Leather in Elle Russia February 2011

Last post, I mentioned the love for the leather pieces by the Swedish label, House of Dagmar, and this time it's all about the leather pieces by Chanel, Blumarine and Bel Air featured in Elle Russia February 2011. I want every item. Leather pieces are those pieces of clothing that you really should invest in, as leather is timeless. A great leather skirt looks so chic and fabulous with a sheer, white shirt (or a grey shirt with a plunging neckline as in look 1), and a fitted leather jacket is an essential in every wardrobe, as it is perfect to make an outfit more rough and edgy.

What leather pieces are essential to you?

The Photographer

Jessica Stam ranks high when it comes to my favourite models, and this editorial from the January 2011 edition of Vogue China shows why. I admire the way she often is able to portray a strong, confident character in her editorials, and her blue eyes are extremely powerful. I have this vision of how a young, successful photographer looks like, as I have always seen it as an exciting and glamorous occupation, and Jessica Stam's editorial fulfills this vision perfectly.

Bal Masqué

Vogue Paris celebrates 90 years now in October, and of course editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld knew how to throw an elegant party in its honour. When I first saw this cover and the following editorial, I knew that no other theme is as perfect as "a masked ball" for the magazine. For me, a masked ball is sexy, dangerous, risky and exciting - everything that Vogue Paris is. Happy 90th birthday!

I have fallen in love with this editorial from US Elle (March 2009). Richard Bush has taken these amazing photographs, and just look at the incredible lighting he has used! I tried to pick out my favourite shots, but it is impossible: I heart them all.

I Heart Kate

I'm not talking about Kate Moss, Kate Hudson, Kate Bosworth or all the other great Kates out there, though I heart them too. This time I'm talking about Kate Lanphear, style editor at US Elle. Below is one of her latest jobs for US Elle Magazine. Isn't she just brilliant?!

Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend

As we're a week into December, there's no denying that the Christmas sugary goodies and treats aren't far away from reach. This is the month where I have to be a clever girl and stick to my work-out routine. No slacking here. Flicking through the newest Paris Vogue edition, I saw this editorial which I would like to call a good dose of inspiration and motivation to stay loyal to my cardio and my strengthening exercises.

So one of my New Year's resolutions will be: always go to the gym looking like I've jumped right out of this stunning Vogue Paris editorial.

Haha yeah, fat chance, but a girl can dream!

J'adore Paris And Eiffel Tower Panties

I am so sorry for my absence these last few days, but I just haven't had a single free moment until now. I've been working a lot this weekend, and on Saturday I went to my friend's going-away party. I had a great time, but note to self: It's not a very good idea to party all night long when you're getting a mean cold. It completely ruined my Sunday, but still, it was worth kind of worth it. I have to head off straight after I've finished this post, so instead of replying to your comments today, I will definitely do it tomorrow.

Anyway, we are now finished with New York Fashion Week, and boy did they serve us some amazing collections! So many designers impressed me, and after seeing the collections I just can't wait for spring 09. Even though I am very excited that London Fashion Week has arrived, I have to admit that it doesn't give me quite the same satisfaction that I know I will receive when Paris Fashion Week starts the 28th of September.

So while I wait with great impatience, I'll post the stunning editorial from Vogue Paris June/July 2008. It features Doutzen Kroes, Lily Donaldsen, Natasha Poly, Sasha Pivovarova and Catherine McNeil, and they all do a fantastic job in this photo shoot. Even though they aren't Parisiennes in real life, they sure do express the chicness and beauty which is connected to the women from Paris. One of my biggest dreams is to one day live in the city of love, and these photos definitely add more fuel to the dream of moving to Paris. Where do you dream of living?
