Esther Williams and Irene Sharaff

Esther Williams was one of the first to synchronized swimming they called it aqua ballet!
I loved her in "Bathing Beauty" a WONDERFUL MGM Movie. They even use to call her the princess mermaid.

The woman who made the costumes for the movie was Irene Sharaff. She received her training at the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts and then went on to her first work in fashion as an illustrator for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar in the 1930s. Her first own creation appeared in Broadway and then she signed a 4 year contract with MGM. At MGM she said that she saw everything "in blocks of color" her best designs were in the 1950's. She was Elisabeth Taylors Fav. designer! Her line of work in movies are unbelievable. She passed away on August 10th 1993. Her Quote Was:"You can acquire chic and elegance, but style itself is a a rare thing."

Photoshoot at The Cement Studio

I had no idea HOW cool it was going to be. The architecture was amazing! It was built in 1960. FAB!

On my Way to the Studio I loved the hall way!

This is me waiting in their cool waiting room!

The view was breath taking....a little too breath taking! I had to step back cause we sure where high!

The photograher was super nice! 3 looks back to back and we where done. Not bad!

Silent Stripes

Hello Everyone !
Ooooh WHAT a night I had!!! I found out about Tarina Tarantino's "Silent Stripes" event last week. I called my Tia to see if she could make me an outfit cause Tarina's parties are always SO special!!! I started to read about the collection. With earrning names like "VILMA", "MAX" and "GRETA" you could see the whole theme. Of course the black and white for the black and white movies! I talked to her daughter Olivia and she loves Charlie Chaplin! HOW super cool that her mom made a whole line about something she loves?!

My cousin Liset was visiting and came along with me! I wrote down some questions to ask Tarina about the line and lets just say it didn't go as planned.
So after the well worth 40min drive we finally got to the party! I went straight to the TT make-up counter and I noticed one of THEE most sparkly white lip glosses I have EVER seen!

I saw the dessert table.

OH MY!

There was cream cheese cupcakes, cake balls, cookies, chocolate sticks

and the lemonade was so fresh! It tasted like I was biting into a lemon but a sugary one!

So Finally I saw Tarina after not seeing her for almost 2years! You will not believe what happened..... I got super nervous. Yup I did. I had the questions in my moms purse but could not get myself to do it. It was SO much easier talking to her when I was 5 and 6 years old.....
but it was ok......Tarina was SUPER nice!

Now it was time for the contest and guess what?!

WE WON !!!!

I could not believe we won and the necklace was to DIE for!

I also met Tarina's two daughters and we hit it off. We talked about the Goosbumps books we're reading and about how are schools are......you know..... girl talk. I really liked them.

Hope I run into them again!

OOOOMG.....GUESS WHO I also ran into?!!!

My fashion sistah, SELENE LUNA!

AAAAAH!!! How cool right?!

I LOVE catching up with her. So all in all.......it was a amazing night!

If you think these pictures are pretty, you have GOT to see Tarina's jewerly in REAL LIFE!

I'm sure you'll find something amazing on her site:

Monique Lhuillier

Hi Everyone, I just had to share with you guys this amazing collection by Monique Lhuillier called "Under The Sea".It was just gorgeous!!! While she was on a boat in Turkey she seen how beautiful the water was!! She then was inspired to carry it on to her fashion line. All the dresses had a beautiful look to them. It makes you feel like your near the ocean. I was (and still am) into mermaids they have a glimmer exactly like her collection. The colors are so perfectly put together from the sea green to the turquoise (again my favorite color) made me melt. I cant't wait to see what she has coming this week in NYFW.
