I was wearing a black Theysken's Theory dress with velvet coat and handbag also from Theory. Headphones are from Adidas. All jewels and watch are from Uno de 50.

If you follow me on Twitter you are probably updated about my travels... so you should already know that last thursday I was in Barcelona (awwww I loveee that city!!!) for a very special event! Uno de 50, the spanish ready-to-wear jewellery label was celebrating their 15th birthday! And I was invited to attend and spin some records amongst Simone in company of the best people in town. There was the beautiful Eva Gonzalez, my friend Neko, who runs the well known(and one of my favourite parties ever, Nasty Mondays), Ross, Ilduara, Oscar(from my agency), Joan, Quentin, Gabriela and Pablo(cutest couple ever) who came straight back from Boston to give their support!!! Gerard, who was taking all this wonderful pictures, and the whole team from Uno de 50. We enjoyed some yummy canapes and danced till midnight... after that we all headed to CupCake's(the little sister party of Nasty Mondays, which takes also place at Apolo).

My birthday present came early this year from Wesley Mason thanks to the beautiful weather LA had last weekend. I'm still convinced that it's his plan to stop me from getting a real bike (a Harley to be specific.)

P.S. I'm thinking about customizing the handlebar and pedals into gold... color wise. The bike guy said it can be done.. only concern is would somebody steal the handlebar??

Designed by Mark Cunningham, Hana Soukupova's abode that she shares with her husband is one of the sexiest yet luxurious homes I've ever seen. It's definitely on the more masculine side with the exception of the bathroom, but I love all the sleek furniture, colorful pop art and overflowing books.

I'm so happy to add this pretty black and rose gold Swarovski watch to my slowly, but surely growing gold collection. The shape of the watch is sporty yet the way the watch is cut and the way rose gold trims accessorize the watch make it more... me.

I've picked out some of my favorites from Swarovski's newest watch collection, and if you haven't heard already, there is a fun contest going on Polyvore, where you have a chance to win a Swarovski watch of your choice. All you have to do is create a set with it.

Joan Crawford : The Wicked Queen ?

2011-11-18T11:08:00.000-08:00

The Wicked Queen is one of Disney's most iconic and menacing villains.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American film based on the eponymous German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. It was the first full length animated feature to be produced by Walt Disney, and the first American animated feature film in movie history.Determined to remain the fairest of all, the Queen becomes insanely jealous of Snow White, the only one whose beauty surpasses her own. She eventually uses her skills in dark magic to transform herself into the Witch.The Queen is the stepmother of Snow White and the main antagonist of the film. Once her magic mirror tells her that Snow White is fairer than she is, she immediately enlists Humbert the huntsman to kill her in the woods. After she discovers that Snow White did not die, she disguises herself as an old hag and

uses a poisoned apple in order to kill Snow White.

Disney suggested that the Queen should be a mix of Lady Macbeth and the Big Bad Wolf, but her face finally took the features of the American actress Joan Crawford (1908-1977), her appearance was inspired by the Helen Gahagan character in the film "She" (1935) and her general silhouette seems to be derived from the column statue at the entrance to Naumberg Cathedral in Germany. Actress Lucille LaVerne was chosen to voice both the Wicked Queen and the hag Witch because of her versatile voice intonations.The transformation of the Queen into a Witch is taken from various cinematographic versions of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. And the Witch herself perpetuates the iconographic tradition develo

ped during the 19th century.

Walt Disney recruited some of the best European illustrators who had immigrated to America:
the Swiss Albert Hurter (1883-1942),
the Swedish artist Gustaf Tenggren (1886-1970)
his Danish counterpart Kay Nielsen (1886-1957).
and the Hungarian Ferdinand_Hovarth (1881-1973)

Trained in the art academies of their home countries,these pioneers instilled their culture in the studios’ early films,
particularly Snow White (1937), Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940).
The Queen was animated by Art Babbit and the Witch by Norman Ferguson.

Joan Crawford (1904-1977)

Outrageous costumes (note the strong parallel here between Gahagan’s outfit

and that of the queen in Disney’s animated Snow White, released just two years later)

Margrave Ekkehard of Meissen and his wife Uta

Naumburg Cathedral (1249-1255)

You can admire Joan Crawford for her ambition and her professionalism as an actress but did you knew that Joan Crawford was named by her children (Christina and Christopher)

the "witch", the evil “mommie dearest.” ?

When, i see Show White i can't help thinking about Joan Crawford and all the despotic mother in this world.

Now, It can been told that Joan herself was a villain, a MGM marketing made-up actress and character from her name to her look ( she cared about more than anything about her public image) and a despotic mother that indulged severe mental and physical abuse on her children.Her life was a running commercial directed by Hollywood- The "official" story, according to the MGM Publicity Department as Directed by Louis B. Mayer.

When Christina Crawford’s tell-all book came out a year after her adoptive mother’s death, Old Hollywood divided into two camps: those who said they had witnessed Crawford’s unstable behavior with her children and those were convinced that the book’s shocking claims were untrue.

The book and Movie "Momie Dearest" help to spotlight the subject of abusive mothers and Borderline Mothers.But it's still seem that in 2009,we as individuals and a society are still uncomfortable with those kinds of issues.

1. My new bookshelf that I spray painted gold with Wesley Mason's help. I bought the bamboo wine rack at the Rose Bowl flea market and use it to hang my sunglasses.

2. My dog Malti. I've had him and his twin brother Pooma since I was 17. Ever since I moved back to LA, Wesley Mason and I re-adopted him and now he's Charcoal's big brother.

ICONE : BRIGITTE HELM

2011-11-17T22:26:00.000-08:00

German actress Brigitte Helm (1906-1996) is a legend

because of her dual role as the noble Maria and as her evil double,

the robot Maria, in the silent science-fiction classic Metropolis (1927, Fritz Lang).

After Metropolis she made a string of over 30 films in which

she almost always had the starring role.

Helm easily made the transition to sound films, before she abruptly retired in 1935.

Now and then I love sharing bits of my private life. This time I'm showing you my essentials in cosmetics and jewelry, those products and pieces I use everyday that get me through the day, like my new obsession for SUPERGA sneakers, seems I cannot wear anything else right now(they are soooo comfy), even if I could I'd still take them to a smart event and swap my heels for them anytime!!! For this reason, expect to see me wearing them loads, and wait to check my new additions to my newly started- Superga collection :) My watch has been mentioned several times here on my blog, and after the Zara feature I thought it was time to say that is a Michael Kors women's Chronograph tortoise watch. When I went to New York last time had time enough to play around with the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc and I must say that, the little phone its pretty entertaining!! I love collecting vintage and weird jewelry pieces, that's why once i find something i love i don't take it out, like my Monica Vinader's Fiji bracelet and gold roman inspired bracelet too, when it comes to my fav rings, the one with the gorgeous big stone has to be one of my ultimate favs! it was an special order courtesy of uber-talented australian label,and already named here on my blog, Billy Bride . The other little one is from a galician born designer,the Sansoeurs label.

If Alice Had a Party with Steve Madden

(BCBG Dress, Steve Madden Viktoree Heels)

I've teamed up with Steve Madden for their newest campaign "Steve Brings It!" and I had an opportunity to create a themed outfit which was Alice and Wonderland. Of course, I had to incorporate a modern day white rabbit, which in this case is Malti dressed as a black rabit, and Charcoal as King of Hearts.

The shoes I chose to wore are called the Viktoree and I love the shape of these heels. It's quite different from your ordinary mary janes but nonetheless, sweet and whimsical, which I think is perfect for the Alice and Wonderland theme! Stay tuned for more looks with this theme!

P.S. Steve Madden is offering all of Song of Style visitors a 15% off their entire purchase plus free shipping. Clearance is excluded and the code is not stackable with other codes. This code will remain valid until 12/31/11 @ 11:59pm EST. Use Code: SongofStyle15

Enjoying the last bit of warm weather... two weeks ago? Not sure. Big whoops! Been feeling under the weather but I've taken a few outfits recently so I'm set for the week. Speaking of this week, if anyone is in the area I will be attending the BAREing it all panel at my alma mater UC Berkeley so come join (har har hence the punny title)! I turned down the opportunity to speak (seriously, who would want to listen to me?) but look forward to hearing what everyone else has to say.

Also, a big thanks to Equipment for the Style Spotlight feature!

Gala for Zara by Tommy Ton

2011-11-15T13:48:00.000-08:00

If you click on Zara's website, you'll discover that these are the same backgroung images as the ones posted here. That's because last september I went back to my dear Chelsea to shoot some snaps of Zara's latest collection with my mate fellow Michelle (GoldieLondon). One of the surprises during that day, was that Tommy Ton (JakandJil) All the pictures were taken for Zara's "People" section which encourages costumers to send snaps of themselves wearing Zara clothing and creating their own outfits, the best looks will get featured on the site, cool right? So if you wanna give it a try can do it now by clicking here. To Read full article(and other interesting ones) and see the rest of the pictures please click now and check this original post on the section I write every month for ABSOLUTE MODE SOCIETY.

On Friday I had to stop in at Teen Vogue to deliver some work that I recently did while in Europe. After spending some time with Andrew Bevan reviewing some photos, we took a walk through Teen Vogue's offices and I thought you might find it interesting to see what things look like inside the 9th floor at 4 Times Square. The walk involved a quick stop over inside Jane Keltner de Valle's office, a surprise visit to Mary Kate Steinmiller, and naturally, a walk through the closet. Back to regularly scheduled Models Off Duty shots tomorrow.

ICONE : ANNY ONDRA (1902-1987)

2011-11-11T08:14:00.000-08:00

Brought up in Prague, Anny Ondra (born Ondrakova)

became a popular star of Czech, Austrian and German comedies in the 1920s.

In her British films, she proved an impressive dramatic actress, most notably in Hitchcock's The Manxman and Blackmail (both 1929).

Her strong Czech accent precluded a continuation of her international career after the conversion to sound. Ondra settled in Germany in 1930, and, after marrying boxer Max Schmeling, she largely retired from the industry in the mid-1930s.

She first married director Carl Lamac.

Deuxième visite intimiste à Versailles, accompagnés de Nicolas Jacquet, à la découverte des petits appartements du Roi... Je vous conseille de feuilleter ou même d'acquérir son livre "Versailles secret et insolite", la château regorge de mystères et de lieux qui ne demandent qu'à être découverts. Furetez sur le site de Versailles, vous pouvez trouver des visites guidées dans des lieux habituellement ignorés du grand public, mais pourtant accessibles ! Un grand merci à Diane Drubay et l'équipe de Buzzeum !

Je reste brève, demain je me lève tôt, direction la Bretagne. Gros baisers, profitez bien de votre grand week end !

Home Studio, High vs. Low

2011-11-10T00:09:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite part of my job as an interior designer is when I score a great item for less, especially at antique marts, flea markets or even at discount stores. I recently scored an amazing faux fur throw for my little home office which is sloooowing coming along together (pictures to come very soon)

I love the rustic charm of the home studio pictured above but can you guess which one cost $14,651 and which one cost $4,801?

It's been awhile since I've worn rings other than the one that I always wear (mainly because it won't come off. Trust me, I've tried everything) simply because I was quite over the multiple rings thing and wanted to go the simpler route. However, I couldn't pass on these simple yet adorable XO rings from JewelMint.

If you've been visiting my blog for awhile, you know I hardly ever wear plain Ts. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I wore a plain T but that's about to change thanks to StyleMint. The cut, the color and the soft fabric of this T is so spot on that I'll start be wearing Ts like this more often.
