Red allure


En: Red is a very emotionally intense color, it enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. OK don't freak out, I know this is not really me, but experiments are always welcome. The vamp woman image does not represent me, not even the red color. I guess I could count on my fingers the times I dressed in red my whole life. But honestly I was surprised to see it actually worked out fine, when my friend Lalo called me for a photo shooting. It's his first one, as recently he followed his passion and took some photography classes. Maybe I am being subjective but I think the results are great for a beginner. The setting is actually the basement of a building in downtown Dallas, you may think it's a bit creepy but it seemed to work out perfect with my vintage jumpsuit that I was telling you about the other day here. What is your opinion :)?

Exquisite it's the word of the day!


En: This time I'll go by the definition to make sure I got it right: 'vintage clothing is generic term for new or second hand garments origination from a previous era'. The other day while walking in Uptown I found a beautiful second hand vintage boutique that inspired retro and chic until its last molecule. From Escada, Lanvin, Moschino Couture, Emanuel Ungaro, Dolce & Gabanna to Valentino the shop kept me excited until the last moment I was there. Exquisite pieces that I didn't experience before, they were all screaming art, beauty and history. I usually don't go by the brand but in this case when you get to have dream pieces at affordable prices it's inevitable. For Dallas fashionistas the store is called Archive Vintage and you can find it in Uptown on Mapple avenue, check their website, the salesman told me that they always keep it up-dated and you can shop online.
Well what about if I stop talking and you start getting more impressions from the images below. Check the  gorgeous red jumpsuit I got and the adorable flower print dress. Very soon new posts wit each of them, I promise I won't keep them anonymous. Enjoy!
