Time Travelling Beauty

 Constance Jablonski by Hans Feurer for Vogue Japan Beauty, July 2012

Hi everyone! Let's start the day with something pretty, shall we?

As you know I'm crazy about anything 80's. Anything slightly reminiscent of my mom's fashion magazines and of her own style, of course, so I completely fell in love with this Vogue Japan beauty editorial. It picked up that soft colonial adventurous feel that I find so characteristic of the 80's. A mix of Meryl Streep in "Out of Africa" (1985) and Kathleen Turner in "Romancing the Stone" (1984). It really doesn't get much better than this for me.

Hoe about you? Do you like this kind of editorial? Let me know!

 Olá! Vamos começar o dia com uma coisa bonita, está bem?

Como sabem sou louca por tudo 80's. Tudo o que seja minimamente reminiscente das revistas de moda da minha mãe e do seu próprio estilo, claro. Por isso, não é surpresa que me tenha apaixonado completamente por este esditorial da Vogue Japan Beauty, que captou na perfeição, aquela vibe colonial e aventureira, tão caracteristica desses tempos. Um mistura entre a Meryl Streep no "África Minha" (1985) e a Kathleen Turner em "Tudo Por Uma Esmeralda" (1984).  Para mim, não há muito que consiga superar isto.

E vocês, gostam deste tipo de editorial? Quero saber a vossa opinião!

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!

The Iron Lady

Margaret Thatcher revisited as Georgia May Jagger plays the Iron Lady for a Harper's Bazaar editorial, in which she was photographed by Terry Richardson in the ever classic and well-tailored style of "Maggie". This is one of the best things I have seen in a long time! But I'm sure that has something to do with my undying love for Thatcher. Britain's former Prime-Minister is one of my heroes. I absolutely love and admire her! Not only was she a great politician but also a symbol of women's power. She was a woman and she always stayed true to that. She was always confident enough not to have the need to transform herself into a man, proving one can be feminine, smart and powerful all at once! I wish women all over the world would learn that lesson! Once and for all!

Uh and I can't wait to see Meryl Streep as Margaret in "The Iron Lady"! Meryl is pretty badass herself!

Margaret Thatcher revisitada num editorial da Harper's Bazaar em que Georgia May Jagger, fotograda por Terry Richardson, representa a Dama de Ferro no seu sempre clássico estilo. Este editorial é uma das melhores coisas que tenho visto. Aposto que este facto está relacionado com o meu amor eterno por Thatcher. A ex-Primeira-Ministra britânica é uma das minhas heroínas. Tenho uma enorme admiração e adoração por ela. Ela não era apenas uma óptima política, mas também um símbolo do poder das mulheres. Ela era uma mulher e foi sempre fiel a esse facto. Foi sempre confiante o suficiente para nunca se querer transformar num homem, provando que se pode ser feminina, inteligente e poderosa, tudo ao mesmo tempo. Só queria que todas as mulheres por esse mundo fora aprendessem esta lição! De uma vez por todas!

Uh e estou louca para ver a Mery Streep no filme "The Iron Lady". Ela também é muito badass!
