Fash Weekly: May 2012 Editorial Preview

fash-weekly-may-2012

Each month we bring you a preview of Fash Weekly’s latest editorial, and this month is no exception. For Magazine’s May 2012 Green issue, the cover shoot features clothing from Bungalow (aka one of my fave vintage shops in Toronto) and Cabaret, as well as Magnolia Silver Jewelry. I love the light and feminine feel of the photo above!  I have a feeling I’m really going to like this month’s editorial.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

Fash Weekly: April 2012 Editorial Preview

fash-weekly

Today we bring you a sneak peek at April 2012 Fash Weekly editorial, featuring clothing by Anu Raina, and accessories from Bitter Sweet. Personally, I am intrigued about that pink Peter Pan collar…it makes me wonder whether it’s sold separately, or is a part of the colorful dress. I guess we’ll find out when the flipbook issue becomes available in a couple of days! What do you think of this sneak peek? Share in the comments!

Style Fille: Nicole Richie in Flare Magazine’s April 2012 Issue

flare-magazine-nicole-richie-april-2012

I don’t know about you, but I love Nicole Richie’s style. Her cool Cali boho aesthetic has appealed to me for years, and I truly wish I could pull it off with the same nonchalant ease that Nicole exudes. Needless to say, this month, I can’t wait to pick up Flare Magazine’s April 2012 issue, featuring Nicole on the cover. And what a gorgeous cover it is! Love the combination of mint + white + gold…will need to somehow incorporate it into my own wardrobe this spring.

What do you think of Flare’s April cover? Do you like it? Will you pick up the mag once the issue hits the stands? Share in the comments.

Sasha Pivovarova for H&M Magazine Fall 2010

I went to H&M the other day (no surprise there), and picked up my copy of H&M Magazine. Truth be told, I do think that H&M Mag is oftentimes better than some “real” magazines out there – the stories are interesting, the clothes are affordable and accessible, and editorials, like this one with Sasha Pivovarova, are inspiring and super wearable. I want to copy almost every single look in this spread, and it isn’t difficult, since most pieces are already in my closet.

Friday Faux Pas: Vogue Italia’s Oily Editorial

Really, Steve Meisel? Really now? Models covered in fake oil, spitting out feathers, while wearing expensive couture? Is that supposed to be shocking, or is it mostly tasteless? I lean towards the second. Are we really supposed to look at this photoshoot and admire the beautiful oil-stained clothes? Are we supposed to glamorize oil slicked hair and feathers galore? Am I not getting something?

While the oil is still gushing into the Gulf, tone deaf editorials as this Vogue Italia spread make me really question whether some people would do just about anything to attract some attention. And though this oily shoot is nothing much but slime, I guess if any press is good press, I think their mission is accomplished.

What do you guys think? Am I being too harsh? Is this not insensitive, but creative? Let me know in the comments.

Wednesday Candy: Ken

No, I don’t find Ken attractive. But this Esquire UK editorial, featuring Barbie’s long-time boyfriend definitely put a smile on my face! He totally killed it (in a good way) in Toy Story 3. Every time he appeared on-screen, the audience collapsed in a fit of giggles. So I am very happy that Ken is finally getting his time in the spotlight.

Wearing clothes from Prada, Burberry Prorsum, Paul Smith, and Gucci, Ken’s makeover sure works for me. But his posing, well, let’s just say that he should stop taking modeling tips from Renée Zellweger and Vicky Beckham, if he wants to pull off looking less plastic.

Magnificent Obsession

I am obsessed with this July US Vogue editorial by Peter Lindbergh. Magnificently obsessed. Seeing photos of Natalia and Ewan play house, going from adoring love to cheating, stealing, and leaving, made my heart jump and hurt a little. For Ewan’s character, of course. Aside from the obvious question of “Who would EVER leave Ewan McGregor, if they were lucky enough to have him???”, this editorial is perfection – which is a rarity for US Vogue as of late.

At first, I didn’t want to post Ewan-less photos, but since they are important to the story, I am leaving them in. The funny thing about these, is that the feelings I felt as a teenage girl in love with NSync/BSB/fill-in-the-blank-actor, came back with a vengeance, and here I am, staring at these photos…feeling the same butterflies in the pit of my stomach at a simple sight of a smiling, frowning, drinking his sorrows away Ewan. I saw him at TIFF last year…pretty close too, and yes, he is quite handsome. Very handsome, actually. Short, but oh-so-handsome…and his accent, it just slays me every time.

Anyway, here’s the US Vogue July 2010 editorial, appropriately named “Magnificent Obsession”, featuring #1 on my Freebie Five – Ewan McGregor, with Natalia Vodianova, in a role of his wife. Now, leave me alone, while I day-dream about my own love affair with Mr. McGregor, sans the cheating and stealing, plus lots of kissing and groping. Hope you’re having a great Friday! I know, I am.
