Penelope Cruz,
W Magazine
hen Penélope Cruz was 18, she was blow-drying her hair one day at her home in Madrid and the phone rang. Her first film, Jamón, Jamón, with its casual nudity and sexy plot, was a sensation in Spain, and Cruz was an emerging star.
That afternoon, she was listening to Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for The Mission, mostly because she loved the music the composer had written for Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Pedro Almodóvar’s instant classic. “I listened to The Mission every day, all day, for a month,” Cruz told me with her usual mix of adult passion and childlike intensity. “That way, in my mind, Pedro was present in my house. My biggest goal was to work with Pedro.”
Her then boyfriend answered the phone and told Cruz that Almodóvar was on the line. She thought it was a joke, some kind of prank, and came to the phone expecting to talk to an impostor. “But it was that voice!” Cruz exclaimed, as if the phone call had just happened. “That ‘hello’ changed everything.”
Although Cruz was eventually wooed from Spain to Hollywood, where she would star in dozens of movies in which she all too often played the beautiful, exotic love interest, it was Almodóvar who saw beyond her looks. When he cast her in Volver in 2005, he made her the centerpiece of his film—a complex, sexy, real woman. It was personal: In many ways, Cruz was playing a character based on Almodóvar’s own mother—Volver is the only film the director has shot in his hometown. Speaking in her native language, playing the richest, most varied part she has ever been offered, Cruz was captivating. After Volver, and after more than a decade in the movie business, she was discovered as a serious actress.
In 2007 Cruz was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress for Volver, and in 2009, she went on to win best supporting actress for Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She recently appeared in Allen’s To Rome With Love as a businesslike prostitute, and later this fall, she will star in Venuto al Mondo (Twice Born), an Italian film set in the nineties amid the Bosnian war. Cruz speaks Italian in both movies, but she will return to Spanish in Almodóvar’s next project, I’m So Excited, in which, for the first time, he has cast her alongside Antonio Banderas. As always with Almodóvar, the plot is a secret.
When I interviewed Cruz in 2006, she told me she was longing to work with Javier Bardem. Although they had briefly appeared opposite one another in Jamón, Jamón, Cruz said: “It’s so obvious that we would make a great onscreen couple. Why are we not working together?” Allen may have been listening: He cast Bardem and Cruz as battling lovers in Vicky Cristina, and the two are now married and have a son, named Leo. Though Cruz has always been fiercely protective of her personal life, she is even more private when it comes to her child. “She would like to shoot the paparazzi who try to take his picture,” Almodóvar only half-joked. “But seriously, I always knew Penélope would be an amazing mother. She has no fear of love. You can see that in her work.”

Editorial: Passionate Penelope Cruz for W Magazine September 2012 Issue - The B ig Fashion Issue
Popularly known as the queen of the screen. She is a cinematic soulmate to Pedro Almodovar, a vibrant muse to Woody Allen, an award-winning actress in three different languages: Penelope Cruz is the ultimate movie star.
Penelope Cruz covers W Magazine September 2012 issue , photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott . On the cover Penelope is wearing a Givenchy navy turtleneck and a Lynn Ban 18k gold-plate and lapis necklace and YSL gloves styled by Edward Enninful.
I totally love the dreamy lashes used on Penelope for this shoot. Dreamy lashes are a reality with showstopping Lancôme Hypnôse Show Stopping Star mascara as used here. Check out more photos from the shoot below;

The Lavender Attic
Ajepomaa Design Gallery presents “The Lavender Attic”, as part of their cruise 2013 collection. The idea for this collection came from the timeless story of “Little Women” by American author Louisa May Alcott. Head designer ajePomaa envisioned the playful innocence of the young sisters in the novel.
"Our Lavender Attic collection is infused with delicate shades of periwinkle, lavender, salmon, heather grey, violet and teal.
To create the playful, softer side of the ajePomaa woman, our design team used wax prints along with intricate detailing like embroidered cotton, accordion pleats, elasticized smocking, and grosgrain ribbon into girly silhouettes".
The design concept is on a lighter note from our previous collection “Fearless Evolution”. We hope to give modern dynamic women a different outlook which caters to their lost innocence.
Lavender Attic is the seventh pret-a-porter collection for ajePomaa Gallery with an affordable price range. Most of the designs come in different sizes ranging from a UK size- 6-20, to a US size- 2-16.
See the collection and watch campaign ad below;

After seeing the sample of Bibi's work, I said to myself "Dear Lord, I have found my wedding dress designer, I have found the perfect honeymoon location and where the wedding will take place. I have even found my groom's suit designer and now my wedding card designer. Can my groom come now? Can I have my proposal already please?"
Ok scratch that. Just the imagination of a twenty something year old. But Bibi Invitation cards are amazing and I can't wait for an occasion(of course I can celebrate other things) to get them to make me something beautiful like the samples below.
