from russia, with love

Loving this spread from Vogue Russia's March issue. I would live in a retro palace and pretend I was a rock 'n roll party girl if I thought I could get away with it...

Numéro #124

Oh. Em. Gee.* This spread from Numéro is *killing* me with it's fierce-ness. The hair, the mixed prints, the overall styling, I can't handle it. I want to be this girl. I want my hair to be that big and my life to be that fabulous. To quote Rachel Zoe, "I die." I'm tempted to order an archive copy of this issue so I can keep this in my personal archives forever and ever.

I couldn't decide which ones to leave out because I'm obsessed with them all. So, enjoy!

little bread and butterflies kiss the tulips...

This amazing spread from the July issue of Dazed & Confused magazine is exactly the brightly colored pick-me-up I need today. I can't get enough of the ruffles, pleats, mixed prints, texture, bold colors, etc, etc, etc.

dark shadows

True Blood doesn't return to the television until June. But this spread from the March issue of Harper's Bazaar should help tide you over til then.

 (Clemence Posey+Karl Lagerfeld)+pops of red(photos - color) ÷ vampires =  Stunning photos. And the tagline on one of them couldn't be more perfect: Sometimes style simply runs in your blood.

Happy Weekend!

swoonsday

This weeks swoonsday cutie doesn't need much of an introduction. Jake Gyllenhaal has been stealing hearts for quite some time. He can sing, he can do comedy, he can be a serious actor, and he's pretty easy on the eyes--pretty much the total package.
