Urban Street Style - Men

        Talking today with a very dear person in my life, he asked me: "Why would I follow a blog that talks about women fashion?"
        And to be honest, I can understand that. Why would men read about fashion, for ladies? That is the reason why today we talk about men street fashion.
Urban Style

In New York street style is one of the most inspirational fashion trend. Even most fashion designers get inspired from street style. You can only walk dowwn the streets of NYC and get inspired.

I heard something very amazing two days ago from Janelle Monae when she was asked what is she wearing for the Grammy's she said: "IDEAS, I am wearing ideas".
I think that is amazing, to be able to just have fun with your wardrobe and just enjoy what you're wearing. But most of all, don't forget the attitude home. That can take an outfit out of the ordinary or make it ordinary.
I love a man that can be stylish, casual and you see that confidence on his face. 

Denim is a great do this year, so even if you mix denim on denim you won't get wrong with it. Just get out there and have fun!
Enjoy xoxo

"Don't settle for anything less then Butterflies"

Butterflies everywhere

"Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less then butterflies".
One of my drawings
This is one great quote from Carrie Bradshaw that I still remember even now and it inspires me to go for more and never settle for nothing less then BUTTERFLIES.

my new Butterfly

The beauty of life is that no matter how hard it gets, you have to go out there and show you can do more then you think you can! Just fly like a butterfly!
One of the shapes that is fascinating to me is the butterfly.
Since I was little I have been in love with those majestic creatures.  I don't know if it is because they are so colorful or because I saw Mariah Carey wearing them a lot, or maybe it's because they can fly. There is definitely something amazing and pure about butterflies.
While at work today, I went window shopping. I ended up shopping and we all know how that happens hehe. I needed more accessories so I ended up buying the one you can see in the picture.


This butterfly is so beautiful, and it was just the final touch for my outfit today. I was wearing my favorite jacket. This yellow jacket gets more compliments then I ever thought and I love it.

A simple color, jeans and a beautiful necklace can take any outfit out of the ordinary.

One of the best compliments I received today was actually from my boss saying: "I love you today with this outfit".

Life is short let's enjoy the butterflies.
Alexander McQueen
One of the worst things we can do in life is settle for anything - a job, a man, a place you dislike, an apartment, a bar or a movie. Don't do it. If you do it today you will do it tomorrow and later will be harder to get out of it. Get out today, enjoy your life.


Now you know what they say "Great minds think alike" well no wonder why so many designers found a great inspiration in Butterflies.

  Another great mind was Mr. Bob Dickinson, the lighting designer for the Grammy's. What he did with Carrie Underwood's dress was amazing! To project on her dress butterflies and behind her butterflies that are flying. It was pure art all of that.

Tribal Inspiration



Marc by Marc Jacobs

I woke up today with one thing on my mind - Tribal Print. Yesterday, I talked about what inspires me, and one of the main inspiration throughout my life was music, R&B, Hip Hop, Black Culture in general. Tribal print is one of my favorite and we can see it on the run way this year, and I love to see it there.
Anything it's allowed when you wear tribal print. You can combine any colors and you will look great.
Rebecca Minkoff - Spring-Summer 2013
 I love colors. I believe that if you love fashion too and you don't wear colors you might as well die tomorrow (joke/in a way).
 Life is short do something different today and wear a color you never wore in your life. I bet you will pull it off great! Wearing a color is brightening my day and it will brighten yours too. Now don't get me wrong, there are outfits that I love and maybe have just black and white and some people have dark colors as favorites and they look amazing and stunning on them. But I love colors and I believe that colors give a different meaning to life!

Erykah Badu - Neo-soul singer 
Yesterday, I was talking to a very good friend of mine, and I asked her about my blog. Constructive feedback.
 She gave me an amazing idea of how after I show what inspires me, to take it to another level and show you my creation - an outfit, a drawing, something I create.

This is my outfit of the day that was inspired by Tribal Print. I would wear that for a walk in the park or a date or whatever would make you feel good!
Enjoy and have a colorful day!

Inspiration

The one and only 34th St.
What is inspiration? I believe every designer, artist, painter, fashion stylist any person that is doing art in one way or another needs inspiration. Now don't think inspiration is looking on the cover of a magazine or looking at a girl you love her style and copying it, NO. Inspiration is not copying someone's style. Inspiration is inside of you, is in the eyes of a person you just meet, in music, in the city you live, in an oversized sweater you see on someone walking down the street or in a culture.
Aaliyah

My biggest inspiration is music! I have been inspired by music ever since I was 13. Music is the best thing that happened to me. I was listening to a lot of R&B and HipHop back then and even now and what inspired me the most was Aaliyah and her cool fashion style I started wearing baggy jeans and all. NEW YORK CITY is the inspiration for most of the big fashion designers and there is no question that when you walk into this city the fashion is just overwhelming it is everywhere, you breathe fashion in NYC.

Ever since I visited this place 5 years ago I wanted to move here I felt this is my place where I want to be where I want to breath no matter what. Now, after 5 years I live in NYC in Brooklyn where the street fashion is in her home. There's no better place to live then Brooklyn maybe Manhattan hopefully next year.

Brooklyn Style
I love scarves I think scarves inspire me too when I see a colorful one I have a whole outfit in my head they are amazing and very inspiring.

Street Fashion I think is one of the most inspiring. Just walk down the street and observe other people wearing different things young girls and boys that are not afraid to wear whatever makes them feel good and happy.

Attitude is great sense of fashion if you wear a skirt without the attitude and confidence there's no reason to wear it because it won't even be noticed. It can be the most amazing designer skirt it just won't look good anymore.

Sarah Jessica Parker in SATC
"Sex and the City" has always inspired me in different ways. The fashion that Patricia Fields pulls in SATC it's amazing there is nothing that even comes close to that, maybe Gossip Girl can try to come close with the outfits that Blair and Serena were wearing. But I believe SATC has something timeless about it something that will always be in style how SJP pulls everything together there is something that you don't see everywhere. But most of all it was her amazing confidence that made her so popular the way she wore all those outfits like it's so natural and easy. That's inspiring for me and beautiful !! 

So what inspires me is NYC, Music, Brooklyn, SATC, Street Fashion and so much more.

What is that inspires you in fashion???

Don't wait until tomorrow, do it now!

-->
I’ve wanted to start my fashion blog in a very long time but somehow it didn’t really happen. We all have reasons like “I don’t have time” or “I have better things to do”, “I will do it next week” or “Am I ready to do this?” and “Am I good enough to do this?” But as a dear person in my life said, “What is good enough?” Good enough is what you do in this moment and if you won’t do the best of it and don’t do it now, in this moment, in this second you won’t ever do it or if you do it after, you wish you didn’t waste so much time and wish you would just be that child again that believed anything is possible.
Why have a fashion blog? Because Fashion is my ART.
 Now this is to all the ladies out there and men that love shopping and go on a shopping spree and feel so great after it, we all love that feeling but at one point we have our conscious telling us: "you just spent 300$ on clothes, or shoes, are you crazy????!!!" And what do we do? We feel so bad about it!!! I know I did and also I had a lot of people in my life criticizing the way I spend my money.
You see I could live without eating for days but when it comes to a pair of shoes or a dress I really want, now that’s something I can’t live without.
The moment that the person that loves me the most told me: “when you go shopping you are the happiest woman on earth how can I take that away from you? Clothes are the way you express your creativity” In that moment I realized there is no reason to feel bad about it NONE, ZERO! Be happy and express your creativity, we all create ART one way or another, and this is how I create MINE!
How do you create your ART?
