Bloody Nails


The latest color trend for your tips this fall season is Oxblood! The deep red hues are so sexy...

Keep your nails short and square or long stiletto tipped, both styles look fab with this color. 

Prabal Gurung had his models rock the runway with oxblood nails in a drip affect, which looked ultra cool.





Your pout will also need a bit of Oxblood. This shade looks great with a understated eye and a prominent lip with just the right shade of oxblood.

This fall its all about vamping up your look ladies...

Jewelled Goddess


Whats sexier than making an entrance with a beautiful headpiece or exotic jewelled accents on your tresses.

Headpieces have been on trend for a few seasons now and its definitely a statement piece for all your holiday galas that are to come.

The poster child of this look is Nicole Richie, her House of Harlow line has some amazing headpieces that are not too bold.







I also adore having beautiful textured gold jewels on my hair, especially with a fish scale braid. This gives a more ethnic and exotic flair to your look.

Both styles of hair jewels are extremely flattering and the perfect accessory for your beautiful locks ladies...

Untouchable Taste


Lapo Elkann is a man of style plain and simple...

 Lapo Elkann is a New York born Italian entrepreneur, but besides his business ventures his impeccable taste is what has created most of the buzz.

Gentlemen take note, this is how great style is done. We can tell style is something that comes easily to Elkann, simply by the way he puts his looks together. Every single ensemble is done organically nothing is forced. 








From his cream double breasted blazers to his classic pocket scarfs which are a must in most of his looks, Elkann sticks to pieces that are versatile.

Another take away is the cut of his suits, their slim nothing is over sized. All of his pieces are fitted, accentuating his masculine frame. 

Here is a man with a style that is truly untouchable..

My Funny Valentine

Jazz great Chet Baker had James dean looks and chops like Sinatra...

Born on December 23, 1929 in Yale, Oklahoma. His career catapulted with his hit  "My Funny Valentine", playing both jazz trumpet and vocals. 

The tenderness in his voice would poor out in every tune he would sing, he had women falling in love with him all over.







With his unmistakable voice, Chet toured throughout Europe and many say some of his best work was from 1986-1987. 

Right around the same period Bruce Weber was doing a documentary on Baker. The film was based on Baker's turbulent life  and career.

Unfortunately, Chet plunged to his death in 1988 after falling from his hotel window in Amsterdam. Leaving the world of jazz, Chet Baker is still recognized by many greats in the music industry.

Keep it Handy


Hand chains have been one of my favorite jewelry pieces lately. Either dainty or bold and dramatic, both options look great. 

Hand chains look best when they are textured gold, this gives it a more vintage look which we all adore.

 Designers like Rachel Roy and  TOPSHOP carry a great selection of hand chains. However, when wearing a hand chain that is bold stay away from any other statement piece jewelry, this can cause an overload of statement pieces. 





If you haven't already purchased one, well you must. This is one accessory that is a must in your case of jewels.

Clockwork Orange


Stanley Kubrick's film Clockwork Orange made major news when it first hit theaters in  1971.The wardrobe of the movie was quiet distinct as well.

The rambunctious characters referred to as the Droogs, which were dressed in off white attire. The wardrobe consisted of  slim white pants, white suspenders and of course let's not forget the black derby hats. 

Costume designer Milena Canonero created a very specific look for the movie, influenced by the punk era in London.







Clockwork Orange has created a cult following. Even today people are imitating  Alex and Dim two of the main characters attire.

One my favorite editorials is the spread  L'UOMO Vogue did, depicting specific scenes from the movie. This spread gives us a high fashion look to the world of the Droogs...
