Amber Valletta for Italian Vogue

Amber Valleta has been on the modeling circuit for years now and although she is extremely beautiful, I never really gave her much notice. That is until I saw this March 2011 Italian Vogue pictorial and I was made a fan of Amber!

Of course it took a black bobbed wig, winged eyeliner and sexy 60's inspired ensembles to have me give Amber a second look, but i'm glad I did! She looks absolutely incredible in these photographs! This  further cements the fact that I totally have a type.

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!

Atomica Magazine Issue #4 -We Children at the Zoo

This pictorial done by Atomica Magazine is what I would imagine a present day Heathers would look like,  chic, modern, upscale and very cute. These school girls look cool in crisp white, and bright sherbet colored pinks, reds and oranges. Chicest school uniforms I've ever seen!

Carven Resort 2012

I am so excited! Carven's 2012 Resort line has surfaced! Leave it to Carven to break me from my month long blog-writing block (sorry about that).

 I know i've said it once and i'll say it again - Carven's collections do not disappoint and Carven is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite lines. Oh what I would do for a Carven shopping spree. Sigh.

So please sit back and enjoy Carven's delightful designs for Resort 2012. The (fashion) future is so bright I gotta wear shades!

Chloe Moretz for Nylon May 2011

Oh Chloe! You are doing it so right it's not even funny! While other young Hollywood starlets dress so inappropriate for their age (since when is stylish to be 19 and dressing like a Real Housewife?) and look like clones of one another, you are a stunning little vision in your Nylon Magazine editorial!

Dressed in bold Summer colors and designer duds such as Chanel and Burberry, your style is punchy, playful, Mod inspired, and age appropriate! After all, you're all of what, 14 years old? There is still hope for class, style and refinement in Hollywood! Keep up the good work Miss Moretz!

Update on my life...

I apologize boys and girls for not posting for some while. Please know that in order for me to neglect my beloved blog, something catastrophic must have happened. In this case I call the catastrophe strep throat.

Over the long Memorial Day weekend, I had started to feel under the weather. And with what started as chills, body aches and a minor sore throat - was a full on strep throat by the time I had to go to Urgent Care on Tuesday.

And while I won't bore you will the details of high fevers, not eating for 5 days and pure hell, I did miss work for an entire week and lost 8 lbs. I guess thats the silver lining to this if there is one- a vacay and shedding pounds.

Now one can't plan these illnesses but mine couldn't come at a worse time. I had put in my 2 weeks at Dear Creatures just the week before and the week I was out with strep throat, was actually suppose to be my last week because, (drum roll please) I start my new gig tomorrow at -

So now that the strep throat is over and done with (good riddance!) and I am excited and positive about taking a new step in my life!

Let the good times begin!
