Bodies @ Work: The Art of Ruben and Isabel Toledo
All my excitement and expectations over this exhibit were a spot on match: Rich, wonderful and all the good things in between!!
Granted yes, I'm a bit bias, as I have admired their work for a long time...
It all started with Ruben's fascinating and so very unique illustrations for Nordstrom. They were published in Vogue around the late 90s/early 2000s.
Back then I had the pleasure to meet him while representing Nordstrom during a private dinner party in Columbus, OH. The night was a delight... Cuba - Colors - Fashion - Texture - Design - Drawing - Style and so much more interesting conversations..
They did a terrific job putting this together! Great work! If you are in town, make sure to go see it. Happening now thru 6.18.2017
Be Bold. Be fearless. Be gorgeous. Be talented. Be Kind.
See you next time!

Naga Jewelry Ethnic Tribal Vintage
The Naga people of Northeast India and Northwest Burma are a conglomeration of different tribes, united under the “Naga”. The jewelry and beadwork for which they are known have been considered by some scholars to be the “most beautiful, elaborate ornamentations of any tribal culture”, I have to agree with that statement!
Another fascinating element about the Naga Jewelry is the fact that their ornamentations are not mere decoration – they’re a part of the wearer’s identity and that of the tribe to which the wearer belongs.
A rich and bold necklace inspired this post. It is definitely one of my top faves of all times. You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/talkingfashionnet/tools/listings/query:naga/184052638
Are you familiar with Naga Jewelry? What do you think of its style? We would love to hear from you and, in case you are already a Naga collector, we would love to see what you got!! Cant ever get tired of looking beautiful pieces of jewelry, specially ethnic ones from the Naga Tribe....Oh my.....
Be Fearless. Be Bold. Be Brave. Wear what you love everyday.
See you next time.

Want it? Get it!
Some of you already know that I have been selling on different marketplaces for over a decade. One of these online markets, has this great "treasury" feature which promote their merchants. I always loved the concept, mainly because it pushes for so much creativity. I love to see the different angles of how people put things together.
Our shop has been featured in multiple treasuries hundreds of times throughout the past 6 years there, and it has always been fun to watch.
Just recently, I got a notice that was not related to a treasury posting but instead, a polyvore collection feature curated by "La Baronne Vintage". Here is the collection: http://www.polyvore.com/early_autumn_70s_look/set?id=208580883
Polyvore? How on Earth I wasn't hip to this yet? OMG what a blast it is to use their site. Great tool for styling and creating visual impact. Thanks to Nathalie, I got introduced and I am in love! Anyhow...
Find your style each day! Play around, create, have fun with fashion! Here is the link to a collection I am just starting to work on there: http://www.polyvore.com/out_door_with_some_golden/collection?id=5933272

Gucci Show Fall'16 Where to begin? talkingfashion
Yesterday I was reading Vogue's review on the show, and I could not agree more with their comments. OMG where to start? It was incredible and crazy good all over!!
Despite the fact that I only have a couple of Gucci pieces in my closet...I would happily wear most of the pieces from this collection; most of all the stunning dresses and all of the amazing accessories! I loved all the colors (monochromatic looks or eclectic mix ones), the design, the silhouette, the fabrics...oh you name it, I am in love...
Since a very early age I always loved playing with many accessories. I am constantly encouraging everyone out there (who wants to play with fashion), to find their inspiration and allow themselves to experiment with fashion. Wear playful looks anytime you feel playful!
Anyhow, here is a link to many gorgeous accessories to help anyone who wants to have fun and be beautiful: https://talkingfashion.myshopify.com/collections/accessories-lover
Would love to see more and more women loving what they wear daily all around, anytime and everywhere! Share pics and use hashtag #talkingfashion #talkingfashionnet
Need help styling? I will be happy to share my opinion with you, give me a shout :)
