Le magnifique Versace!

Versace

Although Gianni Versace and I only lived at the same time for a little over a year everything thing I have seen that he created was inspiring. Everything from tight red pants (which Donatella used Monday) to beach shirts with butterflies and palm trees. It makes me laugh to see that kind of stuff because I never lived in the 80's. I probably wouldn't wear it now but I feel like if I had lived in the 80's I would love it! Even on Monday's show there was influence from the 80's for example the way the pants get big around the hip and the shirt is so poofy around the waist totally 80's! (I think) I don't fully understand why I'm so obsessed with this collection. It might just be excitement coming out while waiting to see the collaboration between H&M and Vesace.  Kyle Richards said it best "if you put the word vintage in front of it people go 'ohhh I love that'. So my love for vintage Versace might be just because Gianni made it. I love Donatella she's all about sexy, gold, studs, spikes and lots of color. She is an amazing woman. I don't see a lot of female designers that like a lot of fierce and sexiness. I only own two pieces of Versace. It's about time I get more. Like a purple vintage sport coat. It's amazing! Understand that just because you buy something expensive and designer does NOT make it fashionable! Buy all the versace in the world if you want. Just if you don't wear it right it wont look better than something from a thrift store. Personally I don't think a brand should even have to put a logo on stuff. The item should market itself. On the other hand I know how you want people to know you worked for that Louis Vuitton or Hermes bag. Don't ever buy fake!!! I see people all the time with the giant CC Chanel bag and it's fake!! If you can't afford a Chanel bag buy something less expensive! Don't buy it just so people will see you have a Chanel bag. To put it all in perspective I love Versace!

Versace mens spring/summer 2012!

I was at my computer waiting for this show to go onto the Internet I was so ready to see it. It was suppose to be a big hit and it was! I loved everything from the Red leather sandals to that black and gold sport coat!! Loved it all! I was so excited to see the sandals because I bought a pair that were almost exact in style from Aldo! They're amazing. Although I was not  into all the buckles. I have a sweet spot for Versace. I love Donatella so much! She is so cute. I just love Italian people in general. I can hate something by Versace and still be drawn towards it. I've never seen anything so bad from Versace that I couldn't stare at it for half an hour. That's just how it is. My favorite part of the show was getting to see the sandals, bathing suits, the V-necks and the suits. Versace suits are so timeless, elegant and clean cut. I was into the deep V-neck colorful shirts! I wouldn't wear them anywhere but the beach and my house but they're still wonderful! The pattern on the shirts and bathing suits was especially intriguing because of the resemblance of Alexander McQueen's last collection. With the black and chosen color I love how she added the black squares to the bathing suit and shirt's it just adds this little bit of specialty and elegance. I now want to walk around in a Versace speedo all day. There was one piece that caught my eye in an amazing way; it was the black and gold jacket I don't know what it technically was but I loved it! I love black and gold when it doesn't look whorish. Bright colors, Versace and gladiator sandals so of course I loved everything about the sandals! They are great! I highly recommend them! The studs and Medusa head gave them great edge. On another note Versace and H&M are coming together; I can't wait to see what the come up with! I love both the stores so I'm not going to be disappointed!
I love everything this guy has on! I don't typically wear pink shirts but I
would buy that shirt in every color including pink and of course wear it! I have a thing for coral green as stated in a previous post; yellow as well. They are my favorite colors hands down!

Summer in New York City.

In about a month I will be flying to New York City and I've been waiting to run around 5th and Madison going to all my favorite stores. I love Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, Fendi, Christian Louboutin and such. I want to go somewhere new and exciting that not everyone knows about. Because for one I love going to new places and meeting new people; finding a great little clothing store is the way to do it in my opinion! I would like to know of great new places to visit!

Swimsuits.

Spending my first day at the pool only a week ago I was looking at what everyone had on. I was horrified to say the least. Normally if im out at a pool tanning and enjoying myself I put away my judgmental personality but I can't help it when I see a tube top! I hate tube tops so much. They are the worst thing you could ever wear to go out in. I hate when people wear tube tops and they aren't at the pool or near a body of water. It looks incredibly trashy. Trash with money is still trash.

Roberto Cavalli

Here is a Roberto Cavalli bathing suit that I don't like; here's why. I don't like one pieces. I don't understand why this bathing suit is all attached at the ring in the middle if you're trying to hide your stomach this is not the bathing suit you should wear. In my opinion I don't imagine this being easy to swim in. It would also leave a really funny looking tan line.

D&G

I like black bathing suit because they will attract light and help you tan a little faster (if that's what you're going for) and they tend to make you look thinner. D&G makes about 10 different bathing suits like this one and they all are great! Watch out for Dolce and Gabbana they are mostly one pieces. Don't buy one!

dSquared2

I love almost everything by dSquared2 accept their one piece suits. I like all bathing suits that don't have flowers all over them or a one piece. So this one works! It's a great blue. Toned down color bathing suits like this one are better than bright colors like purple and green. They just stand out to much and in a weird way. Don't wear a lime green bathing suit unless you're like 12 years old.








This bathing suit has to characteristics that I hate. One it is a million miles long. I hate long bathing suits what are you just tanning your calves?! I love my legs; I never wear shorts that come even close to
my knee! Then these shorts hit a big no no on my list and that is flowers! I don't know who thought it looked nice but it doesn't!
When I wear bathing suits I go for short and colorful. I do have one plaid pair but they are special. If you look at both of these clearly the yellow pair are better! I love yellow so I guess that's why I like them so much! Yellow is so amazing. It's fresh and bright! Love it!

Tailored style.

Tailored clothes are great but you shouldn't always depend on one to fix your clothes. Don't ever buy something to tight! That is a very bad look on men and some women. If you find something you can't live without but it's to big that is something a tailor can fix. If you're ever taking things like button down shirts to a tailor the best way to make it fight perfectly is to dart it. I see people all the time wearing a button down and the back of their shirt is all puffed out! I hate that! Especially with grown men I see it as a lack of ability to dress yourself. What could be worse? Nothing but one thing can be equally worse and that is pants that are to big in the leg and your pants flop around while you're walking. I can't say it enough I just hate people who can't dress themselves properly!!! It makes me really mad. It makes me feel better about myself knowing I can dress myself; I could dress other people better than they can dress themselves. Like my sister. I've been dressing her since I was 10 or 11. Even when she lived four-hundred miles away from me she would send me a picture of her outfit and ask what I thought. Most of the time I made her change! I love dressing other people. It's frustrating at times because some people can't see other peoples perspectives and see how they look bad.

Rainbow of beauty!

I decided I was going to find one thing from every color of the rainbow that I loved! so my first pick was a red Burberry scarf. This light red screams summer. It's the kind you would wear on a windy day in the city. It would go great with a dark Alexander McQueen blazer I think to go with it I would put a pair of nude Louboutins!

Next is a very simple Hermes Jpsiere bag. I love Hermes. Truth be told I love anything extremely bright! You could anything Hermes orange like a mile away! It's amazing. Still nothing will ever come close to a Birkin... Especially an orange one. They're deadly.







I love the color yellow and my favorite designer is Alexander McQueen so naturally something from his summer 2010 collection would be on this list! Just so happens I found this amazing yellow dress! If anyone who was lucky enough to get the armadillo shoes wear this dress with them! There are only like 30 pairs in existence so the odds don't add up. I love those shoes so much!

One of my favorite 'earthy' colors is coral green. It looks so clean, fresh and care free. It also reminds me of the color of newly grown leaves. I would pair this with blues and something orange! Just because I like to be dramatic and make statement.

Ray-ban Wayfarers are an iconic staple everyone should have in their wardrobe. Some of the styles have such a 50's classic look it's amazing. Then they have the few that I don't really care about... In general I like them all. I normally would go for the original black ones but the blue color in these just pop right off your face!






Purple is one of the best colors ever. It can go with almost everything. I love it! I don't own any purple shoes... Need to change that. Anyway It doesnt matter what it is but it will look good purple! Take this versace dress. All you need is a pair of YSL's and a big gold necklace and you're ready to go! What could be easier and not look like you just threw something on.







I didn't put all the colors on here. I got my message across I hope. I think everything will look good with the right color. No matter what it is. It might not look good in one color but it will in a different one. Even though this article doesn't have a complete outfit it still shows how great very bold colors look! I love bright! I hate bland and colorless! I always like to be out there on the edge!
