ELLE: Reporting Trend

There's something magical to me about this structured, forward style of dressing that just takes me back to the times I idolized Lois Lane and her ability to get her story. And her man. Who doesn't love a good reporter with a quick tongue, smart mouth and sexy hair? Yeah, exactly!

I was completely enamored with this ELLE spread that featured tones of neutrals, a bold dash of color, pants and more pants, and the fabulous flouncy golden brown hair.

You can always do 'casual' reporter by pairing your skinny jeans with nude pumps, a trench coat and a structured purse.

Editorial: InStyle Morena Baccarin

I received my copy of InStyle last night and I have to say it's my favorite for a while. Full of goodies and celebs I love. One of which is this stunning Brazilian beauty, Morena Baccarin. I have been a fan of Morena for a few years now, since I enjoyed her portrayal in 'Firefly' as the classy high-class prostitute, a great discovery by Joss Whedon. Yes, I'm a nerd too.

Granted the tribal prints being sported all over is just not my style but I had to give pointers to InStyle because Morena looks FANTASTIC in these. She, like Carey Mulligan, are my current favorite 'short haired' girls. I think she looks absolutely amazing with her cropped her, reminds me of Demi Moore circa. Ghost.

Like I said, the crazy tribal prints is so not me but on Morena? They absolutely rock! And I would like to point out to the Brian Atwood shoes she's wearing in the last photo. Too gorgeous for words.

How are you feeling about the tribal prints?

Elle: Lacey-Affair

I'm going to try to be better than update my blog daily... I've been neglecting it so I promise to try. So on with the show...

I think it's not big secret that I love all things girly and feminine.So you can imagine my drooling campaign when I saw this new Elle editorial. I've been behind on my magazine reading but I opened to this sweet surprise.

Lace, lace and MORE lace! Sweet things that look like they belong in a candy shop! The ballerina flats, the lacey bras, the silken pants <3 <3 <3

The trick, of course, is how to wear it in the everyday life :) That's when I come in. (forgive my choppy scan, I'm not exactly known for my technical skills)

How to use these? The trick is not going overboard with the lace, select an item of clothing or a couple of accessories. Dont dress from head to toe in lace because you'll look like me, circa 1994. It was not a good time.

Editorial: Ethreal Natalie

One magazine I am dying to get my hands on and that is UK's Elle because how stunning does Natalie Portman look in it? I think I'm speechless, it's stunning!

 

All the 'dirty' Chanel made me just want the entire photoshoot look! Check out the pouffy sleeves! I LOVE pouffy sleeves!

Editorial Lust: Bring on the Noir

As promised, more from my lovely Vogue Italia find. I have been MIA this week, I agree, mostly because the Holidays were enough to keep me VERY busy. I hope everyone's Holidays were fabulous, I have some good plans for the blog this week :)

How absolutely FABULOUS is this editorial? I mean... I have no words, one of my favorite editorials to date.

To get these mod curls, blow dry your hair. Then divide hair into like 6 partitions and twist into tiny buns, secure with some hair rubber bands:

@ walgreens

and leave in buns for at least 30-45min. Let loose and you should have bouncing curls with no need to fry hair with the curling iron. Runs your fingers lightly through the curls and add some serum is frizzy. You can pin to the side with some bobby pins to finish the look.

That's AMORE!!

It's hard to find different nationalities Vogues here so I was super surprised when searching for warmth in Salt Lake City this weekend, life brought me to this just awesome little used books, eccentric magazines and rare publications store. I spent a good 2 hours there just perusing the isles filled with old 1950's magazines of Cowboys and Indians. On my way out I was surprised to find Vogue Italia for Nov 09. Of course bought it and I have been happily reading it since then. Here is a few lovely scans of the 'Beauty In' issue. I have some more I will post later

Bella, no? Have I mentioned lately how much I simply adore the mid-twentieth century looks that dominate fashion lately? I didn't??? Let me do it now! :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!!
