My outrageous, crazy, un-real holiday wishlist!

What kind of fashion fan/shopaholic would I be if I didn't have a wishlist? Don't worry, I'm a good one... This list took a long time to be created and it is REALLY well thought. (It includes creatures, in case you were wondering.)

First of all, if I had to choose just one gift and forget the others: the Charlotte Olympia cat slippers, I am crazy, obsessed and absolutely in love with these shoes. Even if I had them I don't know if I could wear them because I love them sooo much and wouldn't want them to get dirty. The black ones are my favorite pair but I also want the glitter AND the leopard-print-ones... AND, since we're daydreaming I'll take the silk red ones, too.

The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: what can I say? Ilove his quotes, he's a genius and the book cover is just amazing.

Grace, A Memoir is a memoir written by one of my role models, Grace Coddington the creative mind behind Vogue magazine. A true genius. At BookMarc you can get it signed for only $35. Just saying...

A Céline purse. Do I really need to explain?



My mom and I are just totally in love with this MiuMiu dress. I just adore the colors and the collar, super lady-like and playful at the same time.

Chanel Set of 3 books and/or the Little Black Jacket book... and a Chanel LBJ to go with it.The three volumes include Chanel; Chanel Jewellery; and Chanel Perfume. The Little Black Jacket Book features the same pics I went to see this summer while in New York, as you may recall. Or not. Anyway, a perfect gift for me.

MiuMiu studded suede sneakers... MiuMiu is one of my favorite brands ever and I love this pair of sneakers because they have some glam studs and are totally neutral.

This Tibi Lobster Sweater is just very me, don't you think?

I know the list is quite long (and expensive), I just got really excited. And I know I'm kind of late for Santa, but I don't mind if he hits the sales and gets me my gifts in January. I hope you had an amazing Christmas! I sure did.

CropTop

For my last class as a grad student (yes, I'm freaking out about the future) I wrote a paper about fashion and it's devolution (this is a great Vanity Fair article on it). And one trend from the 90s I didn't think I would want to come back is the crop top. But now I'm actually loving it and wanting to wear it. Although I will need to excercise a little.

My favorite online store Net-A-Porter did a great article about this trend in their online magazine, and I especially liked this photos of celebrities wearing it. They totally got me into buying something like this. I only wish I could buy it from them.

My favorite, Gwyneth in Pucci. Hanneli Mustaparta. Rooney Mara in MiuMiu.

If I had all the money in the world, and a thousand places to go dressed up pretty, I would wear this MiuMiu cropped top with all the pretty skirts from Net-A-Porter.

Miu Miu, Lanvin, Preen Line, Jason Wu

But, since I don't have all that money, this is how I will actually be wearing it. I got this light blue denim top at American Eagle and I'm planning on wearing it with my Jason Wu for Target high-waisted pleated skirt or my Les Follies de Joie jeans in black and/or pink.


I love this collage of the trend by Fashionista. But what I love the most? It's about showing just a little hint of skin. That way no one can see the scar from my crazy times when I got me belly button pierced.

Scary but true...

I don't know if I've said it before, but MiuMiu is probably one of my favorite-brands-I-can't-afford. Prada's little sister is younger and more playful. It is also more affordable... For some people (certainly not me, I'm still waiting for that collaboration! H&M? Target? Anyone?!).

"The Miu Miu Women's Tales" is a series of short films directed by women and featuring the brand's clothes. Its objective is to present the new MiuMiu sunglasses lines... And probably to creep out people.

"The Powder Room" by Zoe Cassavetes is the first of the short films. It is the shortest one, and the simplest one. But still very pretty.



“MUTA,” the second short film, was directed by Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel. It's super creepy, especially if you don't like face-less people. I know my friend Cecilia would hate it... But the models wear the super pretty Fall 2011 collection, including those glitter shoes.



And finally, the third one: my favorite, Giada Colagrande's "The Woman Dress" (which gives name to this post). It premiered last night in New York Fashion Week, and I can say it's definitely scary. In a can't-stop-watching kind of way. I love it.

So now that you know of my MiuMiu obsession, if you ever want to get me something for Valentine's Day, Easter, Graduation, or whatever... I would love any of the folowing, I mean who could resist a sweater with sequin cats?

Hire Me!

A couple of weeks a go I had a job interview for a position as product description writer at Net-A-Porter. I haven't heard anything yet, but since then I've been obsessed with their website. The products are really expensive and I can't afford any of them... yet! Hello, employee discount! But looking around the site is like reading any magazine like Vogue or Harper's Bazaar.

I love these MiuMiu shoes.

This See by Chloé blouse would be a perfect Christmas gift for me.

I think what I like most is their magazine, The Edit, because it is so beautiful. But I also love their TV Channel. I usually don't like watching videos on the internet, but this are all so pretty and well made that I can spend hours here.

A screen shot from this week's edition of The Edit.

Next year, the site is launching an exclusive "cheaper" collection by Karl Lagerfeld. I don't know how affordable it will be, but I love this image they used to spread the news.

I took the image from http://www.net-a-porter.com/karl and made this one.

If you enjoy fashion and looking at pretty stuff, take a look around. Is like home-based-window-shopping. And if you have the time, e-mail them nonstop and tell them to hire me! Meanwhile, enjoy this beautiful video.
