Back to the 90's . Goth Lips

It seems like the 90's are back, at least when it comes to make-up. The wine coloured lips, so popular in that decade are invading the runway, red carpets and even the streets all over the world.

The Goth hues are making way on the midst of bright pink, coral and even nude lips, all this Spring trends.

We can put the "blame" of this comeback on the well known make-up artist Pat McGrath, who painted the models' lips on these tones for the Spring 2012 Balenciaga runway show. Later, on the Fall shows this colour was present once again and, recently, it has been the colour chosen by many stars for the red carpet.

Contrary to the 90's, now goth lips are combined with a clean natural skin with just a little of mascara, much like the femme fatale of a film noir.

Style Crush . Eleonora Carisi

Já vai algum tempo desde que vos apresentei uma das minhas "Style Crush", por isso este Domingo é dedicado a mais uma das minhas inspirações de estilo, desta vez uma italiana, Eleonora Carisi.
Eleonora é um dos alvos preferidos de vários fotógrafos de streetstyle, é dona de um blog encantador, o  Jou Jou Villeroy e de uma loja em Turim, a You!, colabora com a Grazia.it e a revista Vice, além de ter projectos com marcas como a Diesel e as Galeries Lafayette.
Cria outfits que se destacam pela sua originalidade, combinando cores e texturas de uma forma extraordinária. Diz que se inspira bastante na moda italiana dos anos 50, e nos filmes com Marcello Mastroianni e Sophia Loren, o que é evidente em muitos dos seus looks.

It's been a while since I introduced to you one of my "Style Crush", so this Sunday is dedicated to another one of my style inspirations, this time an Italian, Eleonora Carisi.
Eleonora is one of the favourite targets of many streetstyle photographers, she's the owner of a fabulous blog, Jou Jou Villeroy and a store in Turin called You!, she collaborates with Grazia.it and Vice magazine, besides working in projects with brands like Diesel and Galeries Lafayette.
She creates outfits that stand out by their originality, mixing colours and textures in an extraordinary way. One of her biggest inspirations right now, according to her, is the Italian fashion of the 50's and Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren's movies, which is pretty noticeable in many of her looks.

Prada at Cannes

A moda está presente em Cannes e não só nos vestidos e fatos deslumbrantes que as celebridades vestem pelo Sul de França, mas também em filme.
A Prada surpreendeu ao apresentar uma curta metragem de apenas 3 minutos e meio realizada pelo aclamado realizador Roman Polanski e protagonizado por Helena Bonham Carter e Ben Kingsley.
A curta está intitulada como "A Therapy" e é divertida e original e leva-nos de uma forma bastante interessante à mensagem final.

Fashion is present at Cannes and not only on the stunning dresses and suits from the stars at the South of France, but also on film.
Prada surprised  everyone by presenting a short film of only 3minutes and a half directed by the controversial and acclaimed director Roman Polanski and starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley.
The short film is called "A Therapy" and it's fun and quirky and leads us in a very entertaining way to the final message.

DIY . Chain Camera Strap

Normalmente não sou muito de DIY's, adoro ver, mas depois a preguiça apodera-se de mim e acabo por não fazer.
Mas ao ver este DIY no blog" a pair and a spare ", tenho que dizer que fiquei cheia de vontade de ir já comprar uma corrente, cola e tudo o que é preciso para começar a fazer a minha nova corrente para a máquina fotográfica.
O efeito é quase como se estivesse a levar uma carteira ao ombro, e o melhor é que é super simples de fazer.
Eu vou experimentar e vocês?

Usually I'm not much of a DIY girl, I mean, I love to see them, but then my laziness gets the best of me and I never really do them.
But seeing this DIY on " a pair and a spare " blog, I have to say I'm anxious to go buy a chain, glue and whatever I need to start making my new chain camera strap.
The result is almost as if you're carrying a purse on your shoulder, and the best is that it's super easy to do.
I'm going to try it out, what about you?

Lau




You need (precisam):
- 2 m of strong but lightweight bronze chain (you don't want to double the weight of your camera!)
- 2 sliplock buckles (I used the ones that came on my nikon strap)
- 50cm of strong nylon webbing
- E6000 glue
- Scissors

1. Cut the nylon webbing in half.

 2. Slide one end of the nylon webbing through the camera strap holder on the camera.

3. On the outer lower half of the nylon webbing, thread one of the sliplock buckles

4. Fold the chain in half and slide the two loose ends onto the nylon webbing. 

5. Double the nylon webbing over and pass back through the sliplock buckle.

6. Thread the other loose end through the sliplock buckle and reinforce both ends with E6000 glue

7. Press down to dry and feel free to reinforce the glue with some hand stitches through the webbing. Finally, repeat this process for the other end of the strap.
