42. shell jewelry

Vogue Germany ran this editorial on its October 2010 Issue and I have to say I am in love with it. I mean, bold colours, unusual mixes, clean lines with a 70's vibe and modern appeal... I WANT. It was photographed by Sebastian Kim, styled by Katie Mossman and the beauty you see in the pictures is Suvi Koponen.

41. gold! Any jewels

Martiniano Arce is an argentinian artist who specialises in a genre known as "Fileteado" which is local to Buenos Aires. This form of art started as decorative -you can see it mostly on buses and street signs- and its focus is on colour and the illusion of volume.
The common themes on Arce's work are equally local: Tango, Gauchos, Fútbol (Soccer) and Religious images.

40. jewelry for a cause (bracelet)

In the last December issue, Vogue Russia goes regal in this editorial shot by Sharif Hamza and styled by Simon Robins. The stunning Ashley Smith is all about heavy fabrics, crinolines and -of course- sex, in a collection of images where everyting is about clothes and nothing more.

39. alexander mcqueen jewelery

I'm back! A little rusty after the holidays...
 
This one I found on http://www.theones2watch.com/newwave/3023 I was instantly drawn to its clean geometry, the pops of colour and the neutral, nondescript landscape. Shot and styled by Madame Peripetie (you must visit her website http://www.madameperipetie.com )

Shot for Vogue Germany February 2010 issue and Photographed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld, this collection of mesmerizing pictures pays homage to Fritz Lang's masterpiece with modern shapes merged with the best of the flapper era's glamour. Styled by Christiane Arp.

Have yourselves a Merry Little Christmas!!! :)

Benito Quinquela Martín was an argentinian painter, known as the "dock painter" because of his portraits of daily life at the La Boca Docks in Buenos Aires. His work received harsh criticism due to his lack of formal artistic education, however, he remains to this day one of the most beloved artists in Argentina. He was also a big philantropist, the school he built in La Boca still has his name.
 
I was inspired by the vibrant colours and the contrast between the softness of the water and sky and the geometry of the sailboats.

Pérez Célis was a very well known argentinian artist, his work included paintings, sculptures, murals and engravings. He combined the aesthetic of local indian culture and avant-garde with images of profound meaning in argentinian popular culture such as football.
 
I was inspired by his understanding of the abstract and the use of bold colours to bring light to dark images.
