Halloween 2012 - Costumes Recap

Halloween, as always was a lot of fun! I know it has been a while and I've been the worst blogger lately, I almost didn't post, but since the costume process took a lot of work I decided to post a recap of the three days!

PARTY 1 - The Wild Leopard

Inspired by my leopard print obsession and the head band I had purchased from Asos a while ago, which I'm glad I had the chance to wear during Halloween.

Talita Correa, Ludi Delfino, me and Maura G.

PARTY 2 - The Harlequin

Another print obsession infused by Balmain SS 2013... OMG it was so hard to find the diamond print unitard or a fabric to make one but I was saved by e-Bay!!! Believe it or not it was a kids size XL and it did not look like this when I got it. The lovely hat is by Ariane Millinery my favorite hat shop in LA, I'm so glad I had the chance to wear it a second time.

Me, Maura G & Giselle Claudino (styled by me). Me & Cedric Benaroch

PARTY 3 - Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skull

Since the real Halloween was Wednesday even though I was exhausted I just couldn't pass the chance to dress up one more time.... lol! I always wanted to do the Dia de los Muertos (sugar skull) make-up. The make-up was done by the very talented and super fast (20 min) artist Jamie from paintonyourface.com to bad you can't see the glitter in the pics... we were sparkling on the streets of Hancock Park!

In New York for VS Fashion Show 2012

This was really exciting... I was actually there!!! Kind of last minute plans with some obstacles, canceled flights but we made it! I thought I had to save the post until the show aired on TV but with the amount of press out why not now, right? What an adventure... going to NY for 24 hours with a storm watch... but Lorrayne & I were really excited specially to see Alessandra Ambrosio wearing the fantasy bra! Almost no sleep... travel with your best friend is a lot of fun and since we don't get to do this all the time we forgot we were on the redeye and talked most of the flight... we got to NY early then we added one more, Renata. More excitement... a quick nap and it was almost show time. End up not wearing what I planned... but didn't really matter was super cold and wet and comfort was more important. The storm wasn't as bad, at least for me and Lorrayne brazilian/californian we were actually excited about the snow!

What a production... OMG! It is a real show...

The transformation of The Stage/Runway, when you thought it couldn't get better it goes beyond your expectations

The music... Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber can it get any sexier than that? Rihanna was so amazing I already got tickets for her concert in April of next year in LA.

Impeccable sexy girls! Excuse me, I know they work hard for those bodies... impossible not to get jealous... They are like flawless you actually stare to find something wrong, lol... I couldn't believe Adriana gave birth over a month ago and looked the way she did, amazing! Ale couldn't look any better and expensive wearing the orchid wings and the VS Floral Fantasy Bra set by London Jewelers.

Great fashion crowd and a spectacular time!

After the show we went back to Renata's to change and off to a girls dinner at Milos... by the way an amazing Greek Restaurant. Since we were in the City that never sleeps it doesn't end there, we met with Ale at the Victoria Secret's after Party. What a fun time!!! Cant wait to watch all over again this time from home.

The show will air on CBS, Tuesday, December 4th, 10 PM Eastern/ 9 PM Central.

Gypsy Night

We have been blessed this year with the most amazing summer weather I ever had in the past 12 years of living in Los Angeles.

Even thought I was feeling exhausted I just couldn't pass on my dearest friend Eric Chambers invite to celebrate his birthday in Gypsy style. If you know me a little bit you must know that I have a weakness for theme parties.

Last Saturday was another perfect summer night, a beautiful house, full moon, amazing people and friends... E Happy Birthday!

Ballet Evening Glam

My Look: Alexander Wang Dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Belt, Zara Shoes, Chanel Bag

Lorrayne is wearing: Vintage Dress, Rack75 Shaper,Chanel Bag, Guilty Brotherhood Shoes, Jacquie Aiche Body chain, Mishka Piaf ring bracelet, Vintage necklace

Last week I had a girls night with my BFF & super talented Rack 75 designer Lorrayne Mathias to see the Bolshoi Ballet, Swan Lake.

We had a blast! It was my first time watching a ballet plus Lorrayne was a ballerina growing up so it was very emotional for both of us. Of course the occasion asked for a little extra glam but the funiest/coolest thing was that we dressed in matching colors solely by coincidence, it must be the connection!

My friend Giselle and her mom, visiting from Brazil, got last minute tickes that again by coincidence were a few seats away from us.

We finished the night at the brasserie next to The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, somehow downtown Los Angeles felt very Parisian that evening...
