Aaaah September...

  

Been pouring over the September Issues lately. Something I look forward to every year. More to come on what I am drawn to this fall but for now just a few shots from this layout in US Vogue titled "Sweater Girl" featuring Lara Stone looking quite lovely. The tones in the bottom photo are especially nice. Now, if the weather could not be 86 degrees today I would be feeling much happier. How about a nice crisp 58 degrees?

Spring Is Here &...

Spring is officially here and I pretty much want everyone to look like this now. I know. I know. I never shut up about Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum but get real with this collection. I've got the pale thing working for me but I just don't know how to get this thin without breaking the law. The plaid lining in the blazer towards the bottom... I'd take take a bullet for that tartan.

Mens Fashion Week FW09...

So Mens Fall Fashion Week coincided with Sundance therefore I am way behind on checking out all the goods. So far it is pretty obvious that the word "recession" is officially in the air. Basics in neutral colors (mostly black) are coursing through the veins of menswear. That being said, it is still is looking pretty good to me. I immediately went to two of my favorites and yep, there are a few things I would gladly accept as gifts. First Dries Van Noten and secondly Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum.






If anyone needs to know sizing for me just let me know. Also, is it wrong that I sort of really like that white tie on the last shirt? A little Amish chic never hurt anybody, right?

Lula #7

Took a bit of time today and really got lost in the latest issue of Lula Magazine. This issue (and the magazine in general) is ridiculously good. From the paper grade to the color to the styling to the interviews it is just spot on. You should really check it out. That is if you can even find it. Salt Lake really needs a great mag shop. Dear B&N, it was seriously hard finding this mag. Good thing I am not afraid to dig. I found one copy on the last row of the middle shelf of "lifestyles" tucked behind some tattoo monthly...what?

There were two covers. I of course only had the choice of one and I got Audrey with the wild eyes up top. Given the choice, I would probably have bought that one anyway. I think redheads get a real bad rap sometimes and this cover is great. i do however think this Ali Michael cover below is stunning. Also, her layout is beautiful and interesting. These are just a few of the images from it.

Thanks Rodarte...

So I have been consumed with fashion lately (no surprise) and I have been especially consumed with Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte. I was watching videos of their shows and just wanted to thank them for introducing me to two albums that I am listening to non-stop lately. So i know the video is over a year old as are the albums but it is all worth a look and listen. Warning: This is a nearly 10 minute long video of a fashion show. I have been mocked in the past for long clips. So only click play if you want to be dazzled by painstakingly beautiful clothes, gorgeous models and great music!!


So the two songs that I really love are the first and third. The first is To The East by Electrelane off of the album No Shouts, No Calls.


The third song is Have You Seen In Your Dreams by Miracle Fortress off of the album Five Roses.
I was laughing about the cover of Miracle Fortress' album. i mean no offense because the album is BRILLIANT! But your name is so new age and this sort of looks like a Disney Princess Tribute album. But seriously you should check both of these out. Also, if you are super hip and have one a them fancy iphones you should use that neat thing that tells what song your hearing and leave in the comments who all the other songs are by.

Oh and go check out all the insane photos and videos and beauty of Rodarte here.

Ju-Ju-Junkie

New York Fashion Week is almost over. I am a JUNKIE. I spend more time on the internet during these times than the rest of the year. I will wait for more before I post all my favorites but I had to do a quick post on 3.1 Phillip Lim.


Um, this is cuter than all baby animals combined.



My bday is right around the corner and I if anybody as stumped... I WANT THESE FRAMES.


I know we saw the zipper detailing last season but I think this is shown in such a fresh way.


Amanda, you are killing me on the runway right now. First you in that Dries Van Noten dress at the FW08 show and now this? Keep it up.


All the accessories were amazing. These big stained glass necklaces. Phillip...too good.

Olympic Style

So my good friend Heather tipped me off to this cool Olympic inspired layout with model Ali Stephens. Check it out here. It is short but very cool. The opening ceremonies were amazing. Thanks to my sis and DVR I was able to see the highlights. That drumming in the beginning was insane and so powerful. China is really doing it right.

Local Girl Explodes!

I admit that I am a bit of a modelizer. I have been following the career of Salt Lake's own Ali Stephens and now I just have to show that she has exploded recently in the fashion industry. Here are just a few of my favorites from Paris fashion week.
