THE FASHION ADROIT

Playsuit

April 11th, 2013 | Diana

No reason to suppress the fact I can go days, sometimes a whole week, changing up the same outfit. I call it performable investment. A whole weekend of efortless outfits please!? I am attached (haven’t taken off this playsuit for days) to this Balenciaga playsuit. It’s one playsuit that just keep on giving!

Balenciaga belted jumpsuit worn throughout

First outfit;
The Row jacket | Céline bag | Valentino shoes

Second outfit;
Isabel Marant shirt and shoes | Céline sunglasses

Third outfit;
Balenciaga leather top and tiara | Manolo Blahnik shoes

leather + leather + plaid

March 26th, 2013 | Diana

Céline leather jacket (similar here)| Alexander Wang leather vest | Dries Van Noten trousers | Christian Dior shoes | Céline handbag | The Row X Linda Farrow sunglasses

Once the perfect 24/7 outfit is reached, a feeling of completeness takes over me. As much as I am still growing into prints, plaids have always been close and dear to my closet collection. But it was within splits of second the joy was taken away. If cameras do add 10 lbs., mine, clearly adds 30lbs.! Jenner, can we make some money here?

PFW day 3

March 12th, 2013 | Diana

The Row jacket | Zara (very old) dress | Alaïa belt and boots | Céline clutch and sunglasses

PFW day 3?! The title here should’ve have been; #ZARA #EMBARRASSED #CONFUSED!
I have major internal conflicts about what I stand for in regards to Zara.
During Paris Fashion Week, I wore Zara. “What were thinking???”_ That is my subconscious screaming in my head every time I get recalled of myself uncomfortably answering a “GOD knows who street style photographer” that I was wearing Zara. My brain froze, stop it, considered lying and just spoke the words very fast, while I was already walking away.
Here is the breakdown of the conflicts :
1 – I absolutely love Zara! I spent so much money there last year; I could have gotten 2 more Dior dresses.
2 – Zara knocked off half of Céline (Dries, Givenchy, Balmain, Saint Laurent, and so on) Spring collection! OMG, they are so nasty!
2 1/2 – Nasty but with a 22 billion profit last year. That says something right?!
3 – Hey, I am always in black. I will never be photographed outside shows; unless I am Emanuelle Alt. I am allowed to wear Zara.
4 – You have a closet full of designers, what is really necessary to wear Zara? During Fashion Week?
5 – There is no way I am spending 3k in this Saint Laurent jacket. Zara has one just the same.
6 – Look at that blogger, how dare her seat in the front row wearing a look like from Zara. I am shocked!
And to end it … just for right now!
7 – As long there is no rehab for Zara addiction, I have decided to live in limbo!

Changes

January 31st, 2013 | Diana

bomber jacket, Stella McCartney | blazer and pants, The Row (old, so I need this one now, and similar pants here and blazer here) | sneakers, Miu Miu | belt, Zara (old too, God I need new clothes!)
pumps, Stella McCartney | bag, Céline

It has been a long while since I did an outfit transition from rose wine to vodka red bull. From drunk to drunkerrrrr. “Work” to dinner. Casual to these heels fucking hurt. … I can keep going on and on and on, specially cause I am writing under the influence_essss! 

The temperature over here or around where I am in these days _ not premature menopause; it is like a broken thermometer. With 10 to 15 degrees up and down within minutes, I am slowly leaping to spring. I am sending clues to the Gods I am so over this cold weather. It is helping!

I am sure you are very aware of my unconditional love for my The Row leather trousers. Yes, the one in the picture of me above, the same one I wore at least in 3 posts, including the previous post (here, here, and here). Can you believe it is from The Row Fall 2010 collection? The Olsens first runway show, if I am not wrong?!
Oh my, how these leather pants still in somewhat together, it is a secret that still remains. I wear them at least once a week. It even got peed on it once, … maybe twice?!
To the point, my beloved pants found her way to GRAZIA.IT along side some other leather love bloggers. So here, go check it out!

Unfortunately, The Row doesn’t make my leather pants anymore, so I found similar ones here and here. Trust me, I knew it was going to be it since 2010, go get yourself one?!

Thanks GRAZIA.IT and Erica Baldi for the great article.

Givenchy esteem.

January 23rd, 2013 | Diana

Givenchy boots (booties version b&w here and black here) |
The Row leather trousers (similar here and on sale here) | Christian Wijnants shirt

I love being vulnerable; Givenchy allows me to get to that place season after season. I have a huge appreciation for the romantic but yet strong pieces Givenchy delivers. And I am in an endless shopping spree for all Givenchy to be added into my closet. Givenchy conveys me to feel untouchable, confident, alluring, powerful, intoxicating, audacious, indomitable … Ok, I guess you got it! But regardless, I still could not get myself to approach Ricardo Tisci last September to thank him for such a complete, in my point of view, possibility he keeps creating for me. At that moment, sitting at Hotel Costes patio on a table next to Ricardo, my creator, all the strength went away to a weak place I had not met yet. I am positive I still will run into him again. I am still going to have the opportunity to thank him for creating the perfect feelings, but this time I will be very aware that my words will come from a very strong weak place.
Now, to all it matters in this blog. How staggering are these boots?
I couldn’t help the necessary to get those as soon as the Resort collection was presented. I was even angry Kim Kardashian gotten hers before mine arrived. Thanks to Kayne, otherwise she would still be in bandage dresses, 160 mm platform pumps and holding sparkly crystals clutches.
However, if I have not inspired you yet? I hope Kim delivers you the Givenchy esteem.

Chalayan Sweater

December 15th, 2012 | Diana

sweater, Chalayan|   leather trousers, The Row  (similar here and here) |  clutch  and  pumps , Céline  |  bracelets, (left hand) Givenchy , (right hand) Givenchy  and  Damir Doma  | ring,  Alexander McQueen

This is exactly what I look like when I roll out my bed hungover! (And prior to my blow dry appointment!) Most of the days, I have no time to get myself pretty and ready. In desperate times like this, I find important to have easy and good clothes to rely on it.

It’s no news a great black leather trousers is a must in my life. But let me tell you about this sweater … DEVINE!!!

Now tchau!!! Running late for lunch with Evangelie … Please let it have a pitcher of Bloody Mary waiting for me!?

Easy Outfits

October 29th, 2012 | Diana

After a week of filling your mind with how fabulous you can be with one single shirt, I have decided that it’s time to show you some really simple but amazing everyday looks. After all, that is how I look during most of my afternoons. My days consist of waking up with my daughter calling my name from her room. I go to the kitchen to get Maddi some milk. Pellegrino and cold La Scala Spaghetti Bolognese for myself_ #hungovercomfortfood! While Maddi watches tv, I check my instagram (which has become my new internet obsession). Together, one of us, “patiently” waits for Maddi’s princess nanny to step down from her tower. Once I am freed up, Moda Operandi is on! Followed by Net-a-porter, The Corner, Farfetch, and all the other great websites I always direct you to. Then, I blog the previous days shoot… Bye, time to get ready for the day.
