Put on a Chic face

I've been thinking a lot. Mainly about why I have a blog, and the answer is for fun. However, when fashion week begins, I feel like it is another job that I have to do. And that takes the fun away. So, I have decided that I'll just talk about random fashion week things rather than talking about each show and do general reviews. I want to enjoy blogging, and this is the only way to do that. He estado pensando mucho últimamente. Sobre todo sobre porque tengo un blog, y la respuesta es para divertirme mientras escribo. Sin embargo, cuando llegan las semanas de la moda siento que se convierte en otro trabajo. Y eso hace que la diversión desaparezca. Así que lo que voy a hacer es hablar de cosas de las fashion week que me vayan gustando, sin orden ni criterio. Quiero disfrutar de bloguear y esa es la única manera. Tommy x Gigi Fall Winter 17.18, London One of the highlights of London Fashion Week was the Tommy Hilfiger show, that continues its tour around the worl...

I'm not the biggest fan of fashion collaborations, but this one was meant to be. Gigi represents that American vybe that TH is known for.  This second collection is a bit different from the first, which I personally liked more. However, this one is more Gigi than the previous one and you can see that in the way those clothes look on her. I really look forward to trying on the jumpsuit, though. Gorgeous! No soy muy fan de estas colaboraciones de moda, pero esta tenía que suceder. Gigi representa muy bien ese estilo americano por el que TH es conocido. Esta segunda colección es algo diferente de la primera, que a mi personalmente me gustó más. Sin embargo, esta es mucho más Gigi que la anterior y se nota en lo fácil que es creértela cuando lleva esas prendas.  Tengo ganas de probarme el mono azul. ¡Precioso!

My gif (Video source: Ralph Lauren's yt channel) When I decided to write this post about these 3 American brands, I looked around and thought: I'm probably the less American person in Europe. It's just a funny thought, to be honest. But I'm used to friends and people around me saying how they want to do things the "American way" (whatever that means, lol). But I'm a proud European, which is kind of strange considering my age. I feel alone. That being said, if there's something I envy about America (or the EEUU, really) is how proud they are of being who they are and doing what they do. Even if they're terribly wrong sometimes (aren't we all wrong sometimes?). But let's just focus on the fashion aspect of this thought now. We have Spanish designers presenting their collections in NY, Italians presenting in Paris, British presenting in Paris as well, ...mainly because of money (taxes), though. But the Americans (most of them anywa...

  -Prabal Gurung: Well, it's been a while since the last time I talked about Prabal, hasn't it? And judging by my reaction when I saw all the outfits, the brand has changed a lot in the last couple of seasons. But it's a good change, because I've never liked a Prabal collection as much as I like this one.  It's more mature, but without losing that Prabal touch. I like it. Hace mucho que no hablo de Prabal, ¿no? Y juzgando por mi reacción al ver los distintos pases, la marca ha cambiado mucho en las últimas temporadas. Pero es un buen cambio, porque nunca me había gustado una colección de Prabal tanto como me gusta esta. Es más una colección más madura, pero sin perder ese toque característico de Prabal. Me gusta.   -Carolina Herrera: Last season, I fell in love with CH's collection because it was so dreamy. This time, it was as dreamy or more. I really like it, and it's not just because it's pretty. If you look at the details, the f...

  -Carolina Herrera: This collection is a dream. I'm used to CH's elegance, but this is something else. It is still elegant, but I find it to be a bit younger and girlier. I also think the shapes they used are just ridiculously stunning. I really think this is my favourite Carolina Herrera collection EVER. Big deal. Instead of showing you runway pictures, I'll show you this video where Carolina Herrera talks about the collection. Esta colección es un sueño. Estoy acostumbrada a la elegancia de CH, pero esto es más que eso. Sigue siendo elegante, pero me resulta más juvenil. Creo que las siluetas utilizadas son perfectas. De verdad que pienso que esta es mi colección favorita de Carolina Herrera. De entre todas las que he visto en mi vida, que no son pocas. Casi nada. En vez de enseñaros fotos de pasarela, os voy a enseñar este vídeo donde la propia Carolina Herrera habla de la colección.   -Tommy Hilfiger: Flawless cast at CH, not so flawless at TH. What...

I already talked about Burberry, Escada and Juicy Couture, which are 3 brands that are popular in 3 big countries. Today, I want to talk about two more commercial brands that are really big in the States. Actually, bigger than Juicy Couture. Ya os hablé de Burberry, Escada y Juicy Couture. Estas son 3 marcas tremendamente populares en 3 gran países. Hoy os quiero hablar de otras dos marcas comerciales que son muy populares e importantes en los Estados Unidos. De hecho, son más grandes que Juicy Couture. Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter 15.16: Sanne Vloet by Jimmy Nelson Is Sanne the new Valentina? That's what people asked last season, and that's what we are all wondering again this season. She has that classic beauty Mr Lauren loves so, why not replacing Valentina? This is one of those questions that only time will answer.  Last season's ad was so incredibly beautiful. One of my faves. This season's is slightly worse, but really nice as well. ¿...

Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2015: Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn, George Barnett & George Le Page by Mario Testino This is decent. Still not great, but decent. No Cara, no Suki, ...that makes me happy. We got some black power instead, which is nice. It's always nice to see Naomi showing other Brits how it's done. Good stuff. Esto es decente. No es genial, pero es decente. Nada de Caras, nada de Sukis, ...eso me hace feliz. Tenemos poder negro, y eso está bien. Siempre me gusta ver a Naomi enseñando al resto de británicas como se hacen las cosas. Mola. Ralph Lauren Collection Spring/Summer 2015: Sanne Vloet by Bruce Weber Sanne opened the show, and got the campaign. I'm glad because her beauty is perfect for RL. I did an entire post about her, which you can check out here:  http://putonachicface.blogspot.com.es/2014/12/meet-sanne-vloet-new-face-from.html But, let's talk about the campaign. I ADORE it.
