02.09.2011- Weekend Wishes

This weekend, I wish I could look this good on the dance floor....

Lanvin Fall 2011, starring Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann.

Better get practicing my moves! Also, apologies for the lack of posts over the last week, I am busy interning at the moment, and am graduating next week (scary stuff!) Will try and get back to more regular posting once I've caught up on some sleep. 

What have you got planned for the weekend?

13.05.2011- Weekend Wishes

This weekend, I wish I could spend some time baking up a storm in the kitchen...

...although I doubt I'd look as stylish as Karen Elson whilst doing so!

What have you got planned for this weekend?

22.04.2011- (Easter) Weekend Wishes

I hope you're all enjoying the glorious weather which we're being blessed with at the moment! Although the pessimist in me is certain that this will be the extent of 'British Summertime', there is no doubting that it's lovely to see the sunshine. So, with this in mind, my wish for this weekend is to spend it in my garden, à la Karen Elson:

What have you got planned for this long weekend? I hope you all have a lovely Easter!

15.11.2010- A Stylish Man

Here's the perfect thing to cheer up a miserable Monday evening- an exclusive first look at Tom Ford's long awaited Spring 2011 ready to wear collection, as featured in the December issue of US Vogue.

Shot by Steven Meisel and featuring a stellar cast of models including Karen Elson, Joan Smalls and Stella Tennant, this first peek at the collection showcases a strong seventies influence, and features some of the exquisite tailoring which Ford's name has become synonymous with. I can't wait to see more.

What do you think of this look at Tom Ford's Spring 2011 collection? Are you impressed?

09.11.2010- The ghost who walks

Today I came across this incredible shoot from Vogue Italia's March 2008 issue, featuring Karen Elson as shot by Craig McDean. I think the vivid colours are the perfect way to forget the gloomy weather (is it me or have the last few days been freezing?) and the whole shoot somehow reminds me of those marble ink paintings from primary school:

You can see the full editorial at NOIR FACADE.

Today I don't get much more artistic than drawing the occasional doodle in my university notebooks! But I do find this editorial very inspiring, I just might have to dig out some paints (or maybe colouring pencils, best not get too carried away!) Let's just hope stick men become the next big thing in the art world.

What do you think of this editorial? And are you as rubbish at drawing as I am? If not, I'm very jealous!

19.09.2010- Red Hot

As if you needed any further proof, following the parade of copper-headed models at Mulberry's SS10 show, that red was the hottest hair colour around at the moment, along comes the gorgeous Karen Elson for the October issue of UK Harper's Bazaar:

I'm seriously envying Karen's mane in these pictures, shot by Alexi Lumbomirski. As well as maintaining her to-die-for locks, Karen, with the help of her husband Jack White, has been writing and recording her debut album The Ghost Who Walks which was released earlier this year. I really like what I've heard of her music so far, but I'll let you judge for yourselves:

I really like the old country style, and am already (badly) humming the tune to myself around the house!

What do you think of Karen's music? And will you be embracing the red-head trend any time soon?

25.06.2010- Vuitton Girls

Karen Elson, Christy Turlington and Natalia Vodianova star in the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 advertising campaign, shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Karl Templer.

The 1950's inspired pieces really come to life through the composition of these images, and the sophisticated styling of each of the models really captures the spirit of the collection. What do you think?

30.04.2010- Circus Beauty

This fantastic editorial featuring the stunning Karen Elson shot by Steven Meisel was posted over at fashiongonerogue this morning. I have to confess I've not seen it before, but just fell in love with the whole shoot so thought I'd post it here to share.

I really love narrative editorials, and this just looks like it was so much fun to shoot. Karen  looks so so beautiful here, I just adore the way her hair has been styled, very old Hollywood.

Not too sure how frequently I'll be posting over the next few weeks as my university workload is mad until the middle of June, with performances and an exam, but I'll try my best to update as often as I can.
