Favorite models: Amanda Hendrick

Hey girls!

I know, I am the most inconsistent blogger out there, but oh well... I've been pretty busy with life and work, but now It's time for one of my (ir)regular posts.

Well, today I bring you some photos of one of my favorite models: Amanda Hendrick.
Amanda is 21 and is from Scotland. I first "discovered" her because she is dating- and has been for a few years now- Oliver Sykes, the vocalist from Bring the Horizon, which I reaallly like.
I think she is super stunning, a great model and I love her personal style. She has everything to be just another cookie-cutter model, but she wisely pairs her girly look with a more rocker chick one, which gives her an edge.

Mind the Gap

2010 became the year that having a gap between your two front teeth - or a diastema, which is the proper term- became in vogue, literally.
I personally love a modest gap between the front teeth and seeing these photos almost makes me wish I had one. Ahah. I remember when I was in elementary school, I had a friend that wore braces to correct her gap. I always thought she look super cute with it.

I love it that the fashion industry is embracing these sort of things that make people look unique and not like everybody else. Strangely, the fashion industry is demanding an imperfect, quirky kind of beauty; seemingly models with freckles, big, frizzy hair, fair skin, and now the gaping look.

Lindsay Wixson's lips

16 year-old American model Lindsay Wixson is one of the hottest new faces in the fashion industry. All due to her unique features: her lips and that wonderful gap between her front teeth (more about fashionable gap-toothed ladies coming soon).

Absolutely gorgeous.
I believe her plump cheecks also help her stand out, especially because most models we see on the catwalk all sport scary hollow cheecks. Plump cheeks = youth, right? :)

Oh, and for the record, I love alien-faced models. Ahah

I Blame Coco = love

A sugestão musical desta semana fica a cargo de Coco Sumner, nome artístico de Eliot Sumner, filha do músico Sting e da sua mulher, Strudie Styler. Como se costuma dizer, "filho de peixe sabe nadar" e Coco não é excepção.
Self Machine é uma música gira, fresca e muito catchy, perfeita para ouvir este verão. Pelo menos vai estar de certeza na minha playlist para ouvir na praia.

This is beautiful. I wish Vogue Portugal would have more daring editorials.

Spring/Summer 2010 hair trends are awesome

Nesta Primavera/Verão 2010 os cabelos querem-se adornados. É o adeus à simplicidade e a altura perfeita para usar e abusar dos mais fantásticos acessórios. Lenços, headbands (detesto a palavra "bandeletes"), etc., tornam o look mais interessante e permitem expressar a sua originalidade de várias formas.

Oh, como eu adoro acessórios para o cabelo. :D

Top 12 fashion editorials of 2009

Each month, hundreds (if not thousands) of fashion pictures compete for our attention. Some are edgy, succeeding to push the envelope a little further, be it in their photographic techniques, social context, or use of nudity. Some are expertly styled; some phenomenally photographed; and with some their strength lies in the models who are at their core. So which magazine photoshoots really stood out to us in 2009? In this edition of the Fashionising.com Insight, we look back on a year of fashion editorials and select our top 12 picks of the year.

the fashion world has lost Gemma Ward

«Australian supermodel Gemma Ward has quit the industry after a series of media reports ridiculing her for gaining weight, reported The Sunday Telegraph.

According to the report Ward, who celebrated her 22nd birthday last week, has revealed via her agent that she does not intend to return to modelling.

She was photographed last week in New York wearing a print jacket, shorts and biker boots and looking more like a healthy young woman and less like an emaciated wraith. Ward had previously been criticised for being too thin in the early part of her career.

The photos were posted by international fashion blogger Bryan Boy and received an number of vicious comments on her new size and shape.

Ward's modelling agency in New York, Viviens, announced that the Australian had no immediate plans to return to the industry. 'Gemma hasn't committed to returning to modelling at any time soon', a spokeman said, adding Ward had the agency's full support.»

In 2007, Ward earned $3 million from her doll-face looks and was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 11th most highly paid model in the world.

The infamous photos:

Back when she was criticised for being "too skinny".

I sincerely hope she didn't quit due to the constant remarks about her weight. Some people are just mean and/or have a very distorted notion or reality. The girl is NOT fat. Yes, she has gained weight, but she's still far from being overweight.

Now:

Criticised for being "too fat".

I honestly think she's beautiful and hope she can have a brilliant career in whatever she chooses to do from now on.
