Put on a Chic face

I knew very little about Jessica Miller. I knew she was a model, drop dead gorgeous and married to one Metallica guy. That last bit didn't really mean much, since (despite being a metal head) I never really liked Metallica. But what I did know was that I obviously missed her best years in the industry. A couple of weeks ago I saw this cover for the first time ever and I couldn't stop staring at it. And that's when I thought that many of you may not have seen it either, which is a shame. It really is old school. Back when photographers were not afraid of experimenting and when editorials told a story. You may just see a girl jumping around a field, but she's Alice. She's a bunny, she's wild and beautiful, and misterious. Seeing all these images together is so inspiring. It makes me wonder how many gorgeous covers I have missed...

Today is the day when I'm finally writing the post about Bella and Nike. I've been doing some research for the last couple of weeks, because I really wanted to get all the facts right. Bella is a Nike spokesperson/model and is now doing a lot of promotion for them. I tried to get a press release about all of this, to make sure I could give you the best information possible. But there isn't one at the moment. However, I did got some info from Nike, which I'll be adding to this post and I think you'll be interested in some of those things. So keep reading ;) First, I want to show you some photos from Bella's collaboration with Nike on their "Beautiful x Powerful" campaign. These products are already available in stores, and I'll link you to the range and also to the shoe range she's promoting. -Beautiful x Powerful:  http://store.nike.com/ie/en_gb/pw/womens-nike-beautiful-x-powerful-collection/7ptZr48?cp=euns_kw_bra!...

Today we are talking about a perfume. Or maybe I should say we're talking about the campaign. I tried to get info about the perfume in general (scent, reason why they created a new version, ...) but I got no answers back, which is disappointing. So I can just talk about what I see, and that is my lovely Maartje scoring a perfume campaign. Maartje and Valentino are a match made in heaven. She's done multiple campaigns for them and this one really seals the deal. Perfume campaigns are a model's dream, and giving her such exposure shows how much the brand likes her.  I can't wait to smell this new perfume! Ph: Alasdair McLellan Hoy vamos a hablar de un perfume. O quizás debería decir que vamos a hablar de la campaña. Intenté conseguir información sobre el perfume en general (fragancia, razón por la que crearon una nueva versión, ...) pero no he recibido ninguna respuesta, lo cual es decepcionante. Así que solo puedo hablar de lo que veo. Y veo a ...

Welcome to another episode of "Ana has to apologize for not posting two days ago". This time I have a good excuse, though. One of the cats gave birth to five mini kittens on Monday, and I was too busy making sure she was ok (she is) and that all the kittens were doing ok as well (they are).  Besides, I have to blog posts planned, but I need to really work on them like I did with the Dior post from last week, which I hope you enjoyed. So yeah...for different reasons, I couldn't bring myself to doing any writing on Monday. Sorry!! And today, sixth day in a row where I'm melting because of how hot it is, I just wanted to share with you some very simple, yet beautiful and optimistic pictures. The kind that you see and can't help but smile.  Moment of the Month: Making Magic Ph: Cass Bird Bienvenidos a otro episodio de "Ana tiene que pedir perdón por no publicar ninguna entrada hace dos días". Esta vez tengo una buena exc...

Montana is a very underrated model that people find overrated. Funny, I know. But I do believe a beauty like her should be everywhere. This editorial is inspired by the movie "Poor Little Rich Girl" and Montana is channeling Edie Segwick on it. I absolutely adore the mood. Ph: Hannah Scott-Stevenson Montana es una modelo muy infravalorada a la que la gente considera sobrevalorada. Es gracioso, lo se. Pero pienso que una belleza como ella debería estar en todas partes. Este editorial es inspirado por la película "Poor Little Rich Girl", y en el Montana se pone en la piel de Edie Segwick. Adoro el toque retro.

I have been meaning to do this post for a week, but I didn't want to write it in 10 minutes. I knew I wanted to put all the information in the right order, and that takes time. If you follow me on instagram (@ana_bababoom), you may have seen that I have talked about two new products from Dior beauty that I have been playing with lately. One of them is the Pump'n'Volume mascara and the other one is the Lip Tattoo. Spoiler: both are amazing products. Llevo una semana intentando escribir esta entrada, pero es que no quería hacerlo a todo correr. Se que quiero ordenar bien toda la información y eso lleva tiempo. Si me seguís en instagram (@ana_bababoom), es probable que hayáis visto ya que hablé de dos nuevos productos de Dior Beauty con los que he estado jugando últimamente. Uno es la nueva máscara de pestañas Pump'n'Volume y el otro es un Lip Tattoo. Spoiler: los dos son una pasada.      -Pump'n'Volume Mascara: Because of Bella Hadid's ...

I'm not a jeans person, and that makes my life really hard. Though I do appreciate it when other people wear amazing jeans that look incredible on them.  It's because of this jeans phobia that I don't really pay attention to brands that only do jeans, but this one caught my attention by getting Taylor to do a collaboration with them. According to her, this is a very 90's collection and I like the sound of that. Hight-waisted is my favourite kind of trouser, because it is the most flattering and the most comfortable.  I'll leave you a couple of pictures from the campaign, shot by Mario Sorrenti, and also some videos so you can see how everything looks in motion. Ph: Mario Sorrenti No soy una amante de los vaqueros, y eso hace que mi vida sea mucho más complicada. Aunque si que aprecio lo bien que le quedan a la mayoría de personas. Es por esa fobia a los vaqueros que no suelo prestar mucha atención a marcas que se dedican...

A bit of catching up before I talk about the lookbook? Yeah? Let's do it. What a couple of weeks! I'm honestly so tired, it stopped being funny days ago. I've been going to matches (as usual), to weddings, to tv shows, ...crazy times. I was at the taping of the Late Late Show the other day and it was exhausting. Awesome, but exhausting. I can't complain because I was extremely lucky and got to sit on the third row, which means I was super close to where the guests and James were sitting. And also, I got a little unexpected souvenir when Caleb, Kings of Leon's singer, threw his pick to the audience and I got it.  Then I did a lot of running around various tube stations, which was a great workout. Now my entire body hurts but, oh well... And tomorrow, I'm super lucky as well because I'm going to Birmingham for the England-Australia match. CANNOT WAIT! So all of that means that I didn't have time to prepare the blog post that was supposed to ...
