What are you wearing for Valentine's?

I just love Valentine's day! I know, I know if you are not dating someone then it's not so fun, but in my family we celebrate regardless, either we have a bbq with friends and family or have a girls movie night. If someone is dating then you may leave after hanging out because Valentine's it is not only for bf/gf love but also for friends and family to celebrate their love for each other. This is officially one of my "Red and pink all over" posts! That's right, I am a big fan of the season so I will be posting several posts about the topic... We are starting with "What are you wearing for Valentines?" Here I give you some ideas to choose from, of course, red and pink all over ;)

"Hunger Games" vol.2 I have done it again, read it in 1 1/2 days.

Well, the update is: I'm still highly addicted to the book! All I keep thinking is "Thank God I have all of the books, because to wait for the next to come out would have been horrible!" I mean, the author leaves you hanging at the end of each book, so it must have been very hard for those reading them as they came out. Once you've began reading the second book, that original notion of how disturbing the plot is, no longer bothers you. Now you know the characters and you are attached to them. Which reminds me of how the "capitol people" react to the "winners" of the games. Still, the notion of how disturbing it is, is always in the back of my mind.

I was doing a little research on the book to find out of others readers who have felt the same way that I did and that's when I found out the book was meant for young adults. I was disturbed by that idea, because it is SO aggressive. Told my latinasian (bf), and he said that "most kids these days watch that and even worse things. TV, games, movies, it's all very violent." Couldn't argue with that fact. I can't help but notice how the romance reminds me of the triangle between the characters of "the twilight" books. However, in "the twilight" books it is very clear who the heroine loves, here it is a bit debatable.
Anyway, I read a review in The New Yorker and what they wrote really got me thinking, here it is: "Depending on the anxieties and preoccupations of its time, a dystopian Y.A. novel might speculate about the aftermath of nuclear war (Robert C. O’Brien’s “Z for Zachariah”)... or the consequences of resource exhaustion (Saci Lloyd’s “The Carbon Diaries 2015”).... most American schoolchildren are at some point also assigned to read one of the twentieth century’s dystopian classics for adults, such as “Brave New World” or “1984.” This is so true! And that got me into a whole other thing by it self. You see, I discussed this information with my latinasian, of course! and told him as well, how they keep doing references to roman times. Where there was emperor and their riches and ALL of their slaves, etc. He says to me "it is not very different from now. I feel like the US is the Capitol and all of the countries that they take from are the 'districts.' If one revels, they attack." This may sound extremely dark and perhaps not what the writer intended, however some of the ideas ring true.


But that Suzanne Collins has my heart in her hands as I cannot stop my self from reading page after page. I keep telling my self "one more chapter and I will go to bed" but it doesn't work, I read until my eyes won't let me anymore. So, I am begging you, read them! Maybe I am taking the whole idea of the book too deeply, but I can't help my self as I like analyzing and my mind always goes and wonders. However, I am not planning on starting a revolution or anything like it ;) But I have to write it, because it is fun to scratch your head and think outside the box. So go ahead, read it and see for yourself. Tell me, what do you think of the book?

This is my last piece of a whole week full of vintage Chanel and it had to be perfect! For me this piece says it all that its brand expresses: classic, chic, fashion, beauty, do I have to go on? Chanel loved using red as a pop of color, so it only made sense to use this piece as the last one.

We love you Madame Chanel!

Vintage Chanel Gold Matelasse Chain Lizard Frame Bag

Don't be afraid of this one, even though it is the most elegant of all it will still look so cool with just jeans. That's the thing about Chanel, any of her styles can be worn day or night. This little purse is just so chic!

Vintage Chanel Navy Blue Lambskin Large Camera Bag

I really like the color of this little one, even though it says navy blue to me it looks more like gray-blue. Regardless I would love it on with either color.

I did not find at this moment a classic red Chanel purse, that is the only thing missing from this post... until next time! On thursday I will be posting vintage Chanel bracelets cuffs!

A Chanel Obsession: Vintage CHANEL Earrings

As a fashion obssesive chick I learned early on that Chanel is the queen of the liberation of women's fashion, becoming the real expression of good taste, class and beauty. It is, indeed, my favorite elite brand. Wearing Chanel says it all, from classic to fashion forward, no matter what year the piece is from. The older the piece is, the better it becomes; more unique, more unattainable: vintage, the key word on my next posts. Vintage Chanel is amazing because here you have pieces of fashion history in your personal decor. We become walking art history of Chanel, and since Chanel is the queen of all, then by wearing her, we are expressions of who she was, is and always will be. Chanel never goes out of style.

This week is all about Vintage Chanel Accessories. This is one of my favorite vintage elite brands website www.malleries.com, just click on the image to send you directly to the website. I am going to start with earrings, because that is my favorite accessory to make an outfit chic... Enjoy!

Chanel loves a little pair of studs, only that they are usually not little, making them a stand out piece on an outfit. I love the red with gold and the design.

~Viva La FRANCE~ (day 5)

Are you ready for my last France trip post? Because this one is my last one, lets make it count!

~Viva La FRANCE~ (day 4)

The traveling days! We went to visit some of the castles from La Loire and around the area. It was such a blast! The problem was that we were surprised by rain while being there! But that didn't stop us from visiting and enjoying our trip. 

This outfit had to be the most comfortable of all. Driving, walking around and with the rain, it had to be practical but nevertheless cute!

~Viva La FRANCE~ (day 3)

Went to have dinner to one of the most popular restaurants in Paris, Georges at The Pompidou Musem. The view was amazing! The food delicious! and the decor so cool! 

What I love about this outfit is the mix of black with the beige colors and the jacket looks so Chanel!

On the escalator to get to the rooftop of the museum where the restaurant is.

Carpaccio of Artichoke, so amazing!!!

Im on top of the World, or should I say, PARIS!

Oh how much I love you so, my dear Paris.

Day 4 is on its way!

~Viva La France~ (day 2)

Hello, here is day 2! When I travel I like to feel comfortable but also look cute, especially if I'm doing so with my man! Besides I was in Paris, so I got inspired, of course. Sometimes you don't have time to get back to the room and change so you have to get creative... check it out!

This outfit is cool to me because of use of block color that I did with the belt. The belt made the outfit, what was a cute dress it became a fashion forward cool dress. That's what I call an instant fashion moment accessory.

Les Macaroons! Oh La La Mon Dieu!
