Self Service Magazine, Spring-Summer 2012

Here's some photo's from Spring/Summer issue of Self Service Magazine that caught my eye, I love the colours, the shapes, the textures and I absolutely LOVE, well more like obsessed with the first photo, of Lindsey Wixson with that green glitter eyeshadow with the rosy lips, perfection. How flawlessly beautiful can one girl be, I mean she's stuh-ning! These pictures are modelled by Lindsey Wixson, Jacquelyn Jablonski and Emily Baker and was photographed by Theo Wenner.

Florence Welch - Harper's Bazaar UK July 2012

This is such a beautiful editorial from Harper's Bazaar UK, July coverstar- Florence Welch (of Florence & The Machine). It really stays true to Florence's romantic, etheral, indie style with soft colours, a dreamy ambience and floaty Valentino, Chloé and Chanel gowns. Each photo is as stunning as the next and I can't stop thinking how amazing her makeup is in this editorial, she looks flawless. Photographed by Camilla Akrans and styled by Sissy Vian. Magnifique

Taylor Tomasi Hill - Streetstyle

Taylor Tomasi Hill, Artistic Director at Moda Operandi is always one of my favourite people to look out for during all fashion weeks as her style is always impeccable, eclectic and vibrant and this look from her is basically perfect, and not to mention flawlessly put together as every single outfit she wears is. Beautiful

Joan Smalls & Karlie Kloss - W Magazine July 2012

I knew the second I saw this great editorial from W Magazine's July issue I had to share it with you all. Photographed by Steven Meisel, styled by Edward Enninful and modeled by Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss it is entitled "Super Modern Super Model" and my, that was the most perfect title for this editorial. Joan and Karlie are throwing some serious supermodel poses and shapes, each photo is utterly flawless. One thing I also love in an editorial from time to time is to see movement in the clothes, rather than a still pose all the time, movement in a photo brings life to the clothes and I love that this shoot is full of movement and life.

My two favourite pictures from the editorial, (the picture just above and the one just below)

Anja Rubik - Streetstyle

I saw this shot of model Anja Rubik at Carolines Mode| StockholmStreetstyle and instantly loved her laid-back, easy-breezy look in this photo, and I particularly love her maxi dress especially the way she paired it with laced-up boots by Balmain which immediately gives it an edgy feel. Anja is always effortlessly chic and this look is no different.
