Happy birthday, Rouge! Loubs as a work of art

Dear readers,

Happily The Go Rouge blog turned one year yesterday. It all started from a single idea of an unemployed girl a year ago to share contemporary, easy, stylish and charming ways of living life. I am happy to be part of your life from time to time and reach over 4000 views during a year.

Birthday edition of Go Rouge is about stunning work of art by Peter Lipman who filmed autumn collection of Christian Louboutin shoes and bags. The Rubens styled masterpieces do not need any description. Some of the places shoes in a vase full of fruits or flowers, some plays them as wine glass, and others throw Loubs into the wild among dogs.

Please enjoy the unforgetable advert campaign for Christian Louboutin FW'13 by Peter Lipman.

Возвращение шпилек

«Дайте девушке правильные туфли, и она сможет покорить мир” – сказала Мерлин Монро. Собрались покорять мир? Все дизайнеры подскажут вам правильные туфли сезона – остроносые стилетто, туфли на шпильках. Многие из нас уже привязались к платформам, высоким каблукам, открытым носикам,  и стилетто сейчас покажутся как назад в 90-е. Но более смелые модницы находят новый силуэт очень освежающим и соблазнительным.

Каблучки стилетто явились трендом с тех пор как вошли в мир моды в 1930-е годы. Они стали неотъемлемой частью гардероба стильных и молодых женщин, бизнеследи и светских дам. Женщины полюбили туфли, которые мгновенно стройнили их ноги и добавляли блеска и остроты к любому облику. Ведь недаром название этих туфель в переводе с итальянского означает нож, который напоминает форма шпилек – острый, тонкий и длинный.

Как и многие другие модные аксессуары, каблучки стилетто явились продуктом итальянского рынка моды. Вскоре туфли покорили сердца миллионов по Европе и Америке. Для удовлетворения спроса на туфли создалась целая отрасль производства.  Шпильки производились различной высоты, от 2 до 15 см, а подошва делалась достаточно тонкой. Но большую изящность туфлям добавили заострённые кончики.

Большой камбэк шпилек выделили в своей осенней коллекции туфель великие дизайнеры Jimmy Choo, Casadei, Sergio Rossi, Charlotte Olympia, Valentino, Manolo Blahnik, Michael Kors и другие. В строгую классику дизайнеры добавили новые украшения и декорации – щипы, бантики, пряжки, и прочие побрякушки. Однако встречаются и классические стилетто одного цвета или принта. Леопардовый принт стал самым горячим трендом осени 2013. Если вы решили обзавестись парочкой остроносых шпилек, остановите выбор на классических лаковых черных стилетто и парочке леопардовых туфель.

Equipment Designer Clothing

Exploring new designers is always a wonderful experience. Equipment is the one I discovered this autumn. I noticed a very stylish silk blue leaopard print with long leeves on my friend. I directly searched for it and found out it was an Equipment Owen Dress. While googling the designer I realized I would never draw my attention over Equipment if I just found it in online shopping. Because the items look very strict and ordinary. But I assure you, it looks totally different when you wear it. The dress on my friend was an IT dress!

Inspired by Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, Christian Restoin's 1975 collection introduced men's shirts to womenswear. Current/Elliott's Serge Azria relaunched the brand in 2010 with a collection of boy/girl styles in luxurious silks, infusing the label's heritage with contemporary edge. Both men and women are going to enjoy the stylish, fresh yet simple look by Equipment.

I invite you to look through the collection on Equipment website. You can obtain or check out Equipment clothes in Baku in Emporium store. Or check out more on Harvey Nichols UK. Enjoy!

sHoEs... not only ladies go crazy about

The ones that he wore. Likey?

The other day I caught myself staring at my bf's shoes. "You like them?" - he asked. Those shiny, very classic loafers that felt like 80's are back. "Not really" - came out of my mouth unwillingly. Did I sound too straightforward? But isn't it the essence of relationship - honesty :)?
He had those classic black intrecciato woven Bottega Veneta loafers of recent collection which he liked veeeery much. It made me think - what are men's shoes about? With women's shoes it's very clear - they should be sexy, make legs look slender, heels, toes, platform (and bunch of other tricks). And men's shoes?
So I started my little research in men's shoes world. I realized moccasins are my favorite type of shoes to see on a man. Plus they are funny and comfortable to wear. So, darling, if you are reading this - please take that into account.

Would gladly like these ones instead. Bottega Veneta.

Here I found some very stylish shoes of recent haute couture collections. Guys, try these (not exactly these, but kind of) if you want to draw her attention!

20's glamour

I am utterly excited over upcoming movie "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Isla Fisher, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, a masterpiece written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. We’re still a month away from the May premier of the movie in Baku. But anticipation for Baz Luhrmann‘s gorgeous mix of the literature pieace and dazzling fashion of twenties. 

Storyline: Nick Carraway (Toby Maguire) is an aspiring stock broker in 1920's New York. Living on the outskirts of town, he reestablishes a friendship with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), and her husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Nick also befriends golfer Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki), who is pressured by Daisy to begin a romance with Nick. Jordan informs Nick of his neighbor, the rich and enigmatic Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is famed for staging large, flamboyant parties for the region's elite. Attaching himself to Gatsby, Nick learns of a love that was broken between Gatsby and Daisy by the First World War. Now, Nick is caught in the crossroads of a staged game aimed at recreating the past. Soon it begins to show that greatness can sometimes be superficial to a person's real identity.

Love is in the air...

Here we meet again in 2013! I wish everyone a good and successful start of the year, may all your plans come true this year. Surely I wish you a great love and would love to share photos of top 5 adorable celebrity couples.

5) Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel got married last year. They look pretty cute and happy together!

4) Miranda Kerr - a VS Angel and handsome Orlando Bloom are married for many years and have mutual kids. Despite of their hectic lives both of the spouses love and support each other.

3) Kate and Williams relationship seems a fairy to many girls all over the world. The girl has found her prince and carried the relationship throughout many years till he proposed. Kate and William are married for almost 2 years and expecting a baby.

2) I think Beyonce's life should be a sample to many celebrity girls. She first dated, then got married and only then Jay and Beyonce became parents of a wonderful baby Blue Ivy. Beyonce and Jay-Z are one of the best celebrity couples in the history of showbiz!

1) My personal top favorite couple of all time is Kanye and Kim. Kim is famous for being a  flirt and freack. I admire how love to Kanye made her a loyal loving woman. Kanye has the best style both in business and life. I think Kim is what he ever needed. Soon to be parents Kim and Kanye are Nr.1

Gifts for him

As promised earlier I am presenting you my top 5 gifts for men. So I did some digging, visited shops, surfed internet - as usual getting a present for your man/dad/brother/son is the hardest thing, since they don't wear makeup or jewlery, are not really interested in tons of things from fashion to cooking and have very limited amount of gaments to wear. And it appears that the best thing to buy for a man is a gadget if you can afford or follow his hobbys and make conclusions. So here is my top 5:

1. Christmans Jumper. Of all prices, all qualities and styles. Very fashionable this winter and best for leisure outfit. Check out men stores like Debenhams, Zara or asos.com 

2. Men Flight Bag. Did you realize he is carrying too many things with? 2 mobile phones, wallet, keys, earphones... Try to secretly wonder whether it would be comfy for him to put everything in one bag and carry things together without losing or forgetting them. If he is okay with that - go ahead. Men Flight Bags are compact, roomy and comfy. You can get sportive one in Adidas or classic (leather maybe) in stationary or men shops.

3. Shaving kits. Razors, aftershave, shavers. Because all men shave. Depends on how they shave. For razor shavers there are gorgeous razor kits online in Emporium  and in L'occitane stores in Baku.

4. Beats by Dre. Everyone loves music. Quality is the condition. Buying Beats for your man is a win-win shopping - you can use them yourself later on ;). Medium sized Beats cost 173AZN in Music Gallery store in Baku. Or you can order one via ebay.

5. iPhone/iPad Speakers. Again for music fans who love to enjoy music at (or office) very useful gift. The price starts from 50 AZN and you can get any kind from small to really big ones.

Shaving kit on Emporium online store for 83 AZN.

Hope the list will be useful and the gift receiver will be glad.
