Constance Jablonski plays the role of a spoiled rich girl to the T in October's Harper’s Bazaar Russia. Photographed by Joshua Jordan, Constance has everything a girl could want–sweet treats, a pet dog and a swank wardrobe styled by Natalia Alaverdian. Who says you can’t have it all? The Song that pulls this shoot together is I would think If I was a Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani. Yes, I do like to coordinate songs with editorials!

Bedknobs and Broomsticks

Sheer witchery takes place in Ellen von Unwerth's "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." A redheaded Audrey Marney casts spells, charms, and a little voodoo magic in this 2008 Lula spread. Personally I'm a Twilight "vamp girl" myself. Next year I think I'll be Victoria! But this Unwerth spread enchanted viewer like myself so much it was the foundationing of my Halloween costume for Hockingson's Night Out at the High School!

Fashion photographer Paolo Roversi created a surreal “dream” in the October issue of W magazine. Roversi’s photographs often resemble historical nineteenth-century photographs, and the with the help of stylist Alex White and models Monika Jagaciak, Darya Kurovska, Dorothea Barth Jorgensen and Regina Feoktistova clad in couture, he was able to create the illusion of a “Dream Sequence”, a perfectly moody editorial for Fall.

Cato Van in German Vogue September 2009

This is one of my favrotie shorts in this editorial, but my zooming hand isn't strong enough sadly for the list of the peices used.

This shot combines the magic of Dries van Noten for the vest, Versace for the chiffon blouse, Tommy Hilfiger bib front blouse, and a Hermes belt. What has me drawed in is the nails for some reason, if you look close enough.

I couldn't translate it due to it's repeling nature for zoom! Sorry for the inconvenience.

I can't ephasize how much I'd like everyone to click on these images, they are much more gorgeous than at this state in larger form! This editorial is from Vogue Germany in the September 2009 edition.

One of Anja Rubik's many Numero appearences...

This editorial features Anja Rubik photographed by Greg Kadel in Numero. It's from a long time ago, April 2005's issue, but my love for it has grown. The editorial featured here in Numero is called "Neither Angel Nor Demon"

Help!

Hey everyone! I am completely Lost! I really want to learn how to format pictures on my blog's posts side-by-side, but as you can see, I have only done them up and down because I have no clue how to situate them in a more clean cut fashion! If anyone knows how, I'd be very appreciative. I'm so desperate, I will do free advertiseing on my blog for anyone who offers me help on it.

In the meantime of my crisis, enjoy this Kate Moss photo from http://shakespeareandchanel.blogspot.com/
The platform heels are evidently Nina Ricci from a recent Fall collection, thank goodness Kate doesn't have to run in those!
Please be as specific as you can! I'm illiterate when it comes to techie stuff.

Ugh!!!!

Upon my arrival in London today, I have a disaster occur... I lost alll of my pictures for blogging! What a time for this to happen! Fortunately I can reconnect a few, but I'm going to make doubly sure I back up my pictures with more than a jump drive my mother threw out!~ What am I to do?

Burberry Prosum Resort 2010

Here's some peices from the London native brand, Bruberry Prosum's 2010 Resort line I adore. I especially love the two sets on the upper right corner. Like old English lace victorian.

I have seriosuly seen girls in IMG/Elite/Ford in younger form of every one of these models, from the left there's Coco (Roxana), Aline (Bridget), Tarana (Kayla), Tayrn D. (Viendetta) cool huh? Tell me what cha' think!

It is cool to love khaki - take it from Alexander Wang, Vena Cava, and Albertus Swanepoel. This year's Vogue finalists have joined forces with Gap to bring you their versions of the classic khaki, instead of the usual white shirts. These range from dresses to hats to jackets.

I felt that after two years of doing white shirts, it was time to stay current and stay cool but also stay Gap and keep surprising the customer," said Patrick Robinson, Gap's executive vice president of design.

And guess what angels? Models who have done Alexander Wang get first pick!!!! So excited, so if you have any models who have worked on any of these designer's clothing on the runway, you can expect to see them wearing the clothing soon enough!! Ask for a free sample size, because they can get these clothes for free sure enough, if not the clothes will hit Gap stores two months later.

Jimmy Choo for H&M

OH MY GOSH! Those were my first words when I came across this glorious piece of news.
Fashionistas, fashion enthusiasts… whatever you want to call them, they all know of the shoe god that is Jimmy Choo. A brand which is coveted by many, Jimmy Choo has carved himself a niche in the shoe industry, which results in everyone – and I mean everyone – wanting a pair of his expertly designed shoes. As one of the CBL shoe gods – Choo, Blahnik, Louboutin – every shoe-a-holic would trade in their prized possessions to be fitted into Choo’s designs. The shoe god’s have answered their prayers.
The luxury company has announced that they will work with Swedish high street store (and king of designer collaborations) to create a line of shoes and bags.
But this isn’t the first designer collaboration by H&M. The popular store has taken the likes of Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Karl under their wing, as well as Madonna and Kylie Minogue.
Tamara Mellon, president of Jimmy Choo, said: “We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too. Jimmy Choo will bring to H+M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!”
Shoes… Bags… all that’s missing are some rocking clothes. Not to worry, Jimmy Choo is designing a range of clothing to complement the to-die-for accessories.
Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor of H&M, said. “I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorise the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection. It’s a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers.”
The collection is due to appear around 200 H&M shops worldwide on November 14. The collection is predicted to sell out in record time, so heels at the ready girls… There’s a fight ahead. Let the best shoe addict win!

Emma Watson for Burberry

Dark, smoky eye makeup… windswept hair… A far cry from Emma Watson’s more atypical attire of wizard robes. Her latest incarnation it seems is the face of designer heavyweight and British fashion label, Burberry.

Now, I’m very interested in designer housing produce, I work in a internship for modeling agencies for Chrsit's sake. There clothes are glorious, but that’s expected. Smaller designers usually tickle my fancy (and my purse) more. But after seeing Emma Watson~ the wizard I grew up admiring – posing for Burberry, I was ecstatic.
The 19 year-old actress utilizes her grown up, sophisticated look, as she models items signature to Burberry, sporting the iconic Burberry check instead of the flowing Hogwarts robes we are used to seeing her in.
Growing up in the public eye, the Harry Potter actress has been reserved and sophisticated. From being the face of Chanel, to wearing Alexander McQueen on the red carpet, and modelling in fashion publications, Emma Watson has solidified her role as a style icon, at such a young age.
Christopher Bailey, Creative Director of Burberry said: “Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign. Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm and intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.”
Shot by renowned fashion photographer Mario Testino, directed by fashion prodigy Christopher Bailey and modelled by style icon Emma Watson? This generation’s fashion talent was at full force as the campaign was shot in Westminster, Central London, where the brand recently moved headquarters. With the River Thames distinctly present in the background, Bailey aimed to capture a ‘wonderfully historic part of London’ to reflect the history and modern take present in the brand.
A collaboration of old world heritage and budding young stars captures sporting perfectly tailored trench coats is bang on target! Emma Watson has definitely captured the essence of a Burberry campaign, with a touch of magic and je ne sais quoi!

I however beleive Emma Watson also wows us all as a model, actress, and fashion icon!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

I'm so in sorrow! Out of respect for the King of Pop, R.I.P. michael Jackson. His voice was chosen to be the opening of a portion of Jean Paul's fall/winter show one year, and the Jean Paul Gaultier Magnifique fall/winter the same year! The song he was famous for, "Thriller" specifically! I'm shocked he passed away! Here's to you Michael!
