Miranda Kerr for Harper's Bazaar UK August 2012

I love the editorial published in the latest edition of Harper's Bazaar UK Magazine, August 2012. I made a set inspired on the equestrian look Miranda Kerr is wearing. The items I chose are not exactly the same, but similar (find details below).

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt por sweetandtrendy con antique gold jewelry

Gustav Klimt is one of my favourite painters. He was born on July 14, 1862 and today is the 150 anniversary of his birth. He was an Austrian Symbolist painter, whose distinctive sign was to apply layers of gold leaf to his paintings.

While I was living in Vienna, I had the opportunity to visit the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in the Belvedere Palace, where a lot of paintings of Klimt can be found, and I could see his masterpiece "The Kiss", one of my favourite paintings. I honestly have no words to describe it, I spent a lot of time in front of the painting and kept discovering new details... It's really amazing.

Google has dedicated today a doodle to Gustav Klimt. You can find more information here (in Spanish).

Mahou: Hijas

"Celebra lo que tienes" (Mahou):
Me encanta este spot, por la sencillez con la que se cuenta que a las mujeres no les gusta el fútbol (por supuesto, es una generalidad, a mí me gusta muchísimo y a muchas otras chicas también) y por el guiño que hace al equipo español, que juega mañana la final de la Eurocopa 2012, celebrada en Polonia y Ucrania.

La campaña dura hasta el 6 de julio, y se pueden conseguir premios relacionados con Mahou y con el fútbol. Sólo hay que registrarse en la página celebraloquetienes.mahou.es y escribir en Twitter el hashtag #tenemos seguido de lo que para ti significa "más que un partido o un sentimiento" y cómo lo vivirías. Los que consigan más retweets, serán los ganadores.

El primer premio consiste en una entrada doble para un partido de Liga (temporada 2012-13).
El segundo serán 52 cajas de cerveza Mahou Cinco Estrellas, y el tercer premio 25 cajas.

Blake Lively

I love the gown Blake Lively wore for the World Premiere of Savages (June, 25) at the Mann Village in Westwood, L.A. She looks stunning!!! For those of us who follow her style on the screens (Gossip Girl) but also out of them, we weren't surprised of her amazing choice! Everything looks just perfect: hairstyle, make-up, accessories and gown.

I recommend you to visit the homepage of the movie, directed by Oliver Stone. You can find a lot of information regarding the story, cast, and also pictures and videos. Blake Lively talks about Savages on this brief interview:

For the Premiere of "Savages" in New York, she wore a yellow dress designed for her by Gucci. She chose this colour as an ode to her first meeting with Oliver Stone. According to Blake: " I came in, in a yellow dress and we were talking about who the caracter should be [...] and he said 'She needs to be THIS girl! This bright, hopeful, yellow girl, the sunshine girl".

San Miguel

Me encanta la nueva campaña de San Miguel "Cerveza en un lugar llamado mundo": actual, divertida, joven. Somos jóvenes con un perfil internacional. Los idiomas no son una barrera, sino una oportunidad. Es mi particular visión de lo que somos: ciudadanos del mundo.

"We are citizens of all you can see. You'll find everything you didn't know."

Cada día una nueva aventura... Creo que es la frase del año ¿en cuántos spots ha salido esta frase ya?

PD: San Miguel.... dónde va, triunfa. Visitad su canal de youtube para ver más campañas.

MINI Roadster

Another day, another adventure.

Es el lema de la campaña del última modelo de MINI : MINI Roadster. En la página web podéis encontrar toda la información, ver todos los modelos y su equipamiento, entrar en la "aventura Closed Room" e incluso configurar vuestro propio MINI, y en su página de facebook todas sus novedades.

El director del spot es Peter Berg, que debutó como director con la comedia "Very Bad Things". Filmado en Estambul, entremezcla acción, suspense y humor. Espero que os guste.

Fashion Against Aids

H&M has launched its fifth Fashion Against Aids collection. The aim of this initiative is to raise funds and create awareness about HIV / AIDS among youth. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), "young people aged 13-29 accounted for 39% of all new HIV infections in 2009" (see graphic). Visit CDC's homepage for more information.

I think this kind of initiatives coming from companies are very positive for the society, and that it's very important to raise awareness among young people.

The collection is inspired on the tribal style. Clothes with different tribal patterns and ethnic influences from all over the world are now available at H&M stores. 25% of the sales would go directly to international youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects. Some of my favourite items are:
