Hello everybody! Check out my interview for this fun blog:

Secret Of Style

Add Some Volume

It's nice to see some people opt for  coats with volume, they're a great choice!

Strike a Pose

Genius idea: your blazer should have  the same length as your dress for a very sexy look!

Keeping It Simple

I like the way she wears this, her outfit is simple and the bag is the main character here.

Bone Bag

This was on a window display in Paris, I don't think it's meant to be used but it's quite interesting.

Funky shoppers, Via della Spiga

Tabitha Simmons Shoes

Voguette Tabitha Simmons is doing a great job with her new shoe line. I saw these while I was at an art opening and was immediately smitten.

Paris Chic

How chic is this lady walking through the streets of paris? This is how I want to look in the future! Ok maybe I'm not blond but you got the point...

Bangles

I'm in love with this bangles from Louis Vuitton...I would wear them all together!!

I just love the colors in this picture and I had to share it with you. I've seen A lot of animal prints lately. I spotted these guys in Paris.

Your Weekly Battaglia Picture

Saint Honore, Paris

I met this lady on rue Saint Honore, she is from Kuwait and comes to europe often on shopping sprees. Love the drop-crotch pants, jacket and boots, also her bag. I hope I see her again!

Jimmy Choo for H&M

Remember how I told you that I'm a sucker for those H&M collaborations?  I made a fool out of myself (fortunately nobody I know saw me) making a line for hours with my stomach growling to get these cute clutches! Hey they're worth the humiliation!

Paris Paris

This is such a fabulous look: Trench, pegged jeans, booties, striped shirt and oversized bag.  I'm still looking for nice striped top, will get on it again tomorrow if I have time!

The Finger

Delfina Delettrez Fendi has a wacky imagination when designing jewelry. How cool is this ring?

Giovanna Battaglia

Giovanna was in a wild mood this morning! Awesome as usual...Pay close attention to the coat's lining, it matches her boots!

Designer Profile: Adriana Castro

Bag designer Adriana Castro is on fire!  Her bags are being sold everywhere around the world, every celebrity and socialite is obsessed with carrying her pieces and  We are very proud of her!  Read more and see what she has to say about her life and career right now:

Fashion Memoires: Where do you get your inspiration? 

Adriana Castro: I am inspired by the look, feel and finish of the variety of skins.  I can envision my handbags just thinking of how the skins will drape and how the different textures will blend together. Also, color is another great inspiration. I am in love with color. Color is so powerful. In Miami, where I live and work, I am surrounded by an amazing, vibrant palette…from the tropical landscape to the unique architecture, I am constantly thinking of new ideas just walking around the city!

FM: Who are your fashion icons?

AC: Sarah Jessica Parker, Carla Bruni and Queen Rania Al Abdullah

FM: Which tools do you use for research on trends?

AC: I create my own trend. The more you look for what is out there, your imagination will find a limit. The idea is to experiment, mix colors and textures to create something that you like. I will never design something that I would not want to carry myself. I believe that design is all about expressing your personal style.

FM: Have you personally met some of the celebrities who wear your bags? / Which ones?

AC: Yes, I have met Eva Longoria, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. They are all very sweet. What I love the most about these celebs is that besides being beautiful, stylish and successful, they are involved in supporting great causes and giving back through their charitable work.

FM: How do you feel about people calling you the next Nancy Gonzalez?

AC: Hearing this comment is very surreal for me, as Nancy Gonzalez has been an inspiration for me, especially as she is also from Colombia.  I greatly admire her success and talent, so the comparison is clearly a great honor.

FM: Have you thought about opening your own shop anytime soon? Your clients would love it I'm sure!

AC: I have thought about it...it is a goal for the future.  In the meantime I am focused on positioning my brand globally, to establish a great level of brand recognition.  I aspire to become a brand name that is associated as among the best in the world of exotic skin accessories, both with the consumer and within the fashion industry.

FM: Who are your favorite designers?

AC: Valentino,Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera.

FM: What activities does a usual day in your life include?

AC: Research, Design, Trunk Shows, Personal Appearances, Photo Shoots… and of course, spending quality time with friends and family.

Balmain Lover

This lucky lady was going into the Balmain store in Paris with her hubby, I really wanted to go in and see what she was getting! Unfortunately I can't stalk people... Great jacket and bag she was wearing.

Hello gorgeous

I have been drooling over this bag for a while now, I stare at it every time I go by the Prada store... I desperately need it!

The Bag

A friend was wearing this bag last week and I liked it a lot, go figure it's from Zara! They're making nice stuff these days. Any thoughts?

Running Beauty

Running in heels seems so easy when you have legs as long as these... Parisian chic definitely!

Around Colette, in Paris

I just got back from Paris with some wonderful pictures for you guys! Here's the first one. Tights, fringe boots, navy blue shorts and YSL bag.

Feminine/Rough

Pierced Bag

Wonderful bag isn't it? It's by Pucci and it rocks!

Glove Clutch

This is the coolest, funkiest hippest bag I have ever seen. Can somebody remind me why I still don't have it? Triple wow!

Muse

What I first noticed about her was her YSL muse bag but then I realized how the whole outfit was grungy but in a fun way. It's daring and different.  Are you in?

Tartan Coat

A tartan coat is a witty twist this season instead of a simple black one.  By the way those shoes are adorable!

Peek-A-Boo

The Fendi Peek-a-boo satchel is the perfect timeless objet to invest in. (It's quite an investment), but worth every penny. You are supposed to carry it open to show the interior, it's spacious and thus comfortable.  Anybody else need it right now?
