Fashion Collab: Target + Peter Pilotto

the only fashion collab's i've been interested in have been DVF for Baby Gap (and I didn't buy anything cause I have no kids) and Versace for H&M. Oh, I think Maison Margiela was another I really liked but for 1 piece in particular which was sold out once I decided to stroll in by at 11am.

Target is by far one of my favorite places to go for home goods, beauty, and bathing suits. I've seen their small Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu and other designer collabs but I never bring myself to actually buy them.

But I think that will change on Feb. 9th. British brand, Peter Pilotto’s signature bright prints and patterns will update my tropical closet as it's surf-inspired collection will work for work and evening affairs in the sunshine city.

I'm not exactly sure, but I've been reading that the price points are under $60 / $80. Mark your calendar: Sunday, Feb 9th @ Target.

perhaps like how bulls are turned on by red...i am turned on by pink?

therefore, here are just a few more PINK items that should be IN my closet.

A scent from the botanical gardens of Balenciaga Paris, inspired by the woman who is beautiful but dangerous. An enchanting fragrance composed of a green accord twisted by an exhilarating note of juvenile freshness.

Clothing Report: Spring Jacket

it's been a while but i've been applying to jobs. however, i still have time to stroll around Soho after my interviews. i walked into a vintage store on Prince; i'm not a big fan of vintage but i found this colorful striped MARC BY MARC JACOBS jacket for $200 (damn! i wish i had a job!) and then i walked around to LF to check out their Jeffrey Campbell shoes and Rebecca Minkoff bags and found myself trying on another jacket. is my body telling me it wants a new jacket? lol i actually don't have a spring jacket nor a jean jacket...i'm actually not a big blazer/jacket fan all around. however, i did score this orange oriental/matador SHANTALL LACAYO jacket ;) but this jacket is for a night out. i think i might need an everyday spring jacket. so here are my 'dream' spring jackets. 

{btw i googled the MARC by marc jacobs jacket, it sold out on Net-A-Porter and the Outnet for a final discount price of $144; Name: Jacquetta Stripe Jacket; fuchsia and orange striped twill jacket with transparent organza panels and white trim}

SHOP jackets at ShopBop.com or Net-A-Porter.com

Trending: Clear Accessories

it's officially spring in 2 weeks ( but it feels like 2 weeks till summer in nicaragua ) and it's about time you update that closet! at least i did over the weekend ;) i wasn't able to find transparent pumps but i guess i'll just have to look for them on my upcoming summer trip to nyc because these shoes are too hottt! i've been craving something transparent since the Clear Crystal Prada collection in 2009/10. They kinda remind me of my transparent pink 'Xuxa' jelly flats and transparent white purse from Payless (hey! I was only 7 years old, Payless was awesome!) 

However these Marc Jacobs' ($595) and Sergio Rossi ($663) pumps are a lot more grownup, fun and sexy. Would you kick it back to the 80s?

I also found some clear sunnies on Net-A-Porter by Rag & Bone ($370) and Prism ($375).

Jessica Alba was recently spotted sporting a pair of oversized wayfarer sunglasses with cool transparent frames.

MoodBoard: August 2011

I've been trying to post the most I can - I actually have a lot of ideas but when you back home (pack your two year Italian & New Yorker life in 3 suitcases) and are still trying to settle back into your third world - your mind goes crazy, culture shock perhaps?

Anyways, here's my August 2011 mood board influenced by my 2 favorite Resort 2012 looks, D&G's StarStruck Fall 2011 collection, paparazzi shots of what we will see in the following season of Gossip Girls, my Nicaraguan designer Shantall Lacayo, and 2 random prints - Middles Eastern/Central asian by Bokja and Fall's MUST HAVE Snake by YSL.

Now I am going to brag about Shantall - First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to my girl for debuting her amazing Fall/Winter 2011 collection "LATIDOS GREEN HEART" in Nicaragua and for appearing in Harper's Bazaar Argentina edition and CNN Español. Her latest collection can be best described as sensually mystic. Just think, walking through the undiscovered rainforests and rivers banks of Nicaragua and living an episode of the Discovery Channel's "I Survived" - you become the wet swampy leaves, mossy trees, and ferocious jaguar - you ARE nature, you ARE the animal. The collection is overwhelmed with high slits, seductive cuts, 'alligator spiky skin-like' details, dramatic draping, and Shantall's trademark pleats in diverse fabrics.

Shantall Lacayo's creations can be found at boutiques Portel Nous (Argentina) and Ponte Vecchio (Nicaragua) or at her atelier showrooms in both Argentina and Nicaragua.
