drawing room: the power you have over me


you don't know the power you have over me,
you make me lose sight of my own reality;
I feel I could do anything...
even fly..

Balmain

Prabal Gurung


Lately I've been digging this chick's style.. and how could I not if she's been wearing one of my all time favorite designers: Balmain!
The dress on the first photo is just amazing, I uploaded some photos of spring 2012 collection a while ago and chose only my favorite looks, of course that dress was there. And the second Balmain outfit is really cool too, check out the details on that jacket, the print, the entire ensemble seems edgy.

On the last photo she's wearing a Prabal Gurung design and I just love the colors all mixed up together.. and those sleeves are fab!

the look: nude

Peaches Geldof wore an all-nude outfit to the launch of Gold Nelson Mandela House in London.
I love that she's wearing one color from head to toe, love the maxi, love the crochet cropped top.. love that she paired it with black accents. Awesome isn't it?

And on another note.. I'd like to announce the winner of my first giveaway..... (drum roll)... congratulations to Karlita from The Purple Bow!.. expect an email soon!
Thanks to all the girls who entered, I will be hosting more giveaways later on, featuring my exclusive designs. Stay cool!

drawing room: I need a super tall tree

Ever feel like everything's going too fast and you'd wish you could just stop it all and sit far behind... look at things from a distance.. relax... breathe.... think about what you're doing and analyzing if you're doing it right.... That's how I feel now.. I wish I could just pause for a moment, climb a super tall tree and stare at everything and everyone until my mind clears up again and I'm recharged to keep going.. I need this... I need a super tall tree.

P.S. Last day to join my giveaway.. tomorrow I'll announce the winner!

neon night










(dress and necklace made by me, BCBG shoes)




I made this dress a while ago, wore it during a week-end I spent in Ensenada, Baja California with some friends this summer.




I don't think I'll get over neon colors any time soon.




Last days to join my giveaway!

currently working on...



I've been working on a lot of dresses lately... it's graduation season and a lot of weddings take place in september and october here in my hometown so lots of girls have been coming to me in search of a dress.

These are some sketchs of what I'm working on right now... A lot of them want a bright color that will pop out of the entire party.. vibrant green-blue, electric green-yellow, coral, deep blue... what color are you into right now?

Don't forget about my giveaway!

channeling the late 60s



(dress made by me, leopard print clutch made by me, vintage jewerly, forever 21 rings, H by Halston platforms)

I made this dress for the launch party of a new magazine where I'll be collaborating as fashion editor. I was feeling the late 60's vibe and decided to go for a liz taylor/diana ross, one shoulder drapped dress... I did my make-up Twiggy's style and wore huge platforms... totally groovy!

markus lupfer

I love how designers have been thinking outside the box lately and searching for new ways to show off their collections, rather than sticking to the usual commercial ads, they've been busting their asses off to innovate in the field; an applause to all of them. They surely caught my attention and I'm sure they'll catch yours as well.

I just found a fashion short film portraying Markus Lupfer 2012 resort collection while checking up the Some kind of Style blog, which is awesome btw. You must see this video, the retro feel is amazing, the clothes are cool, it's fun and it features Florence Welch!

drawing room: unicorns


you like to see me wear stripes like the prisoners do in jail, you want to keep me trapped inside your little mental games..
























(wearing a striped top made by me, H&M skirt, forever 21 rings)

I don't know if you noticed but I sort of shaved one side of my head... I wanted a different look and went for a less drastic Alice Dellal hair do.

drawing room: driving around

what to do when you can't keep that person off your head?.... why does he keep driving around my mind's avenue?!

giveaway


Hello dolls,
here I am, as I promised.. hosting my first international giveaway...

The prize?.. a black see through top I made for my Back to the Future Collection... hope you like it. The fabric's super stretchy and soft; it shows a little bit without revealing too much... I actually loved it and have sold plenty of them.

The only thing you need to do is follow my blog and leave a comment with your size and email so I can contact you in case you win. The giveaway will end in two weeks; on the 25th and the winner will be chosen randomly.

Good luck!

This is a photo of the runway look with this top. Browse my lookbook photos HERE!
