I love love love this editorial in Vogue Brazil of Rihanna by Mariano Vivanco. These images were posted on Ri Ri's instagram and I couldn't wait until they posted it on sites like FGR for me to repost it here. The setting, the colouring, the styling and the star! This is a killer combination or her cool with the energy of Brazil. This story was styled by Yamsin Esterea the fashion editor of Vogue Brazil, and she killed it with the metallics and earthy hues of the outfits. With Brazil being centre stage for the next two years with the upcoming World Cup and Olympics, this shoot is also a reminder of what a fashion power country Brazil is. Hopefully they will post her spread and editorial in English for us to read too but if not then these sizzling images are more than enough!

We left the City of Madrid and rented a car to drive down to a region in Spain called Extremadura. It is a three hour drive from Madrid with the majority of it being along one road (which is good for me as I had to drive back!) My Amigo Jeremias is from a town there called Don Benito, which isn't the main town but cute and pretty none the less. The region is filled with little Cities rich is history, and masses of naturally stunning views. If you look one way there is dry ground with rows and rows of olives trees poking through. Look another way and the mountains on the horizon have snow tipped peaks. We visited a place called Merida which housed numerous Roman ruins, such as tombs, roads and amphitheaters. Medellin which was less than 10km from Don Benito had a very handsome Castle on a hill which had the most breathtaking views. We had some time with Jere's family aswell who were just peaches. One thing that I wish I could do everywhere I visit is to have a home cooked meal with some locals. Jere's family cooked us up a tasty Seafood Paella with Spanish meats and cheese to start! Even though I could not understand everything I loved the vibrant Spanish chatter exchanged at the table. I really need to brush up on my Spanish! Before we first reached Don Benito we also stopped off a quaint town called Trujillo which is a quietly populated town who have kept a lot of the old style buildings and Churches making it a nice place to visit for the locals of neighbouring towns. Apparently they hold music concerts there over the summer which sounds amazing. I truly loved this break. Admittedly when I woke up in London after we got back I was a little sad but had to realize that at least I got to experience such a beautiful place, in the sunshine with some swell people. Jere's parents invited us to visit them in their other house near Barcelona, so maybe I can do this all again but from their. Time to start saving. Enjoy the photos! *LONG PHOTO POST FOLLOWS* This is Trujillo. These kids at the fountain were so cute. Could this be anymore picture perfect? I annoyed the boys in wanting this group photo. We tried to take it somewhere else first but I kept messing up the exposure. Then we got this in one take. It's my favourite! I call it Carroza.Fabello.Martinez Thanks Jeremias for driving us around your local spots! Chris' Thank you. Next is the town of Merida filled with Roman history. If you look closely at the photo below, on the top of the old arch there is a bird building a nest. There were so many of these birds and they were like huge stalks! Unfortunately Jere lost his phone at this spot, we went back to find it but think one of the birds swooped in and stole it! Pretty boys and flowers. I adore food and family! Senor Carroza and Pablo! Antonio & Jeremias & Christopher This Castle is in a town called Medellin. When we walked the edges of the wall it made me think I was in Game of Thrones. Haha. Lost boy. This lake and field is near Don Benito where every summer people camp out and have a little dance party. Imagine having this on your door step. Paradise. I loved this place soooooo much. Here's to more travels with my golden boy, at the golden hour of sunset. :) Spainstagrams 2!
Photos via Suitsmysoul Instagram I follow a page on Instagram called SuitsmySoul which is by pro surfer Bo Stanley and Plus size Model Katie Willcox of Healthy is the new skinny. HNS is something I have been following for a while and is a site that has content centered on body acceptance, which is a big thing for young ladies! This page is cool as the girls (who are not the usual model thin) showcase some awesome accessible swimwear and link to wear you can buy them. Which is refreshing both on the image front and also on the wallet front. They feature suits for all sizes whether you are bigger, smaller or middleler. Summer is upon us soon and I for one am on the search for some awesome new swimwear, I even have a pinboard for swimmies so I can start buying a few over the year. In October I will be living in the things...can you say Mexico!!! Nearly 6 month to go until the wedding...eeeep! :)
Here is part uno of my recent Spanish adventure in photographs. We spent two nights in the city of Madrid, staying in the cool and hip area of Tribunal. As Chris and I didn't know much about the city we played it by ear and kept it chill by walking aimlessly around. We later met our good friend Jeremias who knows the city well and visited the Royal Palace and a nice space called Matadero which is a developed creative space. Food wise we ate a bunch of yum tapas and drank beers in cute little tumblers all at 11pm as it is the norm there to eat dinner late. Near our place we came across a cute cafe called Toma where some guy was taking pictures of us drinking our coffees for some local magazine, so our faces may be circulating somewhere! As we knew we were not staying long we opted for a pricey hop on and off open tour bus ticket just to cover all the city and seeing a glimpse of what all the little neighbourhoods had to offer. Tour buses are something I rarely do on holidays but it is a nice easy way to cover lots of ground. I really thought I was going to go to Barcelona this year after hearing so many good stories from friends so it was a surprise that I ended up in Madrid but I was so happy I did as it has so much going on, and is very modern but still very Spanish. After we left the city we drove further out to a region called Extremadura, and those photos will come soon after! Spainstagrams!
All photos via Saint Heron Sozzles for the lack of posts recently. I have just come back from Madrid and Extremadura which are both stunning places, I will work on my photos to post up soon. I found that leading up to the trip I was super busy with work and other bits and bobs too. So to tie you over here is a stunning collection of photos of Solange by Seji Fujimori. I am adoring this Japanese styling. Long live Solange, she's the Queen of cool to me!
