SICILIA SPAGNOLA & MANOLETE

The most breathtaking ad campaigns, the most beautiful models, the most stunning dresses, the most charming Italian tribute, the most talented designer duo - DOLCE & GABBANA! Their clothes are absolutely incredible. A couple of years ago the label went for a risky yet worthy image makeover. They launched the industry's most gorgeous Haute Couture line Alta Moda and became the epitome of luxurious and feminine Italian glamour. It's amazing how they manage to outdo themselves with every single collection. Summer 2015 is dedicated to the magic of toreador costumes, Madrilenian charm and the compelling Spanish allure.

Monochrome polka dot, red roses, elaborate gold embellishments and the most artistic presentation - An unbelievable line titled Sicilia Spagnola. I love how they take us to another world. The amount of effort Dolce and Gabbana put in their collections and campaigns is unsurpassable. And can we please take a moment to appreciate the beauty of every single model, move and emotion? Bellissimo!

I can't help but think of one of my favourite movies staring Adrien Brody and Penélope Cruz. Have you guys seen Manolete - A Matador's Mistress? The heartbreaking story of the eponymous bullfighter and the woman of his life - A love hotter than a Spanish summer portrayed by the most influential Latina beauty of the decade and a man so perfect only a Dolce & Gabbana suit could do him justice. It made me realise once again that Adrien is the most flawless and talented actor in the world. And Penélope... well she's a goddess! She's so gorgeous, her unique beauty is hypnotic. I wonder whether Stefano and Domenico saw the movie...

It's a masterpiece, one of the most touching films of all time! The story is very tragic but the many beautiful and passionate moments manage to slightly make up for that. Choosing Brody and Cruz was a brilliant decision. I could literally watch them for hours. Adrien is like a powerful painting, it's impossible to take your eyes off him. I've rarely seen a love this epic and costumes this good, only Adrien and Penélope could have created such fire. As a character said "women make you love life" and their romance truly became legendary...

Spain is such an interesting and inspiring country full of life and diversity. It's important to get to know different cultures and celebrate folkloric elements in clothing. Thank you Stefano and Domenico for adding a lot more art to the commercial fashion circus. Your talent is a great gift and Italy's precious treasure. Amo Dolce e Gabbana per sempre! ;)

#MANCRUSHMONDAY ADRIEN BRODY

Welcome to the beginning of the annual Oscar week! I'm more than excited for all the gowns, jewels and obviously the winners. Will Leo go and get it this time? I hope so! Actually he is the only 39 year old, who already deserves something like a special platinum Oscar. Yes, Leo is my ultimate crush of 2013. The Great Gatsby, Django Unchained, Wolf of Wall Street, seriously just give him that thing! But then there's Matthew McConaughey, who changed his image as an actor with one of the most powerful performances of the decade. And girls, we melt when Christian Bale appears on the screen. So it's still Leo, right? Or is it Christian, or Matthew... But hey, when it comes to the Best Actor in a Supporting Role there is only one, right? Bradley Cooper... or Jared or Jonah ;)

What is your all time favourite Oscar moment? I don't even have to spend a second thinking... Adrien Brody winning the Oscar for his incredible work in Roman Polanski's The Pianist in 2003. This man is everything! He is the most incredible actor I've ever seen on screen. He has the most intense on-camera presence and that face... beautiful. Adrien will always be my number one crush, he's perfect!

Girls, do you need more convincing arguments? Just check him out on any red carpet. He rocks the finest suits, the most luxurious watches and everything is just flawless from head to toe. Brody looks like a masterpiece. I love a man who loves to be the best version of himself. Only a man like that deserves a woman who does the same. I know that the '03 Oscar was definitely not the last one. We just need another legendary director, a good plot and the perfect role. Maybe The Grand Budapest Hotel? The Pianist was his movie, nobody could have done it better. He was also excellent in Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited, the 90's thriller Oxygen and ... Manolete. Manolete is probably one of my favourite movies ever. Honestly I'm not into all those over sugared romantic dramas but this one is unbeatable. The gorgeous beauty Penelope Cruz, the setting, the costume design, the music... A true story told in the most beautiful and artistic way. This movie way highly Oscar worthy. Oh Adrien, vous êtes incroyable! ;)
Will you guys be up all night? I see you guys tomorrow discussing the best/ worst dressed. On which side will Steven Tyler end up this time? ;)
Have a great evening
Love
