15 reasons to love RookieMag, the online teen magazine created by Tavi
2012-02-08 06:35:40
Tavi Gevinson, the world famous blogger who began blogging at the age of 11, launched a digital magazine called RookieMag in September 2011. The aim was creating a website for teenagers, made by teenagers (they also add: "we have semi-qualified adults standing by to answer your – yes, YOUR – questions". I've been visiting RookieMag for a long time, and I decided I had to make a post about it because no one should miss this goldmine. You'll find articles by great collaborators and columnists, useful guides, tips, playlists, original style guides... The language they use is extremely fun and down to earth. RookieMag is like the perfect magazine any teenager would love to read under the covers (with a flashlight), and her parents would read it too when no one were looking.  Thanks to Tavi's fame, and all the people she has gotten to know because all the media and brand's attention she received, she has the privilege of having contributors such as Elle Fanning, Chloë Se...
 
Some ideas for the Gossip Girl writers
2012-02-06 16:51:02
SPOILER WARNING/// I must confess. I still watch Gossip Girl and I'm addicted again, even though the series has gotten worse considerably (since june 2010, maybe you remember this post). The plot is ridiculous and completely surreal, the characters are stuck, Chuck and Blair aren't together for stupid reasons, and the whole story about Blair and Louis is boring to death; but I don't miss any single episode. The series has many ingredients to go back to the quality it used to have, they surprise us with awesome lines, and well, the parties and the clothes are just perfect.  As I wouldn't like to see the series disappear, here you have some plot ideas, in case there is any screenwriter reading this. First of all, if you have characters nobody likes, they should get rid of them fast, as they did with Jenny and Vanessa. Now they should let Louis and Georgina go. They've exploited the Blair and Louis story too much. Blair would never marry such a stupid and dull man, even if...
 
Model to watch: Beatriz Saladich
2012-02-05 11:12:45
Beatriz Saladich has walked for Philip Lim, Yohji Yamamoto, Tory Burch, Jeremy Laing, United Bamboo, Custo, and most runway shows in Madrid Fashion Week and 080 Barcelona Fashion. She's nineteen and has appeared in Harper's Bazaar Spain, Vanidad, and many other magazines. As Two for the Road pointed out, Beatriz is also studying Architecture in Barcelona. She won the L'Oréal Best Model Award yesterday for her work at the spanish fashion week, and I think she truly deserves it, I bet she's going to be great. Alejandra Alonso won the award last year, and she got to star at a Chanel campaign. Hope Beatriz achieves such a great thing too! images: ryankalivrentenosphotography.tumblr, models.com, vogue.it, sarinni,  ...

Interviewing Serge Cajfinder, designer of Paule Ka
2012-01-31 08:43:46
Last week I had the honor of meeting Serge Cajfinder, creator and designer of Paule Ka, one of my favorite labels. His Black Carpet collection was showcased in Madrid, a collection dedicated to the celebrities that wear elegant dresses on the red carpet but want to avoid excess.  Serge was born in France, but spent part of his childhood in Brazil, where their colors captivated him. When he returned to Paris he opened a fashion shop with his mother and his aunt, and they called it Paule Ka. He was seventeen years old! I interviewed him about his inspiration, his work, his muses, the actresses he admires, his career... It was great talking to him, I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed our conversation. Interviewing Serge Cajfinder How was the experience of collaborating with Garance Doré for the making of the campaign? It was fantastic because I like her very much, I like her work and her point of view... It was great because it was one day of shootin...
 
What to wear in winter, by Jessica Alba
2012-01-26 13:03:27
Jessica Alba is one of my favourite it-girls. She's the best at choosing summer outfits (here you have the proof), and she dresses very good in winter too. She has hundreds of scarves! Even though her style is very predictable, she takes risks too (see picture below) PS: Her stylist is Brad Goreski, Rachel Zoe's ex-assistant, thanks Alvaro for the tip! :) That's mixing colours! The result is quite pretty. She's so stylish she goes grocery shopping in Chanel bags :D credits: zimbio, celebutopia, ****yeahjalb.tumblr.com, Celebrity-Gossip.net, celebrity-paradise, Twitter/@jessicaalba, tlfan ...
 
Acne Prefall 2012 - I want every piece!
2012-01-23 10:51:09
This Acne collection is awesome, I want every coat and shirt. The styling is somewhat crazy, but the result is coherent. It reminds me of Man Repeller's outfits (which I love). That plastic bag is amazing! To be safe in case of x-ray attack. ...
 
Disney princes & princesses on the cover of magazines
2012-01-22 09:49:29
Maybe you have seen these already, but I had to post them anyway. They are too good, cute, and cheesy! These had to be on the blog. I love Petite Tiara's work, this idea is so original! Disney characters on the cover of magazines... It's so greatly done and the personality of the characters is perfectly related to the spirit of the magazine chosen. Yasmin is that provocative and rebel girl that reads Cosmopolitan, Cinderella is more subtle, so she's on the cover of Elle, Snowhite is pure, elegant and classic, perfect for Vogue US, and Pocahontas is a Nylon hipster. I love the one with the little Mermaid on Seventeen, and Rapunzel on Teen Vogue. The prince editions are awesome too. Check her Tumblr for a Disney sweet overdose. Check the headlines, they are brilliant: "How to grant your own three wishes and get some", "Who are you calling a beast?", "Everything is hotter under the water!", "Never trust a sea witch!", "Pink vs. Blue, the ongoing battle between the colours", "Pr...

Celebrating fashion for men - The Corner and Hercules
2012-01-16 11:03:45
The Corner and Hercules collaborated for the edition of a very special book containing unseen images from the five years of the magazine. As an ode to mediterranean fashion for men, they've reunited some of their most iconic images. Hamish Bowles, Mariacarla Boscono, Raquel Zimmermann, Ana Beatriz Barros, Danny Beauchamp... They've mixed fresh and young photos with more elegant and serious looks. The result is very refreshing and inspiring. You can get the book at The Corner for just $18.00. And it's a numbered edition! Here you have some of my favourites (yes, that's Nicholas Hoult).  ...
