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!
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!
Outfit overview time! Today's offering is what I call The 50s Jock's International Girlfriend! Hair pulled back, fringe nice and brushed then secured tightly with a nice floppy bow made me fee like I was back in 2004 when I was a pink lady in my school musical of Grease. This was cemented by wearing my Fiance's old Carhartt Varsity Jacket that shrunk in the wash so was handed down to me, and my short ankle grazing slacks. The international girlfriend part is served by my favourite trousers of the moment that I copped at the Zara winter sale, they have this awesome print that would fit easily in a throwback The Bamboo District photo shoot. I also opted for some print clashing with my Cold shoulder plaid shirt that I posted up a while back of how to make your own. The coat is my same old coat I wear all the time as it is COLD out there. I am looking forward to my future summer Outfit overviews, ugh, can't wait. Here are some key pieces below if you wanna get the look! 1. Cold Shoulder Plaid Shirt-Boohoo, 2. Hair Bow-Claire's Accessories, 3. Print Slacks- Zara, 4. Baseball Varsity Jacket-Burton
Hopefully I will be the Mother of some cute quarter Mexican kiddos someday, and it would be nice for them to feel at home in all the places where their linage lies. So when I was dream holiday searching on Air BnB I came across their Mexico City Neighbourhood guide, where it outlines all the different sectors and what you can find in each place. If you haven't looked at this part of their site before you must as it is really useful is choosing where you may want to stay when visiting a new City. I looked at what the creative, Arts centered areas were and found this place called Roma Norte, and it just looks brilliant! I asked my friend who lives in DF if it is as cool as it looks, and she said yes. :) Hopefully in the years to come I can live in many different places, especially in Mexico at some point so I can teach my kids to feel at home as at one point I would have too, and I think I would want to live here! This guide really provides a nice light in contrast to the usual common media Mexico City has for being rough and dodgy, and will hopefully encourage more Europeans to visit and explore such an amazing place. Air BnB team up with local photographers to showcase an area and these photos that will follow are by Alicia Vera and Javier Sirvent. This looks like a cool place to eat! Rave Rave Rave! Cute little boutiques. Cool hip stores. Fresh produce from the Markets. Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeet ART!
By Ruven Afanador via Honestly WTF I'm not reserved in my postings of Fashion Editorials set in Peru, but this time this offering is slightly different to the norm. What is showcased so nicely here is the contrast between setting a clothing. It is nice to see some outfit's styled totally independent of Peru's well known craft and tapestry industry, but still showcasing vibrant colours in modern feminine styles. The green crop top with matching skirt and the 50s cut purple floral dress would be dream additions to my Mexican honeymoon collection!
Love has taken over, and it is all due to the photo above. Those two fine cats are my parents Mr & Mrs Fab. I have talked about their cool style when they were younger before but what I love the most about this picture is the joys and the smiles that they have. The way my Dad is looking at Mum is priceless, and my Ma seems to be having a whale of a time in his arms. As I approach my own wedding day I pray that my relationship is filled with joy and love, and knowing that everyday will not be like that I hope to remember the important things and not get caught up in the daily grind that can cause lows in relationships. Knowing my parents, it wasn't all smooth sailing and even now 37 years it's not perfect, but the love is prevails, and that is what keeps it all going. Cherish the sweet moments, as you can see from above and below the moment causes such a warmth. "What the world needs now, is love sweet love". Visit my Pinboard "Mahal Kita" for more love!
So there I was, in line for a small presentation at the recent London Fashion week. The designer showing was Mimi Fasi at the Freemanson's Hall in Covent Garden. My friend kindly invited me as she had a spare ticket, and I was super excited to see her that the show was just an extra bonus. It was a rare dry and sunny day when I went to the show, a day sandwiched between days and days of rain, so I was happy to see the yellow glow of the sun out. I nabbed my sunnies, opted for no socks with my pumps but kept everything else winter appropriate. Not doing it purposefully but I ended up looking like a stereotypical film/art critic (which was pointed out to me on twitter when I uploaded a pic on there). As you can see I am wearing another polo/turtle neck like in a previous post but this time in a baggier red version. This actual shirt is my Dad's but said I could have it! (whoop). My round tortoiseshell sunglasses were an old pair from H&M which were something along the price of a fiver which is a score when you keep them for years. I think they make the look really "critic'ish". My beige cigarette pants are from H&M too and to be honest I think they are supposed to be 3/4 length trousers for tall girls but they just fit my short legs perfectly, (double whoop!). The bag is from BHS which was free as my sister works at the head office and brings home samples (triple score!!). My green coat is my go to smart casual coat that I wear all the time though I think my bum sticks out too much in it, my one is from Uni Qlo.
I have found some items online to make the look below! Photos via Style.com Dries Van Noten has done it again! The Antwerpen designer continues to stun me with his use of pattern and print, sown in to elegant clean shapes for the chic modern woman. The colour palette of orange and yellows to cool blues and greens, peppered with fuchsias provide a pop and femininity which is stopped from being sickly sweet when layered in their carefree way. Different floral shapes are paired in contrasting prints but still play nicely. I bloody love Dries, and I don't think I will ever stop.
