Get Dressed!

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

One of my favorite things to do is get dressed up. I love it! I love picking out the perfect outfit and accessories, I love styling my hair, I love spending an extra long time doing my makeup, and I love how I feel when I’m ready to step out for the evening. Being the quintessential girl that I am, my go to party look generally revolves around a fabulous dress. Dresses are my favorite! I often envision owning a massive walk-in closet just for my dresses with a big pink neon sign over the entrance that reads “Get Dressed!” Did I mention I have an over-active imagination? Half way through party week here at LAMA, I thought I would share some of my favorite fab dresses. I have a whole pin-board dedicated to the subject that I encourage you to check out. There you’ll find links to all the dresses you see below. I hope they inspire you to get dressed!

On the Fashion Front: Ponchos!

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

When I was a little girl, my mother’s aunt from Ecuador knit me a pink poncho that I was completely smitten with. It had fringes and strings around the collar with little pink pom poms hanging off. It was gorgeous! I wore it constantly. I even used to tie it around my waist and wear it as a skirt when it was too hot to wear as a poncho. Yes, I invented boho-chic years before Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were even born! (Unknowingly, of course). So, I’ve been super jazzed to see ponchos having a huge fashion presence this year. In my search for the perfect Fall sweaters, I keep coming across ponchos! You can be sure I’ll be sporting one this Fall/Winter. Check out some of my fashionable favorites.

Pesqueira

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Lately I’ve taken a little break from home decor and started spending a lot of time scouring the internet for great fashion. After a bit of a hiatus from fashion, I would say I’ve definitely been bitten by the bug again (even though my daily wardrobe these days consists of v-neck tissue t’s from J.Crew, a pair of skinny jeans, my favorite brown cardigan and Rainbow flip flops).  I know, cutting edge.

My internet search turned up the adorable Buenos Aires based shop called Pesqueira. How I managed to miss this charming little shop when I was in Buenos Aires is beyond me. From their website, to their photography and (obviously) their clothing, Pesqueira is just spot on. In their own words, “PESQUEIRA is an argentinian fashion label which clothes, classic & modern everyday-use are sold by many respected retail outlets worldwide as Takashimaya/NY, Le Bon Marche/Paris, Ships ltd/ Tokyo. The company was founded by designer Valeria Pesqueira in 2001. Pesqueira tm develops a line of fashion clothes with a reputation for high quality materials, bright colors and exclusive kawaii print designs.” I know where I’ll be shopping next time I’m in BA! Here are some of my favorites from current and past seasons. Enjoy!
