Put on a Chic face

Well, guess who didn't even post a schedule for this season's HC? I really am a mess right now. I've got a cold, a baby kitten who is hurt, I was almost killed by a ball at the cricket on Saturday, ...fashion doesn't seem like a priority. But, abandoning the blog won't make me feel any better. So excuse the messy posts during these next few days. I'll try to get some post-HC posts ready, so I don't struggle as much next week!! Adivinad quien no puso ni un calendario de Alta Costura para esta semana...Ahora mismo no se ni donde estoy. Tengo catarro, un bebe gatuno lesionado, casi me matan de un pelotazo en el cricket el sábado, ...la moda no parece ser una prioridad. Pero abandonar el blog tampoco va a hacer que me sienta mejor. Así que disculpadme, pero las entradas de estos próximos días no serán nada maravilloso. Intentaré preparar alguna para después de la Alta Costura, y así tener la semana que viene más tranquila.   -Schiaparelli: ...

Only two days of shows and we already have a lot to talk about. Ready for a long post? It's been a while since the last one. Solo dos días de desfiles y ya tenemos mucho de lo que hablar. ¿Listos para una entrada larga? Hace tiempo que no hago una.   -Alberta Ferretti: This show wasn't on the schedule I published because it's actually a "demicouture" collection. Still gorgeous, though. Great casting too (except for Sampaio, who is way too short for HC). The dresses were all really beautiful, and other pieces (like the coats) felt very luxurious. It was a great addition to this HC "week". Este desfile no estaba en el calendario que publiqué porque en realidad es una colección de "demicouture". Aún así es preciosa. Y con un gran casting (excepto por Sampaio, que es demasiado baja para la Alta Costura). Los vestidos son preciosos, y el resto de piezas (como los abrigos) tienen un toque de lujo muy obvio. Gran inc...

Sacai FW 16.17 (Video source: Elle's yt channel) Now that the shows are over, it's time to talk about favourites. Today, I'm showing you my favourite beauty looks from PFW. On Saturday, I'll show you the best (or the most interesting) streetstyle looks. And I will wrap fashion month up with my top 5 shows from each city on Monday. After that, I'll start talking about campaigns and many other things again. Stay tuned for it ;) Ahora que los desfiles han terminado, toca hablar de favoritos. Hoy os enseñaré mis looks de belleza favoritos de la PFW. El sábado os enseñaré los mejores (o los más interesantes) looks de calle. Y acabaré el mes de semanas de la moda con mi top 5 de cada ciudad el lunes. Después de eso volveré a hablar de campañas y muchas otras cosas. Estad atentos ;) MAKE-UP :   -Anthony Vaccarello: For the first big show of the week, they created two different looks: a very natural one and a devilish one. It definetely is an...

First of all, I apologise for not writing a post yesterday. But I just wasn't in the mood. I hope you understand. Primero de todo, pido perdón por no haber escrito una entrada ayer. Pero de verdad que no estaba de humor. Espero que lo entendáis.   -Givenchy: As promised on Sunday, I'm talking about the Givenchy collection now. The collection is supossed to have an Egyptian inspiration, but I honestly fail to see it. This brand feels very unispired to me, and it has for a while. Quite disappointing. Como prometí el domingo, voy a hablar de la colección de Givenchy ahora. Se supone que tiene una inspiración egipcia, pero yo no consigo verla bien. Esta marca está falta de inspiración, y lo ha estado durante un tiempo. Bastante decepcionante.   -Stella McCartney: Speaking of unispired...even the cast is. Now the good models walk for Sacai. That says quite a lot about a brand, actually. Hablando de cosas sin inspiración...ni el casting t...

  -Atelier Versace: I honestly think Donatella should let someone else design for the brand. Vaccarello is doing a great job at Versus, and he could do a great job at Versace. Or someone else. Anyone but Donatella. I don't want to be mean, but it's clear that she has run out of ideas. And really, all these designs have an awful cheap and tacky vybe, and that annoys me. I guess that's why she felt the need to hire all these big names for the show...so people won't pay attention to the clothes. I mean, even I got a little distracted. It's nice to see Julia, Behati, Natasha, Rosie, etc...on the runway. Plus some of my younger faves. However, when you have all these models with strong walks, you can't pick Gigi to close the show and lead the finale. For heaven's sake! She was walking in front of Natasha! Also, was it really neccesary to give such a revealing outfit to Roos, who's 16? Really? A bit too low. And it's not the first time thi...

Dior S/S 2016 backstage (Video source: Dior's yt channel) Time to talk about the last bunch of looks that I thought you may like. Some are really special, because PFW is more artistic than other FWs. Some are more wearable, some are not wearable at all. It's up to you to see which one you like best. And of course, you can change them a little bit to make them more natural. Up to you, really. Let me know your favourite. Toca hablar del último montón de looks que pensé que os podría interesar. Algunos son muy especiales, porque la PFW es más artística que el resto. Algunos son super ponibles y otros no tanto. Vosotros decidís cual os gusta más. Y, por supuesto, podéis hacer cambios para que sean más naturales. Lo dejo en vuestras manos eso. Contadme cual es vuestro favorito. HAIR & MAKE-UP :   -Alexander McQueen: I already told you I liked the collection. What I didn't tell you (I think) is that I also love the beauty look. The models looke...
