Our Obsession "OPEN BACK"



Like we mentioned before we love open backs..... we alter a lot of time pieces to create an open back, next week when I am back in NY I will show you guys my baby, my dress, a dress in which I "opened" the back. I got so inspired after I watching Sara Jessica Parker in the Sex In The City Movie, wearing a pink dress with open back,  while she is shopping and calling Samantha to tell her she is getting married...lol!!! If you still don't know what I am talking about I will show the "my dress" next week. All the dresses and jumper will be in our STORE in 2day's. Don't miss out on our custom made one of a kind pieces.....

LA goodies



We found this great Japanese piece from the 70's, it's even hand painted. I don't think it needs altering as I think its fantastic as is, and we don't want to loose any of the flower detail,  but you never know with Jazz, Lol. 



I love the fit of this cute CUTE little blue dress, I absolutely don't like the white embroidery trim. I think I would like to see it with some studs.... I love studs, I was so in love with the Gucci collection from fall 2008 the studded boots and bags.It  was and still is so HOT!!! I was hoping that in Rome the sale would make them more affordable... NOT!!  I have this thing, I can not spend more then one months rent on shoes or bags,  so the Gucci shoes are still not in my closet! (: To make a long story short the studs will give the dress a edgier look, the dress looks TOO girly cute now!  We'll keep you posted and in a couple of weeks we can show you the end result.

Grammy’s was kind of sad!!!

Fashion at the Grammy’s was kind of sad, nothing really stood out. We were hard pressed to find hot looks that we could talk about. But after much searching we came with these four.

First up Gwyneth Paltrow in Versace
Jazz:
When Gwyneth came out in this dress I was so loving it. The shiny tights and silver heels gave it a twist. But I have to say at the end of the day I prefer the simple runway version. The skinny belt, sweetheart bust line and bare legs wins it for me.
Sara: I like it. The tights gives it an edgier look. I also love the cardigan it gives this high fashion dress a casual urban look. But maybe I’m biased because I love grey.



Next Jennifer Hudson in Roland Mouret
Jazz: Totally love it. I think Jennifer looks great in it even better than the model but I wish the shoes were different. It’s a bit too safe for me. I prefer the models. Sara: I feel it flatters her body but I also wish she wore different shoes. Shoes that pop like a red, yellow, lime green, something anything but those safe boring ones.


Also Janelle Monae in we have no idea
Jazz: I only recently came across this singer Janelle Monae and I have to say her music is not bad at all, she is worth checking out. But what is definitely worth checking out is her style I love it just like I love this outfit. Its different especially for the Grammy’s with everyone wearing a dress, I especially love the tails jacket, I’ve been looking for a vintage version for the longest but to no avail.
Sara: Like the outfit but wish she wore some killer heels.
make it a little bit more feminine



Finally Kim Kardashian in silver Toni Maticevski
Jazz: I have to say I wasn’t feeling this dress at first but it slowly grew on me. She looks good in it. Sara: For me its cute sassy and not at all a trashy choice, like some people are saying. Love this dress on her love the hair it’s simple, not to much accessories. Work it out Kim!!!


Jazz: So the dress that gets my vote is Jennifer Hudson in Mouret.
Sara: I am going for Kim Kardashian in silver Toni Maticevski


But finally before we end the dresses that caught our attention for all the wrong reasons

First Paris Hilton in vintage Versace
We didn’t like it at al. That’s giving vintage a bad name, but then what do we expect from Paris she’s a hot mess. Never have we seen her in anything worth screaming about.




Then Leona Lewis in Randi Rahm with Lucifer Vir Honestus jewels
Jazz: Hated it!! My country girl is letting me down big time .Her style is too mature for her and this dress in no exception. For someone who said that her and her stylist we’re going to come up with something different for the Grammy’s, we feel they’ve failed. Miserably. Plus the dull dress looks too small for her, isn’t that her boob hanging out on the side? Sara: I love Leona, but I have to agree with Jazz she is like what 23 she looks like she is in her 30 40, and she is beautiful.... she should fire her stylist and all the ppl that tell her she looked good, HER BOOB is hanging out.... you need honest ppl in your camp! I found a picture of her the night before at Clive Davis in a dress that looked much better on, but still kind of boring for her age. I like the pink nail polish...(it's the only thing that kind of makes her look her age) with the back dress. I always wear hot pink or black nail polish, it makes an out fit look so much better specially on black. Sorry Leona could not make more out of it, you should let U&A style you!
