I don’t know about you but, I can’t decide what I love more about Summer: the easiness of its clothes or the absence of heavy ones, which in either case pretty much results in the same feeling of comfort. As time passes I find myself more interested in wearing sneakers for my daily errands. I can not for the love of God even think about picking up my son, Lucas at school in heels or wearing them to the Super Market for that matter. Lucky for me and all the ladies who favor fashion sneakers had never been this hot or coveted. There is this Athleisure style which is more than a trend and it’s here to stay. Now, Athleisure is is not to be confused with the use of sweat pants with decorated letters on the derriere. No, no this consists of wearing active wear that are more fashionable than the usual and sneakers are a bit more fancy with exotic skins and accessories. Whatever the fashion world decides to call it, it all comes down to the fact that comfort always beats fancy.
The simple version of the trench coat that was popular in the 70’s has gone through major upgrades. New and versatile versions range from suede, leather and even transparent material in many number of shapes and lengths. It’s difficult to argue about the many ways it can be worn and all the different seasons that it can be used. Now that Global Warming is more real than ever, even though some people prefer to call it a Hoax, we can’t deny the crazy warm days we are experiencing during this winter and how soon we are from wearing a trench coat even in winter.
I came across the women fashion line Loeil via Instagram. The Los Angeles born fashion line prides itself for using superb quality and creative craftsmanship in an understated minimalist style. Loeil’s clean and comfortable-looking pieces remind me of Celine but with a more modern touch. What I love most about the line’s minimalist and underplayed pieces is how they all seem to have something trendy in them while staying feminine. I own a pair of cool shoes with fur heels and I can’t wait to keep buying from them because I find their prices pretty phenomenal.
At the most resent fashion weeks, there was one particular fashion-trend that caught my attention for all the good reasons, but mostly because it’s quite hard to not notice a fitted feminine waist. The Soft Leather Wide Belt fits right on your midriff to enhance the curves that either Mother Nature gave you or not. I personally love this trend because it’s very flexible in a sense that it can be worn over a simple dress, pants and blouse or even your coat.

I had been waiting for The First Monday in May to be available on iTunes and yesterday it finally happened.
The documentary directed by Andrew Rossi, the same director behind the film
Page One: Inside The New York Times, chronicles the arduous work that went into the preparation of 2015 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute exhibit China: Though the Looking Glass. Every year The Met hosts a Fashion exhibition under The Costume Institute department which opens with one of the most exclusionary fashion events; The Met Gala. In this inspiring and often funny documentary we can see how Andrew Bolton, current head Curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, works hard and under stressful situations to make sure that every single detail is flawless. Along with Andrew and a massive team from the Museum, we can also see Anna Wintour, Vogue editor-in-chief and chair of the event doing what she does best, supervising every single detail of the Met Gala preparation and making sure that is at Vogue standards.
I absolutely enjoyed the film and found it very insightful into a sometimes otherworldly world of celebrities and high fashion. The First Monday in May is now available on demand, iTunes and Amazon video.
