Posted by Carolina

Emma Watson wearing an Oscar de la Renta dress to the UK Premiere of Harry Potter and  the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.  Love love love the fact that she's wearing a Dominican Designer! Kudos to the Dom. Rep!

Thoughts? I think she looks stunning. But then again I adore Oscar de la Renta way too much to hate on one of his designs.

CFDA Fashion Awards: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Posted by Carolina


Ashley: The Row dress and handbag, Manolo Blahnik heels.
Mary-Kate: The Row dress and handbag, Chanel jacket, Louis Vuitton heels.


Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were my childhood. Full House was my favorite show ever, I owned all their straight to VHS movies since they were little kids to teenagers and watched them repeateadly. 

I have followed/bought clothes from their "Mary Kate and Ashley" for Wal-Mart when I was a kid and currently following their couture fashion label "The Row" and my favorite high end yet young line "Elizabeth and James".  Here they are looking absolutely divine at the CFDA Fashion Awards held in New York City yesterday.

Ps: I can't believe they're turning 25 this year.



Harper's Bazaar May 2011: Lady Gaga

"We all have these bones!"  "They're the light from inside of us". 
- Lady Gaga 


My name is Carolina and I love Gaga editorials. I'm not a FAN (I do like a few songs), I just find her extremely likable and just the enough amount of "cray cray" (Urban: For crazy or out of your mind...get with it kids).       Loving the multi-boob shirt...

Me llamo Carolina y me encantan los editoriales de Lady Gaga.  No soy FAN de ella (Si, me gustan algunas canciones), pero por lo que he visto en entrevistas, es super simpatica y humilde.

Best dressed at the Oscars

Posted by Carolina

I've been really disappointed with the fashion worn on the Red Carpet this award season aka The People's choice fiasco (I refused to post anything about it). Fortunately my faith was restored with the Academy Awards. 

He estado muy decepcionada de la moda utilizada en las Alfombras Rojas en esta temporada de entrega de Premios.  Por ejemplo, el fiasco de los Premios People's Choice.  Afortunadamente, recupere mi fe con los Oscars.

Cate Blanchett in an elaborate beaded and pleated lilac Givenchy Haute Couture gown.
This woman is absolutely flawless, never dissapoints.

Esta mujer nunca decepciona. Es espectacular.
Mila Kunis in a lavender lace Elie Saab Haute Couture gown.
I adore any shade of pruple and this color definitely does perfectly with her skin tone.

Adoro el purpura en cualquier tono y este color le complementa perfectamente con su tono de piel.

Amy Adams in a L'Wren Scott gown.
I love this dress on her, not sure of the dress by itself but she makes it look spectacular.

Me encanta el vestido en ella, aunque tengo mis dudas acerca del vestido por si solo. 

 

Skins USA: Awesomeness or an american Degrassi?

Posted by Carolina




Fun fact: The TV show gets its name from the standard rolling paper which gets filled with marijuana, known as “skins”.

Nota: El programa de TV obtiene su nombre del papel utilzado para enrollar la marijuana. En inglés esto se le conoce como "Skins".  


Watch the following video, its an exact comparison between the two versions.  Bryan Elsley (co-creator of skins) says the story is only similar for the first episode. 

Mira el video que te pongo a contiinuación, es una comparación exacta entre las dos versiones. Byran Elsley (co-creador del progrmas) dice que la historia es similar solo en el primer episodio.


I started watching Skins UK since its premiere in 2007, had read about it somewhere and in a moment of boredom decided to give it a go and watch it online.  The first episode was…boring, but Tony looked good so I decided to not judge so rapidly and continued watching, as the show kept on progressing,  each episode got better and last thing I know: I was hooked.  


Comenzé a ver Skins UK desde su lanzamiento en el 2007  había leído sobre el programa en algún sitio  y  en un momento de aburrición, me puse  a verlo online.   El primer episodio fue…aburrido, pero Tony se veía bien así que decidí no juzgarlo tan rápidamente y lo continué viendo.    Al transcurrir los capítulos, la serie fue mejorando hasta convertirme en  fiel seguidora del programa.

Then series two came along…then series three (with a complete different cast), then series four…soon series five (will premiere next year with a new cast).  -Skins change cast every two seasons, in order to keep the novelty factor.

Luego vino la Segunda temporada…luego la tercera (con un elenco totalmente diferente), luego la cuarta temporada….y proximamente viene la quinta (se estrenará el próximo año con un nuevo elenco). –Skins cambia de elenco cada dos temporadas para conservar el “factor de novedad”.

The show is all about sex, drugs, heavy drinking and all the struggles that come with being a teenager.

El show trata sobre todo de sexo, drogas, el abuso del consume de alcohol y las luchas que se presentan cuando se es adolescente.


Now the same makers of Skins UK have created Skins USA…yes! The exact same show but based in the states, aka  American accents.   This wasn’t exactly a shocker the States have done remakes of various famous english shows.  Greatest example: The Office and the soon to come out “Shameless”.

Ahora los creadores originals de Skins UK lanzan una version Norteamericana llamada Skins USA…SI! Exactamente el mismo show PERO basado en Estados Unidos, osea, acentos norteamericanos.  Esto no viene de sorpresa ya que, Estados Unidos sufre con hacer sus propias adaptaciones de programas ingleses.  El mejor ejemplo: The Office y el próximamente a estrenarse “Shameless”.


I won’t judge until I watch but let’s be honest USA have annoying strict viewership guidelines for TV shows….you can’t curse (I mean REALLY curse..the naughty stuff), you can’t  clearly consume drugs and you can’t show any type of nudity nor clear sex scenes.

No juzgare hasta que vea el programa, pero seamos honestos, los Estados Unidos tiene demasiadas reglas estrictas en lo concerniente con programas televisivas…asi que no dudo que Skins USA será una versión muy censurada de Skins UK. 


Obviously if the show were to be on HBO or Showtime you could..but that’s another thing Skins USA is being made by MTV.   The same network that gives: My Super Sweet Sixteen will show skins.   Surely they won’t allow the same level of raunchiness Skins UK possess, so Skins USA will be a toned down version of Skins UK. 

Obviamente si el show estuviera en HBO o SHOWTIME, no habria razon de censura PERO Skins USA saldrá por MTV.   La misma cadena que da: Mis Super Dulce 16.  No creo que MTV permita el mismo nivel de “obscenidad” que la versión inglesa.  

Diminish the amount of sex, drugs and cursing involved and you have:  Degrassi.

(LESS) sex, drugs, foul language = Degrassi 

We’ll see how it’ll turn out once it premieres.

Disminuye la cantidad de sexo, drogas y malas palabras y obtienes a: Degrassi 

(MENOS) sexo, drogas, lenguaje obsceno = Degrassi

Ya veremos cuando estrene.



Skins USA premieres Monday, January 17 2011 at 10pm on MTV.
Skins USA se estrena el Lunes, 17 de Enero 2011. A las 10pm por MTV. 

  
What are your thoughts about this remake or remakes in general?

Carolina Herrera Spring 2011

Posted by Carolina


My favorite.

Carolina Herrera's Spring Collection was definitely asian inspired.  

Lots of red, flowers and origami structered evening gowns. She stuck to a theme and it came out beautifully. Not at all repetitive, everything different and stylish.

Passion Red // Rojo Pasión
Flower detail // Detalle de Flor
Passion Red w/origami detail // Rojo pasion con detalle de origami

La colección de Primavera de Carolina Herrera fue influenciada por el continente asiático. 

Vestidos de Noche de Mucho rojo, flores y origami.  Herrera se mantuvo con la temática asiatica y logró una coleccion magnífica.  Nada de repetitivo, todo diferente y de mucho estilo.
