Winter Necessities-OVER THE KNEE BOOTS

Okay, I admit it, I'm a bit obsessed with both boots and just any kind of footwear (if you haven't already noticed). BUT, this winter has just been sort of kind of heaven to me and torture at the same time, specially since most boots are OVER THE KNEE and suede!

It's almost as if I've been dreaming of them for the longest time but have never really seen one at a store or website.

And now, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! Prada, YSL, Donna Karan, Stuart Weitzman, Christian Louboutin, LD Tuttle... and the list goes on and on and on.

ALL of them, my favorite shoe designers, doing my favorite most perfect dream boots. If only they just gave us young girls a break and BIG discount simultaneously! That would probably then be considered heaven on earth, at least for me that is.

Drool with me over two of my favorite designs this season... That's the least we (or maybe just me?!) can really do about it at the moment.

PERFECT WINTER BOOTS!

"These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do! One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you."

Stuart Weitzman has literally designed the most perfect boots for winter that I have ever witnessed. Although the trend nowadays is the O so popular "Over The Knee" look, I believe these will do just fine, and will be easier to wear with just ANYTHING.

Even though they are not quite O.T.K., the price is right (for leather designer boots that is), and the comfort is right ON! Trust me, I speak from experience. They may seem WAY too high heeled, but, they are actually not so bad at all since there is a hidden platform besides the actual heel.

If you are by any chance looking for the most gorgeous-go with anything-under $600 boots, well my friend, look NO further.

-A singularly commanding statement, these pull-on suede (sort of) over-the-knee boots feature ankle seam detail and a square toe. 1.5" covered and hidden platform and 5" covered heel. 17" shaft and 14.5" circumference. Rubber sole.

OSKLEN-Oskar Metsavaht

Oskar Metsavaht is both theoretically a film director and realistically a renown talented Brazilian designer. He explains in his website:

"My creative process begins with a scene, a history, a style, a concept that I create from something that I wished or lived. From this point, I create the environment, the atmosphere, the looks and the attitudes. In most cases, I have the concept of the campaign before the collection."

"The pieces are drawn to be the figurine of my film. And it is impossible to "watch" in each detail of my collection. I am only satisfied when proposed elements for each piece, the colors, the textures and the silhouettes start being used by the characters of the film I made."

What more can explain his fabulously cinematic, futuristic, empowered clothing? Well, maybe only a taste of his creations-

Ronaldo Fraga-São Paulo Fashion Week

This time he really stood out! And I don't just mean Ronaldo's Winter 2009 designs, I mean his models! Not only were they confident and absolutely gorgeous, but they included only older, much older, men and women and children of all ages.

No 5 foot 9, twenty year old, perfect body beauties allowed! here are the real people, the one's we were all like once, and will be like in the future, no matter how hard we try to stay young.

Why be so scared of old age, when it is so inevitable and beautiful? This fashion show certainly raised that question for me. And as for the little one's, when I have my own they will most definitely only wear designs such as these: creative, young, colorful, and O so stylish!

I WANT!: Dornbracht RainSky E

Okay, so this beautiful piece of work that you see in the images below costs approximately $9,000! I KNOW! WOW!

BUT, I would spend that cash in a second if I could (you will understand once you read about it and see the images), unfortunately it just happens to be in violation of some crazy US and Canada law. And I also don't happen to have that amount of money just lying around my apartment!

Anyways, here is a description of this unbelievable product straight from Dornbracht's website:

"Showering with RAIN SKY E is showering with all the senses. For the first time, water, mist, light and fragrance complement each other in scenarios which relate to the moods in nature. Everything happens simply, just enjoy it and don’t think of anything. That’s all taken care of by the electronic control panel, which automatically evokes the rain curtain, head and body spray, mist projectors, coloured lights and fragrances according to the chosen sequence. Anyone standing behind the bright rain curtain during the scenarios will soon feel the effect – a unique feeling of well-being."

Here are the images of what just one shower can do:

Brazilian Label Mara Mac Winter 2009

Well, to begin with I have just arrived from "Patio Savassi," a popular mall in Belo Horizonte, my hometown. There, I had the pleasure to get to know the very famous Brazilian clothing label: Mara Mac.

I absolutely fell in love with their winter 2009 collection and must share my favorite pieces with you! Hope you enjoy this very contemporary yet warm and down to earth look that has moved me so much!
