the white album

The White Album editorial in the Vogue April 2012 is photographing Lara Mullen who is only 17!  She was scouted at a music festival and is now signed by Premiere.  Lara has modeled for Alexander Wang, Prada, Celine, Chloe and Givenchy.  This is her debut feature in Vogue that is photographed by Josh Olins.

This shoot displays structured lines, starched cotton, lace and pleats that are favourites for all minimalists!  And who better than John Galliano, Celine, Joseph, Chanel, Valentino and Jil Sander to style the photo shoot.  Devine X

model to watch... Nastya Kusakina

Five foot eleven with blonde hair and green eyes (a taller Elle Fanning, anyone?), the 17-year-old Nastya Kusakina has already becoe the favourite for many makeup brands like Sephora, Urban Decay, and M.A.C with her baby doll features and porcelain skin! Her runway work is continuing to go from strength to strength. For fall 2012, she walked for Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Maison Martin Margiela, and Alexander McQueen, and opened Raf Simons’s final show for Jil Sander again at his couture debut for Dior!  What a line up!  Signed with Women model agency she has been seen sitting can front row at Rodarte, smiling for the cameras as one of the industries best!

Hanalei Reponty

Hanalei has to be one of my favourite models, with her unusually beautiful features, a killer body and that waist long blonde hair!  Born in Hawaii, she loves the beach (obviously!), hippie style and mermaids.  I would even say she reminds me of a mermaid, don't you think!  She has recently done a shoot for Spell and the Gypsy designs which fits right down her ally with indie/gypsy clothes and has done a lovely shoot with the gorgeous Brydie Mack from WolfCub!  She's done it all!

 

the STYLISH SISTERS.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have graced the front covers of numerous magazines, featured in editorials, acted in their own movies and have now created their high fashion brand The Row and are style icons for many women, definitely including me!  The bohemian, easy breezy style can go from casual to sophisticated for formal events and they can never get it wrong!  Their brand The Row encapsulates all their style is with blacks and indie prints with flowing long cuts.  

Enjoy and maybe this with inspire you to get in touch with your bohemian side!

My favourite look is this floor length dress is the wonderfully bright red and paired with those gorgeous green jewellery pieces!

Add a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral garment.

Huge fans of fur, a must have in every bohemian wardrobe!

Oh so chic!

Braided and Beautiful

Braided hair speaks freedom, relaxed and that you are never going to grow up!  This look can even been transferred to the runway as shown in the images below and is not only limited to those beach days when you never leave the sea side...  It turns out that braids and plaits can actually be quite classy and fashionable and I will definitely be one to jump onto this trend!

Miroslava Duma shows that the look can be well suited to street style and Valentino displays use of this look in many of their runway shows! Enjoy X
