Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day

I like to think I can relate to all the photos and others I chose not to include because well it’s nicer on the eyes to look at when we are all glamed up or wearing our super hero costumes and not when we look like we need ten more cups of coffee to get us through the day and our hair is a disaster all while running around toddlers. Nah this is a fashion site so let’s keep it pretty. Hey but there are the naysayers that say mothers don’t look like the women above modeling  in magazines or can look as good as a celebrity.

Bah ha ha, nonsense. Try harder. Yes there are days and we all have them that we just don’t. But there are days that you can find me styled up while holding my toddler on my hip and I love every minute of it and still do. Go on any given day to Soho and you can see tons of stylish women with their toddlers. I personally can never imagine leaving my sense of style because I am a mother. That is like ripping a part of me out.

Does that make sense?

So when I get those eyes staring at me, and you know those eyes, because I know it’s not me it’s them.

Those that look at you like

" How dare you be a mom and look nice?" 

Well I say

"how dare you judge me when you look sloppy and use the excuse not to look nice because you are a mother?"

like what if!

So I like to say HAPPY MOTHER”S DAY to EVERYONE because as long as you stay true to you, whether you have days you don’t feel your best or you look your best it’s all okay. We are all mothers and love our children and that’s what it should be about and not who’s wearing what.

I focus on finding my inspiration from my mother to be the best mom I can be whether wearing stilettos or flats with my best accessory (my son) everyday. She is everything in a mom I hope to be!

LOVE YOU MOM HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Life is beautiful even with its challenges. If we look closely enough we can find many things that inspire us because inspiration surrounds us all.

STOP take a moment from our crazy lives, breath and appreciate life. Because life is beautiful and is not guaranteed. Enjoy the small things not just the big, enjoy things that are priceless and aren’t expensive because those seem to be the most overlooked. Enjoy and relax with a glass of wine, take photos and capture the moment, put on your favorite dress and shoes, don’t wait for “that” special occasion that may never happen. Enjoy listening to the laughter coming from your loved ones. Enjoy the breeze you feel in your hair as you sit on the beach, close your eyes and feel the sand beneath your feet. Slow down and don’t let life pass you by. At the end of the road many say they wish they had more time, don’t be one of those people.

Inspiration: Golden Age for Today’s Fashion

Inspiration: Golden Age for Todays Fashion

Queen Isabel I of Castille (The Catholic) went down in history as one the most powerful female leaders. Her will to command an entire nation and her visionary mentality is what led to the unification of Spain and what is known as the Golden Age. This important period is not only historically significant, but continues to be an inspiration for today’s fashion.

The beautiful Michelle Jenner, portrays the young Queen in the hit Spanish telenovela Isabel. The costume design of this award-winning series portrays the period ’s fashion with elegant detail and shows how these trends have inspired many of today’s top fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana.

Royal fashion of the time exemplifies the luxury, power, and wealth of the monarchs combined with a sense of regal delicacy. It was common to see outfits adorned in all types of jewels, pearls, and gold, usually embroidered in rich velvets and exotic silks. Although these fashion trends are often not affordable or even practical, its powerful imagery evokes feelings of extreme luxury and pure decadence.

The evocative nature of period based clothing has led today’s top fashion designers to reuse these trends on the runway. A great example are the Valentino black cloaks on his spring 2013 Couture Collection, these capes were actually a favorite of the Queen of Castile. Dresses with embroidery and applications were a must in court as they are today. Dolce & Gabbana and Elie Saab have proposed in recent collections very sumptuous fabrics and have worked to get the Royal Trend.

In particular Alexander McQueen, whose 2013 Fall collection is being dubbed by some as the Royal Catholic Collection. McQueen’s vision of glory, his sensitivity to history, and imagination is nothing short from brilliance as it emphasizes the leadership of the feminine spirit. Take the time to notice the exquisite work on the complex embroidery and detailed beading while keeping in mind the futuristic trends that defined his vision.

To relive the coronation of the inspirational Queen Isabel I of Castile, nothing better than to follow and admire the trends set by Dolce & Gabbana, McQueen and others with inlaid crowns, pearls and stones. In case you’re interested in following this great story with an eye for fashion, or if you are a big fan of telenovelas like I am, I’d recommend you try this one!
