Gotta love awesomeness

Do you like feel good, jazzy, pop tunes,old ladies with cat eye sunglasses and synchronized swimming? Yup, you'll probably like the first video!It's my latest obsession:  mexican singer Ximena Sariñana.
The second one is from swedish, properly titled band Axis of Awesome and oh well, it pretty uch explains itself.

Flavia's smile

   I may have bought this issue of Elle Spain just for the grin of the model on the cover. Thinking about it, I really couldn't care less for the rest of the editorial!... It's the kind of smile that exercises all the muscles in your face and turns your eyes into two lashy slits, oh sweet braceless smile! (sigh) someday...

Here I leave you another happy editorial to delight you further, it's from Elle Italia. In case I didn't mention it, the name of the model is Flavia de Oliveira and she's from Brazil.

   Nine D'urso (Ines de la Fressange's daughter!) in Bottega Veneta's ad for it's first perfume, directed by Bruce Weber. I simply loved the whole thing: the girl,the make up, the dress, the direction, even the boring nostalgil music!



   And since we were talking about Ines de la Fressange (No we weren't): This videos were taken during Cannes film festival, and apparently it's a tradition for the embassadors of the brand to flaunt themselves during said festival, get beautiful, attend some premiers... that kind of really hard stuff brand embassadors have to do.

And family attending Royal Wedding at Monaco (I'm telling you!she's got a reaaaally tough life)  apparently wearing non-Roger Vivier shoes is a no no chez Ines!

Not just another Audrey Hepburn inspired editorial!

   Au contraire of what many of you may think, I do not post EVERY Audrey Hepburnish editorial I come across (although my blog speaks quite the contrary!). It's very rare to find one that truuuuly captures the spirit because nowadays it seems you put a pretty brunette a little black dress and voilà! the new Audrey!
  I firmly dislike copycats, but I do like editorials that include sunny beaches, pretty smiling girls and puppies(!) so there you go! Gorgeous Lily Collins (daughter of Phil Collins) by Roger Erdmann on Tatler magazine...

 

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2011, the look.

So, as much as I adore watching the whole sparkles-all-over-with-very-black-eyeshadow-for-a-more-zombie-like-look  editorial looks, I firmly believe in wearing what makes you look and feel pretty. Which in my case is the I-spent-3-hours-on-the-bathroom-applying-makeup-so-I-look-like-I-wear-no-makeup-at-all kind of look. 
That may be the reason I am simply in love with the look at Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2011 show, because it looks natural but not as if you just washed your face with water and soap and then just run off the door. And it's definitely something everyone can pull off, every model looked gorgeous. Just take a look for yourselves:

In allure.com they made a report on how to achieve this look, so here it comes.
In case you are a lazy kind of person here, These are my impressions:
-Flawless complexion.
-Metallic/matte medium brown eyeshadow lining upper and lower lashes and crease, and a light gold-dustey one on the brow bone and inner corner of the eye.
-Eyeliner only on top.
-Slightly defined eyebrows.
-Extreme lashes with several coats of mascara and a strip of falsies on the outer corner. This last one is optional, though the eyelashes are really important for achieving the allure of this look.
-Caramel blush on the apple of the cheeks, slightly blended outwards.
-The lipstick is very difficult to type. On some pictures it looks natural pink but on others it looks like an expensive cherry chapstick or something.

And the accesories for the show were just as gorgeous. I specially fell in love with the sunglasses and the earrings (I'm really into big earring lately):

Note: I just missed Glee but I figured out that if  hadn't made this post right now, I probably would have probably made it... never.
