Magenta8 Cape Collection.

 Magenta 8 designs and handmade tailored jackets, coats, capes and boleros made from luxurious baby alpaca wool.


Magenta 8's collection adventurously feminine 2010 hummingbird is based around the tiny bird and beautiful Peruvian bird.


Its worth knowing that Magenta 8 does not work on a seasonal basis, instead creates an 8-piece limited edition range each year. And practices frequent creation, continually rolling out designs around the initial 8 pieces, resulting in each of Magenta 8's stockist and most at times carrying their own unique range.


It is worth mentioning that Giovanna Velasquez is the designer, founder and creative director of Magenta 8.  Her work is instantly  recognizable for its feminine twist and satin lining.

Swarosvki (Fashion and Tradition)

It is all about crystals. It sparkles and it just brings a tingle to the eye.

Here is my little poem dedicated to Swarovski launch party,(Fashion and Tradition)

It was a night filled with glamour and elegance.


Swarovski Nights

'Jawaher' fell across her wonder,
A lightning flash of glamour bright,
where facets fire the visual thunder
And the sexy abayas rule the night.

Life is a opening to terror,
A golden path of thrill and terror,
where Brilliance blinds us to our us to our toys
And elegance calms all the boys;

The light came early on that morning 
As Venus set, and early sun
Commenced the path that, unbegun,
Seemed hard and stony. Lovely dawning

Was when the Beauty came again
And let her blue gaze calm men.

DKNY Press day.

Social Mixers and glam nights whether dressing for work, dressing for a party or a great escape. DKNY has it covered. 

Their collection is very modern and has an edge of eccentricity to it. It is a collection that is very feminine, chic and flatters the female body. 

Like all times, DKNY understands what the modern woman wants to wear.





Eclectic mix of luxe.

Mix with feather-sequin skirt. One of my favourite.   A statement piece.

Sequin tops. 

Knit scarf teamed up with a cotton shirt, a waistcoat and a skirt.

Mix colors of knit wear looks. Very Vibrant and effective look.

Different style looks. Love the reversible long body warmer  coat.


Long fur body warmer. A must have for this winter season.
