POSHElist: All I Want For Christmas

They say put it out into the Universe if you want it to happen, and where better place to speak it into being than on my blog. So, Christmas is a week away and I've been more consumed with what to get for others - as it should be - than with taking a moment to think what I would like....so here goes.. my POSHE wishlist :) 

1. Versace "Bright Crystal" Eau De Toilette

 

I know, not a light wishlist but a girl can dream right - and hey, dreams do come true ;) I'd love to hear what's on your list this Christmas....

POSHElist: Lusting for Fall 2015

What's on my wish list this season? Quality not Quantity - that's for sure! Here are a few pieces I am going absolutely gaga for this fall.  

The black has been a love for a little while now and a necessity for any wardrobe (black boots that is), but this wine color Valentino is fall trend perfection and sure to score major style points this fall. 

Long sweaters aren't exactly a crazy trend this fall but they are always chic and so versatile. I love wearing as a dress with thigh high boots, over a maxi skirt for feminine layers, and with stockings and ankle boots. Kenzo makes some of the best sweaters and this one is no different. 

The lace-up look has been trending all summer and continues into fall. Naturally, as it's cooling down, the close toe, ballet flats is the style of choice and I am smitten with these snake prints from Asos. 

Gimme, gimme, gimme more! I love Louboutin and I dream of these "So Kate" being home sweet home. A leopard print pump is a classic that works with everything, so investing in a pair will serve you well. 

Pleats and leather - a match made in heaven for me! I am obsessed with this 1.State colorblock skirt. It's the perfect blend of sophisticated, edgy and chic. Be sure to include pleated skirts in your fall style...you wont regret it!  

 

What do you think about my lust list....are you loving or leaving this fall?

POSHE Profile: Italian-Brazilian Designer Paula Cademartori

With Spring and Summer coming (yay!), my eyes and mind have been consumed with colors - vibrant, vivid, gorgeous colors - and I've found the perfect stimuli to indulge my senses.  

Designer, Paula Cademartori

About a year ago, I noticed Paula Cademartori bags being worn by major editors and bloggers, like Anna Dello Russo and Miroslava Duma, but it wasn't until recently that I realized the design genius of its designer and the story behind the brand. 

Anna Dello Russo 

Miroslava Duma 

The Brazilian-born, Milan-based designer, Paula Cademartori, designs colorful geometric patchwork purses and bags that look like little works of art. The former Versace accessories designer has a stocklist that includes Net-a-Porter and Moda Operandi. Her line is whimsical yet structured, with an intelligent and creative approach to style and functionality. She is renown for her color-blocking sensibility and each piece is finished off with a distinctive metal-and-enamel buckle instead of a branded logo.  “The aim of the brand is very feminine; it’s sensual; it’s ecstatic, geometric lines,” says Paula.

Cademartori's bi-cultural life is a clear inspiration for her designs. Her merger of two worlds; the vibrant and exuberant Brazil, with the polished and quality-focused Italy, can be seen in all her creations. She was raised in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where she studied jewelry design, and moved to Italy in 2005 to earn a master’s degree in accessory design. After working for other brands, she launched her own line in 2010 at the age of 26 and her brand has been growing ever since. She is now extending into other categories and recently launched her first shoes collection during Milan Fashion Week, and they are just as stimulating as the bags. “Women who wear them,” she says, “will feel super-sexy, super-cool, super-glamorous, super-wow.”

POSHE Picks: Oscars 2015 Best Dressed

It was difficult choosing a top 5 for this list, as all the stars at this year's Oscars 2015 Academy Awards looked amazing. It was beautiful gowns - one after the other - and the ladies' makeup and hair was done impeccably and to perfection.  I could go on listing, but these are my personal favorites. 

Rosamund Pike 

She doesn't have the best track record in her choices for the red carpet, as seen at the Golden Globes and SAG awards, but Rosamund Pike saved the best for last at the 2015 Oscars. The Gone Girl actress wore a show-stopping red scallop bodice and lace dress by Givenchy Couture. She paired it with simple and elegant red heels for a red-on-red look. Her makeup was subtle perfection, and the glamorous with an edgy surprise (did you see the back) up-do kept the focus on the gorgeous dress and her insane body after just having a baby. Wow! 

Jennifer Lopez

This stunning woman has surely found the fountain of youth somewhere - do tell! The Boy Next Door star looked like a true life princess in a Cinderella-inspired tulle gown with 3D applique details by Elie Saab. The all nude tone gave what is a dramatic piece; a soft, effortless and elegant aura. Known for a sexy smoky look, her makeup too was kept in light blush tones with a pop of pastel pink on the lips and hair in a sleek mid-ponytail. Jennifer Lopez just knows how to get it right! 

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon was the epitome of classic beauty in this timeless black and white gown by Tom Ford. The elegant off-the shoulder style is also very on trend, adding a demurely sexy touch. The dress fitted the Wild star's body perfectly, accentuating her feminine curves. Her make-up was kept light with natural matte lips and soft smoky eyes. Her hair was done with a center part and loose glamorous curls. She proves that sometimes less is more and simplicity is key. 

Jennifer Aniston 

The queen at finding that perfect balance between sweet and sexy. Jennifer Aniston made quite a statement in this perfectly fitted nude Atelier Versace gown with strategically placed sheer elements. The dress' intricate design of sequins shimmered on the red carpet and made the Cake star a glowing goddess. Her look was finished with natural looking lips, smoky eyes and soft wavy hair. Keep the glow coming Jennifer!  

Dakota Johnson

The 50 Shades of Grey star is on fire in this red one-shoulder gown by Saint Laurent. Though sleek and simple in context, the jeweled shoulder added just enough sparkle to transform her into red carpet royalty. She paired the dress with elegant metallic gun-metal heels and clutch, and diamond jewelry that complemented the shoulder detail. She went for nude eyes and red-on-red lips for the make-up. A mid-ponytail with her signature pangs finish this fiercely striking look.
