VMAs 2012

I know it was several days ago, but I've been very busy with my thesis and other stuff.  Anyways, I  want to share my Best Dressed from the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Born in the 80's

The 80's fashion was kind of scary, but there is a trend we can still 

rescue: the PEPLUM.  If you don't have a curvy body this trend is 

perfect for you.  The distinctive flirty ruffle will create a flattering 

silhouette that you will love.  So there is plenty of options to choose

among dresses, blouses, jackets and skirts.  Although the peplum 

trend was big on spring, it seems like will be sticking around for the 

rest of the year.

Bow at First Sight

The past weekend I went shopping with my sister and cousin. Walking through stores, while in JCPenney, this Decree metal bow ring caught my eye and it was the last one.  Of course I bought it and also paint my nails Zin Red, from Sally Hansen, just to show off my fave new ring. There is something so feminine and timeless about bows that I adore. 

Hair bows became popular during the Victorian Era (ruled by Queen Victoria, 1837-1901) and the Edwardian Era (ruled by King Edward VII, 1901-1910).  The Victorian woman seldom wore a bow in her hair, but if she did it was usually black or another modest color and in small size.  The Edwardian Era was more fanciful and a woman would wear bows of different colors and sizes, some being quite large compared to today bows.  During this Era, manny upperclass women and little girls wore hair bows as fashion accessories. 

Still today, bows are a trendy item and we are lucky we can wear them not just in the hair.  Blouses, necklaces, rings, purses, shoes are just few of the items that we can wear to complement our style.

MTV Movie Awards

On Sunday, the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City California was the stage for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards. As usual, a diverse group of celebrities walk down the red carpet showing off their style. Some of them bring it while others I'm still trying to comprehend!  The more casual and edgy looks distinguish this awards and here I share a glimpse of what stand out in the red carpet.

Sunny Summer Ahead

June is around the corner and that means sunny days to enjoy at the beach. Although I can do that at any time of the year, cause I live in Puerto Rico, many people from other places have to wait till summer to enjoy a beach day. With that in mind, here I share a variety of bright, stylish and affordable swimsuit pieces that will let you look fab while the waves or the sand surround your body.

This Memorial Weekend

Anna Wintour's A-List

On May 7, 2012 the A-listers showed up at the Metropolitan Museum’s annual Costume Institute Gala in NYC; the world’s greatest red carpet.  In this event, also known as the Fashion's Oscars, celebrities dare to take risks in the name of style.  They all pass in front of fashion decision makers such as Vogue editor Anna Wintour and an exclusive group of fashion designers and models. Some of them hit it and others miss it. Here I share my favorites and the not so much seen at the museum's new exhibition "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations".  Enjoy!!!
