Comfy and Cute!

I'm obsessed with this look!!

This is how you wear a Jean Shirt!

A Rockstar at Work?

Just to spice it up. Here's a work outfit...yeah, it's a work outfit. I don't care what my mommy says!

A Little Gold is Good for the Soul!

This goldy disco shirt works great together with these reddish leggings. Super comfortable and very easy.

Layering gone Bohemian Rhapsody:)

Here's a perfect example of what I like to call "fashion season recycling". You grab your brightest summer maxi dress and then layer with another summer dress. Add some jewelry, a bright bag (or not) and grab an oversized necklace only to place it on your head...kind of like a tiara. Don't you love it? It's heaven!!


Ps. Now you try it!

Look of the Day//9/24/11

This is a great way to spice up a long summery dress. It's called fashion recycling:) A cute leather jacket can spice up any outfit. Oh yeah, meet my model...Ruth.

Can I Get a Table Dance?/By: Alex Delotch Davis for Shukorina.com

I love New York, or at least the idea of New York. I watch from afar and imagine myself as one of these uber-classic, super modern girls who jet about town, photograph at the most fashionable parties, wear the sweetest dresses, air kiss in the daytime and dance on tables at night. That’s what I imagine of girls like Genevieve Jones. 

Look of the Day...

I've decided to give you guys a few 'look of the day' looks. My model Ruth looks amazing. Tell me what you guys think.

On Set...

...with a parking ticket.

I GOT A $25 TICKET! I'm ok though...actually I'm not! I hate getting tickets, it's like gambling and loosing money. This is why I don't gamble. I can't handle the thought of loosing or failing like that. Well you know what I mean. Anyway, the other day we did a photo shoot with a singer here in Atlanta, GA. That's all the info I can give you right now;)

Back to my ticket. I'm so annoyed!

Pharrell Launches Qream Liqueur in Atlanta

Last night was the launch of Pharrell Williams Liqueur 'Qream'. Although it was super drizzly Ruth and Alex were the troopers in our group and totally braved the weather. I on the other hand was still stuck in front of the computer. It's ok though...was on the phone w/ my one and only;)

Smooch!

Oh, Starbucks...my feelings are hurt!

I have been on a strict NO Starbucks diet for almost 1 year. Actually ever since Sineet moved:( sadness in my corazón. Sorry for the sleezy Spanglish:) it's something new I'm trying. I kind of like it! Anyway, I'm not a coffee drinker so my Starbucks drink of choice is Earl Grey Tea Latte. I used to love that little cup of delicioso...however, at the risk of sounding like a Tea-Elitist there are only a few locations that know how to really get it right. It's an art to get it perfect. I'm so serious!!! This is where my <3 would tell me that I'm a drama queen, which I'm NOT, obviously.

So this morning I decided to break my Starbucks hiatus with a nice, hot cup of tea. FAIL! They could have given me detergent or even dog food and it probably would have tasted the same as the drink that I'm staring at right now. I sort of want to go Godzilla on the cup, but I'm thinking I would get arrested if I did that and I have a very important meeting today at 12 that I cannot be 1 second late to!!! 

In conclusion, I'm back on my diet!!!

Ps. My Favorite Starbucks Coffe Shop in Atlanta, GA is the one located on Lavista Rd (Lavista and North Druid Hills) aka the Romantic Starbucks!!!

Smooch!

What a day!

Today has been a long and great day of errand running. I have no idea if I just stated an oxymoron, but I love getting things done!!! I ran my errands, H's errands and even had time to meet up with a few people as well as have some great conversations. You have to love over productive days such as these:)

After a busy morning I decided to stop by Atlantic Station and check out some of the Pop-Up stores. Obviously I got stuck at Estella Boutique's space. If you ask me, I think they should stay there forever and ever until all eternity. Everything in there is so girly and pretty!!! I'll show you guys what I got another time, it was super cute though:) 


Later on I had a loooong conversation with my gorgeous mommy, which made me super happy:)

So anyway...right now I'm harrassing a certain someone, who just asked me to stop talking...INDEFINITELY! I don't know what it is, but whenever someone asks me to be quite, I kind of want to speak even more. Don't know what that is. Could be the fact that I never really rebelled when I was younger. 

In the mail...//What to wear?

Chanel Rouge à Lèvres//By: Alex Delotch Davis for Shukorina.com

I just bought my first Chanel lipstick and lip gloss. I was pretty loyal to another makeup brand but after consistently feeling like I wasn’t getting the service I wanted at the counter, not to mention always feeling crowded out by other shoppers, at which point the salesperson would be torn between finishing what we started and capturing the sale at the other end of the table, I decided to see what a high-end makeup shopping experience felt like. I was not disappointed.

For starters, there aren’t too many people spending $30 on a lipstick so I didn’t have to peer over several lady’s shoulders to get a look at the selection, which, incidentally, was much smaller than my former favorite, i.e. less overwhelming. Second, the service was fantastic. The clerk was pleasant and even eager to help me find the right color, and she did!  I’m no makeup expert; clothes, yes, makeup, no. If I come to a makeup counter it’s because I need help. I would rather spend $30 on one lipstick that works than $30 on 5 that don’t (that’s what happens to me when I try to buy drugstore style). 

Swedish Fashion Designer Ann-Sofie Back// Elegance for the Thinking Woman

VA: How would you describe your personal style and the Ann-Sofie Back Collection?

ASB: The collection is called Ann-Sofie Back Atelje, to mark the move to a proper luxury line. It's elegance for the thinking women, clearly someone who dresses for herself and with a sense of underlying humour.

VA: If you could only wear one designer your whole life (your line not included), who would it be?

ASB: That is impossible to say, I don't buy a lot of other designers.

VA: Name a celebrity that you would want to dress?

ASB: I like this quite new actress, Soarsie Ronan. Noomi Rapace I have dressed for the Venice Film festival as well as Robyn, women I really respect. It would be nice to dress a more mature person, like Angelica Houston or Yoko Ono. Now latest, the Swedish crown princess Victoria wore our diffusion line BACK to the Polar Prize awards ceremony, she looked really great!

VA: You have worked for other Swedish brands. How would you describe the Swedish fashion industry?

ASB: It's never better than it's weakest link.

VA: Name your top three designers.

ASB: Miuccia Prada (the most clever), Martin Margiela (I find him the most influential for me) and Coco Chanel.

VA: Finish this sentence: On a day in the dessert I would wear....

ASB: I would never be in the desert, I'm not adventurous in that way.

Spotted: First Lady Michelle Obama in Prabal Gurung

Who: Non other than the First Lady herself.
What: A White silk twill gazar exploded bow racerback tank from the Spring 2010 collection.
Where: At the 'A Concert for Hope' to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Fashion Week + Prabal Gurung = LOVE

Here are some looks from Prabal's collection. Do you love it? Do you, do you? :)

ADAM TENSTA//Scared of the Dark!!!

Music lovers everywhere are falling for Adam Tensta. Whether a Hip Hop fan or not you can't deny the talent of this young Swedish hit maker. His debut Album 'It's A Tensta Thing' earned him a Swedish Grammy. Not too shabby, if you ask moi!!

VA: So I understand that Tensta is your artist name. Where does it come from?

AT: I took the name Tensta from the place Tensta. A project on the north-west side of Stockholm.

VA: As you know, my name is Viktorya Abraham, what would my artist name be? You never know, I might start rapping. (Don’t worry, if I do, we’ll definitely do a duet)

AT: Well, where are u from? U should do the same thing I did, name yourself after the place u from:)


VA: Ok. I'm from Hjällbo...so, Viktorya Hjällbo from now on:)


AT: Hjääällllboooooooo!
VA: Yeah, baby!

VA: You’re from Sweden. What’s the hip hop industry like over there?

AT: Well, Hiphop has been around as long as I have lived, so it's not a new genre any more. It's well grown into the everyday life of the average Swedish person under the age of 25. Sweden has been a stronghold for Pop and Rock music for a long time and it's only now that Hiphop is starting to get the recognition it deserves.

VA: Name your favorite Swedish rapper (besides yourself, of course).
