Support Movember




SUPPORT MOVEMBER

The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.
Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.

The funds raised through Movember’s UK campaign benefit the The Prostate Cancer Charity (TPCC), the UK’s leading prostate cancer charity.
The money raised as a result of Movember is channelled by our men’s health partner into a number of world class and innovative education, support, research and awareness initiatives.

The success of Movember can be directly attributed to the more than 627,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who have supported our cause since 2003. Movember is sincerely grateful for their efforts and appreciate all they do.
For those of you new to Movember, we challenge you to join us in changing the face of men's health.

Is it better ...



Back in the 1960’s, a small firm in Hong Kong – the Great Wall Plastics Factory – created a dirt-cheap 120 camera called the “Diana.” Crafted entirely of plastic, each camera cost about a dollar. As a mainstream product, the Diana was pretty much a failure – and was discontinued in the 1970’s. But like any superstar cut down in their prime, the Diana’s posthumous appeal skyrocketed. As a cult artistic tool of avant-garde and lo-fi photographers, it was a rousing success! They loved its soft & dreamy images, super-saturated colors, unpredictable blurring, and random contrast. Diana shots are raw & gritty, with a character all their own. They simply cannot be duplicated by any other camera on Earth! In short order, the Diana rose to prominence as one of the most treasured and sought-after cult analog cameras from the late 70’s onward.

We live in a world where old is terribly expensive, to an extent that only a few can afford this kind of treat.
Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and there still people paying exceedingly amounts of money for old school cameras like the Diana, which as you read above "Crafted entirely of plastic, each camera cost about a dollar"

Is it worth it? Does it make sense? Is it cool, or not? Is it a stupid idea?
Why do I have so many questions?

Little Joy




Little Joy




Today on music, more than music. Little Joy is one of those bands that makes you swing from one side to another. Especially "How to hang a Warhol"(my personal favourite).

The songs are sweet and simple, the melodies are joyful and mellow.
This is one of those CD's you'll never regret buying and you won't stop listening to it!

A bit of bio:

Little Joy is a Brazilian/American rock band formed in 2007 by Los Hermanos singer/guitarist Rodrigo Amarante, The Strokes drummerFabrizio Moretti and Binki Shapiro. Amarante and Moretti met in 2006, at a festival in Lisbon where both their bands were performing, and the idea came up to start a new musical project unrelated to their respective bands. In 2007, with Los Hermanos on hiatus "for an undetermined amount of time", Amarante travelled to Los Angeles to collaborate with Devendra Banhart on his Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon album. He and Moretti met during recording breaks and talked about "anything but music." Through mutual acquaintances, they met multi-instrumentalist Binki Shapiro, who encouraged the pair to work on a few songs Moretti had begun writing. The band then moved into a house in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles to write more original music and record some demos. The band was christened "Little Joy" after a cocktail lounge not far from their house. Their eponymous debut album was recorded with the help of producer Noah Georgeson and engineer Beau Raymond, whom Amarante met during his sessions with Devendra Banhart. It was released by Rough Trade Records on November 4, 2008, and was hailed by Pitchfork Media as "one of the sweetest, most listenable, consistently enjoyable records of the season." Their debut album was given four stars by Rolling Stone magazine and Nick Hornby voted it his favourite album of 2008.

Ad Campaign: Louis Vuitton A/W 2010-2011




*click on images to enlarge.

This is one of my all time favourites campaign. Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH)'s brand portfolio is a catalogue of the finest things money can buy. It is the world's premier luxury goods company, controlling more than 50 exclusive brand names including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Moet & Chandon, TAG Heuer and Guerlain. These have been accumulated over the years by LVMH's chairman, Bernard Arnault, earning him the title of France's richest man, as well as arguably the world's most influential arbiter of good taste. One of Arnault's few failures was the two-year battle to add ultra-chic Gucci to his collection. LVMH eventually admitted defeat in 2000, but instead negotiated a handsome payout for its interest. Advertising Age estimated global measured advertising expenditure of $584m in 2007, making LVMH the world's #61 advertiser.

LVMH owns approximately 42 brands:

Louis VuittonDomaine Chandon
SephoraCeline
eLuxury.comJardine Wines & Spirits
Moet & ChandonLa Tribune
Veuve ClicquotVictoire Multimedia
Marc Jacobs Globe Online
TAG HeuerPrada

Now on the latests campaign. The A/W 2010-2011 collection.
Purely inspired in LV's style and with hints of the 50's.
The ambiance is amazing, the hairdos & makeup even more. Loving everything about it.
My personal favourite, the first one ♥
Enjoy!

Update


First: ELLE November issue is OUT! Alexa Chung on the cover. + Clinique gift.
*click on the title to be redirected to ELLE TV "Behind the Cover"

Second: First week of uni is almost over. I can definitely feel the pressure and the work is piling up. Only 8 weeks to go and the first term will be over. Don't expect me to comment positively on that. Although the projects are amazing, there's tons and tons to do.

As part of a project, today I'm off to an exhibition in Tate Britain about Eadweard Muybridge.
I'm not excited but it might as well be good.

On Inspiration: TV Series


(from left to right) Emily B., Robyn B., Kelly C., Andrew M. and Stefanie S.

I want to start apologising so so so much for not posting for over a month. This was never meant to happen but as you all know I like taking time to discover new things, evaluate and generate opinions before talking about them.

Being said that, ELLE''s 25th Anniversary October Issue was breathtaking. I am not a huge fan of Kate Hudson but she looked gorgeous in the photo shoot.
Interesting content but nothing out of the ordinary. November Issue is going to be out soon, couple of days, and I'm utterly excited!

This week has been pretty amazing.

1. I discovered some amazing books which I already ordered from Amazon & I'm still waiting them to arrive. As long as I have feedback on them I will post about it.

2. I came across a TV Series called "Kell on Earth", for those of you that have never seen the City, Kell a.k.a Kelly Cutrone is a fashion publicist and founder of the public relations, branding and marketing firm People's Revolution based in NYC and LA.
I'm addicted to it, and because of that (and also because there's only one season) I finished watching all the episodes (8).
I'm going to be totally honest with you, I really can't explain why, but there's something in that woman that gives me so much energy. Obviously, she's known for her brutal straight-talking, but apart from that, I think I now have an official role model.
I perfectly know that is a Reality show and is all absolutely edited but I just love it, everything about it.

If you like fashion, stress, PR events and want to see what I'm talking about visit this site, where you can watch all the season (except for the first one, which I watched on TV but couldn't find online) If you do find it though, send me a tweet, an email or just comment below so I can update that information in the post ;)

I highly recommend you watching it! It's very interesting and you actually learn a lot.

Running to WHSmith because...



ELLE's September Issue is now OUT!
and Emily Blunt the coverstar!

Can't wait to have it (this was just to break the ice because the blog was inactive for like a month)
And just so you know: I wanted to say how in LOVE I am with an eye shadow from Maybelline NY in the shade: 621 Sparkling Gold.
Some friends asked which green I use, in that case is: 540 Intense Green from Maybelline as well.
I prefer leaving all the make up stuff to my mentor Katrine Dall. She knows all the good stuff.

Lily Allen: ELLE MAGAZINE August 2010





*click to enlarge

Tonight on Lily Allen's new cover photo shoot for the August Issue of ELLE MAGAZINE.
Stunning shots from the British singer who admits 'giving up' her music career to focus on her 'fashion business' and maybe a baby.
I like her music, but the idea of her starting a retail/hiring vintage shop of her own wardrobe alongside her sister doesn't convince me that much. I think she does great behind the mic though, so why not stick to that? Oh, I get it, it seems that nowadays 'celebrities' are more of a package. But anyway, I'm sure she's going to do great with it, she's a very talented woman with a powerful personality and it wouldn't surprise me if she dazzles us again with her projects.

The store (co-owned by her sister Sarah Owen) will be opening "in September in a quiet street behind London's Oxford Circus" and it's called Lucy in Disguise.

Check out her latest CD "It's not me, It's you" released in February 2009 and includes The Fear, 22, Who'd have known & Not Fair amongst others.

Don't miss this month's issue with a free t-shirt by Paul & Joe Sister.
