Най-накрая топлото време е тук и нямаме търпение да започнем с пролетно-летните пътувания, пък макар и кратки, само за уикенда. В настроение сме за памук, лен, коприна и цял куп фини материи, които обаче, извадени от куфара, трябва да минат през дъската за гладене, преди да стават за носене. Всеки от нас се е сблъсквал с неудобството и загубата на време да поискаш, а всъщност и да получиш, ютия от хотела. Труден и неприятен процес, който отнема минимум 30-40 мин. А и колко е приятно точно когато си пристигнал, да започнеш да гладиш!!!

Е, за нас цялата тази драма приключи в момента, в който се срещнахме с ръчният уред за гладене с пара Philips Steam&Go! Първото, което ни грабна е неговият изчистен и модерен дизайн, който се вписва перфектно сред принадлежностите на всяко стилно момиче. Но това въобще не е всичко, напротив, това е само началото. Защото все пак по външния вид посрещат. И след това дойде най-приятната изненада – Philips Steam&Go прави едновременно всичко, за което някога сме си мечтали – със силата на парата изглажда перфектно и супер бързо дори най-деликатните материи като коприна и сатен, убивайки всички бактерии (особенно важно, ако пътувате с малкото си дете). А и вече нямаме нужда от дъска за гладене, защото уредът се използва докато дрехата е директно върху закачалката. Бързо, лесно и удобно! Оh, Heaven!

И така, влюбени във Philips Steam&Go поемаме към следващата уикенд дестинация! Ще ви държим в течение на нашата гореща любовна афера.

This is one of my favorite colors, emerald green and isn’t this the perfect holiday dress? Mixing textures is something else I love doing and it is so rich and luxurious when u have a velvet dress u can dress up with something like one of my fav Chanel pieces I own. Tweet, sequin, velvet and leather all in one is a lot of fun. You can wear it with or without belt because the tailoring is outstanding, which is something else I was very impressed with on this collaboration. I hope you guys like it. I am completely in love with Balmain x H&M.

Hey guys,

This next look is featuring my favorite item from the amazing collaboration of Balmain x H&M, the leather jacket…even though after seeing the show in person, it was very very very hard to have a favorite. When I saw the jacket in person and felt the creamy soft luxurious leather I was obsessed. It is so cool and it has already been worn by all the supermodels like Gigi Hadid and Alessandra Ambrosio turning it in the most wanted item from the collection in any way you want to wear it. I decided to make it urban chic with this long flowy skirt I had and since that dark green color is so in I matched my outfit with a dark grey turtle neck to make the look even more in trend. It’s easy, cool, comfy, chic and sexy at the same time. Hope you guys like it.

I am wearing: Jacket: Balmain x H&M – $399 / Skirt: Rag & Bone / Turtle neck: Scoop / Belt: BCBG / Bootie: Christian Louboutin / Bag: Chanel / Sunnies: Ditta

Expo 2015 – Firenze

On April 26th I was invited to attend the opening of the Expo 2015 with main centre Milano but with various Italian cities taking part in it. The beautiful Forte Belvedere in Firenze ( Florence ) is the host of the Human exhibition by Antony Gormley, one of the most acclaimed sculptors working today. The exhibition brings more than 100 works to every part – the inner rooms of the villa, the bastions, the staircases and the terraces of the 16th century fortress, well known with its extraordinary views over the city and the surrounding hills.

At the core of the exhibition there are two arrangements of the work CRITICAL MASS II (1995). This work comprises twelve body forms, each cast five times to produce a total number of sixty works that can exist in any orientation. CRITICAL MASS II identifies a number of basic body postures from the contemplative to the supplicant, from the mourning to the deferential, from the position of a man who awaits an order to the dreamer.

On the east side of lower terrace of the Forte the twelve body forms of CRITICAL MASS II are installed in a linear progression, from foetal to stargazing, recalling the ‘ascent of man’. On the opposite side is a jumbled pile of the same bodies. Here, as abandoned manufactured iron objects, each ten times the specific gravity of a living human body, they reflect the shadow side of any idea of human progress, confronting the viewer with an image redolent of the conflict of the past century.

It’s truly magnificent exhibition and you must see it if you happen to be in Florence between the 26th of April to the 27th of September.

One of my favourite pieces for Spring is the biker jacket. It goes beautifully with pretty much everything, from pair of jeans to light silk or lace dresses. To be honest my search for the perfect biker jacket was endless. In between I got few of them but couldn’t find the one to steal my heart until I saw this one by Gucci. It’s light and doesn’t have tons of useless zips all over it. And the leather is so soft, you just want to cuddle in it.

Another statement piece here is my Daniel Wellington watch that I LOVE so so much! If you still don’t own one of these amazing MUST HAVE watches you can get one with our Promo Code HERE . The promo code is thegaragestarlets and it will give you 15% off! Enjoy!

Red-Hot Flames

Hey guys,

I called this story “Red-Hot Flames” because initially I was inspired by this red hot Gianvitos I got. The shoes as you probably see were inspired by the flames of a fire as Gianvito Rossi himself have told me. Yeah I was lucky enough to work with this talented man and learn a lot about the way he creates his sexy shoes. But let me tell you the most impressive aspect of working with him was the will and positive attitude towards hard working and being involved in all aspects of his shoe company. He loves his work, his shoes, his clients, his life!!! And what’s not to love after all he creates art and as we know creativity is intelligence having fun!!! 😉

Since I have never owned a red pair of shoes I did decide that my first pair should be special and it is indeed, don’t you think? What more special than a shoe simulating flames?!

So obviously they really got me excited and I went in my closet on the search for a cool funky way to tone the sexiness and fire of this shoe down in order to make it street style cool. Et voila what better way than an oversized Givenchy t-shirt and a pair of leather pants, so cool I thought. As I put it all together, I loved it, but you know that feeling when you know something is missing.

I decided I needed something more in this red-hot shade and I thought how about red-hot lips. Then I went into a search of the hottest strong red almost coral like color lipsticks in all the beauty stores in NYC. And I found this gem of a lip tar that is by the company called Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. They are 100 % vegan and cruelty free and have all the different crazy colors and even some metallic! You can also mix different ones and create your own shade, which I thought was so cool and I have seen make up artists do all the time.

With this discovery of mine I felt satisfied that my look was done. I think that I accomplished what I was aiming for… a cool, funky but yet feminine and sexy outfit! What do you guys think? May be a new interpretation of Sex and The City, but instead of my Manolos are my Gianvitos!

Special thanks to the two man I absolutely love working with Gianvito Rossi and his sales director who I adore Serge Biasin!!!

Hello from NYC again

I wanted to look french chic with a warm outfit this winter so what more chic and elegant than a little bow sweater from Sandro in this dark green color. It’s so sophisticated and feminine that can be easily worn from day time to a fabulous night out. Simple makes things effortless and easy! 😉 And to be honest bows always made me feel very romatique so why not a date night??? 😉
