NEW IN :: CELINE ESPADRILLES


Good morning, Everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! I just wanted to share a few images of my latest obsession, i.e. Celine platform espadrilles! I've been eyeing them for some time now and when I tried them on at Barney's last week on a particularly cold and gloomy day, I figured these were the best gloomy-day cure I could find:)! Aside of course from the bright orange color, I love the comfy platform. You know me, I definitely prefer heels over flats and this platform is seriously the best option if you want to be comfortable but still get a bit of a lift!

VIVALUXURY x MEJURI JEWELRY COLLECTION

VivaLuxury Mejuri Jewelry Collection, Mejuri hite Velvet Collection, The Girl With A pearl
They say every great dream begins with a dreamer... Those of you who've been with me from the very beginning, probably know that aside from starting VivaLuxury, my greatest dream in life was to design a jewelry collection. Well, I can hardly believe it but my dream has come true and it is with great joy I am excited to unveil my Capsule Collection for Mejuri jewelry. 

My relationship with Mejuri began over year ago with a short little email. Of course, at that time I couldn't possibly imagine what a profound effect an email could have on my life. At that time, all I knew was that I felt an immediate connection to Mejuri jewelry and the company esthetic in general. Over time, as our relationship progressed, we've come to realize that not only was our esthetic incredibly similar, we also shared a passion for jewelry and design and so, we began thinking about collaborating in a more profound way and a capsule collection just felt like a great pace to start.

When I began thinking about what I wanted this collection to be, I realized that for me, design is incredibly personal. And so, I felt it was very important to create a collection that truly reflected my personality, style and esthetic. In the end, the idea that inspired this collection the most, was a certain duality that is inherent in my personal style. On one hand, I love elegance and femininity, on the other, I am equally attracted to sharp, clean and slightly edgy silhouettes. To capture these seemingly opposite aspects of my sartorial personality, I decided to combine classically elegant pearls with modern, edgy, geometric settings. Something else that was incredibly important to me when it came to this collection was quality. Both Mejuri and I believe in the importance of combining unique and creative deigns with lasting materials, which is why all of the pieces in this collection are made from precious materials like vermeil on sterling silver, fresh water cultured pearls and cubic zirconia stones.

We spent the next few months working closely together to design a unique and creative collection, the hardest part of which was not being able to share every little detail with you guys:) The end result was a collection of 7 pieces designed to be worn layered or separately, day or night.

The experience of working with Mejuri on this collection was absolutely incredible and the feeling of seeing your ides come to life just indescribable! Honestly, I still have to pinch myself overtime I look at the collection because I am so happy with the way it turned out. My only hope is that you guys love it as much as I do... :)

You know my motto when it comes to jewelry, the more the merrier! I can't help it, I am borderline obsessed with armparties. Usually, I start with a bracelet or two and maybe a ring and keep piling on until it feels like I can't add anymore:) My hubby even coined a term for this, he jokingly calls it my "like you robbed a jewelry store" look. Normally, I just smirk and roll my eyes when he says this, but from time to time, when I for some reason feel the need to justify my style-related decisions, I try to explain that layering jewelry is a girl thing, and that's the way it looks best:) He responds by nodding and pretending to agree with me, though secretly I suspect he actually does, but just enjoys making fun of me. Evidence to support my suspicions? Well, it's plain as day... layering is the only way to wear jewelry! Right?:)

DETAIL ORIENTED


I guess you can call me detail oriented because I firmly believe accessories make or break an outfit and transform the look and feel of an outfit like nothing else. Take today's dress for example, or cover up if you will,  ( though I honestly think it works as a dress just as well ). Paired with cute flip-flops and a beach tote, it is a perfect day-at-the-beach option, of course I wanted to wear it in the city. So, to dress it up a bit, I opted for a pair of high-heel ankle-wrap sandals, a cute cross-body and lots and lots of layered jewelry. 

Since no one was pointing fingers and asking why I was wearing a beach cover up in the middle of the city, I'd say my mission to transform it into a dress was quite successful :) What do you guys think?

JUST JEWELRY


You can blame the nose ring on the Dylanlex necklace because something about it brings out my inner rocker chick... and suddenly, all I want to do is put on my studded leather jacket and boots, layer statement jewelry and wear septum rings :)

NEW IN: MICHAEL KORS GREENWICH SATCHEL


Just couldn't resist the urge to share a few things that are making me very happy at the moment! By  a few things I am of course referring to bags, shoes and jewelry, but you already knew that, given my profound accessory obsession:) 

The thing that is not making me very happy at the moment is the weather. Yes, I know, considering that February in California tends to be warmer than pretty much everywhere else, I can hardly complain. And yet, .... here I am complaining:) After freezing in New York, I was kinda hoping LA would greet me with some warmth and sunshine, but instead it's been gloomy, rainy and cold. Essentially, we've been enjoying the kind of weather that in no way signifies that Spring is around the corner and I am oh so very ready for Spring! 

So, in an effort to chase away my February blues, I've been indulging in some serious Spring shopping and I have to say that the results have been most satisfying:)

This year, my Spring shopping started with an item that is always at the top of my Spring/Summer must have list, i.e. the white bag. Aside from color, what attracted me to this MICHAEL by Michael Kors Greenwich satchel is the contrast black interior and of course the shape! I love structured bags, but when they also happen to be a perfect combination of polish and laid back ease, I find them completely irresistible! In fact, I find them so irresistible, I am considering getting another one, since it comes in a few different colors... The only problem is that I can't decide between the raspberry and blue. What do you guys think? Raspberry, blue or both? :) 







MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS Greenwich large saffiano leather satchel in optic white & black, Edison leather brogue, pave gold-tone knuckle ring, gold-tone trip-stack ring, pave gold-tone arrow open cuff, pave gold-tone bangle & pave and logo gold-tone bracelet set 

Special thank you to my bfs at MK! Love, love, love my new Michael Kors swag! :)

Thank you for reading

LOVE,

BLACK N' WHITE


Good morning, Everyone! Hope you're all having a wonderful week! 

If you read my blog on regular basis, you probably know what a complete and total shoeaholic I am!  Though I love clothing, jewelry, bags and other accessories, my weakness for all of the above pales in comparison to my obsession with shoes! I can honestly say that I can shoe shop all day, every day! Seriously, not exaggerating one bit!:) 

Having said that, not all shoes are created equal. Shopping for basics or necessities, if you will, doesn't usually get my juices flowing. Since for some inexplicable reason I have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to shoes, what gets me really excited is details, interesting shapes, colors and fabrics. To put it simply, anything but plain, please:) 


Which brings me to the pair I am wearing in today's post. Abundant in details, I love the scalloped edge and the elegant heel! But honestly, it is the black and white pyramid print that makes them one of my absolutely favorite pairs ever! So, I hope you don't mind seeing a lot more of them in the future:)
