Gisela Styles her Emporio Armani 70's Pants

I'm so thrilled Maury finally got a break from her hectic life to do a a beautiful posting for us! She's been wanting to post forever but she's is seriously the busiest woman I've ever met and extremely hard-working. She's got some free time this weekend and she's gonna post some of her wickedest shoes! Can't wait..

In the meantime, I've been wondering how to style these Emporio Armani pants I recently purchased and I found one way to do it so far. Got this F21 off-the-shoulder sweater top and sun hat by Jessica Simpson. I kinda liked how the worn leather straps of the hat hang down on my shirt like a necklace :-)

Ever since I saw Jane from  Sea of Shoes
wearing that floppy headpiece, I've been literally obsessed with how
wonderfully retro and sexy it looks on her.

And check out bad-ass model Kemp Muhl, along with Yoko and John Lennon's son Sean, sporting hers on the streets of Paris.

and here again with Doutzen for an editorial.

I may trade in all my ebay money for a  luxurious Mediterranean cruise this fall instead of indulging on an expensive pair of boots like I mentioned to you guys in a previous post. If everything goes according to plan, I shall be wearing this outfit on the in the sunny Isle of Capri!! The only other catch is I can't spend a dime! My hubby said that will make the difference in weather we go on a luxury cruise or carnival.. yikes!!! lool! I'm trying, God knows I'm trying!

So I mentioned to Maury a few days ago about this craze going on over the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. For those of you not familiar with it, its a hydrating protein treatment (with or without formaldehyde) that coats the hair shaft and leaves it frizz free, pin straight and brilliant for about 3-4 months. Halle Berry and Lindsey Lohan swear by it and I was ready to jump on the $300 and up band wagon until I went to my fellow Dominican hairdresser in the Heights yesterday. She offers it too and I was about to schedule a session but after she finished with my hair I said to her, if you do my hair like this all the time, why in the world would I need a BKT! She washed, cut, set, blow-dried and flat ironed my hair for only $28. I mean it doesn't get any better than that!

Any of you had the BKT done? If so, I'd love to know what you think and if you are considering it too, I'd love to know.

  1. I really like this kind of asymmetrical cuts, the way it makes blow such a wind of sensual nonchalance . . . a fortiori with such a caressing fall of mane on it !!!
    ps: Mmmh Actually The first picture (notably with this hat and its mysterious subsequent twist) subtly reminds me on a certain "Vacances à Capri" atmosphere, Here declined on a Dark way . . . until your polished toes !!!

  2. You look beautiful in the last photo. Love the hair. I hear the BKT is not entirely safe, too. Not so sure.

  6. Lovely. I need to wear my floppy hat again this summer!
    I haven't gotten the Brazilian but I'm interested in it. I don't know if you ever read "My Super Sweet fashion Diary" but D. has gotten the Brazilian, and she loves it. I've been thinking of doing something like it (or the Japanese straight perm), since my hair has been impossibly wavy. We'll see!

  12. Gisela - you look stunning! And I loved the way you styled the Armani trousers. That hat is definitely ultra glam and would add chic to any outfit. I can so see you wear this on a cruise.
    Oh, and I'm seriously drooling over Maury's dress and footwear in the last post. Great ensembles!

  17. Hi Maury and Gisela,
    How are you doing?
    Gisela, I love your hair and outfit as well. the hat look very stylish too.
    Gisela, we had once time vacation alone when my kids was toddlers and it's a nightmares because of missing them. Since then, we did not have any vacation without them. Untill, couple months ago, we had alone vacation for Paris trip and it's fine. we learn that we arrange many relatives visiting them, arrange many activitives to keep them busy and entertaiment. All that made us feft better because we knew they're fine. I hope you'll have a great time.
    Hanh,

  24. They are too adorable. I cant wait to see more. And the new fabric line I just love. I had my list of what I wanted to order and it looks like I will be adding more. I love the summer colorway. I was thinking of decorating my daughters room with it. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more!They are too adorable. I cant wait to see more. And the new fabric line I just love.
