YSL
 |
There's something magical and special with YSL's pieces, they're all SO PERFECT, so pretty and so glamourous. Pumps, perfums, make up, lipstick, rings, dresses... And the logo ? It's AMAZING, I think Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel's logos are the smartest and the most incredible logos EVER. So, I decided to make this little tribute to YSL's work and to all the beautiful pieces of the brand. My grandmother's always had stuff of the brand, and as I grow up with her I looked at the pieces for HOURS and I was so careful with them, because they're so perfect and so pretty that I thought they could easily break.. (How a weird kid I was)
Right now I'm totally obsessed with the Parisienne's perfum, I really need to buy it, it's so perfect.

street style
I said that I would do some changes around here, and street style posts are one of the issues. How many times do you feel like "Ohh I love that top or that jeans, but where can I find that? or where can I find something very similar?". It happens a lot of times, and I decided to help you a little with that problem. What do you think about it? I love her redlipstick, and she is GORGEOUS.
I said on twitter that I have a giveaway coming to celebrate half year of the blog, what do you think? It's great isn't it? Ohh, and for those who aren't following me on twitter, you really should do it because I can't post the pic of the post of the day right in the moment because the pics of that topic doesn't appear right away, so, add me on twitter for the updates, but of course add me on facebook too because I LOVE to talk about stuff there too.
Ohh and you can't miss a post on my blog, because I'll do some "How to" posts, curious about it? Keep visiting.

Hiiii my dear lovers,
If you're a follower on twitter or facebook, you may noticed that I've been talking about this post and this "what's in" posts. These posts can be requested by you, what you'd like to see about me like "What's in your wallet?" or "What's in your school bag" things like that. What do you think?
Here's my make up bag, a little confused and messy but I kinda need to confess you something, I don't really like to carry around with my expensive and good make up, so the cheapest make up are with me all the time, although things like foundation, bronzer, blush or eye shadow I change everyday in order to what I'm wearing that day, but I don't bring my CHANEL or Lancôme shadows with me, the Cargo blush or the Benefit Cosmetics lipstick. I am really weird and careful with my good make up.
So as you can see, I always bring with me some perfum, concealer, pencil (my favourite one from Elizabeth Arden, yes it's an exception of the expensive make up rule, because I really love the pencil and it have a special meaning to me, my grandmother gave it to me and she's like my idol and I love her so much that I always need to have something of hers, it's like my lucky charm) deodorant, tweezer, gloss, vitamin lipstick, mascara, foundation (of the day), blush (of the day), shadow, mirror, nail polish, tooth brush, tooth paste, foundation brush or sponge, hair brush. And you? Let me know what you carry in your make up bag.
what's in..

It's been a while since my last street style post, I kinda miss them! So here's one more for you. Don't you just LOVE the contrast of the black outfit with the blond hair? I'm loving it, it's so perfect and matches so well! Amazing really.
Oh, I'm so glad that you liked my new hair cut, I was so afraid of that, it couldn't be that well and I was really scared, thank you so much for all the nice words and for all the comments on lookbook, twitter, facebook and here, blogger.
I have a special post for you tomorrow, don't miss it! How is school/college? Did you already started? Tell me about it.

Live for something rather than die for nothing.
Well, since beach days are almost over I decided to cut my hair, sun ruin a lot of your hair and I always get a hair cut after summer, so here it is. I didn't mention anything because I was afraid of the final look but I'm LOVING it! Now, my hair is FINALLY straight again, without any weird waves on the bottom and I'm loving, it's just PERFECT!
This weekend I have a great and fabulous photoshoot, it's a magical place! I'll shoot decor&living and also fashion, of course (what's my life without fashion? NOTHING) So, I hope you liked my haircut and don't forget to add me on

header photoshoot
As you may noticed, I changed the header a little and I need to thank to all of my readers for all the nice words about it! I changed the avatar of twitter, blogger and facebook page.
I love this new header and I need to thank A LOT to my boyfriend for this photoshoot, the idea, the concept.. everything! So, I loved being model for a day and here you can see some of my favourite photos of the header photoshoot. What do you like the most?
As I promised, I'll do a "what's on" post which is where I upload pictures or talk about something that you request, like "what's on your make up bag" or "what's on your winter closet". Start asking, what do you want to see?
Don't forget to HYPE my header on LookBook!

Hello lovers,
spotted
Travelling Fashionista tagged me with a few good questions that I've the pleasure to answer for you to know a little bit more about me. Feel free to question me or to tag me, I really appreciate it.
Take a look:
Do you prefer Spring/Summer or Autumn/Winter?
I think each season has her own mistery and magic. I love the beauty of spring, the happiness of summer, the mistery of autumn and the cold of the winter. Can you imagine if your year was the same for about 12 months? I mean, only summer or only winter? You couldn't wear that cozy jackets or trenchcoats or you couldn't wear that fabulous bikini. Fashion is all about seasons and I love each one of them.
What do you notice first: Smokey eye make-up or bright lips?
Hmmm, I don't know I think maybe the bright lips because bright lipstick isn't always the same in each skin tone or face shape..
Who are your style icons?
I have a lot of style icons like Atlanta deCadenet Taylor, Kate Moss, Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively, Audrina Partridge, Miranda Kerr, Audrey Hepburn and so on..
Describe your personality in 3 words.
Persistent, dreamer, fighter.
If you had to leave the house with only one item of make-up what would it be?
Hmm that's one of the most difficult questions EVER. It depends on the season, winter for me it's all about eyes, summer it's all about lips.. So mascara or red lipstick.
Which era do you think influenced fashion the most?
Well, I studied fashion history and if you know something about it, you know that the 40's and 50's were the times where fashion houses were born, but I think the 20's were a HUGE date for woman, fashion and style.. So I think maybe the 20's were a huge influence.
What beauty item do you always repurchase?
Item or items? Well, foundation, mascara, blush and bronzer..
I'll post the other pictures of the header photoshoot tomorrow, what do you think? What do you think about the header? I LOVE IT!

Take a look on the interview:
Name: Gina Marie Landes
Age: 21- Capricorn
Hometown: Bloomington, MN
Current town: Just moved back to Minneapolis, MN from LOS ANGELES
I realized I wanted to be a fashion designer in the 5th grade when I received my first sewing machine for Christmas. I started making my friends and myself clothing by tracing garments I owned onto new fabric and clumsily sewing the pieces together. You can imagine how cute these garments were : )
I loved studying at FIDM. Moving to Los Angeles was an incredible experience and I loved almost every minute of it!
My favorite class was draping with Mrs. Manukyan, she was one tough cookie but an amazing teacher who I respect.
My favorite fashion icon would have to be Edie Sedgwick. Her life is so amusing.
My inspiration is taken from everything I do and see. Big cities energize my creativity. However, I've found that I'm most creative and inspired when I go for runs outdoors.. I tend to daydream the entire time and come up with new plans and ideas for what's next, such as my online vintage boutique, Gina Marie Vintage.
My style is ever evolving, which draws me to different decades of fashion for inspiration. Right now I'm highly influenced by the 50's and 90's.
I would never long to be famous, just successful in what I do. I'm pretty awful with knowing celebrities so I don't think I could come up with an honest answer. Sorry :- /
I can see my self living in New York, Chicago, San Fran, or Portland. It's crazy to think about now, but I hope to have a happy marriage, children, and 5 dogs by then as well (considering I'll be 41)...
About Gina Marie Vintage's future I hope to have a boutique in a beautiful city where I'll sell my line of clothing (vintage-inspired garments and accessories), along with unique vintage pieces. I would also love to have my line picked up by other boutiques around the world- an excuse to travel and find new homes for my brand.
With all my ♥, Jo
