Lara Does Spring 08

Just stumbled on this editorial form Self Service's spring/summer 08 issue. Love that it features some of my favorite pieces from that season - the Margiela dreamy horse print, Balmain fringing (Decarnin's Spring 08 collection is still one of my favorites he has ever done) and some of my beloved Chanel stars - that I mentioned only yesterday. I also love Lara in this - soft and natural, not as overtly sexy as she is often portrayed.

Dress Up

So I seriously need some fun going out dresses.. Had a massive outfit meltdown while getting dressed on saturday night; tears, insecurity, the works - classic Dumb Girl moment. Something must be done.

I really want something with sleeves - as my total lack of circulation means I feel the cold terribly. I want sparkles, metallic, lace, details and monochrome.

Featuring: Balmain, Christopher Kane, Stella McCartney, Ellery, Bec & Bridge,

Oceans Blue

This is how swimsuit eds should be done - so far from vulgar or tacky or blatant. Yet they still have a captivatingly dirty/sexy quality (in the best possible way). I'm loving anything in gathered/tied/twisted white tshirting at the moment - top faves of mine done by Alexander Wang and Karla Spetic. I love how the classic swimwear is paired with iconic, tough pieces like the studded leather, denim and leopard. Takes it totally away from the beach.

 

Ps: Anyone else miss summer already? I do.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala 09: Neo-Supers

Unsurprisingly, the models kicked ass on the red carpet at The Met Ball. The neo-supers all looked mind blowing - and super fresh. This is why they are payed the big bucks and front pretty much everything. They look to die for on the runway, in editorial, in candids and on the red carpet.

My three all time faves looked stunning. Trust Erin to blow everyone away in some insane zipped leather pants. That girl is an icon. Sasha looks absolutely ethereal and yet somehow earthy at the same time. I LOVE her hair. Best of the night. Daria gives a tiny sparkly dress edge and mystery (total opposite of what we saw on Giselle).

The other big names looked amazing too. Anja is made for Balmain (her shoulders do worry me somewhat though...). Miranda manages to be super sexy but not vulgar. Caroline looks like a total princess - every girls dream, and I could SO see that dress on an Olsen (probably MK). I can't tell you how much Im dying for that insane chainmail dress by Alexander Wang that Lara is wearing. She's got the figure to wear it instead of it wearing her.

J'adore Lara

 Here are some of my favorite of the first shots that have surfaced from French Vogue's Lara issue - dedicated entirely to Lara Stone. The girl is really growing on me - she's stunnin, womanly and strong - and looks human! Sexy and sensual but never vulgar. And makes me want to bleach my eyebrows haha!

Russh: Shanay Hall

I found this old Russh shoot of Shanay Hall today (she's a fave of theirs - its rare that she isn't in an issue). Love this shoot; clothes, lighting, mood etc etc. She's gorgeous as well - definitely has a Lara Stone quality don't you think?
