Behind the Scenes - Stacia Photoshoot
I just completed my Spring/Summer 2010 photo shoot and it was a blast! My photographer, Colette de Barros, could not have picked a more beautiful and fitting location to showcase my new collection - Palos Verdes, CA. Gorgeous! We could easily have been at Makapuu Beach on Oahu or in Havana, Cuba with the rocky reef-like tide pools and warm glowing light along the beach. It was such a thrill as a designer to finally see my vision complete on a beautiful, bubbly model frolicking on the beach in my colorful designs. It finally came together - my vision and designs that have been in my head for 5 months are now a reality.
Check out my new behind the scenes video of our long sunny day in Palos Verdes (yes, the amature video is courtesy of me and my point n'shoot camera, but thankfully my talented husband made something out of nothing with this little iMovie!) A special thanks to my wonderful, dependable friends, Thao Luu, Misa Hamamoto, Judith Toth, and the amazing and talented, Colette de Barros. I couldn't have done it without you guys! So here it is, the new collection coming soon to a store near you this Spring, and available for viewing at the upcoming NYC Fashion Coterie trade show.

In Spot: Renee Zellweger
Walking in sunshine to Good Morning America
Renee Zellweger looked absolutely breathtaking from head to toe while heading for Good Morning America Studios at Times Square in her chic gray pencil dress from Carolina Herrera Resort 2010, which she complemented by her eye popping orange Hermes Birkin bag. She completed the look with nude pumps (that look delightful) and brown aviators.
It's an immaculate look that Zellweger is carrying. Do you like?
Leaving Regis and Kelly's Show
Lately Ms Zellweger has really been catching attention with her gorgeous looks and eye-popping style. Earlier she looked stunning in a grey dress while going to GMA, and now this blue dress looks just absolutely fab. Her bags are equally smart. First she had an enormous orange Hermes Birkin, and now she’s carrying a much smaller, much more expensive Hermes Kelly in burgundy crocodile that is perfectly complimenting her navy dress, and the aviators give the outfit a bit of an edge. She is wearing nude shoes and gold Rolex with the outfit.

Are you excited to see the gang back together? Read on.....

What are the four lovely ladies wearing?
A newly single Samantha looked sexy in a cutout LBD, VBH Palm clutch in shocking mastice drip python (worth $1300), gold hoop earrings and black Ray Ban shades (she could have done better in the shoes department).
Miranda looked lovely in an asymmetrical neckline mustard dress cinched with tan belt, that complemented her red hair, and Yves Saint Laurent Triumph platforms (they cost $795).
The always gorgeous Charlotte was pretty in pink - a pink skirt suit, matching satchel (all Dior) and dead gorgeous white and pink Louboutin slingbacks.
And the leading lady, SJP, wore a Halston Heritage white dress, gold and metal Chanel clutch and glittering leopard print Louboutins.
.
.
Who do you like the best?
My vote goes to Miranda.
.
The first shot
The first photos of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) filming scenes for the Sex and The City sequel on location in New York City and we must say, we're quite impressed.
.
Sarah Jessica Parker - first shot
SJP looked every bit the fashionista in her first shot of SATC II where she was wearing a gorgeous V-neck white Halston Heritage dress which she accessorised with colurful jeweled Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace. She added gold sparkling tuches to her simple white dress with Mykita & Bernhard Wilhelm shades, a lovely gold and metal Chanel clutch and sky-high Christian Louboutin sparkling gold pigalle heels.
.
.
For all those who are thinking that the SATC II revolves around the recession hit Carrie and Big, think again. Not only is Carrie wearing those amazing Louboutins and Chanel clutch that cost a bomb, the Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace she adorned is worth $198,200. Not exactly recession-friendly, is it?
.
Super High Heels and Oversized Bags
The heels and the bags just get higher and bigger in the Sex and the City II.
.
.
In this shot, Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw rocked a knotted plaid shirt (showing off her midriff) paired with skinny cropped jeans (with zippers at the ankle), a lime green wrist band, an oversized bag in grey and a $835 Brian Atwood Loca studded fierce heels in purple. Do you like her shoes?
While Carrie sported a causal look, Miranda looked fab in striped dress (love the colour of her dress) that she accessorised with a long matching necklace, an oversized brown tote with orange handles and matching studded high heeled strappy sandals. I would say my vote among the two ladies goes to Miranda again.
I am totally lusting Miranda's bag.
.
.
.Style in Colour and Louboutin
.
SATC 2 replaces Manolo Blahniks with Christian Louboutins. SJP aka Carrie is Louboutin loaded in the new Sex and the City movie. And looks like, colours are in full rage in their new wardrobes. We've seen purple, green, mustard and pink earlier.
.
In another shot, Carrie is sporting four different colours in one ensemble. Carrie Bradshaw stepped out on the streets of NYC rocking a sparkly purple Halston Heritage cocktail dress, which she paired with with the Christian Louboutin Gino T-strap heels (in yellow, black and gold), Christian Louboutin's large Sylvia hobo bag in pink and Jee Vice’s Heated orange shades and a silver floral pendant necklace and a chunky silver bracelet.
Is that a colour overdose or the new twist to the popular colour blocking trend?
.
While Carrie sported all colourful look, Miranda chose to colour herself in fuchsia pink for two different scenes in the movie Sex and the City II.
Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is wearing a fuchsia pink cowl neck top, which she paired with a tan jacket and white jeans. Love the fuchsia and white combo. From what looks like, she is wearing blue trainers with the pants and carrying a red bag. In another shot, she is clad head-to-toe in a hot pink ensemble, wearing a lovely Roland Mouret crepe dress with matching Christian Louboutin heels. Even her blackberry cover is matching her outfit.
.
Girls, hot pink is going to be the new hot colour for the coming season. We had earlier seen even Charlotte (Kristin Davis) wearing all pink in one of the first shots of the movie. Pink shoes, pink bag, pink dress - it does look good.
.
in Dior newspaper-print dress from Season 3
.
Sarah Jessica Parker wearing the same backless Christian Dior's newspaper-print dress for SATC sequel that she had worn during Season 3 of Sex and the City (when she apologized to Natasha for wrecking her marriage with Big).
In the movie, she paired the sexy backless number with super high Louboutin lace booties, which can be spotted from a mile away from their trademark heels. Its the second time she is wearing another sparkling shoes from Louboutin in the movie.
.
Is this start of a new trend, glittery shoes?
.
.
.
Colour me Green (purple...pink)
.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis wore green dresses during the movie Sex and the City 2.
SJP sported a green upside down tree dress that she teamed with a contrast blue and pink colour block clutch and black, blue grey shoes. The accessories contrast way too much with the dress to like. Does not go well. You like?
She's wearing the same star pendant that she was spotted in earlier.
.
White SJP choose to go with a contrast look, Kristin was all matchy-matchy in green with a monochromatic look. Kristin wore a gorgeous ruffled green dress that she matched with suede green pointed pumps and a green tote. Although its definitely a green overdose, but she still looks pretty.

.
While Carry and Charlotte made their statement in green, Samantha looked smoking hot in purple halter. She completed her purple dress with a thick gold and turquoise blue belt cinched at waist, huge statement earrings and purple rimmed shades. She wore wodden clogs in purple to go with her attire. She was seen wearing the same shoes earlier in the movie shots, but in cream.

CARDIGAN: Michelle Obama's Style Statement
Apparently our favourite clothing piece, CARDIGAN, is a key piece of almost every ensemble of the First Lady and more often than not she wears it well. The First Lady has brought back the cardigan back on the fashion map with a modern elegance. In fact, her style is so closely associated with carigans that her wax figure at Madame Tussauds is also dressed in a cardigan. A cardigan with pushed-up sleeves over a sleeveless dress or a simple blouse has become a signature look of the First Lady.
Michelle Obama has an extensive range of cardigans in various styles and colours including brights, beaded and neutrals that helps her to dress up or down depending on the cardgan style.

At a reception honoring Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the White House, Michelle Obama was dressed in a ivory and black pleated dress by Jason Wu topped by a short-sleeved turquoise cardigan with a cardi-matching Erickson Beamon brooch and chunky bracelets.

Mrs Obama wearing a white Moschino blouse at two different events, styling it smartly with cardigans.
She wore a studded Sacai belt over a pink Junya Watanabe cardigan and her white Moschino blouse, paired with trousers while visiting children. At another, more formal, event she chose to wear her same white blouse with a black skirt and a black cardigan that was cinched with a patent black belt.
