The Minnie Mouse icon

This season, the press is mentioning it, talking about it, it's all over. I am talking about the "Minnie Mouse wanna be".

This is an homage to the world wide known icon. Many designers stepped up by creating different pieces related to the Disney face.

Here is a list of the designers:

-Giles

-Michael Van der Ham

-Richard Nicole

-Piers Akinson

-Bunney

-Husam El Odeh

in collaboration with

-Luke Hersheson

-Katie Hillier

-Lulu Guinesss

-Tatty Devine

-Terry de Havilland

Minnie was born in the 1920's precisely 1928. Her look inspired many of us. Her bow, her polka dots and graphic colors is found everywhere and for all ages (hair style included!) 

There was a fashion show in London called :

"The Minnie Mouse must-haves". The purpose of that show was to collect the money for a program named Bazaar fashion art foundation.

I, myself own a Minnie mouse sweater and I feel like all my childhood memories are coming back!

I've always been a Minnie Mouse fan and will always be!

A "kitsch look" what does it mean?

The word "kitsch" is actually a german word, which represent a form of art mostly "tasteless", as often described. Most of the people use massive objects and make them look "cheap".

This term started in Munich between the 1860's-1870's. As you can observe "kitsch" in English would be translated as "sketch" (for example: paintings). It's an idea that represent something.

What I am trying to explain is that a "kitsch look" would be a form of art, that looks mostly messy but fancy at the same time. Like an unfinished product that still have that beautiful look.

Enough about the writings more about the explanation through the pictures

This look goes more for a "catch eye" look. It's all about bright colors, mix colors and crazy looks. Some can be extreme some discrete (rare). How can you not perceive when someone dresses up like this?!

One nation known for that type of style are the Japanese. Traveling there and seeing their audacity being put into fashion gave me chills. And I admire them for that.

 [magazine Vogue Japan fall / winter 2012-2013]

Kitsch can be extravaganza. You will see all kind of fantasy prints. It's all about putting your creativity into it and not care what other people think.

  

Madonna would be a great example for it. She made a strong impact in the 90's as well, where you would see women in pink fluo leggings with yellow neon t-shirts. Let's not forget it's still in vogue as of right now. Proof?

Well with this new artist Rita Ora who is the perfect example.

I am done here with the history. Guys remember you don't want this season, meaning fall to be boring, make yourself shine from the rest of the crowd.

Oversized sweaters

Oversized sweaters are always great comfort for women as for men.

Beside feeling extremely good in them a lot of us like to make this garment fashionable in our own ways. 

Wether we buy wool or cotton, everyone has their own preferences right? September is around the corner or should I say tomorrow so get ready to change your wardrobe a little.

You can pretty much pair it up with leggings (best option) it gives you a taller silhouette, as well as a belt to give a shape or/ and boots. For men mostly with a pair of jeans or cotton pants for the fall.

Ladies don't hesitate to steal your dad's, brother's or boyfriend's sweater!

I would say that I am obsessed with them ever since. My advice? Wash them gently as they treat us gently too.

In the creamy nudes

Today's color trend is all about creams and nudes.

Those colors tend to give a feminine, "lady-chic" look.

It's simple, serene, straight forward, classy and chic. From younger women to older looks. This is a must!

Look du jour : Adrienne Bailon

Having the Port Rican and the Ecuadorian side from both her parents, she sure knows how to bring the flavors to her looks. Not only she's an amazing singer, actress, tv personality but also a great entrepreneur. And from that, Adrienne have the ability to easily switch her looks. Today's picture is one of my favorite of hers.

It's super glamorous, chic & fancy. Perfect for a night out, a gala or any type of big events. Who would have thought that pairing up a bow tie and a sequined pair of shorts would make the perfect match?!

She sure know how to pull that look off.

It's all about shoes

These are three pictures that I randomly saw and the first picture caught my attention. It's the HIGHEST high heels shoes I've ever seen in my whole entire life. I love the color and the fabric of it. The heel gives an interesting twist to the shoe. How to wear them? That's another story... Bravo to the designer!

I want those ones! *Chanel fanatic*

Gorgeous shoes! (Unknown designer)
