Back to the '70s

Hello!!!

Finally I had a photoshoot after a very long time. I'm so excited to share these photos with you guys because I loved how these photos came out.

This photoshoot couldn't have been possible without the help of my little brother, my personal photographer, he's so awesome.

So without further ado here's Back to the '70s.

And for the complete photoshoot I've created a slideshow with my new Macbook Pro!

Enjoy...

Love,

Forever 21 + Heritage 1981 Haul

Sheyla 5:47 PM Fashion , 0 Comments

Hello followers!

Here are some photos of my most recent haul. Yesterday I was finally able to go to the mall to purchase the items I had kept in a wish list from Forever 21.com not long ago. I was looking for key pieces that represent the latest trends.

The key terms of the fashion trends I had in mind were: florals, prints, navy and gold accessories.

I was able to find all of the pieces related to these trends at Forever 21 and Heritage 1981

My first stop was F21

I focused on the accessories from there and I got...

Golden Leopard Print Headwrap

Pink and Gold Rose Pendant Necklace

Cylinder Rings (Gold and Silver)

Three Golden Ring Pieces

And then I went to Heritage 1981 which was right next door to Forever 21 to find the other two items that I needed. This time they were clothes...

Navy High-waisted Shorts

*The shorts were on sale by the way because right now Forever 21 is having a Yellow Tag sale. They cost $11.

Blue Floral Romper

And that was my haul!

Thanks for staying tuned.

Love,

Sheyla

Hello followers!

It's been a long time but what can I say there have been quite busy with some of the transitions, college being the biggest one, in my life that have diminished some of my time but because Fashion is still dear to me here's my welcome back gift!

As you know I had a wonderful time in Europe this past Spring and I'm sorry that I have not posted any photos of that I'll promise that next time I'll post my Top 5 Favorites Photos from the trip.

So for now as a treat I will instead show photos of the items I purchased while I was in Europe.

I didn't break the bank like the last time I went to Europe in 2008 but I purchased some key casual pieces that I have been wearing lately and which I truly love.

So are you ready?

Then here we go...first up is...

Khaki Cotton Pants - purchased at a German Store

Tree Hugger Comfy Tee - purchased at a German Store

Denim Shirt - purchased at a C&A in Germany

Floral Dress - purchased at H&M Germany

Landmarks Tote Bags - purchased in Heildelberger, Germany; Munich, Germany and Innsbruck, Austria

And that was it for my sweet Europe haul the rest of the items I bought were souvenirs and and other gifts for friends not really related to fashion so I don't feel the need to post them too.

Hope you enjoyed this post lovely followers

Look forward to my next haul post from Forever 21 & Heritage 1981

Until next time.

Love,

I'm Back!

Sheyla 3:55 PM 2 Comments

Hello everyone!

I have safely returned home from my lovely trip to Europe - more specifically Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland - during my Spring break vacation. I had such a great time and found many cute styles that gave me so much inspiration! I couldn't take photos of everything I saw but the looks remained in my mind and some are actually in my possession right now. :P

Well let me not reveal too much. For now here are the photos of the 4 looks I did take a photo of.

Enjoy!

*These looks are from a French store called Pimkie that is very popular throughout Europe. I saw at least one Pimkie store in every one of the countries I visited. :)

Love,

Jason Wu's Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

Sheyla 12:14 PM Fashion , 1 Comments

"WOW" was the first word that came to mind when I first perused the shots of the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection by Jason Wu! It was love at first sight...

In order for you guys to get a better idea as to what captivated me the most I will go through each outfit that I liked and explain why I loved it so much!

First stop is...the Lustrous Red Ball Gown

[Model: Jourdan Dunn]

This lovely gown equals "perfect beauty". I love that it's strapless because I'm a sucker for those dresses. In addition the simple gold details at the bust and waist give this dress elegance without going really extravagant! The fabric is also lovely I love that it flows so that when you walk across a room you would catch the attention of those surrounding you instantly. And lets not forget the stunning red color. It pops and gives so much more attention to this dress. I must say the dress really enchanted me! If only I could have a dress like this for Prom - I would definitely feel like a Prom Queen if I did. I love you Jason Wu!!! <3

Followed by the look I call...Androgyny Chic

As many of you guys know I'm also a fan of androgyny women's wear. This look was simple, chic and full of that sexy man-appeal. Hahahaha that might have sounded weird but some of you understand what I mean - Its like in the movies when they show a woman wearing her boyfriend shirt around the house, thats the type of sexiness I'm referring to. I love the details on the sides of the sweater and the trousers have that timeless design that never goes out of style so it completes the whole look perfectly. I couldn't see the bag very well but it looked gorgeous too.

Up next is the look that shouted chicness! I call it...James Bond Female

Out of all of the androgynous looks in the Jason Wu Fall/Winter 2011 collection this one was my ultimate favorite. I immediately thought of James Bond when I saw this look. Usually - for those who know JB - one associates elegance, mystery and sexiness when one hears the name James Bond. And that was exactly what this look said to me when I first saw it. Jason amazes me every time; he can make a woman look so good in manly and feminine pieces and that its so amazing! I love the look from head to toe. One again its so simple yet so chic. I love the detail in the jacket because although the cut is typical of a blazer its that detail in the front that adds that feminineness to the outfit. And the shirt with the bow is perfect so I would 't see a problem in wearing it without the jacket at all.

Back to feminine...Simple White Dress

This dress was another example of simple elegance in Jason Wu's collection. I love the design because once again its SIMPLE and the "dead Winter flowers" print on it adds to the elegance in it. I really like the bottom of the dress because I'm also a sucker for bell bottom dresses and this one is pretty so its great.

And the last three that caught my attention I call them...The Three Timeless Gowns

Once again the flow of these three dresses I loved. And yes the second one is not actually a dress but a top and a long "flowy" skirt. I loved all three of the for their gold and lace details. Jason Wu you deserve five stars for this lovely Fall and Winter collection! You're truly amazing and I would love to wear one of your gowns someday. Best of luck for Jason Wu!!

And well this is it for my report of the Jason Wu Fall/Winter 2011 collection. For the entire collection photos check out this link: http://nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows/2011/fall/main/newyork/womenrunway/jasonwu/index1.html#

And I will post the video of the fashion show below as well.

P.S: Did you wonder who the model on the Red Gown is? Well its Jourdan Dunn! The British sensation supermodel of the moment. I'll feature her some other time but if you want to see her latest project go visit the Burberry website (www.burberry.com) and see her in the Fall/Winter 2011 ads. I guarantee that you will love it! Also is it me or did Jason's collection allude to Black Swan as well? Loved it!

Until next time...

Love,

Sheyla
