Obsession: Crystal Renn in VOGUE Mexico

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Taisa

Crystal Renn has been one of my favorite models not just because of her beauty but also because of her personal strength. Not only she has proven that a curvy woman can be the model for a high end brand such as Dolce & Gabbana but she also wrote a book, “Hungry: A Young Model’s Story of Appetite, Ambition, and The Ultimate Embrace of Curves.” Above, the photos show Renn with a healthy weight and looking gorgeous in a fashion story for the May issue of VOGUE Mexico.

Cinemagraphs founders Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg of From Me To You created this awesome gif featuring Alice + Olivia‘s designer Stacey Bendet. The collaboration celebrates the launch of MAGNUM Mini Bars for which Bendet will design a limited edition mini skirt to be unveiled during her Spring 13′ presentation at NYFW.

I’m a big fan of MAGNUM and to celebrate the gorgeous weather in NYC there’s nothing better than treating yourself to a MAGNUM white ice cream bar!

Obsession: Tattoo Sleeves

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Taisa

These sleeves were given out at SXSW and apparently everyone was wearing them there. I decided to try them on today and am digging this look. Check out the fashion editorial above, how sick does that look? I think it makes a statement and makes people wonder if you really have that many tattoos or not… so much for the imagination.

Obsession: Stuart Weitzman Shoes

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Taisa

This week my obsession with shoes had a resurrection after I attended the Stuart Weitzman event hosted by Leandra Medine. As I arrived to the party, which was DJ’d by Solange Knowles, I spotted the famous ‘Capsize’ shoes in the blush color on Leandra’s feet and was instantly in love. I tried them on in my size and instantly my feet looked so sexy (hein, toe cleavage!). Yes, I gave in and bought them (check out Leandra’s ‘thumps up’ above). I chose the blush colored ones but they come in mint green and black as well. Check them out here.

This past Friday I had the chance to hang out with W27′s Photo Editor and personal friend Camilla Mayer. We hung out at her place in the Meatpacking District and because I was loving my outfit that day and asked her to take some shots using Instagram. Check out the results above!

Happenings: Earnest Sewn Fall 2012 Preview

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Taisa

One of my favorite stores in the Meatpacking District, Earnest Sewn, hosted their press preview with live music from The Beard, cocktails, and food provided by Dos Caminos. It was the perfect setting for a mini concert as the sun set and rays reflected through the store (see photo above). The denim for Fall come in different colors including bright yellow, tangerine orange, acqua blue, dark blue, as well as acid wash and tie-dye. One of my favorite pairs from the collection was the “TRON” jeans in white with black stitching. I also liked a pair of black skinny jeans covered in black sequins, which created a cool texture.

At the event I spotted some of my favorite bloggers: Natalie Suarez, Claire Geist, Christina Caradona, and FrouFrouu.

Obsession: Rachel Zoe Look Book shot by Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Taisa
