Oh the horror!

Fang-tastic ;) Karen Walker's new promos for her s/s 09 line, shot by Derek Kettela, channel an inspiration everyone's favourite night crawler Edward Cullen would be proud of. Even the most sun shy are invited to "Celebrate Sun". Time to vamp it up!

Love life

So the big day is almost upon us...and no I'm not talking about Valentines!
Love magazine, the brain child of Katy Grand and all her ex-Pop team will be launching tomorrow. The cover image has been released and I'm getting serious deja-vu ala Ditto's NME cover...
Due to the fact that the magazine is still being printed, the launch which was scheduled today at Harvey Nichols has been shortened to tomorrow at Dover Street Market, which was initially the second day of launch. Though personally I would have gone to that day either way as the ad suggests there'll be clothing acessories from the creme de la creme of London's fashion elite. P.s. Luella anyone?!

I really like the colours of the image, and I can't wait to see what the magazine will be like and land myself a copy...

I need to stop blogging about Gossip Girl...

The rumours are circulating that Chanel Iman will be appearing on Gossip Girl. Because there aren't enough good looking people in the programme already obviously...
This follows reports that the Misshapes and Adam Green will be appearing in an episode revolving around a party of Serena's.
Is this move to feature Chanel an effort to snag more 'fashion conscious' viewers and well as the tweens?
To be honest, I don't care either way: I love Chanel!

In other, more confusing GG news, Ed Westwick is set to feature in next month's Harpers Bazaar in a shoot with Helena Christensen. The photos really speak for themself...but they also kind of don't as Ed looks photoshopped in on most of them...and what's with all the cougar-ey action going on here?! Well at leats it's a step up for Ed from K-Swiss.
Is it also a little weird that it's almost feasable she could be his mum?Come now Ed, what would Vanessa/Jessica say?!?

To see more of the Terry Richardson 'graduate' shoot gohere!

Gonna party like its yerrr birthday

I'm 19 this week, which means besides the combo of reaching my last year as a teen (*sob*) I am also allowed to window shop in an excessive manner, and imagine what I could get if I won the lottery (as if I ever even play) or I was dating the nice Chuck Bass.

What is a birthday without cake?! And I am definitely a little bit of a cake person. okay, a LOT of a cake person...giant cupcake from lola's

Any variation, any colour, any height, any time.It's love. Rodarte shoes.

Nicoline Patricia Malina

Photographer Nicoline Patricia Malina won the 2007 Iconique Societás Excellence in Fashion Photography Awards by reimagining the theme 'Fête des Fleurs' (Party of Flowers). I really love how the top image is almost like a waterclour painting.

Love bug

As the launch of the mysterious Love magazine draws closer, more details are slipping out. Fashionista (.com) have unearthed this image featured in this month's vogue which I didn't really want to buy on principle ( sorry Cheryl, nothing personal!).

Is it me or is the logo completely not what you would expect, given the title?
Also, the styling they've used on Agyness reminds me (apart from the Queen, obv) of the shoot she did with Tim Walker and Luke Worrall in Vogue last year.

Either way, the advert clarifies the launch of the magazine and it's date (Feb 19th).
The location and suppliers on the other hand, still have to be announced..

With spring summer on the way (yeah, i know, hard to believe with all the snow we've been getting recently...) there is one thing to look forward to besides mildly warmer temperatures...the s/s lookbooks!

I love Elen Usdin's photography for Lanvin's lookbook...



Wanting to don rabbit ears ala the new sass and bide..


...and the hair of Gemma Degara's model...


not to mention the jeremy scott for adidas collecton that will be released Feb the 1st...
