City Crush: London baby!

God save the queen
Credits

So... Last week I was in London for the first time. It's one of those places where you can see pretty much everything, the old and the new, the classic and the modern, the Eastern and the Western, you name it, it's there! It's an atmosphere for the open minded, for the adventurous, for the wanderlusters!

I didn't have time to see and visit all the places that I wanted to, but I saw enough to fall in love with the city. It's now on my top 3, next to Paris and Barcelona. The thing you get once you arrive: it moves, and they go fast in there. Everyone is running around and stumbling on each other, night and day, just because that's how quick life is for Londoners.  

The people there are generally very nice and polite, I guess they are already used to people from all over the world so no muss, no fuss! My personal advice: if you decide to visit London, make sure you have a good shopping allowance! 

There are so many great shops, so many great outfits, accessories and all the stuff you can imagine... It's a girls' dream! I loved it, and I definitely want to go back there with more time to explore!

Keira, the Queen of Boho

Keira : topcrush of the day
Credits

Keira Knightley is the kind a girl you need in your life. She can either be the girl of your dreams or your best friend for life. Keira is the type of girl that doesn't try to hard but there she is always made you wondering why didn't you think of that.

When Keira is boho chic it's an absolute feast for any fashionista eyes. She was born to wear boho clothes and se is just pure inspiration.

Boho is still strong this fall so take a few tips away from Keira style and be gone: go out into the world and learn french and just be like "le me being trés awesome". 

Check out the Vogue's selection of style evolution of this gorgeous english babe.

My love affair with Marlon Brando

Yeah, that's right.
Since, I watched The Godfather for the first time, I have been in love.
Madly, truly, deeply too.

10 reasons that make Marlon Brando the bad boy you MUST love.

1. He loved cats.

2. He knew when he had to put his clothes on...

3...and when to take everything off.

4. He loved his grandma.

5. Just because this gif exists.

And this.

OH MY GOD. This too.

6. He totally made you feel the luckiest girl in the room.

7. The way he looked in an uniform. 

8. He had that concentration that successful people do and that's hot.

9. That stare, the white shirt and the smirk.

 The whole reason why white shirts were invented was Marlon Brando, really it was.

*Syncope*

10. A guy guy's with those arms around you.

 *SWOON*

Shop Like A Boss!

"Shop Like a Boss" is the new campaign for Kmart. Basically, this commercial it's all about your grandmother teaching you how to be cool and buy stuff online. The ad promotes their new digital platform, where any consumer can buy products and choose the payment method that suits best: by cash, check, debit, credit card or in the store. 

This is a successful case of advertising: it's funny, it's catchy, it's an elderly woman buying pink lacy underwear with two gangster looking boys. I rest my case.

The campaign was developed by creative agency FCB Chicago, and already has over 400,000 views on YouTube. I have to say I loved it, it made me laugh and I'm sure it's going to bring a lot of attention to their online platform.  You can watch the full video below:

Advertising done right!

Obesity alert: Rewind the Future

Credits

"You have to make a change!"

This video from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta has a powerful message: you can meet Jim, he's a young man who is arriving the Hospital having a heart attack. And then, we hear the doctor asking "how the hell does that happen?" Well, it happens, nowadays more than ever, and this is a way of fast forwarding into a scary future that many of us can experience.

Here are 10 facts about obesity, according to the World Health Organization:

1. Overweight and obesity are defined as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health"

2. More than 1.4 billion adults were overweight in 2008, and more than half a billion obese

3. Globally, over 40 million preschool children were overweight in 2008

4. Overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths worldwide than underweight

5. For an individual, obesity is usually the result of an imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended

6. Supportive environments and communities are fundamental in shaping people’s choices and preventing obesity

7. Children's choices, diet and physical activity habits are influenced by their surrounding environment

8. Eating a healthy diet can help prevent obesity

9. Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy body

10. Curbing the global obesity epidemic requires a population-based multisectoral, multi-disciplinary, and culturally relevant approach

Let's make a change in order to have a brighter and healthier future!
