What's Next? FILM: My Week With Marilyn

2011-09-06T13:44:00.002-04:00

I am so excited and can't wait to see Michelle Williams in My Week With Marilyn.
By this one image alone I love how she looks as Marilyn Monroe. I already love her acting in Blue Valentine.
The movie release date is Friday, November 4th, 2011.

FILM: Circumstance

2011-09-05T02:29:00.007-04:00

I just saw the film Circumstance this week Sept 4th, 2011. In my opinion it's an amazing movie. The editing, the shots, the writing, everything is beautiful and more... It's very raw. It felt very real to me. Then again wtf do I know about Iran.

But seriously, I'll tell you what I'm mostly in love with; the fact that the writing and directing comes from the perspective of an Iranian-American female that is now looking back reflecting on many of her own experiences and has decided to share with all of us.

Therefore, to Maryam Keshavarz I would like to say thank you for sharing with all of us and congrats on winning the Sundance Audience Award 2011.

I'm In LV

2011-03-09T13:40:00.013-05:00

It all very regal and luscious. I love the sheer, cinched waist, caged details, bellboy look, and glass microscope slides in triangle shapes.

This reminds of the french Madeline cartoon (above)

My all time favorite outfit (above) of the collection. I would wear this look from top to bottom.

Madeline (again), I think it's the Peter Pan collar (above).

Are you in LV??

The Liquor Store-J.Crew

2011-03-07T11:58:00.009-05:00

The J.Crew Men's shop, The Liquor Store

The Tribeca tavern located in a landmark 1825 townhouse.

Same location on March 4th, 2011- now a Men's J.Crew shop
Located at 235 West Broadway NY NY

The original wood bar is still intact.
Make sure you look behind the bar for vintagey decor details.

This sign is beautiful

Store Hours- looks like it was done with chalk but maybe its just a white marker.

If you haven't been in here, man or women... you should go...
It's such a peaceful and beautiful store. The overall feeling of the store and in the store is phenomenal. I wish I had more excuses to go there. Maybe one day they will integrate women's clothing into the shop.

According to Pantone, the infamous color forecasters, the colors below are trending for Spring 2011 according to the most utilized colors of NYFW's collections. I love these colors. However, I have a color that I'm keeping tabs on... Lime Punch!!
I saw it on the cover of Vogue, Feb 2011 as an accent...

And I see it on the new Furla Mango "Futura" croco shopper!!!

I'll take any of these cute little accessories as additions to my wardrobe this Spring...

Mommie Dearest-rewatch

2011-02-08T11:43:00.002-05:00

Ever since I was a kid I absolutely loved the film Mommie Dearest with Faye Dunaway. It was captivating then and it's still captivating now. It's intense and full of drama.

Anyhow, if you haven't seen this film, you need to watch it and if you haven't seen it in a while, re-watch it. My cousin Maddy and I recently watched it and kept quoting Mommie Dearest, it was lol for days....

I would love do to a spread inspired by Mommie Dearest. I found a spread done by Numero in October 2008. It's really good but I have something else in mind.

Aside from lots of neutrals the Golden Globe red carpet had a splash of green. It literally

made me green with envy.
Why not wear green this Valentine's Day??

The color orange....

2011-01-24T14:39:00.000-05:00

I have about three orange items in my entire wardrobe... I think. I never wear them and I don't know why. However, this year I'm going to make an effort to add orange!

Yesterday, I read something about orange courtesy of the (ICFS) International Conference of Fashion Stylists.

Wearing orange is a fantastic way to command attention. A combination of passionate red and happy yellow. Orange is intellectually stimulating, but also signifies warmth, energy, change, and health.

Here's an outfit that I would wear with these orange heels.

Cheeseburger madness...

2011-01-20T22:53:00.008-05:00

Amongst my many other dreams....
I've been dreaming of warm sunny days, the beach, the ocean, bike rides, popsicles, parks, picnics, fireworks and 4th of July, which brings me to burgers...

How much fun are these burger accessories? I just had to share!!
I would definitely buy the barrettes and wear them on the 4th of July.... But I would also get the phone and the ring.... And I adore the burger soap!!

Which ones would you get?

The Juno cheeseburger phone

Knit cheeseburger coaster set

Q. Pot cheeseburger stackable charms necklace

Cheeseburger iPhone case

The cheeseburger dress

Cheeseburger hairpins

Cheeseburger and fries soap for an outdoor barbecue party or for your everyday life.

Cheeseburger earrings

The Black Swan

1/13/2011

2011-01-13T14:48:00.004-05:00

And on the 13th day of the January a fabulous person was born. She was then and is now above all... Loved.

A dreamer and even a bigger whimsical believer. The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorites stories because there is no place like home. Because like the Lion I yearned for courage and like the Tin man I realized that the human heart is amazing.

And now I get to pass on all my fabulousness and all my love to another baby girl. For me she embodies all the joy in the world and everything about her lets me know that I am home.

And just like that the cycle of life continues... Happy Birthday to me!! Another year in the cycle of life...

The FROG....

2011-01-12T22:04:00.005-05:00

The most popular use of a frog in a movie/book is the kissing of a frog to become a prince.

However, in China, the frog represents the lunar yin. They have even created a frog spirit, Ch’ing-Wa Sheng, which is associated with healing and good fortune, which is one of the main reasons why you will see a lot of frog relics around businesses and in homes.

I decided that this ring is...
1. Gorgeous
2. Easier to kiss than any real frog
3. Will bring me good fortune

Note: An all gold version of this Lucifer Vir Honestus frog ring has been spotted on Drew Barrymore.

I'm on the hunt for these glitter belts...

2011-01-10T13:24:00.001-05:00

They are from J.Crew and at $25 each, I would love to have them all. However, I just looked online with no luck...

Let me know if any particular store has them...

Viva Vivi!!

2010-12-27T21:13:00.008-05:00

I've had the honor to receive one of Vivi Randazzo's latest headpieces. One of the things that I like best about her jewelry is that it's different. Vivi Randazzo's headpieces are jewelry for your head.

When I wore it, the headpiece made me feel a bit free and hippy-ish. Everyone in my family kept asking me about it... They asked silly questions, such as, what are you wearing on our head? Everyone wanted me to try it as a necklace so I did.

It kinda works as a necklace but it kinda doesn't. Picture below...

Overall, I love the headpiece and it's something I wear when I want to stand out and make a statement, for sure.

While the fashion industry is abuzz, with such things as Tom Fords new line, Willow's nails. While the Black Swan is a hit... I still keep thinking about the same thing...
Shoes shoes and more shoes.... I actually have shoes inside drawers that I swear to you and to everyone that one day I will wear one day.

Here is my latest love. We were introduced by my cousin, Dianna.

A Staple Purchase

2010-12-10T15:38:00.002-05:00

My latest bootie purchase. I don't feel like it's a super exciting purchase but I do feel like I needed it. I bought the red toned bootie. And the best part of them is that they are comfortable...

Hit or miss?

Vogue vs. Vogue

2010-12-07T14:14:00.002-05:00

Because of America's Next Top Model I started pondering on magazines around the globe. Oh BTW, I collect magazines when I'm traveling. It's like a time stamp that works along with my passport stamps. Either way, I'm wondering how different are they??

These two covers are December 2010 for Vogue USA and Vogue Italia.
I have my own opinion. But what do you guys think? Does one look better than the other in any way?

Enid P.
Opinion: To be posted later on today...

Calvin Klein Fall/Winter 2010

2010-12-06T01:41:00.009-05:00

I have to be honest with you. I never even look at the Men's runway collection but I think this has been an error of mine. But, this is so interesting, these suits look like trash bags.

Questions....
Does it make a crinkiling noise like trash bags?
Will this suit make you sweat when you are indoors and really cold outdoors?
What material was used?
How was this lined?

Brevity, the lines collection

2010-12-03T13:19:00.001-05:00

I love this jewelry, the lines collection, Brevity. It is creative, yet simple. The clean lines and the uniqueness of the collection are what I look for in jewelry. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these necklaces but I have to be honest with you, I can't decide which one I love the best.

Drop me a line and let me know what you think...

PINK FRIDAY!!

2010-11-30T22:52:00.005-05:00

This is such a genius idea.

Nicki Minaj dropped a new album on Black Friday named Pink Friday and is collaborating with MAC Cosmetics for a new lipstick color named....... yup!!!

PINK FRIDAY!!

And it's only available for 4 Fridays starting November 26th.

Why it's such a Genius idea??

1. Supply is limited-which creates demand.

2. Fans (tweens and teens, etc.) with lots of disposable income and time during the Holidays won't hesitate to buy and gift to friends.

Go Nicky!! You are a mothaf.... MONSTAH!!!!

As a Hello Kitty fan, I think these sneakers are really super cute for tweens and teens. I would give these as a gift for Christmas!!

They are soo easy to dress up or dress down...

TOP SHOP COZY

2010-11-05T12:36:00.003-04:00

I love these 2 jackets from Top Shop for their delicious color and their shape. They are both waist defining as well as simply not black. I love black but whenever possible I love trying something other than black because it's more vibrant and more fun!

Both of these jackets use faux fur so no animals were hurt in the process. I do love the peplum jacket much better but it does have a very proper girly look.

Any thoughts?

Dookie Bracelets

They claim to be the best bangles because they don't make any noise and they are cushioned.

P.S. Since my wrists are so small the best news for me is that they will custom make them in my size.

I would love to see what other prints come up next!!

2010-09-03T14:40:00.003-04:00

I just found JNBY.... What's your impression?

JNBY stands for Just Naturally Be Yourself. This line originated in China and is now taking over the USA with it's comfortable, neutral and convertible knits where a dress, turns into a jacket and into a top... in essence just wear it however you like...

I love everything about this line but the price point $130 to $300.

The Neon Belt Story!!

2010-08-30T23:34:00.001-04:00

I first saw this neon belt on my friend Beverly and I straight up asked for it... And I tried to give her the guilt trip too.

The request went a lil' like this:
Bev, I have known you for 9 years and I have never asked you for anything. I love that belt! Can you give it to me?

The answer was no and even though my hopes remained high. I honestly didn't think the request was feasible.

Now, fast forward to last week. I went to the Riverhead, NY outlets and I found the belt.

I'm ecstatic and on top of that on sale for the very affordable price of $17.00.

Enid P.

Animal Print Forever and Ever

2010-08-06T13:01:00.005-04:00

Animal print is one of those accessories that don't ever go out of style. They also go very well with most items in most wardrobes.

So when I walked into Nine West and saw these heels I couldn't resist and I had to buy them.

I don't own that many sneakers but these kinda jumped at me and told me to buy them.

A quick phone call to my brother, RJ provided me with a deep discount.

Watcha think?

A time piece...

2010-07-10T11:57:00.002-04:00

Tag Heuer Formula 1 hunter green rubber time piece, I am in love. Reminds me of army fatigue. I am a super girlie girl most of the time. I think that this watch would add such a juxtaposition to my style.

ahhhh... Enid P. "Dare to Dream"

Oh Val! Nine West

2010-07-02T12:07:00.002-04:00

I like this shoe and I don't all at the same time. Add the fact that the shoe costs $199 from the Boutique 9 collection at Nine West (named Val). I think this is too much money but it's something about this caged shoe with a big bow in my ankles that says "buy me and do whatever you need to do to take me home".

I need help....

The Genuis-Madonna

2010-06-30T10:48:00.008-04:00

I think it's a genius marketing tactic to have Lourdes, Madonna's daughter blog about her mothers upcoming line, Material Girl Collection. It also feels like her 13 year old daughter is being pimped. Nevertheless, Madonna reinvents herself by all means necessary. I respect her for that... She's the first person to have done it. You just wait and see now, Shiloh will be blogging about Angelina Jolie's movie Salt in the next 3 days (bad joke).

A few things... Lourdes AKA Lola as she calls herself is hella cute. She has a unique perspective, a voice as a writer and overall an intriguing personality. It made me wanna read it and at the end of the day that's all that counts.

Kudos to Madonna, Lola and that awesome marketing team.

Do you agree or disagree?

Venus Williams WHY??

2010-05-23T22:41:00.008-04:00

I'm not into bashing people. It's just not my thing. But I just saw these pictures on Yahoo and I just have to say something. Not much... just something.

Yes, this is a horrible lace dress with red piping that would be better utilized in the bedroom. My momma taught me that there's a time and place for everything. I have to say the tennis court and the lace dress are not the right time with the right place.
But, let's forget all that for just ONE second and lets look at the rest of the outfit.
FINE, she wants to do the lace dress....

But then why use diamonds chandelier earrings and a diamond bracelet. Chandelier earrings?? Aren't you going to be running back and forth on the tennis court? Won't that pull and hurt your ears? Does she really need these on the court?
Then, she has the audacity to pair the diamond bracelet with a black scrüngi. If you want to be the bling blow girl on the court then do it right. Don't mix your bling with cheap rubber. Take off that tacky cheap scrüngi and put it in your bag, use it for your hair when you need it.

As if that was not enough, she didn't even wear black sneakers, she wore white sneakers when she's not wearing anything white. She has refuses to match. WHY?
It's just horrible all over. I can't stress it enough.

P.S. My theory is this, sometimes famous and accomplished people in their field don't get honest opinions from those around them out of fear that their feelings might get hurt.

Purchases...

2010-05-21T12:06:00.004-04:00

Spotted... Enid making some purchases....
I want this top in every color but I started with the white one. I bought this one at New York & Co.

Joe's jeans are so comfortable and they fit me well= win/win situation.

Colorful heels for Spring. I can't do black shoes when it's nice and sunny outside.

Any Feedback??

7 days till Sex and the City 2

2010-05-20T22:25:00.005-04:00

Only 7 more days until I can watch Sex and the city 2. I'm more curious than I am excited about what the movie will be about since I thought it a happily ever after ending for Sex and the City movie #1. I know that I need to watch just for the fashion styling if for nothing else.

Anyhow, below are some preview images... They make me wonder if they have given it all away...

Looks like the ending...

Miranda looks impeccable.

I love when Carrie wears her hair in a bun. I used to do it when my hair was long.

I do not love this dress. It's safe to say that I might actually hate it!

Karaoke?

that baby looks like Harry...

I'm guessing this is the beginning of the movie.

The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada

2010-05-11T20:57:00.004-04:00

Are we going back to Chopines?
I went to Toronto on April 3rd and visited the Bata Museum. I thought these shoes were quite insane, they were called Chopines (details below).

Shoes, Swedish, 17th century, on loan from Skokloster Castle, Sweden
The architecture of this shoe is highly idiosyncratic. The shoemaker made a sole by combining elements of a chopine with a high heel and he made an upper that combines a shoe and a mule. It seems that the shoemaker was attempting to merge the extreme elevation offered by the chopine with the up-to-the-minute fashion of high heels. The resultant shoes are a remarkable statement of ostentatious display.

Here's another one...

Italian, 1580-1620, Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, Canada
This pair of velvet covered chopines embellished with lace, ruching and tassels were clearly never intended to be worn as overshoes but instead were items of luxury in the wardrobe of an upper-class woman.

Now!!!
Don't the shoes below seem to be inspired by chopines (aka impossible to wear fashionable shoes)?

I thought is was an interesting observation....

Cuffed Sandals

2010-05-02T22:42:00.006-04:00

I just received an email from Piperlime.com regarding these new trend in sandals. In the email they called them Cuffed Sandals and on the website they are called The New Gladiators.

To be honest with you, I think they look super cute, but I just don't understand them. Why would I choose to wrap my ankles? It feels wrong to wrap my ankles with leather or anything in the Summer. It just doesn't make sense.

It looks constricting... and it kinda looks like a straight jacket situation... Doesn't it?
But, I see everyone wearing them. What do you all think?

2010-05-01T01:04:00.005-04:00

This top from Club Monaco reminds me of 2 very different and distinct things.

1. It reminds me of the movie The Devil Wears Prada at the Runway meeting over the April issue when an Editor suggests Florals...LOL

"EDITOR: Well... they're showing a lot of florals right now, so I was thinking...
MIRANDA PRIESTLY: Florals? For spring? Ground breaking. "

Now, every time I see florals or anyone mentions florals for Spring, I always think about that scene.
2. and the Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 collection, when the florals were paired with leather or black. It looked so fresh and so new. I looks unexpectedly cute cute.

In conclusion, I love this top as well as the complete Club Monaco floral collection for this 2010 Spring/Summer and will definitely pair them with black.
Hopefully, no one will tell me. Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking! LOL

News news read all about it..NIKE & MANGO

2010-05-01T00:56:00.004-04:00

Mango and Nike have collaborated to create a The Nike Delphia trainers, inspired by running Bowerman model of the 70's (confession: I don't really know what that is, and even worse, I really don't care).
These sneakers look nice, but honestly until I know what the MSRP is I won't be able to determine their purchase-ability (a made up word). However, what I must say is this....partnerships among retailers make me happy because they always create a win/win situation.

Cover Girl-Dania Ramirez

2010-04-19T23:36:00.007-04:00

I was getting a manicure yesterday and noticed that Dania Ramirez was everywhere in the Vanidades and Latina magazine via the Covergirl campaign. It fills me with immense joy to see that she's 1. getting a paycheck,
2. getting lots of exposure and
3. representing Latinas.

I want to Thank her for being a great role model thus far.
The part about Dania Ramirez that resonates with me so much is that she, just like me, is Dominican born; It allows me to dream for a little longer, smile a little wider and believe...and that is the gift that she has given me.

From my heart to your Dania-Keep Going!! I love you..

I need shoes for...

2010-04-18T00:16:00.003-04:00

I need shoes for the dress below to wear to a wedding. What shoes should I buy? I never bought shoes for this dress and I have worn it only once before even though I absolutely love the dress. The mid section is not transparent even though the image makes it seem that way.

I'm contemplating one of these shoes but am not committed to them. I want the shoes to be wearable with other outfits as well.

The accessory that I will be wearing.

Please, please, please (please 3X) let me know what you think? let me get your suggestions..

I was walking to my boot camp workout yesterday when this window display caught my eye. It's for Artistic Tile in NYC. I think it's phenomenal, maybe we'll see something like it on the runway this Fashion Week coming up (Feb 11th-18th).

One window display showed female attire.

And the other window, very appropriately displayed male attire.

It's beautiful Art.
