THE VIXEN'S SHOES- GIVENCHY!!!

Barneys New York makes me feel like I am in candy land. I always pay a visit to my shoe guys in the store. All along I thought the merchandise were all the same, I was wrong. They just got in new shipment of Givenchy. I almost cried like Pandora.

You know how I get obsessed with shoes... it's so Gipetto. There were these elastic black boots from Givenchy, I tried it on and it fit like a glove. I felt like a vixen for a split second. When I saw the price tag, it was not bad.

Then again, I had to control myself. I told Emerson to hold the shoes for me till I leave for the Philippines. My addiction to shoes... really bad. I have to get rid of that habit. I was shaking as if I just got out of shoe rehab.

While I am typing this entry, I am still thinking about the boots.

I asked myself, should I stop this addiction or not?

My conclusion, I am a shoe WHORE.

REEDER'S PROPHECY XVII- WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO!!!

Usually, I switch my phone to silent mode so I can sleep. This time, I forgot to do it. At 5am, I got a random call from Mystery Man. I was half asleep and half awake.

He is excited to come to New York. He told me that he might extend his trip or might stay for 3 days. He told me that it will be him and I.

I said, "How did your conversation go with Mr. Roboto?"

He replied, "It was very tragic Gipetto, but I had a couple of whiskey and it went fine. I had an excuse to leave because I was tipsy."

I have seen him tipsy at Casa Mono and he can be really funny.

He loved the Robot inspired model from Balenciaga. He was teasing me that I should be a robot for Halloween. I told him that it won't match my personality. If he can pull some strings with Nicholas from Balenciaga, may be I will wear it.

I could not sleep anymore. I told him that I had to go running.

He asked, "What do you wear in Central Park?"

I said, "Leggings. I only wear leggings, a dri-fit turtleneck from Nike, and my blouson track jacket."

He said, "Very sexy, no wonder why you get these men from the park."

I told him that I had to go. He gets jealous when I start talking about men. HAHAHAHAHA!

He made my day.

Of course my music for the day is from Donna Summers, "I FEEL LOVE".

REEDER'S PROPHECY XVI- MR. ROBOTO!!!

I had a great time with my friend Claudia and her beau. She just came back from Europe to rap up fashion week for Spring/Summer 2010. After a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, I had to go home and do some chores.

I forgot that my phone is not on silent. Of course, I got a random call from a blocked number. Guess who? Mystery man. He is so excited to come to New York and eat at Casa Mono. He was telling me about his travels, but I was too tipsy to listen. I know he had some great adventures, but I just could not pay attention.

He was telling me about his bland friend. When I say bland friend? A friend with no personality and no drive to talk. I was laughing because he could not stand people like that. I just told him to be cool with him and talk about happy stuff. Trust me, it can be a drag sometimes to talk to people that have no PERSONALITY.

We started sharing funny stories about ROBOTIC like people. I was laughing so hard that my doorman told me to keep it down. I told Mystery Man that I have to rest because I had a fun-filled week.

He is coming back to New York for a few days. Who knows? We might have a ROBOTIC bland conversation. I can't blame him. It is tiring to talk to people with no personality. Then again, we are all human beings. No one is perfect.

Quick Question? Why are these ROBOTIC like people are in any industry? So tragic.

BALENCIAGA'S SPRING 2007 COLLECTION- TRON ROBOT

NOUVEAU!!!

I always believe in emerging designers. They add the spice in the fashion industry. New York is known for producing talented designers... thanks to Anna Wintour's CFDA/Vogue Fund award.

To tell you the truth, I even interned with one of the designers. Now, we help each other in making the fashion industry a fun playground to play in.

Besides believing in these designers, relationship is one of the key elements for success.

Robot like people in the industry should be kept in STORAGE.

POWERFUL COLLECTIONS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2010

There were so many mixed messages during the Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion week. New York, Paris, and Milan produced the best collections for this season. Women morphed in becoming strong, tough, and powerful individuals. In this economy, women have to be tough and make bold choices. Now, the vixens are on the lose. The modern Glamazons can withstand all the obstacles in life. Beauty and toughness lead to an unstoppable army of incredible women.

Here are my top picks for the season:

1. BALENCIAGA

2. BALMAIN

3. LANVIN

4. CELINE

5. GUCCI

6. RODARTE

7. PRADA

8. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

9. YSL

10. MICHAEL KORS

LANVIN RULES THE CATWALK IN PARIS!!!

I give 5 stars to Alber Elbaz for whipping an amazing collection for Spring/Summer 2010. The clothes are simple divine. He mixed two silhouettes together: loose and tight. In the beginning, his glamazons strutted the cemented floors of the warehouse in all black. As soon as the salmon/beige dress came out, Nirvana was experienced.

His attention to detail is beyond this world. If you take a close look at his creation, the amount of work and craftmanship is seen.

The jewelry, shoes, and bags work together. His women are powerful, but possess a soft quality to thing... Beauty.

This is one of Alber's strongest collection for the house of Lanvin... the hottest ticket in Paris.

VIXENS RULE PARIS!!!

The vixens experience full power in Paris. Two of the greatest heroines of the city of light: Balmain and Balenciaga. These two talented designers paved way to the modernity of fashion. Their women cannot be described by words. Every time I hear the names Balmain and Balenciaga... FASHION AND BEYOND.

These two designers separate themselves what New York, London and Milan are doing. They know what their women want to be... FIERCE and FEROCIOUS.

For this season, Balenciaga dismissed the notion of cocktail dresses. Nicholas Gheisquiere had enough of seeing these dresses on the runway. Who goes to cocktail hour? No one. He opted of going back to his roots... chic sportswear. There were a lot of high waisted pants with attention to detail. Sleeveless track jacket that fit like a glove. Shoes that say, "BUY ME or YOU WILL BE LEFT BEHIND." I believe this is one of his fearless and strongest collection. It is a departure from his fascination of draping from the previous collection. Needless to say, Balenciaga has been the leader in the evolution of fashion.

On the other, Christopher Decarnin of Balmain did an amazing job for the house. His vixens were not from the 80s. They evolved to powerful women who are ready for the kill. The mixture of silhouettes made this collection strong. He used a lot of leather, tattered knits, and Napoleon Bonaparte inspired jackets.

His ideal woman is from the Amazon jungle that morphed to something else... Modern.

These two designers make the fashion industry exciting. With a few disappointments from New York, London, and Milan; Paris will set the trend for an intense Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

In fashion, women want to dream. Right now, women want to feel powerful, strong, and ready in any obstacles that come along their way.

So this is what we call REAL fashion... GO FIGURE!!!
