Put on a Chic face

When I talked about the February covers, I raved about Blanca's cover and told you I'd talk about it this month. Well, here I am doing what I promised. As you can see, there are 2 covers. One is for México and the other one for Latin America. The LA one is ok, but it's nothing new. The Mexican one, however...STUNNING!! Blanca is a very sexy woman, who is often styled as a meditarrean beauty. That's why I like the other cover, and the cover story, because it proves she can be versatile. She fits the more minimalistic look perfectly. Hopefully, this editorial will show designers how she can fit in their shows with no problem. Awesome job! Cuando hablé de las portadas de febrero, alabé la portada de Blanca y os dije que hablaría de ella este mes. Bueno, pues aquí estoy haciendo lo que prometí. Como podéis ver, hay 2 portadas. Una es para México y la otra para Latino América. La de LA está bien, pero no es nada nuevo. La mex...

It's been a while since the last time I showed you one of Ola's eds. I could post every single one she's done, but that'd be boring for you. I need to show you one from time to time, though. I can't help it. She's just too good when it comes to editorials.  This one for Harper's Bazaar is ridiculously beautiful. It obviously feels very wintery and even Christmasy. Ola's beauty is perfect for this theme. Her fair skin, the way fur looks on her, the contrast between the snow and her blue eyes, ...it just makes sense. It's like a grown up/high fashion version of Frozen. It desperates me how underrated Ola is. Her print work is just amazing. Winter Heats Up Ha pasado bastante tiempo desde la última vez que os enseñé un edito de Ola. Podría poner todos los que ha hecho, pero os aburriría. Pero necesito enseñaros alguno de vez en cuando. No lo puedo evitar sabiendo lo buena que es en este sentido. Esta histo...

When Tanya's cover for Glamour came out, my friend Verónica (  http://justkarliekloss.tumblr.com/  ) suggested I could talk about it here. And then I wondered how I was going to do that. Even if I'm talking about one picture, I kind of need a reason to do it. As Marnie from Girls says: sometimes being inside my own head is so exhausting, it makes me want to cry. So, I was thinking about it for a couple of days before I realised I should talk about how bloggers/vloggers are being featured in magazines more and more often. And I'm going to do it by comparing Tanya's cover with Kristina Bazan's covers. Tanya is a youtuber, which means she makes videos. Kris, on the other hand, is a fashion blogger, which means she's more used to having her pictures taken. Also, as a fashion blogger, she's more aware of the fashion trends and she knows how to wear the clothes she has to wear for the photoshoots. I don't mean to be rude but I'm yet to see a beaut...

My gif (Video source: Dior's youtube channel) Today is the day...we're talking about beauty campaigns. Last season's post about this got lots of views and I can see why. I mean, make-up, pretty, ...what's not to like? Today I'll show you 4 beauty campaigns. In the first one you'll see that Chanel finally upgraded Sigrid to star of the campaign. However, I don't really like the ad. She's too pretty to be retouched like that. But the video where Jac shows how to apply the products from this new collection is beautiful. I have that mascara and it's incredible. Try it out. The second campaign is from Calvin Klein's beauty line. I like the quality of the products, and how diverse their cast is. They always do the same, and that's great. We get to see how different colours look on different skin tones, and that's basic because women from all races love make-up. The last two campaigns have the same model on them. Maartje V...

When I show you a models' outfit, it's usually quite hard to recreate, since most of them wear designer clothes. This time, however, I'm going to show you an outfit that's fairly easy to copy. Marloes Horst, one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen, attends events often. She was invited to this Levi's event, because she's part of their new campaign. As most campaign girls, she wore an outfit that belongs to the brand she's representing. That's why it's so easy for you to "get the look".  Not only because Levi's is an affordable brand, but also because this is a denim look. I bet most of you already own some denim pieces similar to the ones Marloes was wearing, Am I right? ;) Let me know if you like it better when I show you outfits that you can easily recreate, or if you prefer to see fancy red carpet looks. Your feedback is really important. Levi's 700 Series collection Cuando os...

Sometimes we see editorials or campaigns with models that don't fit the idea behind those eds or ads at all. And we wonder why they didn't hire someone who does. This time, Vogue Australia hired the right model for their editorial. The whole spread is very dreamy and romantic. Hedvig has that kind of ethereal beauty that makes her perfect for the job. Every picture is, well, dreamy. I can't really find another word to describe it. Really beautiful and kind of autumnal too (don't forget this is an Australian magazine, so it makes sense). Well done, Vogue Australia. Sunshine daydream A veces vemos editoriales o campañas con modelos que no pegan en absoluto con el concepto que hay detrás de esos editos o esas campañas. Y nos preguntamos porque no han contratado a modelos que si pegan. Esta vez, Vogue Australia ha elegido a la modelo perfecta para su editorial. Toda la historia tiene un toque de ensueño y es ...
