See the USA in your Chevrolet

Remember the old commercials for Chevrolet featuring the song "See the USA"? Well, we're in luck, especially if your a fan of Glee. The New Directions are making a date to see the USA in their Chevrolet Cruzes.

Lea Michele does the duty of opening the commercial, in a song of course.

The commercial stars Mark Salling, Jenna Ushkowitz, Harry Shum Jr.,

Amber Riley, Lea Michele, Chord Overstreet, Naya Rivera,

Heather Morris, and Kevin McHale.

Where's Cory? He's filming his movie somewhere north.

Not sure where Diana is, though.

Oh, here's Kevin!

Also included in the commercial are Aerialist, Dancers, and a Chevy Cruze. The commercial was aired last Sunday during one of the breaks of Super Bowl. Oh, and here it is.

 

And if that wouldn't make you happy enough, here is a behind the scenes look.

Lovely, right!

Prada Goes Bananas

I'm kinda late in the Spring 2011 Collections but let me differ, Spring is just starting in some countries. So, it is just perfect. Another perfect thing, Prada's Spring Collection for 2011 entitled "Minimal Baroque".


The collection was described by Miuccia as "brave, bold, and obvious". It features bright colors, cherubs, jungle prints, stripes, baroque curlicues, monkeys and bananas. Not to mention the colored faux (!?!) fur stoles. The entire collection has the perfect balance of minimalism and maximalism. The inspiration comes from the legendary jazz-age entertainer Josephine Baker.

Want proof? Chech out these photos below.

Model Arizona Muse opened the show in a bright Orange dress.

Also featured are comfy-looking wedges and the aforementioned fur stole.

Is this the next "It" bag?

Baroque Sunglasses anyone?

Although it seems that these wouldn't be available for retail.

Baroque gone Modern

Stripes is always a good thing.

Fortunately, I found the entire runway show on Prada's channel on Youtube. Here is the video.



One more thing, more like two more! Also from Youtube, I got the fashion video ad of the collection plus a backstage video.

It Should be Cold by Now

At least not in the tropics. What we have here is an almost sweater weather. I sometimes envy those living in countries where they enjoy four seasons. Then again, Winter may be too much for me too handle.

Anyway, here is an idea from the guys at Mango. Featuring Anja Rubik on their Fall Winter 2010 collection ads. The photos were taken by Terry Richardson. Wait, what?!? These are from Terry?!? They don't seem like his signature sleazy photos. 

Here are the photos, more of them here.

Black and Gray are good colors for Fall Winter, almost

a little boho wouldn't hurt, so go ahead and

pair a printed dress with suede booties for Fall

Menswear inspired Womenswear  is everything,

at least in this photo. Hat, blazer and the boyfriend jean.

Go for comfy in an over-sized slouchy knit cardigan with flat boots

Giddy up, jingle horse pick up your feet!*

Head on to the west for inspiration.

*Jingle Bell Rock lyrics

Brown is really a predominant color for Fall Winter.

Let's end this post with my favorite shot of the bunch!

I said on my last post that it was the last for the year, but here I am again!

Anyway, Happy Holidays!

Burberry Prorsum Menswear Pre-Collection Autumn Winter 2011

That is a long title!

Pre-Fall 2011 for Burberry Prorsum's Menswear line came out yesterday and I just have to share them. I love what Christopher Bailey had been doing in Burberry. The eponymous check had been incorporated in almost everything and the Trench coat has come out into a new light.

So, here's a look at the excellent new Burberry Prorsum Menswear Pre-Collection, gearing up for the winter of 2011 a lighter shade of autumn colours comes forward giving a more youthful note to the already famed jackets. And for the ladies, here is a link to the womenswear collection.

Enjoy! I placed commentaries on the looks to break the monotony of an all photo post.  Click on the photos to enlarge... like Extra Large!

An almost black-ish gray starts is the 1st and 2nd look.

I love the shirt on the right with what seems to be an embellished pocket.

It looks soooo soft!

The herringbone trench on the left looks perfect with the cashmere sweater.

And the velvet trench on the right is nothing short of great!

The velvet suit on the right, check!

The ladies belt looks interesting, but not as interesting as the man's trench coat!

I wonder what type of fabric would that be?!?

Burberry really has its way of making their outerwear intersting.

Case in point: the man's jacket is padded nylon with a fur lining.

A little color perhaps? The orange-y pinkish sweater on the right looks pretty interesting, no?

The sweater on the right with a tree print? Yes I want, too.

After a ton of brown-based looks, let's try blue this time.

The fur front sweater on the right looks delicious.

I prefer the looks on the right, right?

And now, we're going solo. No more loving for the one on the right.

But this trench coat equates to LOVE!

Something's wrong on this look, but the shoes are definitely right on!

Great colors are inevitable for pre-fall and this look did not disappoint.

The yellowish nylon thermal vest coupled with the non-bright orange mohair, or is it cashmere sweater?!?

Sweater whatever!

The padded nylon jacket with fur collar is genius.
A perfect mix of casual and esquisite.

Orange, they say, would be the "it" color of 2011.
(they = the guys over at NYFW)
This orange jacket would be a good addition to anyone's closet come pre-fall.

 Well, what do you know? There is a tree printed shirt here.
Yay! And look at those velvet trousers!

A puffy trench is layered over what seems to be a camel hair coat,
basic, simple, comfortable.

The blue sweater is a modern classic. The details near the collar is a classic.
What makes it modern is the fit.

There is a basic black tuxedo suit, too.

Plus a trench version of the jacket.
Nice, right?

Again, I urge you to click on the photos to see them in all their glory.

Beyond the Scent

No, really it is Beyond the scent. Anna dello Russo can do no wrong and this time she gives us her scent. And it is "Beyond", that's the name of her scent which will be available on yoox.com come December 3, 2010.

The perfume comes in a golden shoe bottle. Cute yet fragile, it seems that the bottle is made up of a thin sheet of glass and is hand made/blown. This is the perfume made for your dreams. EVANESCENT, GLASSY, FRAGILE. her words not mine.

The photo above is taken by renowned fashion photographer Juergen Teller.

Can Models Act?

That's a good question, right? There had been an influx of crossover models trying out acting. There's Natalia Vodianova playing Medusa on Clash of the Titans as an example. And now, we get Supermodel Helena Christensen and David Gandy on a short film for W London. You heard me right! More like, you read that right!

W London teamed up with Edoardo Ponti who wrote and directed a short film entitled "Away We Stay". Shot on location in Leicester Square, the film is a romantic tale of love, life and the choices we make in the middle.

Helena Christensen plays Alex Worthington, a guest at W London who falls for an unnamed man, in the film that is, David Gandy.

Here is video. It seems that this is the first episode since "to be continued..." was posted towards the end. Enjoy!

Gucci and the Babies Part Two

I blogged about the Gucci and UNICEF team up last week here and just found a sneak peek today. (Sorry, I'm not a very resourceful blogger.) Which makes this post part 2!

 

The video features Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini, Jennifer Lopez and footage of what has happened during the shoot. (warning: cute little babies right ahead!) Below is the entire video. See Marc Anthony and Jennifer on set with their adorable twins and get access to all the behind the scenes action from the Gucci children's ad campaign.

Plus some photos from Gucci's Facebook page.

The rain boots are obviously tacky/cute

 

My mom would love this!

 I would probably wear this if it came in my size and if I can afford it.
