United Kingdom born, Los Angeles based actress and voice-over talent, Serena Lorien invited BMF to place the magnifying glass upon her closet.

This outstanding brit-beauty has several projects on her hands such as working alongside Thora Birch and Efren Ramirez in the feature film “Sound of Mind”. Her ascension to the top is on track with Hollywood’s A-list. Anglotopia.net called her “the brit actress to watch out for in 2012″.  We agree.

When BMF opened her closet, we found several beautiful dresses and high heeled shoes from designers such as  BCBGmaxazria, Guess, Max Studio, and French Connection. We fell in love with what she had to share.

Alright, Fashion Week in New York City was quite a success.  BMF took a close look at the trends for this upcoming season.
Here is the lowdown.  Definitely, bold color, a lot of “maxi” for skirts, dresses and trousers, animal and batik inspired prints but also worth mentioning – simple whites.
And for the more Niki Minaj-esque women among us, designer duo Meadham Kirchhoff won’t disappoint you.

BCBG and Lamb.

Victoria Beckham and Chloe.

Just Cavalli and Micheal Kors.

Oscar de la Renta and Mui Mui.

Burlesque -  The art of the tease, some might call it.  Many books were written about this style of performance and many people have not fully grasped its beauty and entertainment value.
With the help of New Orleans born Actress/Singer/Philanthropist, Kirsten Henry King, BMF had the chance to take a closer look into the fashion of this intriguing art.
Kristen Henry King has a remarkable portfolio in the arts of music and film.  Her latest project is a blog about “decoding Hollywood” where she works on revealing the mystery behind “making it” in the entertainment industry.  “A journey to the A-List”, as she calls it.  Sounds interesting, follow her on twitter.

Time for Romance on February Fourteenth.
The countdown is running to an entirely invented Hallmark Holiday – Valentine’s Day.  Four more days to go and we will dine and wine at restaurants and receive flowers that are absolutely overpriced.  The color red will dominate us all.  But let’s take a look at the most intriguing part of the day.  Lingerie belongs to Valentine’s Day like the arrow to cupid.  Ladies, let’s be fashionable and sexy underneath, shall we?
There is something for all of us – from La Perla to Victoria’s Secret or Frederick’s of Hollywood.


And don’t forget stockings, of course.

 

Even if you don’t have a Valentine yet, treat yourself to something nice because you never know what can happen after three Martinis.
Have fun, kids.  Enjoy.

Having three passports from Mexico, Canada and Spain and speaking three languages, French, Spanish and English,  Mexico City born trendsetter Warren Tardif has the world to his feet.  In his early twenties on a flight from Paris to Istanbul, he made a list of things to accomplish within the next five years, including traveling all 50 States of America and most of Canada and Mexico, graduating from University of British Columbia, visiting all five continents, buying a Jeep and finding spiritual peace. And indeed, at the age of 25 he was able put a check mark behind all of them.
Today, his closet is organized to a tee filled with suits from Zara and H&M along with clothes from Urban Outfitters and local boutiques.  Not to mention, his subscription to GQ Magazine renews automatically.  We are looking at an ambitious young entrepreneur from whom we can expect to see a lot of in the future.

A Sunday morning field trip to the Santa Monica Vintage Expo.
Myself and Amy, TeamFranzy’s social event coordinator, had an inside look at today’s vintage collections.  At times it was highly overpriced and when mentioned the response was “It’s Vintage!”.  By raiding your grandma’s closet you might also get lucky and find one or two pieces that are just as “vintage”.  However, with a few finds that just made us happy, it can be said it is worthwhile to spend a couple of hours looking at hats, headbands, sun glasses and eye glass frames, and lots of beautiful jewelry.
