the diferent kind of lace is making me go insane here.

 Want all this coats, please Brazillian summer, go away and never come back.

 My favourite look from the show, absolutely divine!

Looks of The Day

InStyle.com has daily looks they pick of their favorite fashionistas at the best fashion and culture events. I have chosen three of my favorite looks from my favorite girls to display. As Rafi focuses on Fashion Week, I will look elsewhere to inspire you !



Alexa Chung: Black and White at Barney's
The oversized blazer goes perfect with the little black shorts and the striped heels, the blue clutch gives it a splash of color! So chic, so loving it !



Whitney Port: All black and leather.
From her days of The Hills, and then her own show The City, Whitney's style has always captured me with its simplicity but chicness. Although rough biker look, the leather jacket and boots are very appropriate for ending this winter warm and in style!



Leighton Meester: Giambattista Valli, Olive and Black Minimalism
We can't forget Queen B! Every Monday night, as I enjoy my hour of Uptown Drama on the CW, Blair never fails to surprise me with impeccable style! Real life Blair, Leighton, adds python heels to her Valli look while at an interview at Apple's Soho Store. Are we in love?! I think so.

Hope you enjoy the looks,
Will be back soon with more inspiration!

New York Fall Winter 2011 2012 Fashion Week

As we already know, New York Fall Winter 2011 2012 Fashion Week is going on, and I selected some of my favourite looks to show you here. So far my favourite shows were Jason Wu, Ruffian and Wes Gordon. Also liked very much Luca Luca, M Patmos knits and Steve Alan's preppy looks.

Jason Wu

I'm sorry about the many photos on this post, but I really couldn't choose to pick just a few, all pieces are exquisite! Simple cuts, ravishing texture!


Ruffian

And Wes Gordon, whose idea to make the models look as though as they were sculputures in a museum is amusing!

The three shows were my favourite for a simple reason, I love lady like looks, and the classic meets boyish looks incredible here.
You can find the complete fashion week looks on style.com or on Vogue Paris Live.
Xo, Rafi.
