The Print Prince of Florence

When I was in Florence, I couldn’t help to but think about Emilio Pucci who influenced us so greatly with his punchy prints. The French Riviera beaches would lack luster if wasn’t for Pucci’s printed bikinis dressing up our South of France beauties. The house has gone through so many changes from the 50′s and [...]

Florence, Italy

What a breathtaking city! I love Florence and spent two years of my life there to study fashion and absorbing all of its history and charm. The city’s monuments, museums, parks, and gardens are extraordinary and the famous Ponte Vecchio makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time. For an artist, designer, historian, or [...]

“Paris Fashion Week”

VINTAGE EEL SKIN BAG, Valentino Heels, VINTAGE PONCHO, 1910 LACE VINTAGE TOP, pants Zara, and VINTAGE [...]

The French Touch- My Favorites

Paris Fashion week has finally arrived and all the shows so far look amazing! There is such a powerful presence of womanhood seen at Louis Vuitton that one can’t help to think that fashion will take a turn towards femininity again…saying goodbye to the 90′s and go back to old fashioned glam. Lanvin this season [...]
