MY FAVORITE PORTUGUESE MODELS #3 - MARGARITA

I decided to save the best for last. So today I bring you my favorite Portuguese model: Margarita Pugovka. This girl is beyond amazing, she is so young and she has already conquered sooo much. Last weekend she walked the runway for a lot of designers at Lisbon Fashion Week and she did a great job. This girl belongs to Best Models in Portugal and won Modalfa Fashion Dream in 2010. She is originally from Latvia (Letónia) and in 2011 she won the Fashion Award for Best Model New Face. Totally diserved. So much love for this girl.

MY FAVORITE PORTUGUESE MODELS #2 - DARIIA

When I was doing my internship at REVISTA magazine, my last job as a journalist there was doing the coverage of ModaLisboa last October. And I remember going to fashion expert Joyce Doret (God bless that woman) asking who were the models that I should feature in the magazine as one of the best parts of Lisbon Fashion Week. And she introduced me to two amazing ladies: Dariia Makarova and Margarita Pugovka (I will talk about her tomorrow). And she was right. Dariia is like an angel on the runway, she is so graceful. It was really nice to meet her and chat with her backstage. I believe she has an amazing international future in front of her.

MY FAVORITE PORTUGUESE MODELS #1 - MATILDE

When I created this blog almost four years ago I thought that I would make it all about fashion and music. But then I realized that this corner of mine goes way beyond that. This is a blog about people. Simple as that. The ones that I call “The Teenage Royalty”. I look up to them, I try to stay updated on their work and, sometimes, they are people I aspire to be. Starting today and during the next three days, I am bringing you three girls that have been impressing me throughout the years. Three beauties that I know you will love as well. My three favorite Portuguese models. And, today, I am bringing you the first one, Matilde. I took advantage that Lisbon Fashion Week was just last weekend and took pictures from L Oreal Professionel Portugal facebook page to show you how amazing she is walking down the runway. I love Matilde, not only because she is really nice, but also she really reminds me of Lindsey Wixson. Don’t you agree? Matilde was only 14 when she won Modalfa Fashion Dream and now belongs to Best Models agency. And she is only 19!! I love her, she is sooo pretty.

CARA DELEVINGNE FOR RESERVED’S SPRING 2013 CAMPAIGN

Everyone that checks this blog often knows that I have an infinite love for Cara Delevingne. I trully believe that this babe is the new Kate Moss. Cara is like a yong Goddess of Fashion. I love her not only for her modelling but for her awesome personality. She is the star of spring 2013 campaign from Polish fashion label Reserved. So you know, the theme of the new awesome advertisements of this label is “Be Inspired”, showing the new season’s looks in everyday settings combined with retro elements from the 80′s and 90′s, which I personally believe it's totally dope. The babe poses for Mateusz Stankiewicz’s lens in Miami, Florida. J'adoreee.

RIHANNA AND KATE MOSS IN THE COVER OF V MAGAZINE #82

The Holy Gods got together in Heaven and decided to put two of the biggest Goddesses of our era in the front page of the number 82 of V Magazine. The result is just unbeliavable. Rihanna and Kate Moss, the Goddess of Fashion and the Goddess of Music herselves, united for one of the most epic front covers I have ever seen. Seriously. This is just perfection. Not only to mention that these marvelous pictures were taken by the God of Photography himself, Mario Testino, one of my favorite photographers in the world. This S&M inspired shoot looks beyond amazing, Mario did a wonderful job with these two powerful women.

VICTORIA’S SECRET SWIM 2013 CATALOGUE

I love Victoria's Secret. Not only for the clothes, pieces of lingerie and swimwear, but also for their beautiful models and the catalogues and campaigns they produce. Some of my favorite models are VS Angels and they are sooo pretty. I love Adriana, I think she is a VS classic, such as Miranda and Alessandra. But my favorite ones are Erin and Behati. They are beyond gorgeous and are people I look up to. And today I'm bringing you the second of four swimwear 2013 catalogues from Victoria’s Secret which feature these two amazing beauties alongside Karlie Kloss, Candice Swanepoel, Barbara Palvin, Magdalena Frackowiak and Gracie Carvalho. The pictures were taken on the beaches of Tulum, Mexico. Aren't they just gorgeous? I also think that Barbara is beyond stunning and I know she is good friends with Portuguese beauty Sara Sampaio. Hopefully we will see them walking down the runway together :)
