UK Vogue & Glamour - The December Issues

The new Vogue cover got me excited as soon as I opened it up fresh from the letterbox. The cover is beautiful! I love the Lara Stone/Mario Testino shoot. I'm yet to read the article but I'm looking forward to it.

There is also a feature which I adore and it fits in with this blog so well. It's called 'Vogue's 30 Ultimate Fashion Adventures'...

Some of my favourites include:

Be the inspiration for a dress...
Wear a Tiara
Own a Chanel handbag
Wear head-to-toe Gareth Pugh when meeting your boyfriends parents
Walk barefoot across Venice's Piazza San Marco at midnight with a full-skirted silk Prada dress billowing around you
Revel in the drama of a Dior Couture show in Paris
Gallop away in a Balenciaga riding hat

Okay, I had to stop myself there... they are so dead on and dreamy...

Of course I had to throw in the essential Ed Westwick posing sesh!

The Gossip Girl cast are truly unstoppable. Gracing the cover of Glamour is my favourite starlet Leighton Meester. I love the Bardot hair they gave her for the feature with the cute 60's dresses - They really suit her. I feel that 'Blair's' style isn't quite so inspiring at the minute, not as much as in previous seasons, so this was refreshing...

I'm also in love with the 'Put a Spin on Cosy' story. The colours and the soft knits are making me crave cute winter-wear and I will be definitely pulling my grey wooly tights back out.

Blair Waldorf

I know she’s a fictional character, but the Gossip Girl character’s style cannot go unnoticed, and it hasn’t. Her role as the high-society queen bee from the upper-east side allows for a fantastic allowance, and with her mother being Eleanor Waldorf, the fictional fashion designer, she’s bound to have chic in her blood. She is most notable for her prim meets preppy wardrobe, brightening up her school uniform with coloured tights, headbands and coats. She never has an off day as far as fashion is concerned, and she is never spotted in trousers, just dresses and skirts, along with neck-scarves, capes, statement bags and cute shoes to complement the outfits. It’s a nice alternative to her more ‘boho’ best friend, Serena Van Der Woodsen, who seems to channel the overused Sienna Miller/Kate Moss look.

Blair’s style is refreshing and inspires me to dress up more every day, instead of just relying on jeans and a cardigan. Even her hair is always immaculate, whether blow dried to perfection or in beautifully neat curls, one thing you’ll never see is Blair Waldorf sporting a greasy ponytail. Attention to details such as her pyjamas have also been made, and makes women envy the perfect state she wakes up in. As the series goes on I’m sure there will be more inspiration from Blair’s closet for female viewers all over; Compliments to the Gossip Girl stylist.
