Ah, I am so excited, at last Emil and I managed to get some time off so we can go to Palm Springs. Seems like we've been planning this trip for months now, ever since we came back from New York fashion week to be exact. But something always came up and we kept postponing. But no more, this time the room is booked, half of my closet is packed and ready to go and we have 3, scratch that 3 and a half days ahead filled with lounging by the pool, sipping cocktails decorated with little umbrellas and doing a whole lot of nothing. You can follow our little Palm Springs adventure on Instagram @vivaluxuryblog

PEEK A BOO

Printed rose skin maxi dress via Flirtcatalog.com | Victoria's Secret Pink bandeau bra | Woven east/west bright tote via Rebecca Minkoff | Zara heels | Spring friendship bracelet in celadon by GagetLou via Boticca, stackable gold triangle rings by Jung Ee Eun via Boticca & silver stackable rings by Nikki Baker - square, citrine oval, sapphire pear - all via Boticca 

I would like to start by announcing the winner of Belina International GIVEAWAY! Congrats to I'm a Love Addict, hope you love these bracelets as much as I do!

 A post comprised entirely of my latest obsessions. Take for example this cute little bandeau bra top from Victoria's Secret. Every year, come Summer time, I begin a desperate search to find appropriate undergarments  for all the open-back, low-front, spaghetti-strapped dresses and tops in my closet. This year, having discovered these neon-hued, pretty enough to-be-worn-out bandeau bra tops from Victoria's Secret, I embrace a new carefree approach and simply let them show:) 
Another obsession du jour is anything neon, especially neon yellow, I simply can't get enough of this sunny, perfect Summer color! And if I happen to find a gorgeous high-low neon yellow printed dress and a beautiful woven pattern summer tote in contrasting neon yellow and natural leather, nothing makes me happier:)!

I would like to start by congratulating Ramya from WardrobeMenu blog with winning Opportuno dress International Giveaway, I hope you enjoy wearing this amazing dress as much as I do!

Secondly, I am happy to announce a new very special Boticca International Giveaway. Since I am a big fan of Boticca, I would like to start of by telling you a little bit about them.

Boticca is the online boutique for one-of-a-kind jewelry and fashion accessories by top independent designers. More than an online retailer, it's  a market place. Curated by fashion experts, designers, editors, bloggers and collectors, what makes Boticca so different is the fact that it's founders aim to help up-and-coming independent designers be discovered and gain access to customers around the world who are looking for one-of-a-kind pieces. When you buy a piece on Boticca, you buy directly from the designer, you have an option of interacting with whoever created the piece, to ask them questions or read their amazing stories.

 As a person who has a lot of appreciation for unique and one-of-a-kind pieces and emerging design talent, I am absolutely ecstatic to team up with Boticca to offer $100 Gift Card to one lucky VivaLuxury reader!

THIS GIVEAWAY is open to everyone,

TOUCH OF TANGERINE

(Gap Mason crew tee, Nanette Lepore sweet sixteen skirt, 3.1 Phillip Lim Minute clutch, Zara heels, ASOS claw ring, spike stretch bracelet & skinny cross bangle)

I am so excited to once again take part in Gap's Summer Styld.by campaign. Since I am such a fan of Gap and bright colors, it was absolutely amazing to style pieces from their Summer12 collection. To see the full feature on Gap.com, please CLICK HERE, or click on the images in the post above!


My inspiration for this particular outfit was one of my favorite fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2012, which is colorblocking. My take on wearing this trend is to maximize impact by pairing two solid-color pieces in complementary hues. To complete this look I added a simple black clutch and a pair of heels with a neutral front and a bit of matching tangerine drama in the back.

SHOP MY CLOSET ON THREADFLIP

Hey Everyone,

 I am so excited to be featured on Threadflip homepage, an online retailer which allows you to sell items from your closet. I've been obsessed with Threadflip for some time now, by far, it's the best way to sell items from your closet and see what treasures others have for sale! Right now I have my eye on a pair of metallic Prada wedges! I know, more shoes, but they are Prada and I am only human, after all:)

I add new items to Threadflip pretty regularly, CLICK HERE to see the complete list. If you have any questions about any of the items, please feel free to contact me directly and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

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,

OLD FRIENDS AND NEW and it will SHIP INTERNATIONALLY
