Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy
Although between Robert and I, we could make a million cheeky jokes about Givenchy’s new fragrance ad campaign for Eaudemoiselle (starting with whether the perfume should be named “eaudepond” or in the park “avec la cape de vampire”?); we know that seriously speaking: we love this daunting and haunting photograph of Polish model Magdalena Frackowiak by Liz Collins (and that above all, we secretly want Magda to bite us intensely and passionately!). The campaign perfectly portrays Givenchy’s dark yet romantic style, while exemplifying the French House’s core aristocratic values as well as its couture spirit as founded by couturier Hubert de Givenchy. Rose is accordingly the chief composition of Eaudemoiselle to create the imagery of “flower bathed in morning dew”.
Get ready! Eaudemoiselle is set to release in the first half of 2010.

Canadian Model Jessica Stam shows off Christian Diors Makeup Holiday Collection 2009
This is an elaboration on my last post in regards to making a fool out of myself in front of the ever so smart ‘n’ chic Chanel sales staff. For example: four weeks ago or so, I asked the flawless ladies at the makeup counter whether they sell that exquisite miniature cage, which Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana holds oh-so-divinely in the Chanel Christmas 2009 ad campaign. The paranormal look, which I found on her face, was certainly not the answer I was looking for. If Lanvin sells gorgeous porcelain dolls and Christian Dior hypnotises us with super striking Stam and the exquisite Swarovski crystal encrusted lipgloss/pendant; why does Chanel stay so everlastingly classical in terms of packaging the cosmetic line for special occasions like Christmas? Well… Afterall, it comes once a year only, no? Just a thought.

So... I.. I... I apologize. I o-ogled you. Sorry.
Since I have received some accusations of being almost mental in regards to a certain delicious Dane, I have decided to make this one last post [for this month] on the above-mentioned person. Frankly, this has not been an easy decision for me, but please try to understand that this is crucial in terms of my mental growth and development – all the more so, because of the lack of brain activity going on when ogling in the presence of that unbelievably flawless Danish being. I hope you all respect my decision. This month will certainly be the most difficult time ever and I know time will pass in slower than slow motion; but who knows what the future might bring? His glorious comeback on blogyul could be just a step away… Perhaps just in time for Christmas? But for now, let’s take a long last look at those mesmerising blue eyes and get lost for one last time! Ahhh… Hypnotise me!
P.S. “So… I.. I… I apologize. I o-ogled you. Sorry.” is a quote from the film Stranger Than Fiction (2006).

Martinique-born model Sigrid Agren for Yves Saint Laurent Holiday Look 2009
I know! I know! I know! It’s bad to change my mind so quickly. However, when confronting something oh so lovely as Yves Saint Laurent’s New Holiday Makeup collection, I’m just absolutely feeble as a flee! I love how in your face the holiday look, as shown by Martinique model Sigrid Agren, is! It says strong, bold and confident, like nobody else does and I adore everything about it – from the flawless use of pure colour to create this rich vibrant look to the raw energy it exudes! Everything is rich, sensual and immaculately powerful! Chanel Christmas look? Sorry, no, thanks! Not anymore! Yves Saint Laurent’s holiday collection is truly what I want for Christmas!

Brazilian Model Isabeli Fontana for Collection Cage Dorée de Chanel Christmas 2009
Chanel’s Christmas Collection is in stores now and I just love it! The collection entitled “Cage Dorée de Chanel” is inspired by a Golden Cage, which is found amongst Mademoiselle Coco Chanel’s personal treasuries in her apartment in Rue Cambon. Created by the brilliant Belgian make-up artist Peter Philips, this exquisite miniature set – made with rich turquoise and emerald stones – is absolutely bewitching! The exotic colours, in particular, are simply divine! Brazilian beauty Isabeli Fontana perfectly exudes the utterly magnetic power of this sophisticated and seductive collection. Enjoy Christmas in style – with Chanel’s fresh and ingenious Christmas creation!

Christian Dior "Escale à Portofino" Fragrance: Edita Vilkevičiūtė
I hear all these gossips about Edita, sometimes that just makes me neglect her appearance, as I just do not feel like I can adore her as much as I do when it comes to some of the other models. Nonetheless, that does not mean she is not a great model. This picture from her new campaign for Christian Dior’s Fragrance “Escale à Portofino” arrouses my interest for the Lithuanian model once again. Ms. Vilkevičiūtė, representing a classic beauty of the 1920s à la Greta Garbo style, reclines casually on a chair by the palm beach. This ad not only brings the sea closer, but also transmits boundless grace and elegance. It is simply divine!

Russian model Anna Selezneva backstage at Gucci Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2009
A splash of acid green painted in accordance to the twinkling crystal blue eyes of the seductive Russian model Anna Selezneva creates a look that is poisonous and may result in smoking accidents of unknown details. Ahhh… Gucci!
