Lights! Camera! Action! Cannes!

O Festival de Cinema de Cannes não nos traz apenas bons filmes mas também ótima moda.
Este festival de 11 dias acaba de começar, ainda muito está para vir, mas pelo inicio repleto de looks deslumbrantes que está a ter, promete!
Na cidade do sul de França, o ambiente artístico e joie de vivre apela os seus visitantes a arriscarem nas suas escolhas para photo calls e red carpet, ao contrário do que acontece nos Óscares em que muitas vezes preferem jogar pelo seguro. Em Cannes, vale tudo!

The Cannes Film Festival doesn't introduce to us just good movies but also great fashion.
This 11 days festival has just started, there's still much to come, but taking into account the first 2 days filled with stunning looks, it looks quite promising!
In this city located in the South of France, the artistic, joie de vivre ambiance invokes its visitors to take bigger chances when going to photo calls and the red carpet, contrary to what happens on the Oscars when many times they prefer to play it safe. At Cannes, everything goes!

Back to the 18th Century with Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld não pára de surpreender, e a sua ultima coleção de Resort 2013 para a Chanel está a dar que falar.
Em pleno Palácio de Versailles, esta Segunda-feira, dia 14, modelos uma atrás da outra, com bobs que iam do preto ao rosa claro e um minúsculo símbolo da marca na cara como um pequeno sinal,  desfilaram as novas criações de Chanel.
Com vísivel inspiração no século 18, Lagerfeld trouxe-nos uma Marie Antoinette moderna, com as bainhas dos vestidos de gala subidas, creepers e um ligeiro toque rock&roll.

Karl Lagerfeld never seizes to amaze, and his last Resort 2013 collection for Chanel turned heads and is the hot topic in the fashion world.
Set in the Versailles Palace, this Monday the 14th, models one after the other, with a little logo of the label, the double-C as a beauty mark, walked the new creations of Chanel.
With a clear inspiration on the 18th century, Lagerfeld brought us a modern day Marie Antoinette, with ball gowns with very short hemlines, creepers and a slight rock&roll vibe to them.

A look back at Gossip Girl

O fim da Gossip Girl, série que captou as atenções do mundo inteiro e que teve grande influência na moda de rua, já está programado. Depois de 5 temporadas, Gossip Girl vai ter uma 6ª e ultima temporada de 11 episódios.
Eu tenho que dizer que, na minha opinião, é a altura ideal para lhe dar um fim, tendo em conta que a série já viu melhores dias. Apesar de a continuar a seguir atentamente, a verdade é que já não é tão envolvente e cativante como nas primeiras temporadas, em que ficava ansiosamente à espera que a próxima semana chegasse para saber o que ia acontecer no próximo episódio.
A personagem da Serena é a mais aborrecida de sempre neste momento, a Blair apesar de continuar a ser a minha preferida já não é o que era e o mesmo acontece com o Chuck, o Nate continua a ser a cara bonita do programa, mas sem acrescentar muito à história.
Resta saber com quem irá acabar Blair (o meu voto vai para o Chuck, claro). Será que a Serena finalmente vai descobrir o que quer fazer da vida e conseguirá ela reconquistar o Dan no final?

Neste sentido, e sendo eu uma atenta seguidora desta série há tantos anos, decidi fazer uma retrospectiva da evolução de estilo das personagens principais ao longo destas 5 temporadas.


The end of Gossip Girl, a show that grabbed the attention of people all around the world and that had a huge influence on street fashion, is already set. After 5 seasons, Gossip Girl will have a sixth and final season of only 11 episodes.
I have to say that, in my opinion, it's the perfect time to end it, taking into account that the show has seen better days. Although Î continue to watch it attentively, the truth is that it's not as captivating as it was on the first seasons, when I anxiously waited for the following week to come to see what would happen in the next episode.
Serena's character is more boring than ever now, Blair in still my favourite but she's not the same, and the same with Chuck, and Nate, well he's the beautiful face on the show but still doesn't add much to the story.
Now we just have to wait and see who will end up with Blair (my vote is on Chuck, of course). Will Serena finally find out what she wants to do in life and will she be able to win Dan back?

Because of this, and being a follower of this show for all these years, I decided to take a look back at the main characters style evolution throughout these 5 seasons.

Tavi . Fashion Muse

http://nstylemag.com/tavi-musa-da-moda/

The whole world must have already heard about Tavi Gevinson, one of the most influential people in the fashion world and, also, one of the youngest ever blogger and trendsetter.
A girl with only 15 years old that seems to have come from a different era, with an aesthetic clearly influenced by passed decades like the 60's, and who pushes the boundaries of fashion, shaping them to her own tastes.
Tavi learned to question herself about the world, to create her own universe based on her ideas, tastes and experiences, much like many children and teenagers do, but she went further by sharing that universe with whoever wanted to see, and the result was thousands of followers.
When she was 11 she started a blog that turned out to be a fashion manual for many. With just 13 she was invited to the New York Fashion Week and, nowadays, four years later teens and grown ups from all over the world follow her blog the stylerookie.com and her online magazine rookiemag.com attentively. And, the list of fashion people wanting to work with her is immense.
Her last collaboration, with Wren, resulted on an ethereal and dreamy video, wih a 60's inspiration and something that takes us to the movie "The Virgin Suicides", both loved by the young blogger. In the video, Tavi shows up singing the music "Beware of Young Girls" by Dory Previn while she appears with different pieces of the brand from the fall 2012 collection. A perfect combination.
What more is there to come from this young fashion muse?
