Maravilloso Max Mara Otoño-Invierno 2017

Una colección rica, exquisita, maravillosamente clásica, aunque con un giro moderno y nuevo:
                                            Max Mara Otoño-Invierno 2017.

La riqueza de sus materiales es famosa. Lo mejor de la mejor calidad posible.  Si hay que tener 1 solo abrigo en el mundo ¡debe ser uno de cashmere de Max Mara! No todos los pueden tener, de acuerdo, pues son carísimos, pero al menos debemos buscar abrigos menos caros que se les parezcan.
Este año la marca añade el rojo a sus tonos beige. taupe, camel. oro con brillo, etc. Tambien el color plata.    Y los diseños son holgados, cómodos..Perfectos.

Good bye to the iconic Waldorf Astoria Hotel

The iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel in closing for 3 years as it is renovated into a Chinese-owned condominium.  New York is changing so much! 

I have attended at the Waldorf so many Vanidades events -and met scores of celebrities. Last time I was there it was 3 years ago at the Spanish Institute Gala in Nov 2013, where Oscar de la Renta (still healthy!) introduced me to honoree Hillary Clinton, who was wearing one of his designs in dark navy blue -which zipper broke and I know this because I found her and her assistant Uma Abedin sewing it at the bathroom!! ...Also there "old friends" -always so friendly Queen Sofia of Spain and Antonio Banderas, with a very unpleasant and dour faced Melanie Griffith.

Many anedoctes and photos here:

Disco platforms? Yes, they are back!

Not for everyone. but they are definitely back! Nostalgia or a lack of fresher ideas? Whatever the reason, the "disco-platform" shoes are all over -and the most famous brands are making them.
