Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 Presentation (Part I)

chanel, missatlaplaya, chanel ss10

Yesterday I attended the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 presentation in Madrid. I always look forward to these presentations because the people at Chanel are very nice, and well, the clothes and amazing! This time I was even eager for that day to come, as the SS 2010 collection was one of my favourites ever. I don't know if it was a strategy of Karl to obtain more profits in the recession or if he just found the perfect theme for a fashion show. Anyway, it was so good.

Oh, and they told me that they might sell the tattoos the model wore at the show! They were henna tattoos, but they are making the patterns to sell them as on-off tattoos. Isn't it great? The designs were so cool. I would definitely wear them (I still have doubts about real tattoos, hahah). It's not confirmed yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Ayer estuve en la Presentación de Chanel Primavera/Verano 2010 en Madrid. Siempre me alegro de que lleguen estas presentaciones porque me encantan, la gente de Chanel es muy atenta, y bueno, la ropa es maravillosa! Esta vez tenía aún más ganas de ver la colección porque ésta última ha sido una las mejores en mucho tiempo, en mi opinión. No sé si ha sido una estrategia de Karl contra la crisis o que simplemente se le ocurrió el tema perfecto para un desfile. De todas maneras, la colección es genial.

Ah, y me han dicho (aún no hay nada seguro) que puede que saquen a la venta los tatuajes que llevaron las modelos en el desfile! Eran tatuajes de henna, pero están pensando en hacer las plantillas para venderlos como tatuajes de los que se van con el tiempo. Los dibujos me encantaron. Éstos sí que me los pondría (aún tengo dudas sobre los tatuajes permanentes)

Barbara Martelo was at the presentation too, but she seemed to be in a hurry and didn't stay much time. However, she said she liked the leather pants (above), so I guess we'll see them a lot in Vogue Spain next season!

Barbara Martelo también estuvo en la presentación, pero parecía que tenía mucha prisa y se fue pronto. Sin embargo, dijo que le gustaban los pantalones de cuero (en la foto de arriba), así que imagino que los veremos mucho en Vogue España la siguiente temporada.


Here you have a pic of Barbara (by stylesightings) with an invite for the Chanel show on her hands.



The Shoes

The clogs... will you wear them this summer? I'm still thinking about it... I bet it will be the trend of the season and magazines won't stop recommending them /// Zuecos... ¿os los pondréis este verano? Yo aún no lo sé la verdad... Apuesto a que será la tendencia del verano y las revistas no pararán de ponerlos.

In this picture you can't really see the shoes, but I wanted to show you the heels... they look like a piece of art /// En la foto apenas se ven los zapatos, porque lo que os quería enseñar eran los tacones... parecen una obra de arte.

Cute, a selection of sweet images

Teddy bears are hugging me!

This is a very cute idea by Sebastián Errázuriz. I wouldn't wear it though, but it is so sweet! Seen here.


Vogue UK December 2009

This cover is one of the most dreamy covers I've seen in a long time. Lara looks like a Disney princess.


Chanel Iman is a fairy.

Chanel Iman looks like she escaped from a fairytale. The dress is so lovely.

Chanel is timeless.


Elena Anaya wearing Chanel proves that it's timeless. I need that jacket now. The neckline is brilliant.

By the way, today I was at the Chanel SS 2010 presentation and I took thousands of photos... the Marie Antoinette at Le Petit Trianon is the best Chanel collection in ages! Don't you think? I'll post the pictures tomorrow.

Just an image I liked from the Urban Outfittes newsletter.

I love this photo. The styling and the haircut is so cute.

I really enjoy the beauty editorials from Vogue Paris, they are always original, but easy to recognize.

Big headphones


A curious trend, don't you think? I like the bright colours.

The perfect bathsuit.

Rochas SS10. I don't know if it is a bathsuit, but it looks good.

Do It Yourself: Blazer with ripped sleeve twist

diy, tutorial

When I saw this genius blazer in The New Guard I knew it had to be mine. For example, by doing it myself. It's super easy.

You'll need:
- A blazer: It's better if you use a silk blazer or a blazer made of a soft fabric.
- Scissors

-------------

Cuando vi este genial blazer en The New Guard supe que tenía que ser mío. De cualquier manera. Por ejemplo, haciéndolo yo misma. Es muy fácil.

Necesitáis:
- Un blazer. Mejor si es de seda o de una tela ligera.
- Tijeras



Steps:
diy, tutorial
1. Don't try it with a very expensive blazer... maybe you'll regret it /// No lo intentéis con un blazer muy caro, no vaya a ser que os arrepintáis.

diy, tutorial
2. Cut a hole like the one on the image, on both sides of the sleeves. Important!: Put on the blazer and mark with a pencil or something where do you want the holes to be. /// Haced un agujero como el del dibujo en ambos lados de las mangas. Importante: Poneos primero el blazer y marcad dónde queréis que queden los agujeros.

diy, tutorial
3.Pass the sleeve through the holes to get that twisted effect. /// Meted la manga por el agujero para que quede ese efecto de retorcido.

diy, tutorial
Voilá!
