The Chloe “Drew” it bags

“Drew”  to Chloe bags

The French fashion house, after Karl Largerfeld, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo and Hannah MacGibbon, carries on the luxury tradition with Clare Waight Keller with creations made with feminine elegance. Chloe is capturing us with her new designs in the bag world. For this Fall, we are falling in love with her new line Drew.  The design of the current collection is new, but at the same time familiar, because it’s a shape and a style that we all have selected to complete an outfit. It has a vintage touch and at the same time its easily fitted with formal and casual clothes.  It’s multifunctional and it is worth the investment. I love how the golden hardware dominates the design – expressing its reason for existence, which is endless luxury. Crafted with calf leather, a strong and durable material, it’s certainly a one-time investment, and it’s forever yours.

In honor of the Christmas Holiday season, Chloé is introducing a range of limited edition bags, small leather goods, sunglasses and jewelry, all available in stores from mid-November. Each item has been exclusively designed to represent the symbiotic association between the ateliers’ craftsmanship and the rich charisma of the holidays. Take a look of the limited items.

This is also a very interesting and cool conglomeration of drives and motives, primarily presenting as the combination of minimalism and futurism. So first of all it’s about the monochrome arrangement of looks, patterns like stripes, lines, circles, sqaures, cubes, and the irreplaceable prints creating some optical effects. It’s a trend for women and men…. Jackets, dresses, skirts, blouses, coats, capes, shirts, pants and gowns, capture our sight with their interesting and futuristic designs.

Capturing designer gowns #5

Femme fatale elegante!

Every women wants a red- carpet moment and she does deserve it. For some of us, that moment is our marriage. There are women who constantly try to seek the opportunity to get a selfie by wearing something unique and dazzling. Remember, you have to own what you wear, or else there is no difference than wearing you jumpsuit. As you see there is more than predictable strapless mermaid gowns, for this Fall.  Designers including Nina Ricci’s Peter Copping, Mary Katrantzou, and Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci spiced things up with long dresses that were subtly (or not so subtly) sheer. They almost looked like tattoos on the body. See through rocks the gowns and shows the best of your body, giving a hint of skin, so that your sexuality will come to the surface.

Jean-ious looks for the fall #3

She is a maniac..with jeans

Besides chocolate, jeans are the second thing that women and men stay in the same page! It’s a fact that if you try to find a wardrobe without jeans, you will never do. We are addicted in denim, despite our age and our sex. Why is that? Just think all the times that someone called and you had to be there in 10 minuted looking casual and chic at the same time and not sloppy ( that would be if you decided to go with your jumps). It’s an all day experience witch will put you on the fashion map if you decide to take your look to the next step. For this fall and winter the jeans still are boyfriend frienldy, but they spice it up. Distressed, moto and patchwork are the new it jeans…take a look and make it work.

Layering in necklaces #6

Put your necklaces into layers

Pin up your plain t-shirt, with an interesting move. Buy different kind of necklaces, or pendants, simple, fancier, with pearls, diamonds or crystals and start putting them in layers. Layering necklaces totally throws me for a loop. I find it to be one of the hardest fashion skills to master, so in a somewhat self-motivated move, If you struggle with the skill as well, scroll to check out a breakdown of the components of five well-executed layered looks and everything you need to replicate your favorite combination. Take a look of the looks…they are chic, stylish and inspire us…!

The leaf is a trend that we still love to match it.

Inspirational pattern mix #2

Print it up!

Mix it and try to find your perfect matches, so you will lanch a unique look. Large shapes, blury patterns, vivid color inspirations. Don’t over do it though. It’s easy to become from a fashion it girl…to a fashion not girl.  Dries Van Noten mashed up trippy, op art motifs; Marc by Marc Jacobs revved our engines with BMX-inspired graphics; and the Kenzo and Proenza Schouler teams featured frenetic patterns that pulsed like electronic dance music. Feel free to rave on.

Knitting factory #3

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen raised the bar with The Row’s prodigious cowl-neck top and skirt; Michael Kors whipped up fisherman’s cardigans with matching nubby scarves; and Phoebe Philo accessorized Céline’s ribbed looks with luxe mink muffs.

The colors for this Fall #4

Color fusion for the Fall

The bitter Polar Vortex that barreled through New York fashion week was enough to get anyone down. Good thing that designers packed the runways with such unexpected, vibrant hues. Joseph Altuzarra’s wrap coat ushered in pink and green as the color combination of the season, a look that gained momentum in Paris at Dior and Balenciaga. Purple, fuchsia, maroon, cobalt, emerald…the colors that blend in with our fall outfits.
