Places: MET Museum: Punk: Chaos to Couture

Sunday Funday at the MET with Shantall and Nazira. Although we got there at 4:30 (MET closes at 5:30 on Sundays) we were able to enjoy the short exhibition. Compared to the Prada / Schararelli and McQueen exhibit this one had few captions, therefore we were able to enjoy it at a faster pace and in 45 minutes. The Prada / Schararelli and McQueen exhibits took me 2 hours to complete. Punk: Chaos to Couture boasted Vivienne Westwood, McQueen, Givenchy, Gianni Versace, Yohi Yamamoto and Maison Martin Margiela to name a few. My favorite hallway was definitely the 'Hardware' hall featuring Dolce and Gabbana and Gianni Versace.

The Met's spring 2013 Costume Institute exhibition, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, will examine punk's impact on high fashion from the movement's birth in the early 1970s through its continuing influence today. Featuring approximately one hundred designs for men and women, the exhibition will include original punk garments and recent, directional fashion to illustrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear borrow punk's visual symbols.

Personal Style: Masculin Feminin

I was just about to type in - never have I ever posted a personal style post or picture but in fact I have! My very first post for this blog was about Interview looks and I post 3 different looks by my friends and I when we were on our way to a Pucci interview in Florence. Its been a year since then!! I don't post personal style pics up for many reasons, one being I am not sponsored by any designer or store therefore I have a very limited closet and prefer not to bore you or myself with my same jeans, black tops, and sandals. I believe I am a pretty simple girl when it comes to dressing - I may have an eye for fashion but I a not a stylist. However, last night when I was headed to my weekly sangria night with the besties, I wanted to try something new - alas Masculin Feminin! I got a few stares when walking into the heavily packed Galerias restaurant area but I felt gooood! oh yeahhhhhh! I think I pulled it off all by myself - (well not all by myself) the pictures below definitely inspired my look. Oh! I was also finally able to do a fishtail!! yeyyyy! Even though I have blogged and posted a video about fishtails I was never able to do it right!! But now I got the hang of it :)

I hope these pictures may inspire someone too :)

Trend Report : Pink Red Orange

One of the most beautiful things we are given every single day is the sun...sunrise or sunset...its spectacular, breathtaking, and vibrant - I've seen the most beautiful sunsets at San Juan del Sur (Nicaragua) and Ibiza (Spain). This time last year, I was lucky enough to see a couple in Ibiza and later this month, I will be lucky enough to experience it every single weekend at San Juan del Sur.

I love color! I love summer! I love loud! .... This summer has been filled with neon yellow, orange, Prada color-blocking, Stella McCartney fruits, and super glam flowy sixties gowns and trousers... so why not continue enjoying it? NYC is back to a manageable high 80s weather and Resort 2012 looks are already popping up. Wear to the beach, wear in the city...don't go dull on me just because stores are already selling Pre-Fall (ugh).
