I would like to start by congratulating Ramya from WardrobeMenu blog with winning Opportuno dress International Giveaway, I hope you enjoy wearing this amazing dress as much as I do!

Secondly, I am happy to announce a new very special Boticca International Giveaway. Since I am a big fan of Boticca, I would like to start of by telling you a little bit about them.

Boticca is the online boutique for one-of-a-kind jewelry and fashion accessories by top independent designers. More than an online retailer, it's  a market place. Curated by fashion experts, designers, editors, bloggers and collectors, what makes Boticca so different is the fact that it's founders aim to help up-and-coming independent designers be discovered and gain access to customers around the world who are looking for one-of-a-kind pieces. When you buy a piece on Boticca, you buy directly from the designer, you have an option of interacting with whoever created the piece, to ask them questions or read their amazing stories.

 As a person who has a lot of appreciation for unique and one-of-a-kind pieces and emerging design talent, I am absolutely ecstatic to team up with Boticca to offer $100 Gift Card to one lucky VivaLuxury reader!

THIS GIVEAWAY is open to everyone,

TOUCH OF TANGERINE

(Gap Mason crew tee, Nanette Lepore sweet sixteen skirt, 3.1 Phillip Lim Minute clutch, Zara heels, ASOS claw ring, spike stretch bracelet & skinny cross bangle)

I am so excited to once again take part in Gap's Summer Styld.by campaign. Since I am such a fan of Gap and bright colors, it was absolutely amazing to style pieces from their Summer12 collection. To see the full feature on Gap.com, please CLICK HERE, or click on the images in the post above!


My inspiration for this particular outfit was one of my favorite fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2012, which is colorblocking. My take on wearing this trend is to maximize impact by pairing two solid-color pieces in complementary hues. To complete this look I added a simple black clutch and a pair of heels with a neutral front and a bit of matching tangerine drama in the back.

SHOP MY CLOSET ON THREADFLIP

Hey Everyone,

 I am so excited to be featured on Threadflip homepage, an online retailer which allows you to sell items from your closet. I've been obsessed with Threadflip for some time now, by far, it's the best way to sell items from your closet and see what treasures others have for sale! Right now I have my eye on a pair of metallic Prada wedges! I know, more shoes, but they are Prada and I am only human, after all:)

I add new items to Threadflip pretty regularly, CLICK HERE to see the complete list. If you have any questions about any of the items, please feel free to contact me directly and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

BOTANICAL BRIGHT - WIN OPPORTUNO DRESS

(Opportuno Venecia cashmere & silk-blend dress, Zara blazer & heels, Ann Taylor Large Leather clutch, ASOS claw ring, spike stretch bracelet & skinny cross bangle) 

Somebody asked me recently why I named my blog VivaLuxury, which got me thinking I never really discussed the meaning behind the name of my blog. You see, to me, the word luxury is synonymous with comfort, confidence and overall good feeling. My blog, above all else, celebrates the idea that clothing must be enjoyable to wear and make you feel good. Which brings me to this week's giveaway, when Opportuno contacted me about hosting a giveaway for one of their gorgeous designs, I couldn't help but think that a lightweight cashmere and silk dress represents a quintessential VivaLuxury item. I mean really, does anything feel better than cashmere?:) So, without further adieu, this week you have a chance to win a beautiful Venecia dress made from the finest Italian silk & cashmere. Hope the winner enjoys wearing it as much as I do!

THIS GIVEAWAY is open to everyone,

OLD FRIENDS AND NEW and it will SHIP INTERNATIONALLY

LAVENDER LOVE

(Denimocracy Anarchy knit leggings, pureDKNY crochet sweater - similar here, Tibi Amber high heel sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Circle Quilt bag, ASOS claw ring & spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one)

 

If you visit my blog on regular basis, you know I drool over anything lavender. Something about the color reminds me of Summer, sunshine and freedom. Since my ever-expanding jean-pant collection did not yet include a pair in my favorite color, I was pretty psyched to come across these babies. This particular shade makes me especially weak in the knees:) 

Emil and I shot these pics last Sunday. We had one of those impossibly relaxing, gloriously lazy days, driving down Topanga canyon, car windows rolled all the way down, wind in our hair, sipping on iced lemonade, listening to Led Zeppelin. I think Summer is here:)

P.S. Like my Denimocracy knit leggings? You can win them! Denimocracy is giving away a pair to one lucky winner!

NEON KNIT

(Nanette Lepore Class Flirt knit dress or here, Rebecca Minkoff Buckled clutch, also loving this one & this, Tibi Amber high heel sandals, ASOS claw ring & spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one, OPI nail polish in Lucky, Lucky Lavender)

I actually bought this dress for my anniversary, which is coming up in July. And I have to say that for the first 2 weeks I was able to control the urge to wear it. Eventually it became more and more difficult to resist the temptation of neon pink stripes starring back at me every time I opened my closet. So, when Emil and I got invited to a friend's impromptu party, I suddenly found myself thinking that I have absolutely nothing to wear, except of course my new dress. Have you even noticed how that happens:)? So, I wore it, I am human after all, July is too far away and dresses like that are not meant to hang in closets unworn:)

P.S. I got a few emails asking me about my make up and specifically which products I use on my eyes and cheeks. Right now I am loving YSL Luxurious Mascara which creates the fullest and longest eyelashes ever and YSL Shocking Ink Eyeliner, because it stays on all day long and doesn't smudge. For cheeks I use Bobbi Brown blush in Apricot, because I am such a fan of this peachy pink shade, I also like to add a little bit of Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Necktar over my blush for some added sparkle.
