Crop tops.
Crop tops.
Crop tops.

Como es que una moda (o mejor llamemosla tendencia) llega con todo y se le queda a algunos pegados al ADN? es decir, si no lo uso no soy nadie. Que pasa ahora con la moda de los "crop tops" que estan usando todas las niñas de la ciudad? no entiendo, porque es que todas TIENEN QUE vestirse igual.
No tengo nada contra ellas, mas bien tengo algo en contra de como funciona la moda en Lima. Pues asi se vuelve, una "moda. ¿Que vimos el año pasado? todas las chiquillas en los malecones o boulevards de la capital tenian falda de bobos (3 tiempos) y polo de tiras negro (o blanco o gris), no habia practicamente una sola chiquilla que pudiese ponerse otra cosa, ya que sino, no estaria a la "moda"
Que tiene de malo ser uno mismo? usar lo que quieras, cuando quieras y donde quieras?? el problema radica en que ultimamente la juventud se esta volviendo cada vez mas producidas, chicas de 17 quieren parecer de 25, y tener novios de 30...pero porque?! que tiene de malo verse de 17 años!! porque hay apuro en crecer, igual eventualmente tendran 25 y creanme que querran parecer de 17.

Dejen de llevarse por tendencias tontas o modas pasajeras, busquen su estilo y mantenganse firmes ante posibles criticas, no siempre todas tienen que verse como un ejercito de niñas, en este caso "crop toperas" No digo que esa clase de polos sean usados SOLO por ellas, se que hay muchas personas que les gusta ese estilo y la libertad de expresion (de la panza) que permite esa clase de polos, pero por ahora la mayoria de comentarios que escucho a mi alrededor es: crop tops? ay no, voy a parecer chibola de 18.

Mas bien, asi como ustedes toman posecion de un tipo de estilo especifico y lo usan hasta gastarlo al 100%, haganlo igual con otro tipos de prendas! van a ver como hay mas de una cosa que les queda bien! Estan en toda la etapa de experimentacion, de buscar que les gusta, que las hace ver mejor y cual sera su estilo para el futuro.

Les muestro algunos ejemplos de formas de vestir de chicas entre 15 - 20 años alrededor del mundo, ellas hacen de esas prendas su estilo y mas bien, no quieren ser una mas del monton, lo que importa en estos dias...es sobresalir.

PHAscinating Purple

Since it was about time to post the color of the week i was thinking: i should do not only color of the week in clothes, it could be color of the week in home & deco as well!

So no more talking and much more looking, my color of the week is PURPLE, oh how i love it,i wanna dive in it, i need that purple-ish tones to bright up my day....so yeah, here you have, from me yo you...hope you love it as much as i do!

First let's start with rooms

this one is too much for me

does this have purple in it?

Now moving on with living rooms

i adore this one

now, kitchens, (are those real? i can't imagine cooking in

a purple kitchen)

one of my favs!

sooooo chic

then, we can never forget the little things that will

light up a space

and finally: bathrooms!

too bohemian for me

What else would you like to be purple in your house? i would love some ideas since i'm planning on painting my house, my living room actually, but i'm not sure what color should i use since i've always crave purple for a room (mine is kind of baby blue atm)

well i would love some new ideas for sure

Interior Design in Peru!

Well just for you to see! I'm now presenting a Peruvian House on the Beach, by this two amazing architects and interior designers!

Alexandra Obradovich y José de Col

The green and purple that initially inspired the house decor appears now

in the deck, where the main attraction is the sofa, wich is repeated all along other

spaces in the house

The house contains objects from everywhere, mostly, vintage or antique or bought

during trips to Asia

The materials that were used around the house appears gathered round the fire place

as a context, a way to show what will you find when you walk around the whole place

Aerial view from the living room

They also used peruvian fabrics to do the cushions, mixing the bright colors with the

white and brown to balance the space

The semi spiral staircase has an important role, divides de 1st floor in

two spaces, the living area and the dining area, and has a small water fountain

underneath it

Again the purple and the green have the main roles in the deck area, with

the kitchen open looking at the ocean

Let me know your thoughts...if you wanna see more amazing houses go to Casas Una Revista de Cosas

Love xo

And The Oscar goes to...

So yesterday were The Oscars (as maybe the whole world knew) but what i will try to do today here is a tiny review of the awards and gowns wore in the ceremony.

Even tho this event is all about the performances, we all know is also all about the DRESS! so i will start with the winner of the night and then go on with my own BEST and WORST, hope you enjoy!

First i think i should start with the winner of the night, "The Hurt Locker"

That low budget movie was the big winner of the night, receiving 6 academy awards including Best Movie and Best Director, and for a fun fact, Kathryn Bigelow was james Cameron Ex's wife!!! so it became and Ex Battle!

I personally liked the gown, but it didn't make her look like a Director

i guess i needed the dress to show more power, but at the same time

i like that it's simple, so it kinda reflects her personality

Ooooook so now let start with me favourites now: BEST DRESSED OSCAR 2010

NUMBER ONE

Vera Farmiga in Marchesa

Gosh the dress...THE DRESS!!!! How i wish i could go back to my school

days and have that dress on my prom night!It was SO elegant, so avant-garde, yet so chic.

The perfect choice for a gala

like this! you could see she had some curves and the dress was not even revealing! i just wanted to go there

and touch the fabric and maybe smell it! (maybe not...ok just a little) it looked like silk ohhh,

well i could go on like this but there will not be more space for the other dresses, so

my humble veredict: PERFECT CHOICE

NUMBER TWO

Demi Moore - Versace

Well i don't really think you can go wrong with Versace cotour, but in this case

she could not be more right! even i'm not a fan of that blush color but i think it made her glow!

(yes! glow in the dark!) and the textures were so perfect, i could picture her like a little salmon

with all those layerings going on around her body, wich let me say, she is a hot mamma! i wanna

look like this when i'm older! (like i'm not too old already)

NUMBER THREE

Elizabeth Banks - Versace

Again, who could go wrong with this? I love the lavender-ish color and the layerings!!

What is going on here people?! i want all your gowns NOW! please! Even tho i loved it i do think

she needed some bling! like a neckless or something, but she does look cleaned up!

i keep rememering her as the little skank in the 40 Year Old Virgin so this was

a nice surprise to all of us.

NUMBER FOUR

Sandra Bullock - Marchesa

I'm starting to feel these two houses (Marchesa and Versace) got the oscar as

best to dress stars last night. I'm not a big fan of stuff that glows or sparkle (every time i say

"stuff" i keed picturing Meryl Streep with that The Devil Wears Prada look, sayinf: this...STUFF?)

Well yeah, moving on if it sparckles is not my thing but this girl looked really pretty

speacially with those red blood lips, and she won! (The Oscar at least)

NUMBER FIVE

Charlize Theron - Christian Dior

Another good choice, i didn't like it in the beggining, i'm not a big fan of having

fabric around my chest area that pretty much says: hey! here are my boobs!

But now that i look at this dress again i think the color is lovely and the dress is neat

Good eye for fashion Charlize.

NUMBER SIX

Cameron Diaz - Oscar de la Renta

Again the sparckels are IN, i did love the "i'm a princess" gown

she lloked so feminine and pretty, way to go Cam, all dress up we can see ayeee

i couldn't get pics from the after party but her dress for that was even better!

NUMBER SEVEN

Kate Winslet - Yves Saint Laurent

This girl always knows what to wear and how to wear it! even tho i think she could look

a little more flirty or girlie, i do think this dress was for the occation.

Perfect accesories and a little clutch and that kind of "i'm back from the 50's" hair, good choice

WORST DRESSED OSCAR 2010 (FROM MY POINT OF VIEW)

Miley Cirus - Jenny Packhan

I didn't like the dress, she tried to look elegant and glamorous and at the same time

a little bit like a rockstar, let's face it Miley: you are just a kid still!

i also didn't like the fact that the bottom part looked so flat, like something was missing.

Kristen Stewart - Monique Lhuillier

Even when the color was so precious, she just didn't know how to wear it

Accesories were missing and she, pretty much with the "i don't care about anything"

attitude, made the dress look dull.

I do give her credit for taking a shower and dressing up (even putting on some heels)

instead of some all stars, but then again, what's wrong with being feminine sometimes?

Anna Hendricks - Elie Saab

Again with the light colours, but in this case, instead of making it look so pretty like Demi did,

she kind of makes this dress looks like sleep wear, and that color pretty much

looks like her skin, it was a good dress, but maybe in some other tone.

Rachel McAdams - Elie Saab

I don't really know what Elie Saab was thinking, but she didn't really do a good job

in dressign stars. I LOVE! this actress and i think she is gorgeous and pretty much fits

in anything they put in front of her, but this make it look like she was kind of pregnant, and the fabric

may have been awesome in some other presentation, but here looked like a swirl of colours

placed in no specific order. I do loved the cut in the front part of the dress tho but i think she could have

use something more chic. (oh! and accesories, a neckless or a headband, something to bright up that face!)

Meryl Streep - Chris March

Meryl, oh Meryl!!! How could you! how could you use this dress that makes you look so old!

You! that in The Devil Wears Prada pretty much had a whole amazing closet

You! that have had so much style among the years

You! That make me love fashion and actually care to look out for designers!

You! the creator of that "stuff"

Well so yeah you can pretty much know what i think of this dress... DULL (she could do better that this)

Jennifer Lopez - Armani Prive

Am i the only one that wants to poke the dress and see if it pops?

Such a wrong choice for a girl that have those hips and bum!!

i don't get it Jlo, you just wanted to make a point? That you have the biggest bum in

the Oscars? Or you were trying to proove that showing your hips makes you more..MORE voluptuous?

Yeah bad choice woman, you looked too futuristic for that event, you might as well

share fashion secrets with Lady Gaga (not that i don't love her style)

oh, and you looked like a table lamp.

WORST DRESSED OF THE WHOLE - ENTIRE - OSCARS

ACCORDING TO ME OF COURSE

Sarah Jessica Parker - Do i even care?

Ok i do is Chanel (chanel????!!!)

I know this girl right here is a fashion icon, and she always goes over the edge with

her gowns and bla bla bla, this is horrible! i hate it! it looks like a silk towel,

that she used to wrap her body while changin her clothes and then found out she was

already late for the event! And that stripe around her neck,

i'm not wearing it and i'm already choking.

Finally, the hair! was she in a convertible on her way there? did she forgot to do her hair?

Oh i get it! Since she was in the shower and put that towel, she also put on a shower

hat and then just removed it.

I know there are lots that say it's an amazing gown, she is also in the Best Dressed portion

i just think they are all blind, being edgy is one thing, that is not called edgy, for me that is a mistake.

I have to add that she can pull off a good outfit almost always but this is a no-no

Well this was my review (tiny i know i know) but i hope it can do good or bad, i have nothing agains the starts that wore what they wore, i do have something against their stylists! People, they pay you to dress them up! you can afford mistakes like that!

*I want to add, that the guy that was presenting the red carpet, Jay (the on on America's Next Top Model) had a HORRIBLE blazer/tux/jacket. How can he (or she) be a fashion critic if he himself dresses up like a curtain.

That's it my fellows, don't take it personally, i just wanted to share my opinion

Love to all and have a good week!
