The very Inspiring Designer Reem Acra


 

I came across the talnted Reem Acra not too long ago and liked her designs. I started loving her creations when I saw the above speech/story she shared with Ted. She seems very positive and intelligent to me. I love seeing someone's work and thinking to myself how their personality is and what were they thinking about, while creating their collection. I love her real and Go-Getter attitude, it's very frash and inspiring to hear - for a new designer like me, from an experienced, well known designer - like her.

Love's home





















This is Courtney Love's home. It's really not what I would expect. I may be stock in the 90's but I really expected it to be more Rock n roll, more colorful, more popart- I guess, just more modern!

Styling for the Ajuko girls!

 
I was a costume designer on the set of this video for Ajuko girl's hit "Tokyo Drift". It was a while ago and was really fun. I started POPAVINA about a year or so later but you can see the love for pink, whimsical and colorful clothing was always there!

How true.

Bill Cunningham New York

 
Saw this movie yesterday and loved it! how pure and intelligent Bill cunningham is, there's so much to learn from him and I dont mean fashion wise. His all attitude to life- like he has no age, he dosnt let that interfere with doing what he loves most.

sharing is caring-http://stylelikeu.com/

I recently came across this cool website and I love it! these 2 girls interview interesting people (some famous in the fashion industry, some not) about their personal style. What made this site more appealing for me was the fact that they ask a lot of questions about the personal life and backround and then the interviewers share little stories and facts about their family and such. It's always cool to hear how people grow up and how it shaped them to what they are today. It also makes me feels there's so much out there that I still dont know. Check it out:

Color bug

What a great idea. this product solves a big issue...and you can experiment with different colors without damaging your hair. My hair is super black (I dye it) and apparently it will still work and no bleach is needed. The pink is my fev.

Oh Nancy



 
I love Nancy Sinatra's hair, smile, style, women empowering lyrics..what else? no wonder she's a gay icon. How come there's no movie about her? maybe there is and I don't know?...I'm embarrassed to say that I only found out about her when one of her songs was in Kill Bill. I loveeeeeee this song:
