Ada Kokosar in a Stella McCartney dress and Kira Lillie necklace

You could say I have an ada-diction for Ada Kokosar’s personal style.  She is a stylist and a fashion consultant whose style renders me feeling ashamed of my still-in-progress-style.  Her style is everything I want to have, minimalist, modern, sophisticated with the right amount of masculinity that sets her apart and above many other fashionistas.  Reading more about her in the Telegraph I found out we like the same designers and for the same similar reasons.  This only makes me admire her more.  Enjoy!
From Telegraph, interview by Ellie Pithers
Who are your favourite designers?

Nicolas Ghesquière for his talent for looking forward
and making the most sophisticated, modern look; I love his structural
shapes, sleek overcoats and statement shoes. Riccardo Tisci for his
vision – I’ve known him since he started and he has achieved so much.
His woman has a very unique, strong personality and a mysterious allure.
Phoebe Philo for her effortless, relaxed modernity. Marc Jacobs because
I really appreciate his styling talent. Raf Simons for his search for
detail…read more.

 Love the detail of the pockets in her skirt
Allure
Unexpected color combinaton.
Adore those booties.
Perfect!
 That skirt
 Another unexpected color combination.
 Masculine shoes and an Hermes belt.
 Too much clothes for you so far?  Don’t worry she also does sexy but just on the little side.

The red carpet at The Met Gala sure gives the Oscars’s red carpet a
run for its money.  And for all the good reasons.  It’s an event hosted
by Vogue which each year celebrates an exhibition displaying
costumes from The Met’s Costume Institute Department.  The Ball marked
the opening of this year’s theme “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” 
And designers rocked it, literally!  Here are my favorites and my bests
who shined the night by wearing their own, I mean their designers own
interpretation of Glam Punk!

Loved the back of the dress.
 Alexa Chung wearing Erdem
 I love this outfit.  Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello

 Daisy Bevan.  Don’t know who made her dress but I loved this dress.  The shoes not so much though

 Jessica Alba wearing Tory Burch
 Kerry Washington in Vera Wang
 Gwen Stefani
And last but not least,  Gwyneth Paltrow in Valentino.  Not too punk but always beautiful, stunning.

It’s nice to dress up and look very much like a lady, but it gets to a bit too comic to be running in high heels while trying to catch a flight, walking up subway stairs, grocery shopping and well you get the point.  And trust me I’ve seen a bunch.  Many days all we want is to slip on a pair of comfy shoes and hit the road contentedly and chic.  The extra inch or two doesn’t hurt women’s vanity either.  Enjoy!

 Looking fabulous, relaxed and burning calories while wearing kicks.  Smart!
Yes you read that title right!  If you still refer to these comfortable and stylish shoe options as sneakers, I hate to break the news to you, you’re getting old!  They are not sneakers anymore they are called “kicks” and no, it has nothing to do with the literal meaning.  It just sounds cool as they look as of late.  Get yourself a pair of converse and feel younger!  By looking at these images this post should’ve been named Kicks and Celine.
 New Balance and floral pants.
 Celine and Isabel Marant red kicks.
Love this look!
 Such a beautiful color combo burgundy and black.  Yves Saint Laurent sneakers.  I mean kicks!

Trends come and go and if you don’t have a very open mind and have a fashion perspective, the first thought at any new trend could be daunting.  One that perhaps is easier to adapt to is the one with sculptural and/or Geometry shapes since its one that doesn’t need much color to be striking.  Either worn in a futuristic-minimalistic way or in a bold-colorful way the structural shapes stand by itself.  Enjoy!

These unique and sporty pair of sandals by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy are to blame for this post. Love the creative gold chain adorning the rest of the sporty material and how that simple but brilliant detail makes these flat sandals so feminine and exclusive looking. Who said that a pair of comfortable and outdoorsy women sport sandals can’t be pretty as well? This roundup of flat sandals are for the comfort conscious lady who still wants to look good while walking in town. Enjoy!.
