Heaven Tanudiredja

I discovered the Bali-born, Antwerp based jewellery designer, Heaven Tanudiredja, last year when he showed his Fall 2012 collection, soft classic details and hard avantgarde futuristic shapes. Though I must confess I didn't pay too much attention to it, until now. After his exhibition in Paris in February, Business of Fashion, Milk Made and Dazed and Confused have created spotlights on his latest collection, an amazing translation of mental disorders such as Pyromania, Trichotillomania, Delusional and Anorexia Nervosa into jewels, quite a dense subject to handle, but what he wanted to show was the beauty that lies beneath this chaos, oh my and how he did it! Embellished crystals with gold, brass, leather, pearls and other materials, are key ingredients in Tanudiredja's aesthetic, which is what has made me fall in love with the collection. The clutches and hard bibs are an absolute must.

Cause girls can wear JUAN too

wearing: Max Mara vintage cape, Top Shop beanie, skirt and stockings, Juan printed tee, Jil Sander heels and ethnic jewelry.

The colombian menswear brand,  JUAN, selected some 'trend setters' to send over this t-shirt and mix it with their own personal style.  I was their first special guest with three outfits incorporating the JUAN tee, I actually been wearing it quite a lot since  the cotton is amazingly soft and the fit is just perfect to combine with my outfits. 

Here is the translation of the little interview they published about me, for the images and complete post

Throw Back Thursday

5 months ago I stopped in Europe after my 2 month trip in Pakistan, saw old friends and family in London, Paris, Madrid and Milan. Here are some memorable meals, places and people, can't wait to go back

Current obsession: iPhone dresses

A while ago I discovered Society6, a website were artists display and sell their work on different means: printed on t-shirts, pillow cases, hoodies, cards or as simple prints. They also do iPhone covers, my obsession since I got my iPhone, something I have enjoyed dressing up and down. These are my top 12, still having a hard time in picking one or two to purchase.

Little Ramona's Bombshell

 Last week I was Little Ramona's Bombshell of the week! It all happened one Saturday afternoon I went over to visit the Ramonas, we ended up having a fitting party trying all the items on the racks on along with Gustavo from Juan. I know if I'd had more cash on me I would have taken them all home. My gold and shiny American Apparel pants paired perfect with all the vintage tops, but were quickly exchanged with an amazing apple print pant that eventually followed me home.

Stay tuned for more LR bombshells and their adventures in the Ramona closet.

Monday's in Red

I have abandoned this blog for the past month because I have been busy with the costume production

 of an 80s musical called MENTIRAS, I haven't had time to even look at my self in the mirror. So, please forgive me, will post some pictures up of the musical, as well as other happenings. 

This pic happened this morning, my first day free, I finally decided to get dressed up and get on my heels again. Wearing shades of black and red, from head to toe, my favorite colors.

Four words: I WANT THEM ALL

Shop it HERE soon

Pimped up forehead

This is a little something I got during my trip in Turkey, it is a kind of necklace or bling for the forehead, a head piece made out of glass beads and engraved tin. I bought it in a little antique shop with and Iranian owner who told me that this piece was actually from Afghanistan. I've been wearing it with simple outfits since it is such a statement piece.

Layer over layer

wearing: Jil Sander cropped top over Top Shop tank over Zara long sleeve tee and DKNY skirt. 

When one thinks of layering clothes one thinks of jackets over sweaters and topped off with a huge heavy scarf or hat, like seen at Tommy Ton's streetsyle pics for FW13-14 mens shows. Well, since it's not that cold here in Bogota, I've been lately adventuring with the layering of thin layers, tee over tee, with my current obsession: this little knitted cropped top I got at Jil Sander during my last trip to Milan. It compliments every outfit, with shirts, over sweaters and dresses or just by it self.
