So cute!

My Hello Kitty!

Vinny's Clifford!

Well this are not Versace but they are so cute!
I was at the supermarket with my son when he spotted Clifford "the big red dog" and I was going to grab it when I saw my Hello Kitty!
Of course I bought both, one for each of us!!! ha ha. I still have a kid in my heart!

Diet Coke by Versace

Diet Coke in Italy just got a lot more fashionable thanks to Donatella. She and 7 other Italian female designers crafted special 5-foot bottles for a charity event that kicked off Milan’s Fashion Week.

DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL!

NO ME GUSTO NADA!

Who looks like this pregnant! OMG!! she is perfect! I am not in love with the dress but needed to remark how she looks with that beautiful pregnancy glow!
Quien luce asi embaraza! Mi Dios!!! es perfecta! No me gusta mucho el vestido, pero tenia que remarcar lo linda que se ve con ese brillo extra de las embarazadas!

I don't care what they are wearing, I find them so cute and sexy!! They've been together for 21 years now! Happy for them!

No me importa mucho que tengan puesto. Yo los encuentro super adorables a los dos. Y llevan 21 anios juntos! Feliz por ellos!

Loved them both! Its beyond fashion!
Los ame a ambos! Va mas alla de la moda!

Well... I am not sure about the outfit but definitely there is something very sexy and attractive about her look and her big smile. Everything looks real. And I love her necklace! For me this is a HIT!
No estoy muy segura del outfit en general pero definitivamente hay algo especial en su look en su gran sonrisa que me resulta atractivo y sexy. Se ve super real y genuino. Y adoro su collar. Para mi es un hit!



Glenn Close super age appropiate and looking great. Isn't she a woman with personality? She doesn't have any doll feature but to me she is super feminine and strong at the same time. HIT!
Glenn Close super ubicada. Simple pero aun elegante y sexy. No tiene ningun razgo de muneca pero es terriblemente femenina y sexy.



Sevigny wore a dress from Isaac Mizrahi’s Resort 2010 collection. I am not his biggest fan but she wore this dress with a lot of grace! So it will be a HIT for me!
Sevigny uso un vestido de Mizrahi. La verdad el no me fascina como disenador pero ello hizo magia con este vestido y se ve que lo lleva sin esfuerzo. Otro HIT!



Mila Kunis wore a dress by Monique Lhuillie

. I find this dress so beautiful. Love the color and length. I would probably gave her a little contrast and color with the accessories but she looks great anyways! HIT
Mila Kunis con un vestido de Monique Lhuillie. Desde que la vi llegar que me encanto el vestido. El color es unico, el largo me gusta. Tal vez le ubiese dado un toque de color con los accesorios, pero igual se ve fantastica! HIT

A Bit of Flesh

Mark Fast's Decision of Using Size 12 Models Cause Controversy at London Fashion Week

Me sorprende gratamente ver que en algun rinconcito de esta industria aun queda gente que se arriesgue en pos de salud de las modelos y de quienes se someten y desviven por lucir como ellas. Este Canadiense que hoy vive en Londres se animo a lo que nadie se anima. Puso modelos de talle 12 en la pasarela del Londres Fashion Week. A mi me gusto verlas con un poco mas de curvas, aunque creo que tenemos el ojo totalmente viciado y no puedo dejar de admitir que la languidez de los talles cero aun parece mas normal.
Bravo Mark Fast!


I am happy to see that in a little corner of this industry there is still people concerned about models' health and all of us who submit to everything just to look a little like them. This Canadian designer who is living in London did what anyone else is capable of doing. Showing the real beauty! with a size 12 in the catwalk!!!! I have to admit that my eye is used to skinny girls so I found it a little weird at the beginning but hopefully we can all get used soon to true and healthy beauty.
Applause for You Mark Fast!

Manicure and Wagashi not to be missed!

Sakura NYC

Esti's manicure at Sakura - leopard detail degradation nail design

Minamoto Kitchoan NYC

Wagashi

so delicious...

El mes pasado fuimos a NYC en familia... y caminando sin descanso por mi adorada ciudad descubrimos Minamoto Kitchoan... y nunca nada fue igual.
Este es un pequenio pedacito de Japon en plena Manhattan. Cuando te asomas por la vidriera no estas muy segura de que estas viendo... definitivamente es comida, pero es algo distinto, es nuevo. Mejor dicho, nuevo para mi.
Son "Wagashi" o dulces japoneses. Algo asi como para nosotros una panaderia.
El impacto visual del lugar es magico y creanme que todo es delicioso.
Yo estaba con mi Vinny, mi hijo, y nos compramos un Momoaya que es durazno blanco en una gelatina de durazno y otra delicia mas que no recuerdo el nombre, solo se que era una masita de leche condenzada.
De ahi salimos y nos sentamos en el Rockefeller Center cual turistas a saborear nuestros dulces.
Por supuesto, volvimos todos los dias por mas.


En el mismo viaje una amiga me pidio que la acompane a hacerce las manos a Sakura. Me comento que era el mejor lugar para eso y ahi quedo el tema. Yo no pude ir porque no queria ver el destrozo que podia hacer un varon de tres anios.
Pero al llegar a Austin mi amiga, Esti, mando un tweet con su mano pintada por ellos.
Me encanto la coincidencia de la influencia Japonesa en mis dos nuevos stops en NYC!
Por si me faltaban motivos para ir... ha ha.
Pd: Sakura significa Cherry Blossom, el arbol amado por los Japoneses y yo.



Last August we did a family trip to NYC and while walking nonstop in my beloved town we discovered Minamoto Kitchoan. And nothing was ever the same.
Is a piece of Japan in the heart of Manhattan. Once you get closer to the window you are still not sure what it is. You start to get the idea of food but definitely its something new... or new for me at least.
The visual impact of the store is magic and trust me, everything is delicious!!!
They are "Wagashi" Japanese sweets full of natural goodness. Almost no animal fat and the sugar is made from pure carbohydrates and they are totally natural.
So after buying a couple Momoaya (white peach jelly) we sat with Vinny as 'tourists' at the Rockefeller Center.
Of course we came back for more every day until departure!


Same trip different day, a friend of mine asked me to go with her to Sakura for a manicure.
I was with other plans and didn't think that was the place for my 3 years old to enjoy. So I didn't go, but a couple of days ago my dearest friend Esti, the owner of Buydefiniton.com, best e-boutique, posted a photo of her own manicure at Sakura. Definitely I missed something here.
Now I have two more reasons to go back to NY. Well not that I need more...
I loved the Japanese influence in this not to be missed spots.

ps: BTW Sakura means Cherry Blossom


Fondly,
Angie

I know I know... its not new but...

it's sooooo beautiful! I had to share with you my excitement when I received my new Chanel Nailpolish Jade. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but I LOVE IT!!!! It is super chic!
The only problem is that we might be all walking around with the same color!!! ughh.

Es B E L L O!!! Yo no estaba segura de si me iba a gustar y LO AMO! Es super Chic y no se ve para nada "monstruoso" cosa que puede pasar con muchos esmaltes verdes... yo ya probe! Jade es genial, se los recomiendo!

XOXO,
Ang
