Let's play grown-ups

J'adore la mode!  from its eccentricities, to its minimalistic tendencies; I love everything about it.
But one of the lovely fashion trend that speaks the most these days is the ultimate utilitarian, promoting the working ladies and lads of our time. It begs for for the classic and timeless, well- tailored, no fuss, adult-ish ensemble! I definitely go weak in the knees for a well-tailored suit paired up with an impeccable shoes and topped off with charm and wit in the workplace. I mean you can almost always guarantee that a man would look good in a suit and a woman oozing with sex appeal and confidence would dress up, also in a suit. I think the trend might have been as a result of the recession and probably alludes to the American workers tightening their belt and getting down to B-u-s-i-n-e-s-s.

I'd love to dress up like an adult more often. At 5ft tall, I am mistaken as a teenager, sometime even a 12 yr old. Makes me need to work twice as hard as 'erbody else. I always love to find excuses to play dress up and would do it more often If I can. I just wish I had more required dress up events to attend to, maybe that will encourage me to dress up more...

Pardon the total and complete absence of photo in my part as I have no camera. Yes, I've been living in a cave for as long as I can remember. But definitely will plan to buy a camera soon.

Yet the two piece suit don't come complete without the famous classic handbag: the Hermes Birkin...Omg, dying to have one. And you know who else really loves The Birkin?! Victoria Beckham! Who may I add, also carries the chicest handbags. Can you say POSH?

Lovely to meet you!

Je m'appelle Luz and  I'm starting a blog! (Hopefully this time i'll be able to stick to it for real) Along with my great motivator, Anna! Though her name is easily pronounced, mine on the other hand, can be a bit tricky, Luz (Looz); not laz, or lauz, or lutz (Note: these were the names I've been called from the past haha). It's actually a very common Spanish name, though I'm not Spanish. I only know that 'Luz' means light in the English language. I would love to travel to Spanish speaking countries and examine how they use the word itself. I mean, is there a reason for me to feel special about my name? oh gawd, chuckles...

But enough about me ranting about my name. Anna, hurry up and name your blog!!!
