Aldo Summer Bags

Summer Bag

I think I have an obsession with Aldo, I love their shoes, their bags, their accessories, pretty much everything. This summer there is a variety of bags, from daytime at the beach to classy night at the theatre. My favorite bag has been the Birkin Bag inspired, a bag that Princess Grace Kelly and Jackie Onassis Kennedy would own .  Another bag that I fell in love with and own is a white bag with a gorgeous floral scarf, very Chanel inspired.

500 Days of Summer


One of my favorite films of all time, 500 Days of Summer, it is such a perfect film, drama, love, broken hearts, comedy, art, fashion, music, architecture, literature references, pop culture references, quirky. What I love most about this movie, it's that it is not the typical, romantic comedy about the girl with a guy that doesn't want to commit, with the funny girlfriends, typical dialogue about relationships and sex, this film is different, awkward, filmed in an artistic way.


I fell in love with Tom and Summer, and with Joseph and Zooey, but also with Summer's clothes, bags, shoes, bows, apartment. I loved how the director emphasized Zooey's blue eyes throught the whole movie, the color light blue is in her apartment, her clothes, the dance sequence, everywhere in the film there's blue. Summer's style was inspired by the 1960s quirky style, preppy, girlie, vintage inspired, 1950s ladylike, sweet dresses.

Lady Gaga's Judas

Lady Gaga is the most controversial artist of our time. Everything she does is jaw breaking, people expect the unexpected with Gaga. I think she feels that she has to shock us more than the last time we see her, no pressure, Gaga. Her latest video, Judas, a very biblical inspired video, many people were offended, others as myself were not offended.


The video shows Lady Gaga as Mary Magdalene, who is Jesus's disciple, but in love with Judas, the bad guy. The song describes this Gaga's love triangle between Jesus and Judas, but it really is a metaphor. Jesus represents the good guy, Judas represents the bad guy, and Lady Gaga being with the good guy, but in love with the bad guy. She knows that the person she is in love with is the wrong person to be in love with, and she wants forgiveness from the good guy. One of the most important message this song and video present is forgiveness, if Jesus could forgive Judas for his betrayal, then we could all forgive anyone who had cheated in a relationship.



The fashion in this video is just beautiful, Gaga is dramatic, as always, so sexy and dangerous with her motorcycle style, very Hells Angels. I loved Gaga's eye make up, which is inspired by the Egyptian make up during Cleopatra's time. Lady Gaga knows what she wants and knows what people love to see.
