STYLE ICONS: MARGHERITA MISSONI

Hi guys! This post will be about another of my favorite style icons and muses: Margherita Missoni.  Margherita Missoni is the heiress and ambassador to her family's Missoni fashion house, which was founded by her grandparents, Rosita and Ottavio Missioni.

Margherita grew up in Italy and went to school in Milan and Rome and lived in Barcelona and NYC. Before she appeared in Missoni campaigns, se was the fashion house ambassador, a responsibility involving publicity at fashion related events. Missoni explained that becoming the face of Missoni as "a natural evolution."

Aside from being the heiress to the Missoni empire, Margherita is also a prominent fashion "it" girl. Margherita's style is also not what is normally seen from many heiresses, even on formal events you can see the inspiration of the bohemian and hippie in Margherita. I love her style because it reflects her personality and because she's is not afraid of having fun with what she wears, I absolutely adore her way of mixing and matching prints and colors. 

Margherita inspires with her elegance because she decides to wear clothes that not only speak to her family's aesthetic but her own, something that is gradually becoming one and the same. Margherita is the definition of the Missioni brand.

WE WEAR THE PANTS

Happy Monday, spring is just around the corner! Like I said in my past blog post, I'm liking this warm weather  because it is preparing me for the beach this weekend.  Today I want to talk about an item that I'm currently loving: beach pants. I'm loving them because they are a warm weather staple and you don't have to be at the beach to rock them, just pair them with a casual top and some leather sandals and you are  ready for this season. Beach pants are so perfect for warm weather because they are light and and easy to wear. I recommend everyone to own at least a pair. Would you be purchasing them?

SPRING, YOU INSPIRE ME

I'm so happy because spring is almost here and I'm so ready for it to begin. I went shopping this week and I'm feeling so inspired with all the bright colors and prints, they go perfectly with this weather. I'm also feeling pretty ecstatic because next weekend I'm going to the beach and I'm going through the outfits that I'm going to wear over there. Right now, I'm loving maxi dresses, denim shorts and hats. What are you loving this spring?

I ❤ BALMAIN

In this blog post I will tell you about my complete obsession with Balmain. There are about a million reasons why it is one of my favorite French fashion houses of all time, one of them being that every piece is completely more gorgeous than the last. My obsession with Balmain started almost four years ago when I was flipping through the pages of a Vogue magazine and it was love at first sight. 

 I think Balmain caught my attention because each piece that the fashion house designs is the definition of rocker chic with a classic twist and that is totally my style. I love that Balmain also incorporates black, gold and structured pieces in every collection; they've become a synonym of the brand.

Now, let's talk about the Balmain Fall/Winter 2013 collection. My favorite pieces of the show are those famous structure jackets with big shoulders that Balmain is known for, they are to die for. I would love to have every piece in my closet. (A girl never has too many jackets, or clothes for that matter) But let's not forget about those tapered trousers, they are oh so chic and versatile. I've seen a lot of trousers these season so I have to get my hands in a couple of pairs or maybe more. OK, I have a little shopping problem. Don't judge me. Who doesn't? Another trend at the show was the primary colors: ruby red, blue and emerald. Balmain is a box full of pleasant surprises.
