Paris Fashion Week: Fall 2013 Couture Favorites

As I usually do during my favorite Fashion Weeks, I have collected what I consider to be the best designs from Fall 2013 Couture (so far). 

I have a lot of favorites so go grab a drink or get some popcorn because you're about to spend quite some time scrolling down!

Armani Privé

Bouchra Jarrar


Chanel


Christian Dior


Giambattista Valli

Versace

I am also completely obsessed with Versace's shoes, and did you notice the mint colored lace-up shoes by Giambattista? Amazing.

summer, fishbowls, sunglasses, jelly beans

It just hit me that it is summer, that I won't have to do any more school work for a while and that all I have time to do now is relax (oh, don't you love that word?). I have so many great expectations for this summer. I am completely overwhelmed. I love that feeling. If I keep talking about all the things I want/plan to do I'll write a whole book here, so I better stop before I extend myself. 

On this post I am wearing a shirt that I love and wear more than you would actually think. This is my go to shirt when I don't know what else to wear in my closet. My favorite part about it is that it looks like a soccer shirt (or at least I think it does, even if my friends say it doesn't) with cutouts on the shoulders. 

I am also wearing a ring that I consider some serious piece of art. It's a little fishbowl with a fish swimming in it and some plants. I was looking for some glass terrariums to decorate my room and instead found ring terrariums and ring fish bowls. All the rings created by Gold Finger look like there is real life inside them. You just can't not fall in love with them.

shirt: can't remember, shorts: old, shoes: Zara, jelly beans clutch: We Were Warriors, sunglasses: imoimoi, fish bowl ring: Gold Finger

Check out some of my other favorite rings from the Gold Finger: the mini farm ring here, the hen ring here, and the swimmer ring here. They are so creative and interesting to look at.




On another note, what do you think about my sunglasses?

Warby Parker Meridian Collection



I am always out on the look for good pairs of sunglasses. I may have mentioned this before, but ever since I got my Lasik surgery I find sunlight very overwhelming during the summer. I used to never wear sunglasses until I realized how important they are to keep your eyes healthy.

I don't own many pairs of sunglasses, but when I buy a pair, I like to invest on timeless designs that will last me through the years.

I am really happy to announce that our friends from Warby Parker are launching the limited edition Meridian Collection today June 25th. The collection features three new frames with an Aviator shape, named after their favorite disruptive writers: Frederick Exley, Ellen Raskin, and Flannery O'Connor. I already have my favorite Meridian pair, the Raskin Jet Silver. They are timeless, and the blue lenses add that touch of modernity to them.




 If you live in Boston you can head in to their store in Newbury St. and check it out! If you don't, then you can check out their website here to find the location closest to you, or you can see the rest of the collection on their website here.

Let me know what you think of the collection;)

pinkest sugar and blackest spice flower crown

Quick post before I head to Phantom Gourmet Beach Party. I thought this flowery post would be a  perfect ending to an awesome weekend and a great beginning to a new week.

This flower crown seems so real that it gets lost amongst the rest in the bushes. It is so feminine that you don't need to wear any make-up with it and look super chic. I added some red lips to make the scene a little more romantic. 

flower crown: Crowned by Flowers, top: Zara (many seasons ago), skirt: Mentirosas

Didn't have much time to write this post, but I hope you enjoy the pictures!
