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: Pink & Red

 

Nicaraguan Stylist, Norma Gomez along with celebs, Helen Mirren, Malin Akerman and Molly Sims are the latest fashionistas to keep the Valentine color combination right into the summer 2012. From Still Going Strong on SJP back in September 2011 with Prabal Gurung Fall 2011 and a trend report from last summer that also included 2012's color of the year, Tangerine Tango - Pink & Red are still the front runners for the color combo that keeps on giving. Have you tried it?

Essentials: Spring Break 2012

My beach / Spring Break essentials definitely include short shorts, extra large beach tote, fedoras (yes, multiple fedoras) and tanning oil bronzer! Shorts, just like trousers can easily transition into a hot outfit just by adding a long simple necklace or fringed necklace and wedges - with an excellent tan and cucumber moisture before heading out for some salsa dancing, there will be no need to cake makeup on. Where you heading this Spring Break?

Side Note:

It's pretty amazing how art, music, design, and fashion all wrap into one or in this case, end up at the same event.

Fashion Stylist and Boutique Owner, Mariu Lacayo's mother - Mariu F. de Lacayo was the former manager of Ponte Vecchio and has been a noted artist and fashionista.

  Maria Reneé Perez's son is sneaker-holic, DJ Killa Ka5 - who's also gifted in graffiti art.

Designer, Vicente Castellon was also spotted at the event and is also highly-recognized by his drawing skills from his fellow peers. In fact, Castellon hails from a family of artists as is designer, Shantall Lacayo. Vicente's father is a fountain pen drawer and Shantall's father is a well-known artist, Julio Quintero and her mother, Lauren Lacayo runs her own art gallery, Génesis.

 

My mother and award-winning abstract artist, Alicia Castrillo is definitely a risk-taker and loves color. Therefore, I've been trying to convince her to pull off some bold color-blocking and she did..raspberry red and arctic blue.

Did we inherit the artsy fashionista gene?
