Objects of Desire: Glitter Pants!!!

I got my very first pair of glitter pants back in April, but lately I seem to be seeing them everywhere, so of course I got more in other shades. It is fair to say I am obsessed with them, there is something about them that makes me think: GLAM! Take me back to the Bowie days, is all I can say! These are definitely a fun way to spice up an outfit and to make a powerful statement. You can find these pants at very reasonable prices in Zara, Mango and H&M. Don't be afraid to pair them with other textures like fur or leather, you won't regret it, they look good on everyone!

Dare to wear them and show us how you have worn them by using the hashtag #StyleModesta on Instagram or Twitter or by posting the look on our Facebook Page and you'll make it to the Stile Bit section of the blog! yei!

Objects of Desire: Statement Sunglasses for Winter!

With cold comes the sun...and if it doesn't you just put your sunglasses on anyway!

Hey Loves!

Forget about the following things: Sunglasses being a summer item, and sunglasses being classic...or shall I say, boring. 

Just remember this: Aviators and wayfarers are a complete thing of the past (unless they are extremely oversize) and that winter weather is the new excuse to wear statement sunglasses...

Yes, I said it: Wear sunglasses while it snows or when it's gray and chilly outside! Like I said on the previous Look Of The Day Post, accessories are not always meant to be functional and their use, isn't determined by necessity but rather by wants. 

Statement sunglasses are an absolute must to complement anything you wear in winter. I am personally obsessed, I love them and I can't get tired of wearing them.

Wear them however and with anything you want, make sure you keep them interesting, if you opt for monotones, go for interesting shapes, like extremely round and big or pointy cat-like-vintage-feeling sunnies, baroque or even beaded!  The bolder you go, the bigger the statement, don't be afraid to adorn your face with these fabulous pieces.

Objects of Desire: Gloves On!

Hello loves! It is gloves season, yes fall is fun for gloves but they are not really necessary  but with the first blizzards of winter happening in several places, gloves have instantly become a necessity and we have the perfect excuse to rock them out! Gloves are an amazing accessories, sometimes often over looked but when worn with style and opting for interesting, fun options they can become the perfect statement in any outfit. Whether it is a plane wool glove or a more interesting leather studded one, there are many different styles and ways to wear them: Long, short full hand, three fingers, cropped finger (Like the oh-so-awesome statement Lagerfeld gloves), there is always an option that will suit your personal style and any outfit you wear.

Here is a selection of my favorite gloves at the moment (and links to where you can get them). It really is about making a splash and wearing something that will be the object of conversation. Don't be afraid of textures and prints, chances are they'll make shaking hands a lot more interesting! Or not!

D.I.Y: Alter gloves you already have!

I myself chose to get my hand in a pair of gloves, but instead of busying them, I decided to make them! I took a pair of vintage gloves my grandmother gave me and I added collar chains to them by pining them on, there you have a practical idea and alternative to get our gloves on!

Object of Desire: It's a bow...a bow-tie!

Hello beauties! I have been wanting to do an "Objects of Desire" feature on bow ties for so long, but never really went about it. Everything I write about or feature are things, looks or trends I am currently loving and/or rocking (haha) so the thought of writing about something that I didn't really wear was not happening for me. SO as natural I waited until I actually tested the bow tie look and wore it for a bit. The result: I am now definitely obsessed with them!!!!

Bow tie Variety!

Bow ties have been around for centuries, first popularized by the French in the 18th century and as years went by their use ended up being relegated to just formal "party" wear. However, the last few years they have tried to make a comeback with some Fashionistas sporting them on their daily lives. They can certainly add a bit of flair to an outfit, with styles available in floral patterns, stripes, polka dots and almost any other variation. 

Whether or not they work for the average woman, really depends on each one of us. Personally, I see them not just as a necktie, but rather as an alternative to necklaces and definitely a fun accessory, come on, it's a bow around your neck, how isn't that cue? And if well wearing an actual bow tie may not be an option for some ladies, how about bow tie necklaces? now that is an interesting second choice! 

Bow tie necklaces!

So what do you say, desirable object or not? Be the judge.

Objects of desire: Printed EVERYTHING!

Yes, prints are a year-round must

I was doing a collage on prints and I though: Wow, I am definitely obsessed with prints! The have pretty much become a girl's wardrobe essential. Even though prints are normally associated with spring, they have really stepped out of it and made their way into other seasons. I discovered that lately when I go shopping I am instantly drawn into everything and anything with any sort of print on it. From jumpers, to shirts to shows, from polka dots to animal print to stripes, anything and everything that pops is pretty much a must in anyone's wardrobe. I used to be a little apprehensive about them, I actually still think they are tricky simply because once you wear something with a print on it it becomes memorable, and wearing the same printed piece can't be done all the time. 

However there is always a way, whether you wear it on accessories or clothes, and style it differently every time you wear a printed piece, you gotta have it, you gotta wear it, you gotta go crazy it. 

The Obsession

Ways to print your wardrobe up, many, it is entirely up to you.

Get some inspiration as to how to bring prints into your wardrobe!
