Peter Jensen Anna Karina AW 2011

Danish designer Peter Jensen channeled  Anna Karina in his  A/ W 2011 collection. She's one of my style icon:)

I have been sick for the past few days. I need to restore my energy for this weekend's flea market. Maybe a relaxing with more  sleep---maybe this medicine to cure my sickness.

XOXO Maria

My style muse - Maria Felix

Maria Felix

“Many feminine images have ignited the fantasy of the Mexicans. But the myth of María Felix is different—such a woman —with the audacity to defy the ideas machos have constructed of what a woman should be...she disperses the clouds, or illuminates them with the lightning flash of her gaze.” 
—Octavio Paz, Mexico’s Nobel Prize-winning poet

Maria Felix was one of the biggest actress in Mexico. During the Golden Age of Mexican cinema,  she portrayed as a  strong and sexy leading lady in nearly fifty movies. She became an icon during its golden age in the 1940s - a period of resurgent national pride. the incarnation of the strong, sexual woman, who would, nevertheless, be tamed by machismo before the end of the movie. 
She  was  a muse for several writers like Octavio Paz and famous artists like Diego Rivera.  


A homage to the Latino actress and her penchant for flamboyant hats and big gaudy diamonds.
