CreaTIV::...

I know things aren't necessarily going in order (but I sort of enjoy the chaos). My life is chaotic; therefore, this blog shall also be chaotic =)

That being said, I'd like to explore the creative genius of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's F/W 09' Collection....





















Collection: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Fall-Winter 09'

This collection makes me smile =)

Steal it from the Boyfriend!!::...

Ladies, I reckon that one clothing item that we NEED this Spring is the "Boyfriend Blazer." I mean, you should already have one (I know I do----but I want another one!! =))... 

Ah, the point: the point is that this blazer will give you that cool and sophisticated swagger that you already KNOW you have (but now the world will know you have it too!). 

My advice would be to go for a plain, bold or bright color (You can never go wrong with a Navy blazer; but if you're feeling wild and adventurous go for an even bolder color, like, GOLD! Or, if you're feeling like you really want to put yourself out there, FLORAL!). Rock this blazer with a short shift dress, or a long floral or chiffon frock; or with an oversized dress-shirt or tee, paired with loose shorts, skinnys, or harems.. Geez, gives me goosebumps just talking about it. 

Below are examples of how I'd probably wear a blazer. (Don't forget to role up the sleeves to give yourself a casual edge)...

D'a
près le matin du spectacle... of Chanel's show, everyone gathered at Coco Chanel's former home at rue Cambon to celebrate with Karl Lagerfeld and Jefferson Hack (who just released Another Fashion Book)...

Apparently, back in the day when she had parties, our dearest Coco would have close friends over until the wee hours of the morning. She would never sleep there; instead she'd "cross the street to the Ritz and retire to her suite there." (Amazing Woman!!)

Nonetheless, the crowd was divine, and the party was superb (I speak as though I were there, lol)...

Nouvelle PRAISE 2345::..

Okay, i've been slacking off... Tis all in order as i've been having life crisEs (you feel me, don't you? I mean, sometimes you have to sit back and worry. Worrying makes us human, no? Yes? No... Oh...) lol.

Anyways, to get me out of my hopeless "state" i've been focusing more on BRIGHT colors, FLORALS, that which is "ETHNIC," and all things "ROCKisH"----haha, you thought I was going to say my "studies" right? Ha. No, not quite I'm afraid...
