_Moda-Operandi-Punk-Shop

Not too sweet, nor too glamorous.  Rough around the edges with boots and a Mohawk to a gala, now that is my kind of party!

Tonight the Metropolitan Museum of Art will host it’s annual Costume Institute Benefit, better know as the Met Gala, with this year’s theme being Punk: Chaos to Couture. Continue reading “It’s a Met Gala Kind of Day.” »

Monday Men Style: Bonded By 007

Someone is keeping tabs of what all the James Bonds have been up to.  The amount of people they’ve killed, and their kissing records are being shared just to show that Bonds like to have their cakes and kill them too. Continue reading “Monday Men Style: Bonded By 007” »

Touch Some Velvet Real Good!

One pretty dress, three beautiful looks.  This Gypsy Junkies Dylan Bustier Dress was originally meant for a holiday story I was putting together, but with my impatience I needed to share it NOW!  Patience is a virtue, ….I’m typing that while nodding my head no and don’t you agree? With this burn-out velvet piece, I couldn’t just do one head-to-toe look.  The more the merrier, and easier on the wallet is what we all like.

Monday Men Style: PRADA REAL FANTASIES

I cannot make sense of the Prada F/W 2012 videos.  There are some well-dressed characters that belong in the retro era of fashion prada-ing around with futuristic backdrops. After the second time viewing the video, I just focused on the tailored pieces on both men and women in this Real Fantasies series directed by Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli and Fauto Fantinuoli.

Earrings on Ears and Chest

My love of fashion does have limits, one of them is altering my body.

-Losing weight to fit into a sample size. Not going to happen since I love food to much and these curves aren’t going anywhere!

-Getting tattoos to document a moment in my life.  I have enough scars and bruises to remind me of those moments don’t need the ink.

-What about piercing my ears to don some earrings.  I like my ears hole free, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear the earrings! Take it to the clothes my fellow fashion brethren.

With bejeweled clothes, shoes, and any other part where X marks the spot, this Fall/Winter is the perfect season to wear your jewels on your chest.  I look at earrings as brooches that come in pairs.

The night chills are here and it’s time people to Fall in Line. Time to start wearing layered looks, covering certain body parts up, getting our leather on! I reckoned now is the prefect time to feature this video, and photos created months ago with my creative team. I personally like to stay ahead of the fashion trends, test them out, making sure the outfits created are worthy of happy faces.
Time to pose, strut and smile.

What’s In Your Bag: Lauren, Ms. Laruicci If Ya Nasty.

 

Jewelry designer Lauren Ruicci showing us silver is here to stay!

Laruicci’s mastermind Lauren Ruicci has tons to share besides jewelry and the evidence was made clear once she opened her YSL bag to reveal tons of beauty and makeup goodies from her travels to Europe, as well as pieces from her jewelry collections to satisfy her silver jewelry obsession.  If this is the way Lauren travels, airport security will have to decide if they should hold her or help themselves to what’s inside her golden bag.

The beach collection I wore the entire weekend and have been wearing every since.” Lauren reveals while pouring out only silver Laruicci originals from a gold clutch.  Her explanation, “You run out the door so fast, you have to get adorned on the way to you destination, and if you’re traveling you really don’t know what you want to wear or who you’re going want to be that weekend.” Spoken like a true jewelry designer who rocks her own creations like no other person can!
