The Start to a Fashion Filled Journey

It all started on May 11, 2011. I had a vision of a blog that would attract thousands of viewers everyday to gain insight on the fashion world. I imagined my blog to be recognized in the fashion industry with personal stories that concocted to the amazing world of fashion. I researched into starting a blog and the first website that I looked at was tumblr. I spent full 24-hour days just sitting there looking at all the couture collections. This is when I fell in love. 

I knew about fashion long before last summer, and I always new that I wanted to be a part of it. But it was tumblr where I learned everything from couture, to ready-to-wear, to all the designers, and the true meaning behind fashion. Spring/Summer 2012 was the first season that I payed attention to. Ever since Ive always had a desire to be successful.

My inspiration doesn't just come from the fashion world. I find something interesting and inspiring in everything. Im working on my Spring/Summer 2013 collection right now and I have high hopes for my self. I started posting on blogger in the beginning of 2012. I felt like I needed to express my love for the fashion world through words more than pictures and 15 word posts. I try to bring new ideas and posts to the fashion industry. I won't settle for anything less because I am determined to work for my spot in the fashion industry. I want to travel the world and document everything.

San Francisco. Pier 39.

And so the journey begins.

A Look Back: Spring/Summer 2012 Haute Couture

The 12 most prestigious fashion houses of the fashion community get to show their haute couture collections every season in Paris, France. Monochromatic looks at Alexis Mabille, Donetella being back on the lineup, fantastic set at Chanel, new creative director for Dior, and everything in-between was truly amazing. here is my usual 8 after the jump! xo, Estelle


1) Givenchy
The oversized nose jewelry and major earring hoops were tastefully styled with the amazing couture dresses. This collection to me, captured the essence of couture: wearable masterpieces. The darkness of the pieces had a romantic edge to it and sparkled during the showcase.

2) Atelier Versace
Although i was expecting long elegant dresses, the sculptured collection didn't disappoint me at all. The minimal smokey eye makeup shifted the attention perfectly to the small, but wonderful, 15 piece collection. Corseted gowns with metallic detailing put this collection at the top of my list.

3) Elie Saab
This collection just screams red carpet. Periwinkle blue and cotton candy pink, pastel greens was the main color scheme. The ponytails in my mind was one of the best aspects of the show; they were chic and a stubble statement. And one more thing, can I please get married in the last look that Toni wore?

Met Gala 2012 Favorites

The New York event that sparkles and shines every year. Where Fashion Meets Hollywood in the most glamours event of the year.  The best? Marc Jacobs in a lace dress, it doesn't get better than that. one thing that made me laugh was that if you streamed the Gala live from Vogue.com, gosh the hosts are awkward! I usually post the photos but since the list is so so so long, i will include the links to the photos i posted on my tumblr. heres my usual top 8! xo

Window Silhouette

Its been a rough couple of months. School has been super stressful but I'm back and going to post weekly now that there is less than a week of school left!
I went to an art show two weeks ago in the city. I later went to the mall to have dinner with my dad and by the time we finished, the mall was pitch black; well, except for the window displays. It looked like they were coming to life and one that really caught my attention was the display in Nordstrom. The neon light fixtures on the wall, the mirrors and the warrior like poses the mannequins made it look like a resort. Check out the photos!
