In Search Of Inspiration

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Oteea

I had hoped I would write about my second outfit post today, but due to the fact that the sun decided to take a break for almost four days now, I didn’t quite feel like putting on a cute dress in order to go for a walk in the pouring rain. Although, at this late hour (it’s a scheduled post, yes) … that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

Instead, I started getting ready for my little trip back to my hometown, where I shall recharge my batteries, hopefully under a bright warm sun. I dream of walking barefoot, playing with the cat and the dog, taking pictures, eating delicious food and strawberries, whilst being surrounded by the people I love most.

Heading home, means I will have some time to do a little shopping so of course, I took the Spring runways as inspiration, once again, in order to add other beautiful key pieces to my – currently under construction – wardrobe. And this is what I would love to wear this summer :

Saturday in the City

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Oteea

Good morning darlings,

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Sunday, because I know I am. It would have been a perfect day, had I like … absolutely nothing to do, nothing at all, so I could just sleep, read and watch my beloved TV series (I’m awfully behind at this point).

Luckily, yesterday we (my fiancee and I) found a glimpse of free time so we spent a few hours walking the busy city streets, taking pictures, enjoying the nice weather and …it felt great, it always does. Wish I’d do this every single day during summer time. Especially now, when our lovely city came to life and a bunch of great concerts, festivals and other interesting activities are about to take place during the following weeks. Guess who’s excited ? Me, me, me … !!!

Music, theater, museums and fireworks …soon ♥

A special thank you to my better half for bearing with me today (actually all the time … but shhhh), I know it’s hard but it means EVERYTHING …

DreamerI took my new cobalt pleated skirt out for a spin ♥

2012 Met Gala – Round Up Part VI

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Oteea

I can see the finish line, as we’re almost approaching the end of the fashionable 2012 Met Gala round up and review. And I don’t know about you, but I loved every little moment of it with all the good, the bad and the A-mazing. Another great year.

2012-Met-Gala---06Diane Kruger showcased her love for couture and risk-taking last night, as she grabbed everyone’s attention with her purple loose-fitting silk chiffon Prada gown, that featured a V neckline and an ostrich feathered hemline. The iconic actress styled her romantic appearance with a gold necklace with purple stones, a gold arm bracelet and a pink embellished clutch. Delicate make up and long, straight tresses provided the finishing touches.

Marion Cotillard combined her adorable playfulness with the event required elegance by donning a Christian Dior gown. The French design consisting of a shimmering black sleeveless bodice and a purple sheer structured bottom with delicate accents was paired with Christian Dior shoes and clutch, plus Chopard jewelry. Marion finished her look with a chic up do and soft pink lips.

Beyonce Knowles had planned a showstopping entrance for the 2012 Met Gala, as she walked the Red Carpet with pure confidence in a dramatic Givenchy Couture black lace gown, with a black and purple train of feathers. The sheer bodice that left little to the imagination, was carefully embellished with sparkling black sequins placed in all the right places. With such a statement piece for a dress, Beyonce didn’t need to accessorize at all, playing it smart with only a sleek ponytail and a coral lipstick.

2012 Met Gala – Round Up Part V

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Oteea

Going through last night’s pictures one more time this morning, might have changed my perspective on some of the gowns that caught my eye at first glance, whilst other dresses grew on me slowly but surely.

2012-Met-Gala---05

Carey Mulligan paid an homage to Prada, by wearing her design during the big night that set Carey co-chair for the 2012 Met Gala, alongside designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. The gold and silver toned fish-scale halterneck dress embellished with paillettes was paired with Prada satin pumps. A chic up do, smokey eyes and nude lips styled Carey”s dazzling appearance.

Nina Dobrev secured herself a well deserved spot on the best dressed of the night list, when she decided to step out in this sumptuous Donna Karan Atelier one shoulder silver and black custom gown, that featured a long dreamy train and a chic open back with draping details. The beautiful actress accessorized her heavy gown with Jimmy Choo heels and H. Stern jewelry. A classic up do and flawless make up made for a memorable appearance.

Rihanna went for another black moment on the Red Carpet, when she chose this bold, tight, crocodile skin applique gown wearing the signature of designer Tom Ford. Riri styled the long sleeved dress with simple black pumps, minimal jewelry and ultra long black nails. Her signature make up and a funky hair do added up to the sultry look.

2012 Met Gala – Round Up Part IV

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Oteea

It was all about sparkles, glitter and glamour at the 2012 Met Gala, held on Monday evening in New York City. But who shined the most at the event? Let me know your thoughts on last night’s big fashion frenzy. Until then I’ll take a wild guess.

2012-Met-Gala---04Cameron Diaz had a magic evening last night, thanks to her shimmering champagne Stella McCartney gown, with diamond crystal embroidered, long sleeves and a sexy draped back. The actress styled her elegant appearance with Fred Leighton round brilliant-cut diamond drop earrings and a Stella McCartney perforated clutch. An edgy up do and impeccable make up added the final touches.

Jessica Alba was a vision in gold on the Met Gala‘s Red Carpet, as she posed all smiles in front of the photographers in a metallic Michael Kors one shoulder lame drapped gown, that fit her to perfection. A complementary Roger Vivier Pilgrim Coeur clutch and Wilfredo Rosado gold jewels, styled the beautiful appearance. 1940′s inspired side-swept curls and a dark red lip color accented the old Hollywood style vibes.

Karolina Kurkova made quite a dramatic entrance on the Red Carpet, as she posed for minutes – supermodel style, working the breathtaking rose gold Rachel Zoe design that she was wearing. The statuesque gown that featured a high neck, long sleeves and an open back was teamed with a matching turban, a gold clutch and luxurious jewelry. Definitely, a night to remember.

2012 Met Gala – Round Up Part III

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Oteea

Thank God I didn’t like all the dresses spotted last evening on the 2012 Met Gala‘s Red Carpet, because choosing my favorites of the night wasn’t as easy as I would have hoped. With a different story hiding behind every dress, with so many favorite stars and favorite designers in one single place, the task seemed almost impossible.

2012-Met-Gala---03Sofia Vergara stayed true to her gorgeous signature style by sporting a silver-embellished hourglass Marchesa gown from the Spring 2012 collection. The opulent design that featured a strapless bodice, a peplum waist and crystal beading was teamed with Harry Winston jewels. A sleek center part and fuchsia pink lipstick perfected the appearance.

Camilla Belle wowed me as she took on the Red Carpet for the 2012 Met Gala, by channeling the 1920′s Hollywood glamour like no one else could. The actress donned a pearl deco-inspired Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 gown with a daring plunging neckline and a low cut back. Diamond jewels, a silver clutch, a rich plum lip gloss and a sleek side-part chignon provided the finishing touches.

Lana Del Ray joined the A-list celebrities for the 2012 Met Gala as a Joseph Altuzarra guest and obviously wearing the designer’s creation. Her ensemble, consisting of a silver and black hand-embroidered floor length gown and a black silk cape best represented her music and her taste for dramatic, vampy appearances. Minimal jewelry, deep plum colored lips, soft curls and a darker hair color completed the magical entrance.

Ginnifer Goodwin looked ultra feminine in her custom Monique Lhuillier tangerine silk chiffon cap sleeve creation, featuring a central slit and a beautiful beaded detailing on the upper bodice. Brian Atwood pumps which I’m not crazy about, H. Stern jewelry and a Tiffany & Co. clutch styled the appearance. Ginnifer opted to sport her sleek signature pixie cut and gorgeous make up.

Katharine McPhee sparkled amongst the important guests of the 2012 Met Gala as she was wearing a tangerine Georgette fully embroidered gown with a deep square neckline created by Elie Saab. An orange belt to accent the waist line, gold jewelry and a bronze Christian Louboutin Pliage clutch accessorized the bright look. Complementary make up and a chic up do finished off the look.
