Packing for Paris Fashion Week

September 21st, 2012 | Diana

As I am so over New York Fashion Week. _ And thanks to MODA OPERANDI, already got my Marc Jacobs Mickey Cropped top and pleated skirt. Still want this shirt, coat, “dress” and jacket. Oh help me please?! I also got these dope Alexander Wang gladiator sandal boots, remember?! I can consider myself content, for now. _ I find myself watching as many runway shows life streams as I can. London Fashion Week had several highlights for me that won’t be forgotten. Milan Fashion Week started yesterday, just as I anticipated Prada rocked my world again. Is impressive how every season, every runway show, every garment; Prada always make me feel like I am teenager again, going on a first date with the boy I have liked for years.
Well, I conclude it is a must to talk in details about all that went down in London and what’s happening now in Milan. And I will, as soon as a get packing for Paris out of the way.
Different than packing for business/vacation trip; the matter here is over a week of outfits for the best fashion shows, the best parties, the best restaurants, and a the common possibility of weather changes by the hour. So a smart packing list for all seasons of the year, without over packing is challenging. But do take in consideration I will be shopping in Paris.
This is what I am bringing with me, plus my second skin.

grand days

The best part of New York Fashion Week this time around for me was Soho Grand Hotel. Besides the drop dead gorgeous, young and happy staff. All night (and week) long loud parties. The incredible fast and delicious food from in-room dining. _ The hotel not only is on the heart of Soho, is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and it provide me with the best view of the city.

I still don’t get why my husband is so resistant to idea of moving into a hotel. I think I will totally be happy leaving at the Chateau Marmont, even at the Four Seasons. Listen, we only live once. Let’s grab this opportunity and make it happen. No, I am not delirious. He is the one that asked me to call for towels after two days we were already back.

Ok, I am getting away from the subject here. This is one of the outfits I was wearing during Fashion Week. The pictures were taken at the elevator of Soho Grand. I am going to miss that place!!!

Givenchy Roittweiler t-shirt, Marc Jacobs plastic skirt (not similar; but here, here, and here good ones too), Manolo Blahnik lace up shoes, Céline handbag (good choices here and here), Erickson Beamon necklace and Westward Leaning sunnies

black trash

June 27th, 2012 | Diana

Net-a-Porter’s trash (no, not really!), my treasure! I love when I find awesome undesired designer runway pieces on sale. The reason I find this Marc Jacobs skirt beyond amazing?! _ honestly, the man can drape. Darts upon darts, ruffle upon ruffle, and voilà, a gorgeous skirt! And it is made of plastic. It totally looks like a trash bag, doesn’t it?! I will wear this skirt forever and ever. In love with my bargain piece.

I never had time to shop on cyber monday. I have been having too much fun. Dinners, nights out, clubbing, hangovers, … and no time at all. So now I am sick. Typical!!! With all this time on my hands, I decided to venture out and actually check out lots of websites I never care too much for it.
I have found out Ssense.com has amazing stuff, and now they are having a sale sooooo worth spending the money. Most of their items are editorial and runway pieces. The ones that sell out fast and gets hard to find. The way I see it, good stuff you can wear now (let’s be honest, Winter haven’t even started) and years from right now. So go on a shopping spree that you won’t regret.
Here are a very few items I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE…xx

1. Alexander McQueen 2. Lanvin  3. Fallon  4. YSL  5.Hussein Chalayan  6. Lanvin  7. 3.1 Philip Lim (my fav) 8. Marc Jacobs
9. Dannijo 10. Alejandro Igelmo  11. Mulberry  12. Givenchy  13. Alexander McQueen  14. Carven  15. Alexander Wang
