Hermes, Omnipresent!?

Nay, probably not for Hermes' accessories.

At least I couldn't tell right away if someone wears one or two. ^^

A little treat for myself. 
Hermes horn earrings. 

They are very BIG... and that's why I like them!!
My statement earrings. 


Then I realize the horn and the silver hook can be parted to wear them separately. 


You may ask how do I wear the horns?


I hook them onto my old Hermes necklace.


 or I will think of something in the future! ^^

I found that my hair is the easiest manageable when I washed them everyday. I can style it the way I want...such as blow it straight or curved inward. But that's just too time-consuming to wash hair everyday and style it everyday, isn't it!? 

However, it is the most difficult to style when I didn't wash my hair for 2 consecutive days... I mean if I wait till the 4th day to wash it, I can never manage the end tresses. You know the sweats and oil are the biggest nemesis to a stylish and pretty hair.  Who doesn't want a lustrous hair, right? But if that does happen, I just tie my hair UP. 

Luckily, this just over the shoulder length makes a perfect tiny pony tail, don't you think?!!

Nick Verreos on UsWeekly's Fashion Police-Bristol Palin & Levi Johnston Cover

Wasilla Fashion Cop...
Just a reminder to check out the new July 26Th issue of Us Weekly, where in the last pages, I am giving my "Nick Two Cents" in the Fashion Police Section of the magazine. I have been one of the "Fashion Cops" dishing out the "Oh no she didn't!" for almost two years now and let's just say there's always LOTS to write about!
In this very hot "Bristol and Levi are getting Married!" issue, I comment on Mary-Kate Olsen's head-wrap turban (very Samantha from "Sex And The City 2" the tween version!) and...
Claudia Schiffer's not-so-Supermodel fashion sense. Be sure to check out my every-other week Us Weekly "Fashion Police" installments and see you at the airport newsstands kids!

The Most Famous Cardigan!!

Yesterday, I put together a quick and fun birthday party for my little one, Ilona, for her 3-year-old birthday! Meantime, I took the chance to meet up w/ my closest gals and their family. It was such a wonderful night, and Ilona finally had her FIRST SOLO birthday party! ^^

Happy Birthday, my litl. princess, Ilona!
(Looks like I had twins there~~ :P )

Oh, yeah, SF city again! Seriously, I should either move UP to SF city or down to LA so I can live close to FaShIoN or at least smell FaShIoN nearby!! :P 

I had my limedrop cloud cardigan on again and I received compliments for this cardigan the WHOLE DAY!! Literally, I am not joking......people come forward to compliment my cardigan, a dapper man in Emporium Armani, a pretty lady in THE COFFEE BEAN, a SA in Bloomingdales, ..........I think I also should give a big thanks to StyleBubble who introduced this collection on her blog! Thank you, Susan!

Nick Verreos Heats Up Miami and Premios Juventud, Chica Orbit: Part Dos!

THE Dress, The Blue Carpet, the After Party, My Twin...and SHAKIRA video!!!One More Photo Please: Chica Orbit (in Nick Verreos for Orbit Gum Dress) and Nick Verreos, 2010 Premios Juventud

Well, the day finally arrived: After several days in Miami, filled with fittings, alterations, adding last minute crystals and some hot-and-humid Miami Premios Juventud pre-events, of course, Thursday was upon us!Presenting Orbit: Nick Verreos before going onto the blue carpet, 2010 Premios Juventud

It was going to be VERY HOT out on the "blue carpet" and so I decided to wear a white jacket, white dress shirt, purple TopMan skinny pants (they were a hit!) , an Etro silk pocket scarf, and I even had David Paul (my Nikolaki partner) make me a custom Orbit Gum Logo Swarovski pin for my lapel (very cute!). Chica Orbit was radiant in my creation: The dress fit perfectly, she looked gorgeous and when she put on the earrings and held her clutch, well, I was a proud Premios Juventud "Prom date"! We were ready to go...In the waiting area, I ran into a bunch of kids who just happened to be the back-up singer/dancers for Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" performance which opened the awards show. Some of them recognized me from Project Runway and were big fans so of course we took photos!
Now onto the Blue Carpet:
Chica Orbit in Nick Verreos Custom for Orbit, 2010 Premios Juventud

Here's a view of the Chica Orbit in my "Orbit Print" dress, showing the draped cowl back.
In addition to the cocktail dress, the clutch, the earrings and other accessories, I also made a custom pocket scarf, using another print from Orbit's new "retro" collection. Univision's "Fashionista" from El Gordo y la Flaca, Rodner Figueroa (who co-hosted the Pre-Show), wore it.

My Twin?
Not Me: Mario Domm (center) of the Mexican band, Camila

During my entire time in Miami, at least TEN people stopped me (on the street, airport workers, even at the Premios Juventud blue carpet!) asking me if I was Mario Domm from the band Camila? I didn't even know who they were (I'm a bit late with the Latin soft-rock music world!) but when I almost got in a fight with a cab driver who INSISTED that I was him, I finally had to Google him to see for myself who my doppelganger was. I guess it's the hair, the skin color and the beard. I'm flattered since I'm sure I could be his (very) older brother! I wonder if he ever gets asked "Are you Nick Verreos from Project Runway?". Doubt it! (laugh out loud)

The After Party:
The Scene at the Biltmore Hotel Ballroom, 2010 Premios Juventud After Party

Following the blue carpet, we went straight to our seats and watched the entire show. In case you don't know: It was THE highest rated program on Thursday night, beating out ALL four major networks and it was the No. 1 topic on Twitter WORLDWIDE that night! After the show, we got in a special bus, which transported us to the Official Premios Juventud After Party at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.
The Biltmore Ballroom was set up with a dance floor, a DJ, several Open Bars, and even Cirque du Soleil-like dancers/performers in hyper-shocking costumes. Waiters also -passed around delicious hors d'oeuvres like chicken mini quesadillas, fried jumbo shrimp and burger sliders, were passed around for the guests to enjoy.
Novela Chica and Chico: Chica Orbit, Rosario Abarca and Mexican actor Eugenio Siller, Biltmore Hotel 2010 Premios Juventud After Party

It seemed like "everyone who was everyone"--except maybe Enrique Iglesias and Shakira--were there! I spotted lots of those Mexican Galanes--heartthrob soap-opera actors--and my date , the Chica Orbit was happy when I "forced" her to take photos with them!
Nuestra Bellezas: Designer Dannette Sotero, Nick Verreos and Melissa Marty, Biltmore Hotel 2010 Premios Juventud After Party

I was also excited to run into Melissa Marty, Nuestra Belleza 2008, who co-hosted a Despierta America Sears segment with me last year. She looked very sexy in a fitted color-blocked dress. I just love her; she was SO sweet and SO happy to see me (and visa versa).
Chica Orbit and I ended the night by meeting-and-greeting the "Orbit Gum Girls" who were at the 2010 Premios Juventud After Party, handing out lots of Orbit Gum! Love those bags. Must get one for my next trip to Miami Beach! Until next time kiddies.
