Can we all pause while I do a happy dance..haha!  Seriously this is major and I hope that Target and Neiman Marcus manages this well, by this I mean—amp up your server so there are no online shopping issues, please stock/restock the stores properly and set a purchase limit per customer.  I am sorry but every single time there is a designer collab with Target people get crazy, buy out the store and unfortunately some folks gets left out *ME*.  

On that note who’s down?  Will you be shopping on Dec 1st?  Do tell…

NYFW Designer Pick—Oscar de la Renta


Hola!  I hope you all have enjoyed the fashion week ride as it is coming to an end here in NY.  However, not without my last designer pick—Oscar de la Renta.  I took one look and all I could say was WOW!  The use of beautiful fabrics/textiles—fur, tweed, knits and let’s not forget the color—soft pink, baby blue, bright yellow simply blew me away.  The entire collection has a touch of vintage Oscar yet with a feel of a young fashion forward woman.  The pretty models **I spy Joan Smalls, Anais Mali, and Jordan Dunn**  all adorned a neatly tucked coif with a flawless nude face. 

Mr. de la Renta is a force to be reckoned with and the fashion industry respects that.  There aren’t many designers that has the staying power and is able to remain true to their brand yet advance into the future.  Love it!

Friday Sass—Oh Oscar!


Hola!  Finally it’s Friday! Today’s sass is filled with so much color, luxe fabrics and oozes style from fab designer—Oscar de la Renta.  These looks are all from his Pre-Fall 2012 collection and all I can say is Oh Oscar!  If I could afford it would I buy every single piece.  I opted to show the pretty dresses from the line as it fits right in with the flamboyant dress code of the holiday season.  However, it sucks that we won’t be able to get our hands on beauties until next year.  Oh well, at least we get ideas for now.  Enjoy!
