Miu miu really nailed it! Same dress in 4 (four) magazine covers in just 2 months. That’s what I call a magnificent PR team. The yellow wool flower appliqué dress from Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Campaign, was a complete Ad success. The guardian popped the news and since then controversy has been growing. Good news -for Miu Miu- is that the dress was featured in 2 different colors, Vogue UK and W magazine in yellow, while Elle Sweden & Elle UK were consistent with the lilac. W magazine was the trend setter as they released the dress on the July issue. Quite odd that 2 Elle magazines will feature the same dress in the same color, the same month. Usually things like that hardly occur as each international edition have its own regional editor-in-chief trying to create a compelling cover for their own markets.
Wore in the above picture by the American Model Lindsey Wixson on the oficial Miu Miu F/W Campaign. Below is Eva Mendes wearings the tangerine version on W magazine and Freja Beha Erichsen models the same one on the cover of UK Vogue.
Eye just called the LA store and the dress is not available in US stores yet. Fans will have to wait at least 3 weeks to get it. How much it will cost? The store representative said: “Not that much between $2,000 – $3,000″.
We could actually play, who wore it best? Lily Allen (UK Elle), Eva Mendes in the yellow version (W magazine), Freja Beha Erichsen (British Vogue) or Mona Johannesson (Elle Sweden)?
Wrong! This is not a picture of Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210. This is the new catalog from Zara. As I was browsing through the pictures, my eyes absolutely stopped and my head started playing the famous credit song. I think the 90′s rule and their comeback was expected. Over the past year we have seen how the trend is becoming stronger. Hope you enjoy the look book as much as I did.

Sadly for us she took of her hat.
Today the day was beautiful, the weather was warm (hot actually), everyone seemed happy walking, riding their bikes, skateboards, driving or running. I walked around Union Sq, Soma, the Mission and Dolores Park, looking for someone with a summer dress, or at least someone wearing vibrant colors. Couldn’t find it, and believe me I WALKED FOR HOURS!
The majority was wearing black or gray. If you open my closet you will see that 80% of my clothing is neutral (black, gray, white, ivory and beige, no brainers) but during the summer time I try to wear some color**. Anyways, Roberto Cavalli once said “Why make everything black, black, black? Fashion should be fun and put a woman in the spotlight with a little bit of danger, you know?” I don’t love the fashion tag in his quote, I rather call it style.
At San Fran people don’t really care for fashion and labels, here is all about your own style, mixing vintage with what you already have. But where are your grandma floral dresses? or your grandpas colorful plaid shirts? Come on… bring it on!
I will keep on looking; hopefully I will have some luck.
**For those of you who don’t know me, that’s me on the pic… I was wearing a summer floral dress)
The winner of all!
Come on! How can you beat her purple Built by Wendy dress, her Pinkyotto belt and APC moccasins?
She not only got the style, she also got the bags!
