ZADIG ET VOLTAIRE | PFW

zadig-et-voltaire-8resized

Magical Paris! How I miss you so! I was in town with the lovely ZADIG ET VOLTAIRE team for Paris Fashion Week, and they definitely taught me the ropes to being Parisian. Rule 1: Never brush your hair. Rule 2: Smoke cigarettes at the Louvre in the Paris sunlight. Rule 3: It’s totally okay to wear a beret and French kiss. Rule 4: Drink wine until you pass out. Just kidding. But most importantly, have that je ne sais quoi. Zadig Et Voltaire is a brand I’ve loved forever. Their rock n’ roll aesthetic always drew me into their lair. The rock studded boots, feathered hats, and leather overalls. For the show, I went with this stardust maxi and fur vest. Dark, and just what I wanted to slip into the night in along the quaint streets of Montmarte. Blending in so well for their runway show, which also doubled as an underground nightclub complete with guitars, leopard couches, and extra strong liquor. The theme of the night was GROUPIE. Babes who can wear star-studded bras and oversize fur vests to a gig. Smudged eyeliner and all. All I can say is: I’M WITH THE BAND MAN.

LIGHT VS DARK

Today is all about this little photo set featuring my two favorite people ever. Photographed by the amazing Dylana, and featuring jewelry by the best babe in town, Sabrina SL. Two freaking amazing girls, and two of my best friends. We played with what was left of the sun that day in my apartment and did what we love to do best. Take photos. Sabrina arrived with this slinky little nude dress in hand saying “wear this”, and with the halfly shut blinds in my place as the day comes to a closure, we discovered Light vs. Dark. Because we all have those feelings.

“Light . . . airy, innocent, fresh. Dark . . . sexy, smoldering, intense. I think every person has full access to both sides within them, no matter how much they show themselves to be on the exterior.” -Dylana Suarez

When I’m with the people I love, the people who make me laugh, and totally at ease, I discover my Light side. Unable to stop laughing or catch my breath. But we all have those dark moments, no matter how perfect life can be. There’ll always be a shift in balance. Dylana is the Libra. She is the closest thing to balance in my life. She’s like the roof to my house. Stability, my rock. Shielding me, comforting me from my inner storms. Sabrina is my Aries. Passionate, extremely emotional, but a quiet one. She doesn’t really need to say what she’s feeling…we can see it in her eyes. She’s a mother, so her strength and loving grace always makes me feel safe. I’m the Scorpio. We have the ability to hit the extreme, handling things in the most cautious and tip-toes of ways. A powerful emotional force that guides what we do, what we see, how we deal with Light vs Dark. And it’s exactly how our wildest, darkest of thoughts, racing 100 miles per second, finds light. I release it through a song, a photo, and a really good friendship. We can’t have our light without our dark. So let it loose.

MISS AMERICAN DREAM

During fashion month, the bigger your pants, the BETTER. It’s all about going a tiny bit overboard with your ensemble, without looking like you even tried. Truth be told, I had these babies pinned, tucked, and fitted with the Tommy Hilfiger team only hours before the show just so I could have that effortlessly perfect baggy pant that hit the floor juuuust right. All American denim. Oh, so perfect. Tommy’s shows are always one of my favorites. This time the Park Avenue Armory was transformed into the ultimate football field. Reminding me of those high school days on the bleachers…waiting for half-time, eyeing your secret crush, in your school’s sweater and the shortest of skirts you own. Oh, coming of age!! What a nightmare. But with Tommy, babes made their way down the catwalk in oversize leather jerseys, russian hats, and slinky pleated minis. Imagine walking to your high school’s football game looking like THIS. If only our teens were really this chic.

BURBERRY KISSES

burberry-kisses-2resized

I am always on the prowl for the next best lipstick, and I’m already obsessed with the new Burberry Kisses. So pucker-up worthy! The Brit label never ceases to amaze me, especially in the beauty department. The collection of 28 shades is so effortless, easy, and totally kissable. Here, I’m wearing my 2 new favorite shades. Nude Pink No.05, for it’s natural, fresh look. So chic against the light grays, and whites of my wardrobe (hence this stunning fluffy Burberry coat!)  And you know how I love a good deep red! Oxblood No.97 is a must-have. It’s a deep red shade with a purple undertone that flatters literally every skin color. It’s the fact that they’re made to have buildable color that has drawn me to this collection. I’ve discovered that I can just lightly dab on the color for a stained lip look. The second swipe gives me a richer shade, and the last swipe gives full-on bold, LET’S PARTY color. It really does feel like second skin, and it’s all about lightweight layering. The lighter my makeup is, the better I feel.

Burberry Kisses lipstick in: Military Red No.109. Nude Pink No.05, Oxblood No.97, and Rose Blush No.89
