SHORT TEMPERED

Sunburst ombre bubble statement necklace via ILY Couture | J Crew neon yellow shorts  & silk blouse - similar here & here | Zara heels & handbag | ASOS claw cuff bracelet | Crystalized nail ring via Minusey 

Feel like these neon yellow shorts from J Crew are going to be my unofficial uniform this Summer. I am not sure what I love more about them the color or the fit, but I must confess I've been wearing them everyday as of lately. I simply change my tops and heels and voila - a whole new outfit:) 

Today was another one of those blazing hot days in LA and because I had a few errands to run, I threw on this breezy silk shirt to keep me nice and cool. Funny thing about this shirt is that I first saw it on J Crew website but was always too busy or lazy to go to the store to try it on. So, by the time I got there J Crew was completely sold out. After calling a few stores, I managed to find the very last one in size Large. Determined to have it anyway, I tried it on and I have to say that I rather prefer the loose fit.  Guess the lesson is you never know unless you try:)

BOTANICAL BRIGHT - WIN OPPORTUNO DRESS

(Opportuno Venecia cashmere & silk-blend dress, Zara blazer & heels, Ann Taylor Large Leather clutch, ASOS claw ring, spike stretch bracelet & skinny cross bangle) 

Somebody asked me recently why I named my blog VivaLuxury, which got me thinking I never really discussed the meaning behind the name of my blog. You see, to me, the word luxury is synonymous with comfort, confidence and overall good feeling. My blog, above all else, celebrates the idea that clothing must be enjoyable to wear and make you feel good. Which brings me to this week's giveaway, when Opportuno contacted me about hosting a giveaway for one of their gorgeous designs, I couldn't help but think that a lightweight cashmere and silk dress represents a quintessential VivaLuxury item. I mean really, does anything feel better than cashmere?:) So, without further adieu, this week you have a chance to win a beautiful Venecia dress made from the finest Italian silk & cashmere. Hope the winner enjoys wearing it as much as I do!

THIS GIVEAWAY is open to everyone,

PRETTY PEPLUM

(River Island cream floral print skinny trousers, white cap sleeve peplum top & rose gold toggle bracelet, Zara heels, Botkier satchel, ASOS claw ring & spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one)

First, I would like to start by announcing the winner of Vitamin A International GIVEAWAY. And the winner is Anita O from Brazil! Anita is planning to wear her Vitamin A suit at the gorgeous Carioca Beach! Congrats and I think I speak for everyone when I say we expect to see pictures:)

In other news, I mentioned before that I have a few more GIVEAWAYS coming up, the second of which starts next week. So stay tuned and I will keep you posted!


This week I am very excited to team up with River Island to showcase some of my favorite fashion trends for SS12. Since I am such a fan of feminine dressing, peplum is certainly one of the trends I look forward to wearing this Summer. To keep this look soft I added a pair of cream trousers in a delicate floral print. How about you guys, which is your favorite trend this Summer?
