WINTER LOOK#1

Do I wear skirts? Not really! But I love dresses, especially 10 cm up the knee, knee length or long. I always mix the dresses with some jeans, designed leggings or boyfriend pants. When I was a kid ( 14-18 ), I always had a different look for each semester and from where I come from, you dont do that. But anyway, I loved my age from 17 to 18 years old where I was a "cool hippie". I wore dresses on top of pants. The pants or leggings should be mid-leg length ( spring summer ) and the dresses should be special or have a subliminar message. I loved this one dress I had where I had a full printed anime character wicking at whoever would pass me by. Of course that the doll did not represent myself fully since I was not flirty but very much the opposite, very very bitchy attitude. Ahaha teen times, you gotta miss them. Of course then I tried the real world and I had to drop the bitchy lines. I only use them occasionaly, when needed of course.
Anyway guys, I present you my favorite winter look, long dresses/skirts and normally draped ones. If is too long you can always make a knot on the front, sides or back. Its a killer look! You can mix it with a leather rock chic jacket and some flat boots and you're out the door and if you really want, you can accessorize the look with a "charlie" hat or a long minimalistic necklace!Enjoy!Here are some pictures to get you inspired.

CHANEL FOREVER

Chanel aka Gabrielle Chanel was the woman who changed and saved the world of its corsages, etiquette, men expectations towards women etc. She handed a whole new fashion perspective to women and thank you very much for that. Then came Karl Lagerfeld, equally genious and brilliant with Chanel and its own fashion label. Brrrrrrrrrilliant Karrrrl!

ON THE OTHER SIDE...

Press is what makes the world spin. I was for 3 days on the other side and I absolutelly loved it. Fashion Week is just addictive, you are always curious of whats going to happen next, so you are in and on top at all times looking for the 'scoop'.
Press has an amazing power over people so I noticed it and specially when a fashion show is full of celebrities and very influential people.
I was at By Malene Birger's fashion show. Wow that was one of my favorites, from show to show, the public was always diferent but at Malene's it was just overwhelming.
Singers, actresses, wealthy and super elegant people dressed in their best gowns and stopping for the photographers on the red carpet...Lots of Moet and sponsoring magazine Elle for the guests. This was Malene's show athmosphere.
Intimidating though. I felt a bit underdressed and after 8 hours and lots of rain, the few make up I had was gone, but hey, I didnt mind and I felt right at home.
One thing Im not good and Ill never be which is having the camera always ready, so every time an actress would stop to be 'shot' I was in another world, so I had to ask them again to turn towards me...embarassing but hey im no photographer or pappy... :)
And when I say best gowns means last model, couture ones. And the shoes...Uh la la. Another dimension, im telling you..
