Vintage Dreamland - Prada Spring/Summer 2012 Campaign

Once my sister asked me who my favorite designer was. Without even thinking, the words Miuccia Prada came out of my mouth, and from that day, it was settled, she is my favorite designer. I've talked about what her designs mean to me here on the blog, but I shall share that again. Miuccia puts my dreams and my fantasies on the runway and sends me back to my dream land. Every single time! This American 50's inspired collection is no different. Actually, this is one of my favorites ever. And so is the campaign. I guess it must have something to do with my dream of doing a road trip through the US in a muscle car, stopping for gas in the hot desert...Maybe 2012 is the year! And maybe, just maybe, I'll look as great as these gals! 

The Prada SS2012 campaign was shot by Steven Meisel and features models Meghan Collison, Elise Crombez, Katryn Kruger, Natasha Poly, Ymre Stiekema and Guinevere Van Seenus, the current face of Miu Miu.

Uma vez a minha irmã perguntou-me quem era o meu designer preferido. Sem pensar, as palavras Miuccia Prada saíram-me da boca, e a partir desse dia ficou decidido, ela é a minha designer preferida. Já disse aqui no blog o que é que o dedign dela signifca para mim, mas vou partilhar de novo. A Miuccia põe todos os meus desejos e fantasias na passarela e transporta-me de novo para o meu mundo imaginário. E fá-lo sempre! Esta colecção inspirada no estilo americano dos anos 50 não foi diferente. Na verdade, esta é uma das minha colecções preferidas de sempre. Assim como a campanha. Acho que deve estar relacionado com o facto de um dos meus sonhos ser fazer uma road trip pelos EUA, num daqueles muscle cars americanos e ir parando no deserto quente para atestar... Talvez 2012 seja o ano! E talvez, com um bocadinho de sorte, eu vá estar tão gira como estas miúdas!

A campanha de P/V 2012 da Prada foi fotografada por Steven Meisel e conta com a participação das modelos Meghan Collison, Elise Crombez, Katryn Kruger, Natasha Poly, Ymre Stiekema e Guinevere Van Seenus, a actual cara da Miu Miu.

Kate Beckinsale Flaunts It

Kate Beckinsale covers Harper's Bazaar Russia January 2012

Kate Beckinsale covers Flaunt #118

Love! Love! Love! Such a beautiful woman and such great covers! The classic 1960's beauty of HB and that sublime expression on Flaunt... Perfection! She's working it like a super model! If I were a big fashion brand I'd be calling Kate like RIGHT NOW! 

Adoro! Adoro! Adoro! A Kate é linda e as capas são maravilhosas! A beleza clássica dos anos 60 na HB e a expressão sublime na Flaunt...Perfeição!  Está mesmo ao nível de qualquer topmodel. Se eu fosse uma marca de moda qualquer estaria a ligar à Kate tipo...AGORA!

Aliens in Pretty Shoes - Mariacarla Boscono for YSL Spring/Summer 2012

Mariacarla Boscono for  Yves Saint Laurent's S/S 2012 Campaign Ad

YSL has chosen Mariacarla as the brand's S/S 2012  face. The model was shot by David Sims and is sporting an alien like look with very thin drawn brows over her own erased brows. I wish this whole "no brow" look would go away forever but I guess it works in high fashion. The photos look pretty amazing though! Although I get the feeling of a fall/winter ad and not a spring ad. What's going on this year? Some sort of fashion revolution against summer? Or am I completely overreacting?

 And those shoes...Those shoes have been killing me since I first saw the on the runway! It's so heartbreaking knowing I can never have them...

A YSL escolheu a Mariacarla como a sua modelo para a P/V de 2012. A modelo foi fotografada por David Sims e apresenta-se com um look alienesco com sombrancelhas muito finas e desenhadas acima das suas próprias sombrancelhas apagadas. Gostava muito que este look sem sombrancelhas desaparecesse para sempre, mas parece que funciona no mundo da moda. De qualquer modo, as fotos estão fantásticas! Apesar de me parecer mais uma campanha de Inverno do que Verão. O que é que se passa este ano? Alguma espécie de revolução da moda contra o Verão? Ou sou eu que estou a exagerar? 

E aqueles sapatos... Aqueles sapatos andam a matar-me lentamente, desde que os vi na passarela! Parte-me o coração saber que nunca os vou poder ter...

A Bit Of Magic - Nicholas Kirkwood Christmas Card

Nicholas Kirkwood Christmas Card

Gorgeous! He should really work on making these shoes wearable. How amazing would they be?

Lindos! Ele devia mesmo dedicar-se a tornar estes sapatos calcáveis. Ia ser tão fantástico! 

Resident Obsession

Milla Jovovich as Alice in "Resident Evil: Afterlife"(2010)

Milla Jovovich as Alice in "Resident Evil" (2002)

In the last month I've watched "Resident Evil : Afterlife" twice. I have this thing with zombies... Don't judge! However my favorite thing in the movie has nothing to do with flesh-eating beings. I'm completely obsessed with the jacket Milla Jovovich is wearing in the movie (first picture) . It's so cool, so relaxed and so warm. After all, she was supposedly wearing it in Alasca... But this isn't the first time I've obsessed over Milla Jovovich's outfits. Back in 2002 when the first "Resident Evil" was released I became slightly obsessed with her boots. Black leather knee-high boots that just kicked ass. I looked all over and I finally found ones that looked just like hers. They were expensive but they lasted until I was in my 3rd year of college, so about 6 years. And I wore them a lot. They were my badass boots and I must say I feel less of a badass without them. 

Do you have an item or outfit that makes you feel like you can take on the world?

No último mês, vi o "Resident Evil : Afterlife" duas vezes. Tenho uma certa queda por zombies...Não vale gozar! No entanto, a minha coisa preferida no filme não tem nada a ver com comer pessoas. Eu estou é completamente obcecada com o casaco que a Milla usa no filme. É tão cool, tão casual e deve ser tão quentinho! Afinal, ela está no Alasca...supostamente. Mas já não é a primeira vez que fico obcecada com os looks da Milla. Em 2002, quando saiu o primeiro "Resident Evil", fiquei "um bocadinho" obcecada com as botas dela. Botas pretas de cabedal até ao joelho que simplesmente arrasavam. Procurei por todo o lado e acabei por encontrar umas muito parecidas com as dela. Foram um pouco caras, mas compensou porque as usei até para aí o meu terceiro ano da faculdade, ou seja, duraram 6 anos. E eu usei-as bastante. Eram as minhas botas de mazona, e confesso que me sinto um bocadinho menos mazona sem elas.
E vocês têm alguma peça ou conjunto que vos faça sentir poderosos e capazes de enfrentar o mundo todo?

Xmas Gifts For The Ones I Love

 Topshop

Today I meant to go Christmas shopping but it was so warm inside and so cold outside...I did manage to look for some inspiration and I found this amazing head band for my sister and these earmuffs for my mom. My sister is definitely the trendsetter in her preteen clique so this would be perfect. My mom on the other hand has a more romantic, lady like taste, which is why these crochet earmuffs would be a great gift. She's also very cold, so it's cute and practical.

Tomorrow I'll try to ignore this dreadful Irish weather and do some serious Christmas shopping! How about you? Are you done with your shopping? Do you like getting gifts for others? I love it! I just wish I wouldn't stress so much over the fact that it might not be the perfect gift!

Also, are you more frugal this year, since the crisis is really hitting or do you go crazy? I'm trying to get more useful gifts and buy less things, but all the pretty things keep calling me...

Hoje era para ter ido fazer as minha compras de Natal, mas estava tão quentinho cá dentro e tão frio lá fora... No entanto, andei pela net a inspirar-me e encontrei esta bandolete fantástica para a minha irmã e estas "orelhinhas" para a minha mãe. A minha irmã é sem dúvida, a trendsetter no seu grupinho de amigas pré-adolescente, por isso isto seria perfeito. A minha mãe tem um estilo mais romântico e lady like, o que faz com estas "orelhinhas" sejam um presente fantástico. Ela também é super friorenta, por isso não só é fofo como é prático.

Amanhã vou tentar ignorar este medonho tempo irlandês e fazer umas comprinhas! E vocês já fizeram as vossas compras? Gostam de oferecer presentes aos outros? Eu adoro! Só gostava ser menos stressada e preocupar-me menos em oferecer a prenda perfeita!

Ah e estão mais poupadinhos este ano com a crise ou vão enlouquecer na hora de comprar? Eu vou tentar oferecer menos coisas e coisas mais úteis, mas as coisas bonitas continuam a chamar tanto por mim...

Dark Surfers - Gisele for Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012

Gisele Bündchen is the new face of Givenchy for S/S 2012. The model was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott under a dark beach sky, proving that summer doesn't have to be all sunny and colorful. It kinda reminds of the beach in the movie Twilight, don't you think (disclaimer: I watched the first movie and I liked it, but I'm not a crazy Twilight fan, that passes out when she sees Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner without a shirt ok? So chill!)? It's hard to think of this as a summer campaign but it's so stunning no one really cares. I don't really like to think of  things as being intentional, specially in fashion, but maybe this really was meant to push the boundaries of what we think makes a season. 

Gisele Bündchen é a nova cara da Givenchy para a próxima P/V 2012. A modelo foi fotografada   na praia por Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, sob um céu escuro e nublado,  mostrando que o Verão pode ser muito mais que apenas solarengo e colorido. Lembra-me um bocadinho a praia do Twilight, não acham (disclaimer: vi o primeiro filme da saga e gostei, mas não sou nenhuma fã louca que desmaia quando vê o Robert Pattinson ou o Taylor Lautner sem camisola, por isso, relaxem ok?) ? É difícil pensar nestas, como uma campanha de Verão, mas a campanha é tão fnatástica que acho que ninguém quer saber da estação que promove. Não gosto de pensar que há sempre uma intenção por trás das coisas, especialmente no mundo da moda, mas talvez esta campanha queira mesmo obrigar-nos a repensar aquilo que faz uma estação.

Carola Remer for Vogue Deutschland January 2012

Lily Cole for Vogue Russia January 2012

Karlie Kloss for Numéro #129 Dec 2011/ Jan 2012

Candice Swanepoel for Harper's Bazaar España January 2012

Karlie Kloss for Vogue Italia December 2011

Here are a few magazine covers I'm loving these days! Even though they'r all amazing I'm loving Vogue Deutschland (Germany) the most. All that color and that pink...Maybe I can get at the airport next Friday at a decent price. Speaking of which...I asked my boyfriend's best friend, who was flying from California to Dublin to get me the January issues of  American Elle and American Vogue. He got home with the December issue of Elle and the December issue of Vogue Italia...I wasn't too upset though...It's the most controversial issue of recent Vogue Italia and an Elle, so it's pretty good. He did ok for a guy! Thanks! :)

Taking a closer look at Vogue Italia featuring Karlie Kloss I got a better appreciation for the cover and for Karlie herself. She truly is a beautiful girl and a great model.  I wish people would stop judging her and Vogue Italia!

Aqui estão algumas revistas que estou a adorar neste últimos tempos. Apesar, de todas serem fantásticas, a Vogue Deutschland (Alemanha) é a minha preferida. Toda aquela cor e aquele rosa... Talvez consiga comprá-la a um preço decente no aeroporto na próxima 6ªf. Falando nisso... Pedi ao melhor amigo do meu namorado, que vinha da California para Dublin, para me trazer a Elle e Vogue americanas de Janeiro. Ele chegou a casa com a Elle de Dezembro e a Vogue Italia...Não fiquei muito aborrecida. Afinal é a Elle e o número mais controverso da Vogue Italia dos últimos tempos, por isso, ele até não esteve mal! Até se saiu bem, para homem... Por isso, obrigada! :)

Tendo olhado melhor para a Vogue Italia, ganhei uma nova apreciação pela capa e pela própria Karlie. Ele é mesmo gira e uma óptima modelo. Era bonito que as pessoas parassem de a julgar a ela e à Vogue Italia!

Sweet Spring - Louis Vuitton Spring /Summer 2012 campaign

Kati Nescher and Daria Strokous for Louis Vuitton S/S 2012 by Steven Meisel

I just saw the new Louis Vuitton S/S 2012 campaign and I'm in love! The pastel colors, the set, the child/ladylike attitude of the models...So sweet and bubble gum cute! Can we fast forward to Summer already?
(I was wary of those mules first, but they are really growing on me! Ok, I confess, I'm crazy over them!)

Acabei de ver a nova campanha Louis Vuitton P/V 2012 e estou caídinha! As cores pastel, o cenário, a atitude de menina/senhora bem comportada das modelos... Tão fofo e tão docinho! Já podemos carregar no fast forward e ir directo para o Verão?
(De início torci o nariz às mules, mas já começo a gostar mais! Ok,pronto, eu admito, estou louca por elas!)

Naomi Watts for Harper's Bazaar Australia January 2012

Naomi Watts in Prada for Harper's Bazaar Australia January 2012

Ah beautiful Summer covers... How not to crave for the sun and desert beaches with a cover like this?
The turquoise blue lettering and that amazing jewelery just make wanna pack my bikini and go somewhere far far away...

Ah estas capas de Verão maravilhosas... Como não começar a cobiçar o sol e praias paradísiacas? As letras azul turquesa e estas jóias lindas só me dão vontade de fazer as malas e ir para algum sítio exótico lá longe...

Gisele and Ryan for Versace Spring/Summer 2012

The amazing Gisele and the slightly less amazing Ryan Barrett are the stars of the new Versace S/S 2012 campaign shot my Mert Allas and Marcus Piggott in Borrego Springs, California.
Gisele looks phenomenal as usual, proving she's worth every penny of her supermodel paycheck. This woman is the bomb! Ryan, however, is kinda dead. I hate to be all ANTM's judge on him, but we kinda lost his face, which is a shame, when you got a face like that!

A fantástica Gisele e o ligeiramente menos fantástico Ryan Barrett são as estrelas da campanha de P/V 2012 da Versace, fotografada por Mert Allas e marcus Piggott em Borrego Springs, California.
A Gisele está fenomenal como sempre, mostrando que vale todos os cêntimos que cobra. Esta mulher é mesmo a melhor! O Ryan, por outro lado, está um bocadinho morto. Não queria nada de fazer de júri do ANTM, mas perdemos a cara do moço, o que é muito triste, quando se tem uma cara daquelas!

Portuguese Do It Better - Vogue Portugal January 2012

Aymeline Valade wearing Emilio Pucci photographed by Giampaolo Sgura and styled by Anna Dello Russo for Vogue Portugal January 2012

Starting the day with some Portuguese pride!

Another great Vogue Portugal cover! I think we really are up there with the big dogs!

(Does it still count if the model's French and the stylist and photographer are Italian? Well it's Vogue PORTUGAL, so...yes it does!)

And Mommy dearest is gonna have it there waiting for me when I get home for Xmas!:)

Vamos começar o dia com um bocadinho de orgulho nacional!

Mais uma fantástica capa da Vogue Portugal! Acho que estamos mesmo lá no topo com os melhores!

(Também conta se a modelo for francesa e o fotógrafo e a estilista forem italianos? Bom, lá diz Vogue PORTUGAL, por isso...sim conta!)

E nã é qye a minha querida mãezinha vai tê-la lá à minha espera quando chegar a casa para o Natal?:)

Olivia & The Dog

These pictures of Olivia Palermo have been all over the blogs and I couldn't help myself but share them with you! It's been a while since I've seen such a beautiful, classy, but still different outfit! And the dog just adds to the cuteness!
I've never posted anything Olivia related but I love her style and from the interviews I read with her, I believe she's a very cool and smart girl. She might have been a bit of a bitch in "The City", but who wouldn't next to good girl Whitney Port? I must admit that one of the reasons that I'm so drawn to her is because she looks a lot like my mom when she was younger... Oddly enough I look a lot like my mom, but nothing like Olivia! Oh well...

And that must be a very well trained dog, cause if I walked my dog/posed for a photo with my dog in those heels, while carrying a clutch, I'd surely break a leg!

Estas fotos da Olivia Palermo invadiram a blogosfera e eu não consegui resistir a partilhá-las convosco! Há muito tempo que não via um conjunto tão bonito, tão clássico e com classe, e tão diferente ao mesmo tempo. E o cão? Tão fofo!
Nunca postei nada relacionado com a Olivia, mas adoro o estilo dela e pelas entrevistas que leio com ela, ela parece-me ser bastante simpática e inteligente. Ela pode ter passado uma imagem de cabra no "The City", mas também quem não passaria ao lado da boazinha Whitney Port? Tenho de admitir que o que me faz gostar tanto da Olivia é o facto de ela se parecer imenso com a minha mãe quando era mais nova. E por mais estranho que pareça, eu sou muito parecida com a minha mãe, mas não sou nada parecida com a Olivia...

E o cãozinho deve ser muito bem treinado, porque se eu fosse passear a minha cadela/posar para uma foto com a minha cadela com aqueles saltos e aquela clutch, era perna partida na certa!

Hello Kitty Covers Elle Taiwan December 2011

Who did Elle Taiwan decide to put on its December cover? The one and only, the white and bubbly Hello Kitty! And when a style icon graces your cover, you don't just have one cover, you have two!

I'm pretty sure Kitty fans are going crazy right now, trying to figure out a way to getting their hands on this collector's item. Wanna bet we'll see a lot of them on e-bay?

I'm not a crazy Hello Kitty fan, but I think Elle did a great job with the covers. I love the polka dots lettering on the second cover, but I think the pink one is more appealing (I'm having a huge pink moment!)! How about you? Do you like them? Do you think it was a bold but right move on Elle Taiwan's behalf or are fashion magazines taking it too far these days? I think it was a fun idea and I wouldn't mind seeing more of our favorite cartoons on magazine covers!

Quem é que a Elle Taiwan decidiu pôr na sua capa de Dezembro? A única, a branquinha e fofinha, Hello Kitty! E quando se tem um ícone de estilo desta dimensão na capa, não se faz uma, mas sim duas capas!

Tenho a certeza que as fãs da Kitty estou loucas neste momento, a tentar descobrir uma maneira de pôr as mãozinhas numa destas peças de colecção. Querem apostar que o e-bay vai estar cheio de Elles Taiwan?

Eu não sou uma fã incondicional da Hello Kitty, mas acho que a Elle fez um óptimo trabalho com ambas as capas. Adoro as letras às bolinhas da segunda capa, apesar de estar mais inclinada para a rosa ( a pessoa aqui tá a ter um momento muito rosa!). E vocês o que acham das capas? Gostam? Acham que foi uma arriscada, mas certeira aposta por parte da Elle? Ou será que a revistas de moda estão a ir longe demais? Eu cá acho que foi uma ideia divertida e não me importava nada de ver mais dos nossos desenhos animados preferidos nas capas.

Raf Simons For Dior?

WWD announced today that Raf Simons will be the new creative director for Dior. Raf Simons is the current creative director for Jil Sander and has his own menswear collections Raf Simons and Raf by Raf Simons. If he is indeed to accept the job previously held by Galliano, he should be leaving Jil Sander. Although this has yet to be confirmed by Dior, the fashion world is accepting the word of WWD as true.

I must admit that I was expecting someone more out there, but I'm curious to see what the Belgian minimalist can bring to the table. I'm huge fan of his work for Jil Sander and I'm sure he's up for the challenge!

What do you think of Raf for Dior? Would you rather have someone else in the job? Who? I confess that when they "announced" it'd be Marc Jacobs, I thought it made sense, but I'm not too picky! As long as there's talent!

O WWD anunciou hoje que será Raf Simons o novo director criativo da Dior. Raf Simons é o actual director criativo da Jil Sander e tem as suas próprias colecções de menswear Raf Simons e Raf by Raf Simons. Se se confirmar que Raf aceitou a posição previamente ocupada por Galliano, este deverá deixar a Jil Sander. Apesar desta notícia não ter sido ainda confirmada pela Dior, o mundo da moda tende a acreditar na palavra do WWD.

Tenho de admitir que esperava alguém mais excêntrico, mas estou curiosa para ver o que este minimalista belga tem para oferecer. Sou uma grande fã do trabalho dele para a Jil Sander e tenho a certeza que ele está pronto para o desafio.

E vocês, o que têm a dizer sobre a notícia? Preferiam outro designer? Quem seria o vosso designer de eleição para a Dior? Confesso que quando "anunciaram" que seria o Marc Jacobs, achei que a coisa combinava, mas não sou esquisita. Desde que haja talento!

Devo um pedido de desculpa aos leitores portugueses, por não ter escrito em português nos últimos posts, mas estou tão imersa na língua inglesa, que nem reparei... Apesar de muitos/quase todos saberem inglês, não é justo para quem não é tão fluente. As minhas desculpas!

Meryl Streep Covers US Vogue January 2012

Meryl Streep is on the cover of the January 2012 issue of US Vogue for the first time. I figured such a talent and beauty would have graced the magazine's cover before, but no, it's indeed Meryl's first US Vogue cover. At 62, Meryl also breaks the record of being the oldest person in a US Vogue cover. How gorgeous is she at 62? And such a brilliant actress. She's definitely my favorite actress in the world. I'm so looking forward to seeing "The Iron Lady"!

Meryl was, obviously, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and even though it's not a breathtaking cover, I quite enjoy the American simplicity of it. Of course this historical issue must be in my collection and hopefully I'll have it here soon. My boyfriend's best friend is in California and I already asked him to bring me Vogue and Elle. Let's hope he doesn't forget! I'm really curious to read both issues.

So what do you think about this cover? Let me know!

Have a Fur-Free Christmas

Peta was in Oxford Street, London, asking for a fur-free Christmas!

I've joined the cause! Will you?

Bright Winter Days

Diana Agron for Nylon - January 2012

Kirsten Dunst for Lucky - January 2012

Colorful and energetic covers to brighten those grey winter days!

1 of 5 a Day

Mulberry

I don't know about you, but I'm having such a Carmen Miranda moment! I'm craving fruit everywhere. In my closet, in my kitchen...Everywhere! Even my crib/nativity scene is an apple. Seriously! It's baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph inside the half of an apple. How cute is that? (If my camera works I'll post a picture of it.)

I used to think that fresh fruit was a Summer thing, but now I believe you can be fruity all year long. And to prove my theory I bring you the Mulberry Googly fruit jumpers in angora. They must be so warm and cozy! (And I'm so warm deprived! Coming to live in Ireland with a Portuguese wardrobe was such a mistake...) But despite the coziness and obvious cuteness, my boyfriend was wondering how a jumper could cost €370 (here), so I explained it was Mulberry. He still doesn't get it! Men...

Unleashed

This year Bergdorf Goodman's holiday video is promoting animal adoption in a very cute and touching way! I was very excited that the department store endorsed this cause, since is the one closest to my heart!

I'd like to remind all of you that there are animals in the streets, pounds and shelters that need your love. There's no need to spend enormous amounts of money on a pet, when there are millions of animals out there that are willing to give you everything for food, shelter and of course, lots of love!

If you can't adopt a pet, there are many ways to help. Shelters are usually in need of food, medicine, toys and blankets. Every bit helps!

Too Twisted

Vogue Italia has apparently succumbed to pressure by removing this picture of Karlie Kloss from their website vogue.it . The model covers the December issue of the magazine, that also includes and editorial with the model photographed by Steven Meisel. The editorial named "Body by Kloss" shows the very skinny model (aren't they all?) in hardly any clothes showing off her barely there body.

Honestly I think it was a mistake. This photo, apart from disturbing, is a great fashion photo and say what you want, but that pose isn't impossible. I'm 95kg and I can do it! Well, almost. But the point is, that is not impossible for a body without fat. Now, how that body is without fat, I cannot tell. Is she naturally skinny? Does she suffer from an eating disorder? Is she a skinny person that works out a lot? I don't know! But it's unfair to judge a model and a photo because some girls got jealous!

That's not my ideal body by far, but it's her body and we are to judge? We should be more shocked by her performance at the Victoria's Secret's show! What was all that? Oh well, the guys seemed to have liked it. Yesterday, one of my boyfriends' friends was commenting on how that show was the best thing he's ever seen. I thought he was absolutely insane, but instead of saying anything I just kept my mouth shut, hoping they would forget this 95kg fat girl was there and that I'm actually dating one of their friends...

So what are your thoughts on this? Was Vogue Italia right taking out that photo from the website? Is that photo really that bad? And how about Karlie Kloss's talent as a model?

And this one's for the girls: Do you ever feel embarrassed for your boyfriend being with you? I mean, that he is dating you and not some hot girl? I get that sometimes...Please, don't tell me I'm alone on this one!

The Other Gaga

Turns out there were two Elle UK covers with Gaga! I guess if you have Gaga in your magazine for the first time, you better make it special. When I saw them I prayed for a cover/back cover kind of thing, but no, there were two of them. And God, I hate choosing! Even though I really loved the other one, I ended up buying this one. Up close it has much more visual impact and the boyfriend, who paid for it (How could I not be completely crazy about a man who buys me fashion mags without judgement?), also liked this one better, so...

Think I made the right decision? Which one do you like best?

Lusting Over...

these covers...

Raquel Zimmerman for Vogue Italia, November 2011 (I know it's old news, but I love it and I haven't had a chance to post it)

Kate Moss as David Bowie for Vogue Paris, December 2011

Sophie Vlaming for Vogue Portugal, December 2011 (Portuguese Pride!!! Our Vogue is definitely improving!)

Monica Bellucci as Cruella De Vil and cute dalmatian puppy for Tatler Russia, December 2011

Arizona Musa for Vogue Russia, December 2011

Lady Gaga for Elle UK, January 2012 (This one is gonna have a home in my magazine pile!)

What do you think of these covers? I wanna hear from you!;)

Step Aside Gisele...

...the Disney princesses are here!

It was about time someone gave these girls a magazine cover! Thank you Petite Tiaras for giving them a chance!
What's your favorite cover? I'm feeling Harper's Bazaar, Seventeen and Snow White's angles on Vogue! And how about those story titles? So cute!

(I'm sorry the image is so small, but the blogger wasn't accepting a bigger image. Just click on the picture to take a better look at it.)

Marni at H&M

Ah, there's nothing like good news in the morning to cheer you up! Today fashionistas around the world are going crazy after the announcement of Marni's collaboration with H&M. A collaboration I wasn't expecting but that I welcome all the same. Marni is definitely one of my favorite brands. I just love the prints and shapes... I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with brand founder and creative director Consuelo Castiglioni since this design genius started her career as a fur designer...But let's forget that unfortunate moment (after all everyone makes mistakes) and focus on the brands newest adventure.

The collection, which includes a line for women and men, is all we expect of Marni, colorful and playful, mixing lot's of tribal and geometric prints, with a ever chic essence. I'm glad to see that menswear line is somewhat masculine and will appeal to a broader audience that the Versace collection, for instance. I'd love to see my boyfriend in that blue and grey striped sweater. I also got my eye on the blue and white jacket in the first picture and in some of the necklaces that are shown in the video. The shoes are also looking very tempting, but I'm afraid that the quality might not be the best...

As always I wanna know your opinion. Are you excited about this collaboration?

Marni at H&M will be available from March 8 2012 in 260 stores and online and I wanna be in line to get my Marni fix!
