Style Obsession: Leather & Pearls!

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

Fashion Week is definitely a time to let your creativity come out in your fashion sense. This season I payed very close attention to my accessories to make my look signature and unique. I personally feel that accessories are  the most crucial pieces of any outfit. That having been said,  I’m beginning to really appreciate [...]

I used to really love this show, but over the years I feel as though it’s become [...]

FANCY FOOTWEAR: Crazy or Cool?

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

So there’s this fairly-new brand out called “Irregular Choice”, and let me tell you: Irregular choice, is DEFINITELY an understatement for this colorful footwear. When I look at these pieces, I can’t help but to think of Steve aoki. And FYI, I can’t stand the way he dresses– sorry y’all but it’s true. There is [...]

HAUTE-SHOTS: Balenciaga SS2010

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

I chose to feature this piece today because I was amazed at the experimental photography used for these ads. As many of you know, I am beginning to embrace the world of photography full-on, as I have been timidly riding the lines of porfessional photography for years. I love to be challenged by new techiniques [...]

Fashion w/ a Twist: MISSONI SS2010.

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

Missoni has long been a favorite of mine. I remember being like 12 and 13, flipping through Haper’s Bazaar’s and marvelling at the exotic knits with their intricate designs, patterns, and warm colors. This is signature of Missoni style. I also loved the ‘cat-eye’ their models would rock. always reminded me of TWIGGY. But I [...]

CHANEL IS : Coco-A-Gogo.

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

The Coco Chanel brand has created a series of ingenius ads in honor of V Magazine’s plus-size issue. I love the dry humor being personified in the ad. The image of a conservative old woman, in a fierce Chanel suit, standing with a full-bodied, vibrant, over-zealous, tartly-clad woman is genius! it’s like Classic Chanel meets [...]

V. Magazine & the Beautiful “FAT” Girls.

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

V Magazine recently did an issue exclusively with plus-sized models. What I liked about the piece was that they actually used models that are traditionally plus-sized. In the fashion world, plus size can be anywhere from size 8 and above. In the REAL world, plus size is considered 14 and above. The women they used [...]

Trend-Alert : CUDI and the Kilt.

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

Last week on NYE, Kid Cudi rocked this stylish kilt on the red carpet. The photo has a lot of people buzzing. I, for one can dig it. Ironically, that morning I had seen a man in times square with a kilt, and I commented on how dope I thought it was….  And it most definitely is. [...]

HAUTE SHOTS: Looks from Russia [With Love].

Posted by: Cocoa Bella In: News

Clearly, these looks are too extreme for everyday-wear. I can definitely see Gaga rocking some of these fits, but I was inspired while browsing TRENDLAND to post these. I could see these being used in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. The looks are very fantasy-inspired. I’m diggin it.  The shots were taken from a Russian [...]
