miu miu SS/13 ad campaign

One of my favourite Ad Campaigns for SS/13 has to be miu miu. Why? Well there are just endless justifications, here are some:

1. As you most probably know I am head over heels with 'pointy' court shoes and there is not one single 'round' court featured in this ad campaign! So yes, this may have won me over a little!

2. I love the contrast in textures which each and every photograph includes - they really help bring the campaign to life.

3. Do you agree that campaigns with more than one model in come across much more powerful? I believe that they have a greater impact. The beautiful Doutzen Kroes and Adriana Lima teamed up with Arizona Muse, Malgosia Bela and Bette Franke to fiercely compete for the sexiest Miu Miu model. I'll let you decide who you think should don the Miu Miu crown!

4. The different expressions, the emotions, the whispering, the tension, the hand gestures; they all make you feel like you want to know more. You want to know their secrets. You want to know why they look so concerned. 

I instantly wanted to become a miu miu girl when I saw this campaign for the first time - move over VS angels I want to be a MM masterpiece! 

Whether you are a blonde, brunette or a red head I guarantee you can connect with one of the models. It's strange, you feel so distant and uninvolved BUT so close and connected at the same time. Isn't it ODD what a few photographs can do to you?  

5. I love the fierce RED which is embraced throughout the campaign. Such a strong contrast to the models fragile expressions. Could this be portraying that girl power isn't so fierce as we once thought? Perhaps it is trying to convey that on the outside females seem so fearless and fierce when actually inside they really aren't. If this is the case, then don't be afraid to express the delicate side of you. Be weak, be fragile. It will only make you stronger. Remember, if a miu miu model is allowed to - then so are we!
(Yes, I get lost in photographs - many apologies!) 

6. The setting is a 10/10 kind of setting. It really helps enhance the high quality garments and the wood panelling helps to create some truly amazing compositions. 

7. A big yes to the gloves and a big yes to the geeky glasses! A big yes to pretty much everything really! 

Now it's time to see the ad campaign for yourself...



















I'm not sure about you, but for me; the prints, the furs, the textures and the jewels all leaped out way beyond the photographs. I hope you experienced the same 3D kinda effect!

Happy Birthday Penguin

Alice AKA penguin is 23 today!!

 It goes a little bit like this...I call Alice Penguin, Peng or Pengy and she calls me Pig or Piggy. A little odd, but to be fair all nicknames are odd!

Pengy has an extreme sweet tooth (like myself) so I was ecstatic to get in the kitchen and whip up a Bruce Bogtrotter! A giant cupcake sprung to my mind, so I whipped out my moulds...




I poured my sponge mixture into the moulds, allowing space for the cakes to rise. The good thing about giant cupcakes is that you need to slice off the top of your sponge so that the top can sit nicely on top. You know what this means right? Cake scraps to munch on!





With a dollop of chocolate fudge icing I throughly enjoyed the scraps. They were NOT going to waste!




With a belly weighed down with calories I was ready to make Bogtrotter gag proud...




The end result...



I would have preferred to write 'Happy Birthday' however you've probably guessed that I ran out of letters! I therefore had to make do with 'HB' - a little blunt but it means the same thing!

 The shape does look slightly odd - I must work on this for my next one!

I then needed to make something Pig and Penguin related so I also made cupcakes.

Penguin cupcakes...




This little Piggy went to market...



 Excuse the pig cupcake...I'm not an animal lover therefore I am not aware of what features a Pig has! Ooops!

Anyway I carefully drove to Peng's house. I was praying the giant cupcake wouldn't fly off the passenger seat whilst I got a little lost in Rihanna's album!

Armed with presents (and Rose) the cake and I arrived safely...



I put on my leather and fur (oh and obviously my eyelashes) and we headed out for some drinks...




Happy Birthday to my beautiful Penguin...




We woke up to balloons and Peng's mum singing Happy birthday...




We then headed downstairs for a pain au chocolat breakfast with the family and Peng's cute grandparents popped over with more presents - which may I add were wrapped beautifully!




I loved celebrating Penguin's 23rd Birthday with her and more importantly I love the fact that we are growing old together. 

HB from your one and only Piggy xx


Enjoy your Sunday roast everyone!
