Put on a Chic face

After PFW I wanted to talk about Blanca Padilla because she's one of my new favourites. I loved her on the runway, and I thought people deserved to know more about her. Then, she was casted for the VSFS and my post about her got tons and tons of views. I've written over 400 posts since I created my blog, and my post about Blanca is 3 visits away from becoming the 4th most popular post I've ever written. The power of Victoria's Secret, ladies and gentlemen ;) I also wanted to use this post to talk about social media. There's someone pretending to be Blanca on twitter, but Blanca DOES NOT have a twitter account. Her agency confirmed that, and so did Blanca herself when she created a fan page in Facebook. In that fan page she linked her instagram, and she also said that she doesn't have a twitter account. Keep in mind that impersonating someone is against the law, so please don't follow that fake account ( @OfficialBlancaP ). I hate it when I see people o...

I'm not a big fan of these "no make-up"/"no photoshop" eds, since I find it hard to believe they didn't use any of their tricks in the pictures. However, these images are incredibly beautiful, and I needed to share them with you. I've talked about Barbara before. She's one of my favourite models, and I think she's one of the most naturally beautiful models I've ever seen. With a face like hers, she can do as many "no make-up" eds as she wants. But what I like the most is the vybe of the shoot. It's all very simple, but it has a nice touch. It's very intimate and minimal, and it brings out our emotions when we look at the pictures. I really hope you enjoy this ed as much as I did. No me suelen gustar estos editoriales que proclaman ser "sin maquillaje"/"sin photoshop", ya que me cuesta creer que no hayan usado ningún truco en las fotos. Sin embargo, estas son unas imágenes increí...

I've talked about the close relationship between fashion and music before. The last time I did it, it was more obvious because of the collaboration Ralph Lauren did with Avicii. This time is not as obvious, but you'll see what I mean to show you really fast. Taylor Swift features in fashion magazines very often (Vogue, Elle, InStyle,...) and she's going to performe at the VSFS again. Also, this video has been shot in the same mansion where Victoria's Secret shoots some of their commercials. But of course, the biggest reason why I talk about this video is Sean O'Pry. Sean is a very popular male model, and has done campaigns for: Viktor & Rolf, Salvatore Ferragamo, Hermès, H&M, Jil Sander, Armani or Kenzo, just to name a few. He's not the first model who appears in a Taylor Swift video, since Noah Mills did it before (We're never ever getting back together). But I have to say I like Sean's performance better. I don't know if he's eve...

I've lost count of how many perfume contracts Edita has. I mean, I can totally see why she gets them, but it's crazy. Take a look at some super famous supermodels, and you'll see they only have 2 or 3 perfume contracts. Edita has got over 10 since she started modelling. Chanel, Calvin Klein, Dior, Bulgari, Versace, Hermès, Viktor & Rolf,... most models dream of getting at least one, while Edita has tons of them. Why? Well, she's absolutely gorgeous. Her beauty is both classic and edgy. She's also very versatile, and her work for Calvin Klein proves it. She can be a lady in one ad, and a super sexy woman in the next. People who doesn't know or care about fashion can look at her ads and say: stunning! I want to smell that perfume. Now it was Roberto Cavalli who hired her. The Cavalli woman is sexy and strong, and those are qualities Edita has. The picture they use for the ad is great, and super eye catching because of the colours and the strength of Edit...

Wow, that's a long title. So get ready for it! Today I want to do my last post about the VSFS, and that's why I'm mixing a lot of topics. I'll do more once the events and the show take place, but I want to do something different after this post. I don't want my blog to be only about VS. If you have any questions about the show, let me know and I'll answer them on the comments. Vaya, ese si que es un título largo. ¡Preparaos! Hoy quiero hacer mi última entrada sobre el VSFS, y por eso voy a mezclar varios temas. Haré más cuando los eventos y el desfile tengan lugar, pero quiero hacer cosas diferentes después de esta entrada. No quiero que mi blog tenga solo cosas de VS. Si tenéis más preguntas sobre el desfile, decidmelo y os contestaré en la zona de comentarios.   -The performers: Being completely honest with all of you, I have to say I don't care about performers. Actually, some of them bother me. They think they're the stars of t...

Hello lovely people, Today I wanted to talk about the performers, but my internet sucks. Don't ask me why. When I'm sitting on my desk, my internet seems to disappear. I'm sitting on my bed right know and it works. I hate wifi, I hate laptops,...I hate everyone right know xD Just kidding, but it annoys me. So, I'll write about the performers tomorrow ( but it won't be up tomorrow). I'll be on a different house with proper internet, and everything is going to be alright. I'll only say that we have 4 performers this year: Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Hozier. Do you wanna know my opinion about them? Well, you can come back on Friday ;) Today I'll talk about the casting video. I usually love these videos because we get to see the casting board, and we get to know who went to the castings. This year we already know the entire cast, except for one model. So it wasn't as exciting, but it was pretty cool. In this video we can see mod...

I already talked about the models that are walking for VS this year. Now, I'll give you my opinion about the angels and the contracted models. Ya os he hablado de las modelos que desfilarán para VS este año. Ahora os quiero dar mi opinión sobre los ángeles y las modelos con contrato. ANGELS: Adriana Lima Adriana was my favourite back in 2008. But I don't really like her anymore. Some people say this is her ( and Ale's) last show and, I think it might be time for her to leave. She has a lot of presence and is very popular, but it's also boring to see her doing the same things over and over again. Too intense. Adriana era mi favorita en 2008. Ya no me gusta tanto. Alguna gente dice que este es su último desfile (y el de Ale), y creo que puede que si sea hora de que se vaya. Tiene mucha presencia y es muy popular, pero ya es algo aburrido verla hacer lo mismo una y otra vez. Demasiado intensa.  Alessandra Ambrosio Ale wasn...

Kendall has scored a big contract. Who would have thought? I don't really see Kendall as a EL girl, because I don't think she fits the classy and super luxurious image EL tries to portrait. Joan doesn't either but, I guess I'm the only one who complains about that. I think she could fit brands like Maybelline or L'oreal, but I don't really like her for EL. To be honest, I don't get that angry when she gets campaigns or eds, because I think she's pretty and looks like a model, unlike other celebs who try to be models. But it obviously bothers me to see her getting all those contracts because of her family. However, I think she's great for beauty campaigns. Pretty enough, and popular. That's why I imagine her in ads for drugstore brands. I understand Estée Lauder is trying to attract a younger target, which is fine. But, I can't say I like Kendall for this brand. However, her ads can't be worse than Cara's ads for YSL beauty,...

Last week I talked about the first bunch of confirmed models for the VSFS 2014 (  http://putonachicface.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/who-is-walking-2014-victorias-secret.html ). Today I'll talk about the models that have been confirmed since I did my post. This should be the final list plus one more model. That model could be Erin Heatherton, but it isn't confirmed 100%, so it could be someone else. A friend of mine told me that it would be cool to write my opinion about the angels and the contracted models. I won't do that today, since I want you to know the not so popular models first. But I'll do it soon. La semana pasada os hablé del primer montón de modelos confirmadas para el VSFS 2014 (  http://putonachicface.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/who-is-walking-2014-victorias-secret.html  ). Hoy os voy a hablar de las modelos que han sido confirmadas tras publicar yo la primera entrada. Esta debería ser la lista final, más otra modelo. Parece que esa modelo puede ser Erin H...
