46. Vanity Fair: September 2010

Ah!  Another Style Issue.  2010- the year I graduated from college, the year I moved to New York City, and the year Conan 'left' the Tonight Show.

I wanted to show you the un-cropped photo of the cover of the magazine.  You can tell I lovingly carried it around for quite a while!

I really enjoyed this Chanel campaign.  So simple.  Such juxtaposition.

 These Tom Ford ads make me swoon.

 Julianne Moore with baby lions?  Can we trade places please?

Chanel party in Malibu.  

Alex Prager photography.  MoMA had an exhibition of her work in 2010.  Very Cindy Sherman/Alfred Hitchcock-esque.

That's all the glossies for today, friends.  Have a happy turkey/ham/chicken/tofu day!

29. Vogue March 2008

Let me first say, I'm sorry for being so long winded with this post. I have extremely fond memories of all of the clothing in the spring 2008 collections- I saw them in Colette, Bon Marche, and Galleries Lafayette while I was studying abroad the summer of 2008. It was the first time I was in the presence of designer clothing. I was able to touch them and feel them and just meet them in person. I also believe that 2008 was kind of the last time that designers were really making clothes that were inspiring and fun and art-like. The economy has been rough on everyone. Designers, retailers, customers. Designers are having to design collections that customers won't buy. Hopefully we'll see a change in this attitude sometime soon. I've missed clothing with personality and life.

This Dolce & Gabbana is so fun. I remember visiting D&G while in Paris and everything was amazing.

This Prada collection was so beautiful with Asian illustrations. Check out those amazing shoes!

I hate to feature two for MK... but these are stunning. I love the small prints.

Chanel

This St. John frock is beautiful.

This dress by Alberta Ferretti is so timeless and history inspired. I want it.

You remember this Hermes campaign with the elephants wearing makeup? I'm surprised they weren't ranked over the coals like Banksy was.

Oh Tom Ford. You are so naughty.

Karen Elsen & Casey Affleck.

Balenciaga. OMG. Those boots.

Bill Blass. I would wear this dress everywhere.

Give me Liberty or give me.....

I have been in love with Liberty of London since last summer when I was studying abroad. Oh it is the most fabulous "department store" ever! Lately I've been daydreaming about Liberty prints and I've been wishing that TOMS would make me a pair of shoes in the Liberty style...
