Vogue Beautfiul

How beautiful are these 2 cover editorials from Vogue Russia?!

Both stunningly styled to keep fitting with the overall theme of the issue, with both colour and font been taken into consideration.

The first image is reminiscent of an exotic jungle with emerald green leaves framing the beauty of the exotic flower. I adore how well established Vogue is to be able to not show all the letters of the publication and keep the front cover content to a minimum to create that luxury, high class publication.

put up your name!

What a fantastic way to display your name. This could be a great idea for my self promotion business card in my 3rd year of uni. I feel a photoshoot coming on!!..

make a point.

Great inspiration from the fonts and first letters to visually represent the department stores!

Burning Beauty

These images are beautifully styled, with reference being made to the wild through the models snakeskin effect tights and the photoshopped lace framing her face in the second image is striking and a really clever idea to gain attention.

The brightness of the yellow works stunningly against the mono tone of the photograph at the the bottom.

Gliiter, sparkles and Jewels

I've decided to include in my blog all things that make me happy.

This image makes me incredibly happy with its blend of jewels, glitter and pink fluff. The sparkle that glitter gives off twinkles like a cluster of stars in the sky, and instantly brightens up my day!

Couture Magic

These images just show that even the most haute of haute couture is never perfect. To me, total perfection is bland and boring, photography needs interest and the most beautiful things always has flaws, and these images are the proof. Without the smudging and stylized mess of the images, these wouldn't have caught my eyes.

Performance

Vogue Italia September 09 presents...

Autumn is now upon us, dark nights are here, leaves are falling off the trees, and Christmas theatre plays are being advertised. Vogue Italia catches the season so perfectly in one of my favourite editorials yet!!

The colours are amazing, bright but yet so deep, sealing in the autumn atmosphere.

What are your thoughts on this editorial, and which front cover did you buy? Mine was the second one!

I loved the overall collage effect of the layout of this article i found in Elle Magazine.

The background of the page is a notebook, giving the illusion that you're getting priority seeing something that you shouldn't do from somebody elses notebook.

I think the mixture between hand writing and typed text is a good mix and also adds into the personalized effect, and the heart sticky label works well with the quirky 'British' theme the page holds.

The look the page gives off is like opening a scrapbook and being faced with lots of goodies bursting out as us!

Pink, candy, teddy bear, ribbons, bows, balloons. Heavenly.

Tous Fall/Winter 2009 advertising campaign.

Feelings of youthful innocence are brought together with a soft, matte, gold combination designed in a sweet outline of our favourite childhood teddybear.

just another magazine...

Autumn is now upon us with this cherry coloured editorial from Another magazine.

Kate Moss in Galiano looks stunning in these bruised pinks and purples, and the volume is stunning- creating a dreamy, heavenly effect of floating pink.

Gemma Ward

Draped in purple and wrapped in roses, this image is luxuriously stunning.

I love how her lipstick is match so perfectly to the tones in the roses, as the image is really brought together and balanced perfectly.

Darla Baker

I found these AMAZING photos on Knight Cat's blog, and had to blog them on my own page as they're so beautiful!

The images are so strong with their powerful use of neon technicolours, and she owns the most amazing facial structures.

Definitly a rose that has blossomed out into our eyes!

Graffiti

I really love the overall appearance of this editorial. The bright neon colours really stand out and pop on the dark black, contrast background. I think hand written fonts layered on top of digital photographs make any editorial look unique and individual, as it suddenly owns a kind of personal touch, even though it's probabaly been printed over a million times.

The composition too is well composed, with the the two tallest girls in the middle and two shortest on the outer sides, this leads your head from the left, up and around to the right, where you're then faced with the text to read.

This type of inspiration would work well for a brand wanting to portray a street and quirky edge to their image.

Bubbles, Bikes and Balloons

I found these dreamy images on Fated to Pretend blog, and had to show them to you.

I find them the most calmful and beautfiul pieces of photography.

The bubble piece would look perfect printed out and stuck onto the front cover of my jotter, it would provide the perfect base to then add some fancy text on top, and would never fail to put a smile on my face everytime i took it out of my bag.

Similarly, the photograph of the bike would be ideal to glue to the back of a jotter or diary to symbolize the end or leaving, like the bike is leaving off onto a journey.

Topshop Unique SS10

As this years summer goes down in a sunset, we are already saying hello to SS10 with Topshop Unique.

Going very laid back, beachside vibe, with t-shirts being emblazened with vintage skateboard stickers looking super cute teamed with sand-washed denim this season.

Baseball jackets will be the perfect summer solution to them unpredictable see breezes gazing on off the ocean. Oversize is the best size when it comes to wearing these jackets.

Silk dresses featuring sporty toggles and buckles were dressed down with oversized sweatshirts and had an ultra cool vibe when teamed with pale driftwood platforms and oversized clutch bags strewn with sea-inspired charms.

I'm also adoring the laid back, can't be bothered, effortless ponytails that are loosly piled on top of the head and set in place with a pop pastel coloured ribbon. And neon lips and nails are a must!

Oh i'm counting down on the calander already!!

couture fashion cupcakes

Louis Vuitton Cupcakes

Chanel Cupcakes

Christian Louboutin Cupcakes

Betsey Johnson Cupcakes

Vera Wang Cupcakes

Agent Provocateur Cupcakes

Talk about living the designer lifestyle. Haute couture and buttercream.

These cupcakes don't need to worry about their dressing style!

I think these cupcakes are excellent creations based on how we see the brand essence as being! From the flavour of the cupcake, to the colour of the icing, through to the decorations on top, to finally the stand as to which the cupcakes are proudly placed upon. Each of these aspects reflects the true brand essence of each brand!!

So gorgeous, i would once be squeezed to eat the cake!!

My favourite is the Betsey Johnson creation. Purely because of the fun and alive nature of the whole work, it immediately stands out and grabs my childish attention and love i have for sweets and bright colours.

What's your favourite? Let me know!
