Frida Gustavsson for Elle Sweden

Behold Miss Frida Gustavsson in a picturesque photo shoot for Elle Sweden. Miss Gustavsson graces the pages of Elle wearing 1940's influenced frocks by Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana & Sonia Rykiel. But of course what really stole my affection in this photo shoot are those ridiculously enamoring collars! I could never have too many collars in my life.

Alison Nix for Elle Russia

Honestly, I need a subscription to Russian Elle! The European counterparts to the American magazines simply blow the us out of the water (in my opinion) the feature less celebrities (I'm so sick of seeing the same 5 celebrities on every magazine cover!) and the styling and pictorials suit my taste way better than the American magazines do. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a sucker for our big, glossy- paged fashion mags, its just that Europe is doing things a little more my style!

When I ran into these pictures featured in Elle Russia's July 2010 issue, I was so giddy I jumped right out of my chair and squealed with utter delight! Who is this model in my dream wardrobe looking perfectly mod, cool and oh-so-fun!?

The answer is America's own Alison Nix! Those European magazines may have all the right styling and looks, but in this case we have the right girl! USA! USA! WOO!

So please enjoy this fresh faced American model playing it up in a futuristic space-aged Mod look for the Russian zines!

I've spent WEEKS admiring these pictures already! This is one editorial that will never get old!

Cecilia Mendez for Korean ELLE GIRL October 2007

My favorite model in the world, Cecilia Mendez, putting the cute in Korean ELLE GIRL magazine!

I have yet to see my darling Cecilia in any US publications. Maybe America isn't ready for my girl! 

Oh heart be still!
