Sparkly Eyes

I am pretty much sure you all have seen this image from the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign. ...But I am not sure if you got that much addicted to it as I did. (Frankly, it even forced me to get back to my blog, that I haven't done for a while).

The image is courtesy of Michael Kors

What can I say...? Beautiful photo-work by Mario Testino. It explains it all - you want to have it, own it, buy it, wear it, possess it. It gives you a spirit of relaxing vacation in St. Tropez or Monaco. Healthy tan, high-contrast white dress, massive gold accessories and...enigmatic, mesmerizing blue sunglasses! I think, that's exactly the answer why I love this print so much - I was mes-me-ri-zed.

In other words, if I can be more figurative, if these gorgeous sunglasses would be a guy (obviously, a handsome one), I would definitely marry him! Totally! Without a second thought! And so I am trying to do. Yes, I am trying to find a good pair of sunglasses with a reflective optical coating 'to marry' them once and forever (or at least for this summer).

If you want the result - well, I am still on the hunt... but I think that eventually I will get back to my favorite 'Kors-ies'. They were almost the only sunglasses that didn't make me (and not only me) look like a flying insect (yuck!). Seriously, dragonFly, butterFly, whateverFly, but clearly not a TESSfly. Yet, we all must be the one!

*** So, GO or NO GO for the MIRRORED SUNGLASSES this summer? ***

Fur and Feather

Ok, this question has been bothering me for quite some time, hence I decided to seek for your opinion. So, to fur or not to fur? I mean, to wear fur or not to wear.

Whoa-whoa, wait... Before I get attacked (physically or verbally) by all those PETA fans, let me make an official disclaimer. TESS, personally, possesses no fur coats; however, I see plenty of them 'walking' around. And it seems like fur remains in favor with a modern fashion (despite all ethical and moral reasons that we hear 24/7).

We all know who ignited the whole industry for good or bad a couple of decades ago: "Nobody was wearing fur until she put it on the cover in the early 1990s", says Tom Florio (former publisher of Vogue magazine).

Clearly, he means Anna Wintour. Who else, at the end, has this ultimate influence on the fashion business? But well, let's not put all the pressure on her shoulders. Let's revisit instead some of the Pre-Fall 2013 catwalks and see a visual proof of the enormous popularity of natural fur among fresh and established designers:
