UK Glamour March 2010

And this is why I love UK Glamour - their shoots are always so bright, cute and fun...

Notice the little feature on ladies in red? See my red themed post for more scarlett inspiration.

The new Vogue and Glamour (UK) just came in the post...

I'm not particularly excited by either of these covers, in all honesty. Though I am warming to the Chanel clogs, weirdly. I have a big craving for a pair of chunky wooden heeled shoes/sandals for the summer, so this probably has something to do with it.

Anyway, I'll flick through and post any photoshoots if I find some that I reallllly like.

UK Vogue & Glamour - The December Issues

The new Vogue cover got me excited as soon as I opened it up fresh from the letterbox. The cover is beautiful! I love the Lara Stone/Mario Testino shoot. I'm yet to read the article but I'm looking forward to it.

There is also a feature which I adore and it fits in with this blog so well. It's called 'Vogue's 30 Ultimate Fashion Adventures'...

Some of my favourites include:

• Be the inspiration for a dress...
  
• Wear a Tiara
  
• Own a Chanel handbag
  
• Wear head-to-toe Gareth Pugh when meeting your boyfriends parents
  
• Walk barefoot across Venice's Piazza San Marco at midnight with a full-skirted silk Prada dress billowing around you
  
• Revel in the drama of a Dior Couture show in Paris
  
• Gallop away in a Balenciaga riding hat
  
  

Okay, I had to stop myself there... they are so dead on and dreamy...

Of course I had to throw in the essential Ed Westwick posing sesh!



The Gossip Girl cast are truly unstoppable. Gracing the cover of Glamour is my favourite starlet Leighton Meester.

I love the Bardot hair they gave her for the feature with the cute 60's dresses - They really suit her. I feel that 'Blair's' style isn't quite so inspiring at the minute, not as much as in previous seasons, so this was refreshing...

I'm also in love with the 'Put a Spin on Cosy' story. The colours and the soft knits are making me crave cute winter-wear and I will be definitely pulling my grey wooly tights back out.

LFW - the rest

Today was exciting!

I didn't bother trying to get into any shows but I saw !!Anna Wintour!!, Lara Stone, Freja Beha Erichsen and Erin O'Connor - for the millionth time over the past few weeks - within metres of where I was standing (people watching is the best at fashion week) along with the whole UK Vogue and Glamour team and many other infamous fashion journalists, all arriving at Somerset House for the Jaeger show.
My papparazi skills are pretty shocking but I managed to get a few snaps.

Lara <3

This is Freja, my camera didn't have time to adjust to the light, or lack thereof haha

Jason Gardiner?

Naomi - Fierce!

Oh yeah, I pearled out my Blackberry Pearl :)

All images quite obviously taken by me - awful haha

I'm back!

There have been a major lack of posts I know, it's because I was on holiday in Florida for two weeks.

I'm now back in London town and a little depressed with the lack of palm trees/heat and the general greyness here. I bought Teen Vogue at the airport yesterday, the September issue with Taylor Momsen on the cover. I always enjoy Teen Vogue's fashion shoots but too often their cover stars put me off, probably being that I can't relate to disney stars so much as the likes of Rachel Bilson and the Gossip Girl cast.

The thing I always love about Teen Vogue is that they take fashion seriously but still have fun with it making their features colourful and playful. I think this is what also draws me to UK Glamour, Lula and Material Girl. The prospect of winter fashion is often dull for me, so Teen Vogue was just what I needed to get me excited for winter wardrobe shopping. I was going to dedicate a post to this but after a hunt for winter fashion it seems that summer isnt quite over enough and there isn't a great deal to look at.

Nevertheless, my hunt for the perfect over-knee boots will continue, and as soon as bold scarves and statement coats are on the rails I will be picking out my favourites to share with you all :)


Hope youre all having a good summer! x

BusyBusyBusy

VERY busy week gone by!

I've been interning in the Glamour fashion cupboard, can't believe my first week is already over! It has been tiring and at times stressful (no thanks to the ridiculous 48 hour tube strike), but as I keep saying, the girls there are sooo lovely :)

The closet is filled with sequinned garments, mostly of the blazer variety! (see previous posts - clearly dying for one)

Pure torture.

The pristine glossy barbie pink Loubou's that arrived for Karen today almost made me weep!

I'm a bit gutted that Oasis' sequinned copy of the Balmain dresses have already sold out - theyve been floating around and I was blissfully unaware that they were already on sale :/

Anyhows, something more interesting in the coming days perhaps as I adjust more to my 9.30-5.30 schedule.

OH!

PS. I'm off to see Britney tomorrow night!!!! Childhood dream come true :D

Catch Up...

Well, not that there's much to catch up on. I may have been a bit out of the loop but there doesn't seem to be much happening right now in the wonderful world of fashion. This leads to a lack of inspiration.

However, for a change, I enjoyed reading the new Vogue today. Despite being a subscriber, I rarely make my way through the whole issue lately. This month's issue is allll about bodies. Cue envy-inducing shoots with a naked Natalia Vodianova (no way has she had 3 kids?!) and a beautifully busty Lara Stone. Note to self: Invest in a scanner!

I found Christa D'Souza's article on her obsessive weight control very interesting to read. Lately I've been getting quite strict with my food* (if we ignore todays unusual binge) and I generally dont tend to crave chocolate anymore.

*Not in a concern-raising way may I add.

Reading about other people's eating habits interests me for some reason...

Anyways, if you're into all that then it's a good issue to buy if you dont plan to already. I'm always amazed at how large their word counts must be! Articles going on for pages and pages...

Oh and news on the Glamour placement. I was invited a few months back to start in June, but they needed extra help in the office last week so called me in to lend a hand. I was in the fashion closet most of the day and almost cried at the wall full of (mostly) Louboutins. And a floor covered in Chanel jewellery. I'm so excited to go back - everyone there is soooo so lovely! More than I could've possibly imagined. I know that sounds bad, but I watched The Devil Wears Prada for the millionth time a few nights before and got the nerves/fear of nasty fashion people?

Anyhow, I'm off to read more blogs for inspiration/catch up on the new Gossip Girl... This episode looks so good I think I may DIE! (Also been watching the Rachel Zoe Project, quite obviously...)

Ciaoo :) x
