Put on a Chic face

My gif (Video source: Associated Press) For someone who doesn't really care about the movies, the amfAR Gala is the last big event of the Cannes festival.  Many models attend and also celebrities who join every single party. And we get so many red carpet looks, that they can't all be good.  I just wanted to briefly tell you a few of my favourites and a few of my least favourites. It's a very personal opinion and you can disagree with it. But here it goes: Para alguien que se interesa poco por las películas, la Gala del amfAR es el último gran evento del festival de Cannes. Muchas modelos forman parte de el, y muchas celebrities de esas que no se pierden una. Y nos ofrecen tantos looks de alfombra roja que es imposible que todos sean buenos. Solo quería mostraros un par de mis favoritos y otro par que no me gustó mucho. Es algo muy personal y con lo que podéis no estar de acuerdo. Allá vamos: Best looks :  Willow Hand, wearing Oday Shakar...

Technology and I have never been great mates, which makes me want to spend the day crossing my fingers. I'm hoping this goes up when I told it too, but it may go up in 2047. Who knows? But today, I'm going to be away from phone and computer and won't be able to do the classic "press publish" thing. Yet I didn't want to leave you without a post again. And I really liked this dress that Martha wore, so let's talk about it. I believe it is YSL, which makes me think it has to be vintage because what YSL does nowadays is far from looking like this gorgeous dress does. Or it may be a custom piece but...again, I'm going for vintage. La tecnología y yo nunca nos hemos llevado bien, lo cual me hace pensar en pasarme el día cruzando los dedos. Espero que esta entrada se publique cuando puse que se publicase, pero a lo mejor se publica en 2047. A saber... El caso es que hoy voy a estar alejada de teléfonos y ordenadores, por lo que n...

Irina is back! And of course, the drama is back as well. Because, you know, she's not allowed to be hot. Basically. As someone who comes from Spain, I've heard it all when it comes to Irina. Dating a football superstar makes you a very easy target and Spaniards do love their gossip. But then again, don't we all? Most of the time, I had to hear the annoying "well, I didn't really know her before she started dating Ronaldo, but...", and it drove me insane. You didn't know her, cool, but then stop talking about her career as if you knew about it. My patience runs out very easily when people talk about things they know nothing about in front of me. But anyways, it's not as bad as it was listening to journalists debating for hours about how it was Irina's fault that her ex wasn't scoring any goals. It can't get worst than that. Now she's with Bradley and they had a baby. Congratulations!....or not, because why congratulating...

If you have been following my blog for a couple of years, you'll know that I used to be obsessed with Vanessa. She could do no wrong, but I guess she did. Her decisions, or her agency's, led her to disappear a bit from the fashion world, despite being the model of the moment. And, she still works for major brands but...it's not the same. Seeing her in Cannes was a huge surprise, and I think she looked amazing. Obviously, it was Jean Paul Gaultier who took her to the festival with him. And I'm also assuming that her outfit was made for the occasion. It was very different from what we usually see on this red carpet, and I appreciated that effort. Wearing custom Jean Paul Gaultier Si hace tiempo que seguís mi blog, sabréis que solía estar obsesionada con Vanessa. Para mi lo hacía todo bien, aunque supongo que no todo lo hizo tan bien. Sus decisiones, o las de su agencia, la llevaron a desaparecer bastante del mundo de la moda, pese a ser l...

Second post about Cannes. And let me tell you one thing...I'm struggling. I don't seem to like anything celebs wear, so I don't really know who I should write about. Dramatic! Thankfully, I saw this look before going to bed last night and I knew I was going to feature it on this Cannes series. The model who wore this Paco Rabanne outfit is Liya Kebede, Lorealista and all-round beauty. This kind of outfit is the one that I want to wear to an event. There is something about this metallic fabrics that just makes me go crazy. Wearing Paco Rabanne Fall 2017 Runway: Segunda entrada sobre Cannes. Y dejadme que os diga que me está costando, porque no me gusta nada lo que se están poniendo las famosas, así que no se de quien hablar. ¡Dramático! Por suerte vi este look anoche antes de irme a dormir, y pude soñar tranquila y sin preocuparme sobre lo que escribiría hoy. La modelo en cuestión que lleva este traje de Paco Rabanne es Liya Kebede, Lor...

Time for Cannes! As usual, I didn't even realized the festival had started until I saw all the pictures on social media. I'm not big on cinema. That's why I focus on the dresses the stars wear on the premieres, because I'm much better at judging that. Though, I am quite judgy when it comes to rating actors from tv shows. So, as you know, I love hearing myself talk...or, in this case, I love reading my own words. And that means I usually love writing long posts where I talk about life in general. And today, you'll be able to read my story about Elle Fanning. A year ago, I went to Westminster Abbey for the Gucci Cruise show, and Elle attended the event as well. Since I'm not a massive movie person, it took me a second to recognize her when she was standing right in front of me. And let me tell you, I was impressed in the best way possible. She was super nice to everyone, and I was able to see how tall and beautiful she is in person.  She'...

We usually talk about how important social media is nowadays for a model. Just a few can make it to the very top without millions of followers and models are aware of that. As sad as it is, since talent should be the main skill a model needs to do her job, it is a reality. And that is why some models try to become more known, either on instagram or on youtube. Karlie Kloss' channel is obviously the most popular, but other models have one too. And that's what I wanted to you about today. Mariana has walked for brands such as Prada or Dior, and on her last video she shows us some backstage action from the Chanel Cruise show. She also speaks Spanish, which is kind of new when it comes to models as well. If you want me to find more models with youtube channels, let me know! Solemos hablar de la importancia de las redes sociales en el día a día de las modelos. Solo unas pocas pueden llegar a lo más alto sin tener muchos seguidores, y las modelos son conscientes de eso. ...

Julia is one of my favourite models for many reasons. One of those being her perfect face, which is perfect for beauty ads. The lovely people for Armani notices as well, and booked her for this gorgeous beauty campaign. Everytime I go to Selfridges and see the ad, I just feel like buying everything on the stand...it is that good. And now they also play videos with her on a massive screen. They know how to sell their products. Ph: Karim Sadli Julia es una de mis modelos favoritas por muchas razones. Una de ellas es esa cara perfecta que tiene, la cual es perfecta para campañas de belleza. La gente adorable que trabaja en Armani también se dio cuenta y la contrataron para esta preciosa campaña de belleza. Cada vez que voy a Selfridges y veo el anuncio me dan ganas de comprar todo lo que tienen en el stand...es así de buena. Y ahora también ponen su vídeo en una pantalla gigante. Saben como vender sus productos.

I kind of love how I always go back to the same models...I'm that loyal. And you already know that I've been Romee's fan since the beginning of her career. While I adore her as a VS angel and a spokesmodel, my favourite kind of Romee is high fashion Romee. She started her career by walking for Burberry and Prada for a reason.  When it comes to this cover, I love the way her eyes are telling us a story. It's hypnotizing. The editorial, however, was a bit disappointing. Despite loving it, I feel like many of the photos are too similar pose wise, and that puts me off slightly. Still gorgeous, though.  Me encanta como siempre vuelvo a hablar de las mismas modelos...soy así de leal. Y ya sabéis que he sido fan de Romee desde el principio de su carrera.  Pese a adorar su trabajo como ángel de VS y representante de la marca, mi Romee favorita es la Romee high fashion. Empezó su carrera desfilando para Burberry y Prada por algo...

Gif's source: Vogue.com Remember when I was so obsessed with Prada that I basically planned my day around the show? I do, but on Sunday I completely forgot about it. Shame on me! I did like the collection but, once again, what really caught my eye was the beauty look. Mainly because of how simple it is, but at the same time it is a statement look. And absolutely perfect for summer, with a very fresh face and the bold matte lip. I know I'm copying this look on Sunday...I've got a match ;) The hair is quite special too. If you look at the braids closely, you'll notice that they're not done (if I'm not wrong) the classic way, but changing the direction of the braid. Actually, I do that when I'm only doing two braids or a side braid, and I like the effect a lot. There are some hair accessories too, that remind us to previous collections. But I'm not too crazy about them. ¿Recordáis esa época en que estaba tan obsesionada con Prada que pl...

It's not a secret that Greece and its history fascinates me. But their influence in fashion and beauty are something I love as well. I always say that I want my wedding dress to be inspired by Grecian fashion, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this collection. But I won't be talking about the clothes today. No, what I want to do is show you the beauty look, which is beyond beautiful. The make-up is very simple, yet strong because of the eyeliner. And the hair...braids and hair accessories. Do I really need to add more? A great summer look. No es un secreto que Grecia y su historia me fascinan. Pero su influencia en la moda y la belleza también son dos cosas que adoro. Siempre digo que quiero que mi vestido de novia tenga inspiración griega, así que podéis imaginar mi emoción al ver esta colección. Pero no voy a hablar de la ropa hoy. No, lo que quiero es enseñaros el look de belleza, que es pura perfección. El maquillaje es simple a...
