UK Glamour March 2010

And this is why I love UK Glamour - their shoots are always so bright, cute and fun...

Notice the little feature on ladies in red? See my red themed post for more scarlett inspiration.

All images are my own so please credit my blog if you chose to repost them. Thanks!

Glossy Delivery

The new Vogue and Glamour (UK) just came in the post...

I'm not particularly excited by either of these covers, in all honesty. Though I am warming to the Chanel clogs, weirdly. I have a big craving for a pair of chunky wooden heeled shoes/sandals for the summer, so this probably has something to do with it.

Anyway, I'll flick through and post any photoshoots if I find some that I reallllly like.

VERY busy week gone by!

I've been interning in the Glamour fashion cupboard, can't believe my first week is already over! It has been tiring and at times stressful (no thanks to the ridiculous 48 hour tube strike), but as I keep saying, the girls there are sooo lovely :)

The closet is filled with sequinned garments, mostly of the blazer variety! (see previous posts - clearly dying for one)

Pure torture.

The pristine glossy barbie pink Loubou's that arrived for Karen today almost made me weep!

I'm a bit gutted that Oasis' sequinned copy of the Balmain dresses have already sold out - theyve been floating around and I was blissfully unaware that they were already on sale :/

Anyhows, something more interesting in the coming days perhaps as I adjust more to my 9.30-5.30 schedule.

OH!

PS. I'm off to see Britney tomorrow night!!!! Childhood dream come true :D

Catch Up...

Well, not that there's much to catch up on. I may have been a bit out of the loop but there doesn't seem to be much happening right now in the wonderful world of fashion. This leads to a lack of inspiration.

However, for a change, I enjoyed reading the new Vogue today. Despite being a subscriber, I rarely make my way through the whole issue lately. This month's issue is allll about bodies. Cue envy-inducing shoots with a naked Natalia Vodianova (no way has she had 3 kids?!) and a beautifully busty Lara Stone. Note to self: Invest in a scanner!

I found Christa D'Souza's article on her obsessive weight control very interesting to read. Lately I've been getting quite strict with my food* (if we ignore todays unusual binge) and I generally dont tend to crave chocolate anymore.

*Not in a concern-raising way may I add.

Reading about other people's eating habits interests me for some reason...

Anyways, if you're into all that then it's a good issue to buy if you dont plan to already. I'm always amazed at how large their word counts must be! Articles going on for pages and pages...

Oh and news on the Glamour placement. I was invited a few months back to start in June, but they needed extra help in the office last week so called me in to lend a hand. I was in the fashion closet most of the day and almost cried at the wall full of (mostly) Louboutins. And a floor covered in Chanel jewellery. I'm so excited to go back - everyone there is soooo so lovely! More than I could've possibly imagined. I know that sounds bad, but I watched The Devil Wears Prada for the millionth time a few nights before and got the nerves/fear of nasty fashion people?

Anyhow, I'm off to read more blogs for inspiration/catch up on the new Gossip Girl... This episode looks so good I think I may DIE! (Also been watching the Rachel Zoe Project, quite obviously...)

Ciaoo :) x

Oh dear...

I haven't posted in SO long! I just seem to have deadline after deadline at the minute, and I visited my boyfriend for a long weekend too, so I've neglected this poor little blog. I must get into the habit of fitting this in.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little uninspired by the A/W shows, so maybe i'll wait a bit before I reference them on my blog again. I'm just getting worked up for the summer and wearing pretty colourful dresses, so I'm not in the frame of mind to accept all the grays, blacks and navys floating around and merging into one dark wooly coat.

I'm posting the final 3 images from the photoshoot that my friend Vicky and I shot and styled for a university project. In the end we decided it best suited Plastique magazine...

The theme is underwear as outerwear - a trend you may have noticed me blog about previously.
MASSIVE THANK YOU to Emily ('Between Peace & Happiness'-blog), our dear friend, who insanely agreed to model in lingerie at midnight in the freezing cold. We love you for it, and you look amazing! I'm sure everyone will agree...

To finish off, I have awesome news: I have bagged myself a placement at my number one dream magazine that I've always wanted to work for - Glamour! Ahhhh! It's only a month long but I am so excited. I can't actually believe it will my first placement at a magazine, and at my favourite one too. My love for them clearly came through very well in the cover letter, which I put my heart and soul into. Just as I was about to give up on the idea of getting a placement at a magazine this summer as well...

Hope everyone is well x
