Fashion Reflex: It is the comfort season.

Posted on by

Every once in a while, we deserve to throw our selves into a pile of comfort, meditative state of body and mind. Surrounding ourselves with comfort, softness, happy colors, and lots and lots of warmth.

I am not a big fan of fur coats to be honest, but they just feel incredible, they keep me warm, they make me feel romantic, and rolled with love. Fur coats not only feel good, but they look best with evening gowns! I find it very difficult to fit a suitable coat over any gown when wearing to a wedding or any formal event. But I do love fur scarfs and fury blankets, and I mostly like to feel warm all the time in winter.

When shopping for fur, shop it right, and shop it before the very cold winter, find the color the suits you, and find the design that fits you. Here I have selected my favorite fur items from the fall winter 2014/2015 collections from designers like: Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Fendi, Gucci, J. Mendel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Sonia Rykiel and many more.

Fashion Reflex: Falling in love with blues this winter.

The color blue has been dominant for few years now, and it is only growing on the runway and on us. Feeling blue is not a good feeling at most times; ironically, wearing it makes you stand out. There is something about the color blue that I just admire, it is very serene, and yet very attractive. It is different but very natural and it brings out rose cheeks and lips. I couldn’t resist the following blue outfits and decided to share them here today.

Photographs are all from the fall winter 2014/2015 collection by designers like Alexis Mabile, Iceberg, Jill Stuart, Karen Walker, Lela Rose, Osman, Richard Nicoli, Stella McCartney, Chloe and many more. All photos are from www.style.com

Fashion Reflex: Getting back to your classic self.

Posted on by

It always starts somewhere, in what ever it is; there is always the classic, without the classics we have no base to return too. Everything starts with an idea, an idea that is first implemented, then liked, and then we add our own additions to it.

In fashion, we always have the classic block, the classic cut, the classic pattern; we take it and improvise on it.

From time to time, it is nice to get back to your very basic essence of yourself. Touch base with the real deep self; observe your changes, your sensation, and your soul. Even your basic self, your classic self is different in its own way, so bring it out, show who you truly are in in the minimal way possible, show your classic self, be who you truly are.

Classic cuts, can vary from one person to another, there is one basic for each one of us, here are some of my favorite classics for this winter showing pictures from www.style.com Fall Winter 2014/2015 from designers like Comme des Garcons, Dolce& Gabbana, Hermes, Jil Stauart, Karen Walker, and Pringles of Scotland.

Fashion Reflex: Fabric matching is a form of art.

Fabrics are super beautiful, and mixing the right fabrics together will only create an art piece. It is like creating your own textile; trying different types or colors together, creating a new painting, and expressing. We are all different because we all like different things and we lead a different life, different aspiration, interest and different personalities.

The best part about standing out is going for what you long for, and not what everyone else has on. You are who you are because you are different, and that is what makes you beautiful. Cherish your differences, and everyone else will cherish the artist you have in you.

Below you will find outfits that are made from different fabrics mixed together. All pictures belong to www.style.com and include designs by Phillip Lim, Diane Von Furstenberg, Leonard, Missoni, Miu Miu, Narciso Rodriguez, Nicole Miller, Valentino, and many more.

Fashion Reflex: Earth is one thing we all have in common… Let us dress in earth colors this season.

Without us, earth would not be the same. Without the earth, we cannot survive. We belong to the earth and the earth belongs to all of us, it is what we all have in common, it is where we eat from, where we live on, what we breath from. We are inspired by what surrounds us and earth is the very first source of inspiration.

Most of the time, I like to walk barefoot and feel deeply connected with earth. When I get the chance, I enjoy walking barefoot on soil. Earth is what I long for when I need time off, when I need to recharge, or get inspired. I usually choose to travel somewhere new, and connect to the nature within the place I am traveling in.

I decided to choose my favorite earth color outfits from the fall winter 2014/2015 ready to wear collection and share them here. There is something very warm about the green and brown colors mixed together, they give me the feeling of comfort and serenity.

Fashion Reflex: Dress up and Dress with love for the holidays.

December is my favorite month of the year; not just because I celebrate my birthday right after Christmas, and right before new years no ;), but also because I feel it is the perfect time of the year to celebrate my accomplishments and to prepare for what is there yet to come.

Look good for yourself, look good for your loved ones, and shine because you have counted all your blessings for the year 2014 and you are grateful for them. Celebrate in any way possible, join family and friends for dinner, organize your own dinner, a small event of live jazz, do something you have always wanted to do, and do it for yourself. Buy gifts for your loved ones, shower them with love, remember what they have all shared with you this year that is worthy to remember, give back to those you didn’t have the time to give back to, and remember to always share your love.

Here are my favorite dressy looks for this winter; maybe you can get inspired to what to wear for your festivals, events, gatherings, or dinners. Have a wonderful month of December; fill it with love, beauty and aspiration.

I never sit and wait for winter, and I can’t imagine people who do. I mean don’t get me wrong, I do love winter, but I am a summer person and I just love enjoying walking around with a light t-shirt or a dress on. In winter, all I want to do is wrap my self with heavy layers of fabric to keep me warm. Therefore I never wait for winter, it just comes, and when it does, I need that one big coat.

So here are my favorite coats from this season, you will find in my selection variety of cuts, colors, and fabrics and style that I find beautiful, but what suits you is what is most attractive to you. Take a look at this fall winter 2014/2015 latest collection by designers like Alberta Ferretti, Chloe, Dsquared, Hermes, Josie Natori, Lanvin, Rabih Kayrouz, Michael Kors, Valentino and many more.

It is finally the time of the year, when it is almost dark all the time where ever you go. I must confess that black is one of my very favorite colors in my wardrobe during wintertime, and I never need to worry about explaining why am in black from head to toe. It is just simply sexy, and it always looks good!!

Mixing and matching different shades and fabrics of black is my secret recipe to transforming my outfit. We all know that Coco Chanel has something to do with all in black look for woman, and today we thank her for that. Black is timeless, and can be worn at any occasion and at any time.

The following photographs are from the Fall Winter 2014/2015 ready to wear collection dressed in everything black for designers like Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Donna Karen, Elie Saab, Haidar Ackermann, Jason Wu, Mara Hoffman, Monique Lhuillier, and Salvatore Ferragamo.
