SIWY Candies

Posted on 31 August 2009 by Haya

After a long trip to Barcelona, I have finally arrived but can’t seem to fight off this terrible jetlag! But today I decided to step out and walk around the city and find new stores, designers and “como no” street style…

I was not disappointed at all with what I was seeing in the streets of Barcelona, especially when I walked around the Old City also known as Barrio Gotico, where I saw a group of girls and one of them was wearing a pair of jeans that caught my eye. I decided I had to know where she got them, and who makes them! She said she got them in Paris in a boutique and commented that it was an LA based designer! So I decided to do my research online about SIWY and let you girls know so you can all look fabulous in your new coolest fall pair of SIWY!

Michelle Siwy, behind Siwy, is a designer based out of New York who wanted to add New York style to a mainly California dominated market. T’s denim that truly fascinates her: she looks at it from various perspectives, colourwashing it, creating incredible cuts and combining it with leggins. I love her denim creations, and her sequined leggins are really striking too. Season in season out, celebs like Sienna Miller and Kate Moss get their hands on a few pairs of her jeans.

Vintage details, lots of handmade details and an unmistakable style that’s revolutionising the industry. If you want to wear stylish jeans this fall, you need a pair of Siwys. Take a look at these 22 photos and find your pair…

Alexa Chung H&M Leggings

Posted on 29 August 2009 by Haya

I just got back from New York and feel overwhelmed with all the styles, window displays, street fashion and just fabulous old shopping:)

I promised myself I would go around Spring Street and Prince Street, and have a little peek around Soho and the Lower East Side, but all my time was consumed with the company of friends, dining, dancing and conversations in a Park Avenue apartment terrace overlooking the city!

What I did remember to do though is that I promised you girls to get another Alexa Chung look, but I thought why not give it a different twist? So no pics of Alexa today instead let’s get a Chung inspired look!

It is easy to get and sexy to wear, my favourite garment of this fall the H&M sequince leggings, you can’t go wrong with them, this is the key for any look and then you can add a loose top in any colour you choose, or a cute dress, or even a buttoned up boyfriend shirt! Check out the ones I have selected from Urban Outfitters as well as their new Silence & Noise blazers,( by the way Silence & Noise is my new favourite brand at the moment, so you know what to expect from my next post!)

Going back to the look of today, check out these fantastic and colourful H&M party heels from their Party collection, or the Deena & Ozzy suede zip boot, both to accessories the leggings for a different look, your pick casual or party!
And last but surely not least the bag, here is a selection from H&M and Urban Outfitters where Deux Lux offers you a wide variety of their line, a little treat for us girls is these 4 sweet lipbalms that come in a delicious packaging of  Godiva lookalike box:)

Fall Trend: Sequined Leggings

Posted on 27 August 2009 by Angelique

Murmurings about sequined leggings began about a year ago, and the buzz has grown almost deafening with the contribution of Custo Barcelona’s take on the look. Custo Barcelona, the design house from Spain, will use the largest venue in Bryant Park for their Spring 2010 collection because of the major media attention the brand has attracted. Custo, from Barcelona, takes many of his fashion cues from southern California beach culture. Custo Barcelona’s clientele are cosmopolitan, fashion forward men and women from all over the world who love his combination of European style and casual American comfort.

While the economy may be tough for most people these days, Custo Barcelona is growing and branching out. One of the designer’s latest projects was designing both the interior and exterior of MTV Networks Iberia’s three
Vueling planes for summer travel in the Mediterranean.

The excitement over Custo Barcelona’s clothing is largely because of his original take on graphic design: it’s like Emilio Pucci meets Andy Warhol. The brand includes swimwear, suits, tees, and now, the up-and-coming trend of sequined leggings.
