Curves Ahead!

Brava Franca Sozzani, Brava!!!! I'm so excited about this post. I can't help but make it personal. Vogue Italia's June 2011 cover is graced with the beauty of full-figured women, who are absolutely stunning. I'm so happy to see this generation accept the idea that not every beautiful body fits into a size 0. These plus sized models have more personality than most models I've seen and their beauty is mind-blowing; out of this world. I haven't seen many covers her in the U.S (most certainly not in VOGUE US) with full-figured women in their covers. Editorials, yeah - but not many covers (that I know of, of course). Anyways, I just love the idea that editors are realizing that they don't have to support obesity, but rather, HEALTHY CURVES. 

Posing in sexy lingerie, Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine, and Robin Lawley (sounds american, huh?) were styled by Edward Enninful and beautifully photographed by Steven Miesel. I am definitely taking a trip to Borders or Barnes and Noble to find me this issue and look at the editorials. CAN'T WAIT!!!! Do you guys love the vintage sex appeal to this cover or WHAT!!!!???

Glam' Blake For July.

It is not a secret that I have a girl crush on Blake Lively and it is not because she's absolutely gorgeous, but because the girl is young and she doesn't choose to play roles in movies and/or TV shows as a ditsy, clichéd teenager -- but rather aims for mature roles that get her respected as an actress, (like Dakota Fanning). PLUS, she dresses fantastically and according to her interview in the Glamour issue of July 2011, she's her OWN STYLIST! Love her 10 x more that.

As Glamour Magazine's July cover girl, Blake opens about fashion, relationships and her career. I am glad she is JULY'S cover because is my birthday month. Haha. Anyways, the beautiful star is shot by Terry Tsiolis in editorials wearing designers from Marc Jacobs to Christian Louboutin (DAFFODILEEEEEEESSSS). 

Can wait 'till the issue hits stand. Would you get it?

Chanel 2.55 a la Beef, Please?

I came up this very peculiar, I guess you can call it, article. So this design student named Nancy Wu created a Chanel 2.55 handbag, which we all love ENTIRELY...100% OUT OF BEEF JERKY!!! How crazy is that??!! She must be pretty talented because she even did the quilted pattern and kept the signature linked-chain strap and the interlocking 'C', Chanel logo. 

I  wondered if she was inspired by Lady Gaga's MTV Music Video Awards 2010 where she wore a MEAT DRESS. Remember that one? 

Either way, I thought it was quite different and quite creative if you ask me. Next time you go on a long trip bring your "Beef Jerky Chanel" and if you get hungry take a bite of the corner of it. Hahah.

Do YOU guys like to create things. Are any of you innovators, designers? I'd love to hear about your ideas and creations and what do you guys thing of this bag? If ever REALLY sold on Chanel boutiques.. would you buy it?

Meet, Mr. "Boy" Chanel.

So we all know that the genius Coco Chanel was known for her boy-ish style, and making it acceptable for women to wear. Well, Dr. Lagerfeld (as I now call him), like the genius he is, designed a new line of Chanel bags  that convey Coco's style.

“Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel,” -- Karl Lagerfeld.

The beautiful calfskin bags are to be in Chanel boutiques this September 2011, ranging in prices from $2,500-$4,300. Not expensive at all, huh? (SIKE).

I absolutely love them and they manage to have a balance between vintage and modern. Very clean-cut and boxy, but very Coco Chanel circa 1920s. My favorites are the white and the large black. Do you love them??

Bye, Oprah.

Oprah Winfrey's last show was yesterday, and though it was a sad day for television and all those Oprah lovers, I just couldn't stop staring at her L'Wren Scott dress, which I loved on her.

It was obviously customized and different than the dress on the Spring 2011 runway, in order to flatter her body. In my opinion the customization was done FANTASTICALLY. I loved the 3/4 length sleeves as opposed to the sleeveless runway version, but I must say I just loved loved loved the ombre chiffon  belt. It looked like layers tassels and whenever she walked they just flowed so beautifully. And of course the nude, blush pink is one of my favorite Spring/Summer colors and it flattered her skin tone perfectly. I just absolutely loved the dress on her!

We'll miss you Oprah.
