Canvas Sneakers Comparison: Converse Vs Cheap Canvas Sneakers
September 25th, 2015 by kpriss
My Converse love-hate story goes way back. Years have gone by and as refined my (fashion) taste, I started to appreciate rare, special items. It was 2008, I think, when I bought my first special edition Converse sneakers!
A gorgeous shade of pink, more eyelets than the usual All-Star model, a handful of $ (what, special editions tend to cost more), I was the proud owner and wearer of a beautiful pair of Converse All Star Double details Ox Raspberry/White: double midsole stripes, double eyelets, double the enchantment! Two weeks later they started to fall apart. And so did my love for Converse.
Minimalist Wardrobe: Pulpa Design
September 22nd, 2015 by kpriss
Going further and deeper into the world of meaningful clothing (and more), I stopped and went through every design signed by 32-year old Poland native Marta Maruszczyk for her label, Pulpa.
Far from the confines of rigid sartorial looks yet surprisingly structured and elaborate, the comfortable clothes made by Marta in her small atelier are as dreamy as they come to me. Loose silhouettes, soft fabrics, neutral colors, these are right on my style alley – take a look and let me know how you feel about Pulpa!

September 21st, 2015 by kpriss
If you’ve seen it once, you can pretend it didn’t happen. If you’ve seen it twice, you start to notice it, but the bob hairdo was all over the Red Carpet at tonight’s 2015 Emmy Awards Ceremony!
From Lady Gaga to Jessica Lange, so many wonderful ladies had their bob haircut on full display for the glamorous event! Claire Danes, Kerry Washington, Amy Landecker even went as far as to style a faux shorter bob haircut to gain more edge than the other red carpet bob haircuts! Side swept, asymmetrical bangs, curly or slick pulled back, the bob haircut is the haircut to wear as seen at the 2015 Emmys!

Top Tennis Players And Their Watches
September 3rd, 2015 by kpriss
As the year’s last Grand Slam tournament opened its hard courts this weel, we’re all rooting for our favorite raquet maestros competing for the trophy. Will Rafael Nadal win this round of the 2015 US Open after missing last year because of his wrist injury? Maybe ATP’s no 1, Novak Djokovic recovered his fantastic shape as he struggled during the preparatory tournaments this year?
Will Roger Federer prove his legendary tennis art as he seems to be unstoppable on hard court lately? Or perhaps Andy Murray is going to win his second US Open trophy this year? Stanislas Wawrinka already has a Grand Slam win this year (Roland Garros, keeping Novak Djokovik yet again from adding La Coupe des Mousquetaires to his trophy wall) but he is a winner here at the US Open, why not a second win? Or perhaps Marin Cilic will defend his 2014 US Open title this year?

DIY Flowers Headpieces For Summer Wedding & Party
August 31st, 2015 by kpriss
I said something about helping a friend with a wedding a while back – remember the lace headpiece? I also told you that besides the bride’s veil, I handcrafted a special headpiece for the Godmother. She had this beautiful summery silk maxi dress in bright green and bright red blended together in a marbled fashion and I was supposed to accessorize that!
Since the dress was quite simple, only counting on the vivid colors play, I had to amp up the headpiece. And since my friend has a special weakness for some poppies I did for her a while back (these poppies here, only in blood red), I went for a poppies extravaganza headpiece with veil! Perfect for summer occasions: weddings, engagement parties, cocktails or fancy going-outs!

The New Must-Try Bralette: McQueen’s Leather Lace Harness Bralette
August 29th, 2015 by kpriss
Fall is coming. Are you ready? I’m not. I’d like to hold on to summer. To hold on to summer clothes, to summer food, to summer vacations, to summer glow and summer hair.
I actually have a trick to help me get over the summer bathing suit blues – I focus on the lingerie drawer for the colder months. As the latest in lingerie is the ‘plain sight’ trick, we’ve seen so many undies embracing the aesthetic transformation of the once simple support function of intimate wear! Wearing your lingerie as an actual garment is a thing, people!
