Mr. X and the Diva... by © Champagne! Sparkling Couture New Release

Mr X and I talked about how much the meaning of the word diva has changed. Originally it celebrated a woman of great talent in the opera... and slowly over time this meaning was extended to the theatre, cinema and of course popular music.

In dressing to meet Mr. X tonight, I could not resist wearing the new gown by Enzo Champagne called "Diva." It is irresistible in Nile Green, one of my favorite colors.

The interplay of silk and sequins is intricate and beautiful with tone on tone of green expertly textured amid a pattern that dazzles. The bodice of this gown is embellished by a flurry of feathers crowned  by a sumptuous pendent.

Expertly accessorized this gown has opulent drop earrings in emeralds and peridots with their mellow glow symbolic of  love and warmth.   Wearing this indeed brings out the "diva" in me.... Mr. X likes that!

Diwali and Mr. X... © Champagne! Sparkling Couture New Release

On the first night of the new moon of Kartika Mr. X and I plan to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light.  Diwali marks the triumphant return of Sita and Rama to their northern home of Ayodhya.

Enzo of © Champagne! Sparkling Couture has made the perfect dress to fete this time of year, appropriately named, Diwali.  This ensemble was the gown MVW India 2014 wore.  You don't have to be a contestant to wear this glorious dress... that is sure to bring out your inner goddess.

 The four arms of Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth and prosperity represent the four directions.  Many celebrate Diwali believing that Sita is  an avatar of Lakshmi, both are known for their purity.  (No comments from the peanut gallery Mr. X). The details of this outfit with it's sacred lotus flowers and candles  that are lit during Diwali add authenticity to this fabulous outfit.

I love the jewel for my hair that comes with this dress along with the flaming halo much like  the one that Lord Shiva as Nataraja dances the universe into creation and destruction.

Brazil's Untamed Heart and Mr. X - © Champagne! Sparkling Couture New Release

Mr. X is taking me far from the glitz of Rio and Sao Paulo...to a place deep in the jungle... a place of samba and Yoruban chants... caipirinhas and candomble..... and what to wear.... the newly released Brazilian Jungle MVW Brazil by © Champagne! Sparkling Couture.

This fabulous gown radiates tropical heat with its' intense yellows, vibrant blues and greens, magenta and orange. Wearing this I want to  follow a giant tantan drum...deep into the emerald forest...the  drums talk in rhythm in ways I cannot completely rationalize... except that life here is fluid....and I am enchanted...in this Brazilian Jungle.

Like everything Enzo creates, the details are impeccable right down to the two parrots on each shoulder that are festooned with colorful feathers.

I love the floral display of MVW Brazil it beckons like a mini rainforest...I feel like a gorgeous bird of paradise in this... fluttering from place to place.

In this dress... Mr. X and I dream of the three c's of Brazil... candomblé, capoeira, and the Carnaval...where drums echo throughout the nite as we sip rum on quiet terraces overlooking the ocean.

MVW Spain new release by © Champagne! Sparkling Couture

The colors of Spain...lapis lazuli, apple jade  and gold...  embellish this beautiful gown called Origin that was worn by MVW 2014 Spain designed by Sparkling Champagne.  Layer upon layer of blue chiffon with an intricate green and gold pattern floats effortlessly with each movement.  

At dusk, the sun bathes the landscape in gold...accentuating the gorgeous jewels that crown this dress... grand peacock feathers, golden wings and a wide belt  set with lapis lazuli and jade.

Mr. X tells me this lavish dress with it's asymmetrical hemline and flowers that seductively wrap around legs and arms was created to entice!

The moorish styled necklace and gorgeous turban embellished with gold chains is set off by jade and lapis lazuli flowers and crowned with a peacock feather that adds an air of mystique. I have paired this dress with Beatrix Skin in Tan by Morphine...for group members there is a 40% off sale through March 9.

I can feel the orange blossom scented breeze...swirl through the Moorish magnificence of Alhambra... with its' intricate patterned ceramic tiles, filigree windows and scalloped stucco...I wait for Mr. X ...in the golden twilight.
