Venexiana Spring/Summer 2015: New York Fashion Week

It's bittersweet sorrow thinking summer has come to an end, but it is also exciting because that means New York fashion week begins. This season started on Sept 4th and will run until Sept 11th. On Saturday Sept 6th 2014, I had the privilege of attending Venexiana Spring/Summer 2015 fashion show during Mercedes Fashion week in NY. I was invited and accepted without a second thought.
This collection was filled with future red carpet looks for the Emmy's and Oscars. One can only hope more stylist would dress the stars in these beautiful Venexiana gowns.

 Although I did not have an assigned seat, I was very happy where I ended up.
I ended up sitting on the floor next to the media photographers. These guys/gals are cool. They eat chocolate and red bull for lunch and kind of dress the same. They have a world within the fashion world. Mingling outside the seats becomes the best part of it all. You leave making "friends" who were on the same mission as you; that is to take photos and enjoy the show, even if it means you have to sit on the floor. I was truly happy to attend this show and to be up close to the models. I was able to see all the details on each gown.

In this collection you will see the mermaid silhouette, plunging necklines, open backs, one shoulder, beaded gowns with sequins and preciosa crystals. There was no holding back on the shimmer. Colors: Dusty rose, soft yellow, aqua, aquamarine, lilac, periwinkle, gold and black. Enjoy!

Hello World

Hello world out there

So, I've been MIA for a while in the blogging world and if you truly care about where I've been then you'll read on. *wink*

I've been pondering on life's "next" move and whatever that may be. I realized I do not want to take photos of my "daily outfits" and post them here. Although I instagram what I am wearing to capture color and pattern, I find it pointless to "instagram" my outfit and then have people stop by here only to see the same exact thing. Call me a fashion rebel I suppose.

Beside i've never been great at posting "daily outfits" because Lord knows I suck at keeping up with this blog when life calls. 

So summer came and "what did painthead do? I was enjoying my Papa Dios garden which I love because this time I grew some sunflowers. I've been practicing my french and italian and I am proud of how far i've come with it. I know someday I will go to France and Italy. 

When? Who knows when, but I know I will.

My birthday came and went…hooray! Another year older and another year realizing I am hoping for the same crap from last year. So…this is where I needed to start thinking about what I truly want in life, in terms of fashion and art, and start going for it. I read a quote that says "My biggest fear is being in the same place next year". Time will not wait and it's either now or never.

What else? My hair is Purple. So from this point on I will annoy you by continuing to write in purple. I really loved how my hair turned out and the best part was I did not use bleach AT ALL, not even to touch up the re-growth. I will make a post pretty soon about my hair and how you too can achieve bright colored hair without burning it to death bleach.

I'll leave you with my recent Polyvore fall sets.

Starry Starry Night

There's nothing more beautiful then seeing a fashion designer be inspired by one of my favorite artist: Vincent Van Gogh. I speak of Mattijs, who's fall 2014 collection during MBFW in Amsterdam was inspired by Van Gogh's colors and subjects(sunflower, Iris) Van Gogh's images were blown up to create abstract prints and patterns. I love the mood and scenary that was created as well along the runway. It truly captured what a Van Gogh painting brings to the viewer, especially the mood when gazing at the colors he typically used: Raw umber, raw sienna, olive green, chrome yellow, vermillion, prussian blue, china blue, emerald green, red lake and black.
