6. Nylon Magazine October 2006


Love this ad for Chuck Taylors. Blue & Red=Boy & Girl in my book.

This issue had a really neat article on American Apparel, a company that has been under the spotlight lately... well let's be honest, always. Did you know that it takes 11 seconds to sew one short sleeved t-shirt? Employees make $14-$16 dollars an hour depending on their lightness of presser foot.

Another goody to wear to my new underwear commune (which is officially going to start at my dear friend, Sam's house... sometime after this bad winter weather subsides). Bra is by Trashy Lingerie.

Beck is the man.

There was the neatest piece on visiting Havana, Cuba. I am now obsessed and need this whole communism/'let's hate Americans' thing to be over and done with so I can visit this enchanting place. Ernest Hemingway would definitely approve.

Take Kirsten Dunst out of this photo and insert a picture of me. I love Jason Schwartzman.

If every issue of Nylon magazine were as amazing as this one, I would never let my subscription expire.

1. Nylon Magazine February 2011


I've never met a husky that I didn't like.... I dream of dogs.

I am loving American Apparel's latest crop of ads out right now... The headline typeface, the little blurb about the model, and the absence of lewdness.

Model Emma Karlsson is all over this magazine. I counted her appearances... uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco... cinco (that's five). Five times she appears in this month's issue! And I think she's absolutely adorable. I love her blond hair. (I've always wanted to be a blond!) I love how her roots need to be done... and I love her smoky eyes. Yay Emma.

This is from the "Pretty in Pink" spread photographed by Anouck Bertin. Model Camille Rowe looks a little like Anna Paquin's little sister... and I love the use of white walls to make the pink hues pop. It was very reminiscent of old school American Apparel ads. (But let's be honest, they'll probably be back...)

This photo makes me want to go to MAC right now to buy bright colored lipsticks.

I LOVE THESE SHORTS.

This month's issue of Nylon wasn't very impressive to me. I wasn't interested in much of the content... Although I love Cut/Copy and am definitely interested in the film 'The Woodmans'. I recently decided to end my subscription. I just can't get into it anymore! Maybe I'm just too old.
