La fiebre del oro!

Dear readers,

For those of you who don't speak Spanish, the title of this blog post means: gold fever! After seeing this editorial featured in the August edition of the Spanish Harper's Bazaar, I am pretty sure you know why. Here we go!

The model featured in this editorial is Tunesian model Hanaa Ben Abdesslem. She is photographed by photographer Txema Yeste and styled by Juan Cebrian.

Don't you agree they did a really great job with this editorial? I love the power portrayed in every single shot and of course...the accessories :) This time it is really hard for me to choose the best picture (in my opinion), but I would have to go with the picture in which Hanaa is wearing the cap with chains! What is your favourite shot?

Love, Melissa

Keeping it surreal!

Dear readers,

I came across the following editorial in Vogue and I found it kind of creepy yet intriguing. I thought you guys would like it! Funny thing is that I didn't even know the model is Dutch, I just found out while preparing this post. Cool, huh?! Her name is Laura Kaapman and with only 17 years old, she has already made it on the cover of Vogue, how amazing is that?! For sure we are gonna hear her name A LOT these coming years!

Lets take a look at the ''Keeping it surreal" cover and editorial shot by the famous Steven Meisel!

What do you think of this spread? Weird, right?! ;) I think the title covers it all!

Love, Melissa

Rise & Shine

Dear readers,

I-D Mag wanted to honor the Chinese Year of the Dragon by creating 12 stunning covers for their magazine, each one representing one month of the year. 5 of these 12 covers will be chosen to actually make it as a cover in the stores. The covers, shot by Chen Man, are simply beau-ti-ful! Proving that I am not exaggerating, here the covers for you to see!

I didn't say too much, right? ;) I love the fact that the pictures are so artistic, cultural, traditional and ethnic! Do you agree with me? Which cover is your favourite? I love them all, but my favourites are the one with Xin Yuan and Zhang Li Na!

Love, Melissa

Mirror mirror on the wall!

Dear readers,

Is any of you familiar with the British photographer Tim Walker? If not, what a pity! He makes some of the most entertaining and gorgeous photos! It's actually kind of fairytale-like. For this reason, he is one of Vogue's, Harpers Bazaar and W's favourites! Wanna see some shots? Ok, here we go!



I don't think I have said too much, right?

Love, Melissa
