Bilbao

Considered to be one of the most monumental structures in the world, the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao is jaw dropping.

Frank Gehry is the architect behind the masterpiece and his vision is breathtaking.

The design of the building is done effortlessly, with arches coming out of all angels  throughout the structure highlighting just the right amount of light.

The panels are reminiscent of fish scales, which gives it a unique touch and it is located alongside the Nervion River.




If your ever along the Basque countryside in Spain , Bilbao should be a definite stop.

It is one of the most visually stimulating buildings I have ever seen and it is a must see for everyone.

Fur Era

Fur can surely revamp any ensemble you have on, from your evening cocktail dress to a casual day out.

Switch it up with a  fur hat, coat, cape or even a vest, to give it a more bohemian vibe.

If your worried about looking to boxy when wearing your fur vest, just accent it with a skinny belt.





I always stick to my vintage fur ushanka hat when I feel I need add a lil fur trimming to my ensemble and it's the perfect touch...

But don't overload by dressing in fur hit to toe, you want to keep it minimal.

TRIBAL ENVY

Print is a hard trend to carry off, if your not much of a risk taker when it comes to fashion. But the tribal print is a favorite amongst many and looks great on any age...

I love it when the print has a mixture of beautiful vibrant colors combined with the Navajo prints.

Stick small accents if your not ready to take the plunge yet. A structured mid size clutch is perfect or a peep toe tribal printed bootie is also a great choice.





Some Designers to look out for  Gareth Pugh, Michael Kors and Roberto Cavalli. These designers are known for having tribal print pieces that are to die for !

NEWTON

Helmut Newton was definitely the type of fashion photographer that raised the bar..

His style was very specific, mostly sticking to black and white photography with a hint of tastefully done eroticism...

Newton specialized in fetish driven photography, his portrayal of beautiful statuesque women in sky high stilletoes and heavy makeup in immaculate locations was his fortay...




Newton died in 2004 due to a car crash outside the Chateau Marmont hotel, however his legacy of  beautiful work lives on...

Red Skin

Dare to go red with leather ...

Red leather gloves are definitely an eye catching accessory.

LaCrasia and Carolina Amato are two design houses which consist of some amazing gloves...




Add a pair of red leather gloves to your LBD or just pair of skinny cargo pants and cape for the fall.

I love it when your gloves hit right at the elbow or right at your wrist giving you a very lady like 50's vibe.
