Miroslava's Magic

Miroslava's Magic by divadebbi 
Thank you Polyvore for choosing this as a Top Set 9-22-13!

This is the second time I have created a Polyvore set based on this woman's style...I needed to know who this stylish minx was.

Thank God for Google.  She is not really a random "street style" find. Last week she attended NY Fashion Week, this week she has moved on to London's.

She is the former editor of Russia's Harper's Bazaar.  She now works freelance and is a social media fashion star, with images of her fantastic styling on her diminutive frame, circling the world everyday.

We have Olivia Palermo, Moscow has Miroslava Dumo.

Now I know...

Wardrobe Staples: Summer Sandals on Polyvore

Wardrobe Staples: Summer Sandals by divadebbi 

Alexis Mabille white top / Open cardigan / RED Valentino tulle mini skirt / J.Crew leopard print wedge sandals / Trussardi leather shoulder bag / Hermès bracelets bangle / Curb chain necklace / Bead necklace / Chanel / MAC Cosmetics mineral lipstick / Balenciaga fragrance, $91 / Bobbi Brown Cosmetics beauty product

Polyvore my guilty pleasure, (that is at least less fattening than wine or dark chocolate,) frequently runs contests.  This one, was on how you style your "wardrobe staples", the summer sandal.

I have always been a enamored with leopard prints and this adorable J.Crew ankle strapped wedge immediately appealed to me. I love to pair animal prints with neutrals, crisp white and a touch of black.

I would also not hesitate to subtlety mix an animal print with something like this delicate pin dot, Red Valentino skater skirt. Finishing touches?  A gorgeous toe, a neutral bag, a mix of bold and delicate jewelry, a dash of Hermes and always, a good whiff of Balenciaga Paris.

Fini.

Rosie Rocks Balenciaga

Rosie Rocks by divadebbi 

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is an English model and actress. She has a flawless sense of style and her "street" images are widely "pinned", "polyed" and copied. I am mad for these neutral, dark taupe Balenciaga peep toe "shooties".

I have been observing Rosie for over two years now...I'm still waiting for that off day.

Goddess...

Enchanted!

Fresh! by divadebbi featuring lancôme

Ever since I was a little girl I have had a weakness for soft pink and lavender and certain iris  purples.  I think it harks back to a large Disney Cinderella book I had.  In my mind's eye, I can still picture the magic of the scene where Cinderella is transformed for the Ball, the pumpkin has turned into a coach and the mice into footmen.  All were awash in the colors above.

To this day, the memory and these lovely hues still enchant me. We are never too old for a good Fairytale, don't you think???

Sometimes Life is a Circus... Promoted by Balenciaga

Sometimes Life is a Circus... by divadebbi 

I didn't win the 520 million dollar lottery, but I did have a really great week on Polyvore...essentially the equivalent.

I am incredibly honored and thrilled to have in one week, received honors for Top Sets and three corporate promotions from Nars Cosmetics, Ted Baker and Balenciaga.   In this set I included  Balenciaga's  fabulous accessories in this lighthearted set. I am so pleased they liked it.

My sets have now received over 1.1 million views and I am close to achieving my goal of 2000 followers by the end of next month.  I think it's really important to always be trying new things, striving to improve and setting and achieving goals.

Internal beauty is a gift you can choose to give yourself...

I feel pretty...Yay! Top Sets Winner November 18th 2012

I feel pretty... by divadebbi 

It's always nice to be recognized by the Polyvore Editorial team and included on their "Top Sets" page (November 18th 2012).  What a lovely honor!

I think it's interesting that my BFF Barbara Newman, and dear friend Q. of Quintessence Blog, both of whom have storied careers in advertising and publishing, picked this out of all the sets I post as something uniquely special.  Good eye ladies!

My Polvyore sets have now surpassed 1,000,000 views in just 7 months.  Creating them and being part of this amazing community of incredibly talented fashionistas has become a daily joy for me.

I know not all of you still quite understand my Polyvore obsession, but now that I have figured out how to sign them, you can see they are my own creations each day.

Polyvore is also a shopping tool, so if you see something you love, if I have selected it from Polyvores offerings, they can be purchased with direct links to the websites.  I also "clip" images from all of the Internet.  Those items cannot necessarily be purchased, they are simply images that inspire and please my eye.

My sets are always a reflection of my taste and how I style my clients.  I can honestly say I have never included anything I wouldn't want to personally own.  I have crafted a delicious fantasy closet.

 I hope you are enjoying them too...
