coocoo for coco

 coco rocha by chris nicholls for FLARE april 2010. [via fashiongonerogue] 

i just watched r.j. cutler's the september issue for the third time and i am still in awe of how brilliant grace coddington is. in the words of anna wintour, she is truly a genius. this spread of coco rocha for flare just reminded me of grace's editorial on block coloring for vogue's september 07 issue. i wish my mom kept that phonebook of a magazine. a collector's item, for sure.

My Present Inspirations

It's my school worming into my art....

caseofthemondays.

i decided to do something with my day and did an impromptu/amateur photo shoot with mademoiselle linh (of sarapluslinh) to post on our blogs (a pic of me below and linh's to come..) i'm thinking if all these other fabulous girls can do what they love - wear beautiful clothes, write about beautiful clothes, and take pictures of beautiful clothes - then i sure as hell can do it too! so here i am, very impressed with my mad terry richardson skillz (minus the creeper modelizer thing he has goin on) and i really believe this is something i can get better at and hopefully gain more recognition with. i may be ranting, but as a very seasoned intern for pr and journalism, i feel motivated to do something with what i'm good at - writing, trend spotting, and loving fashion. 

my love once told me to do what i love, and i will love what i do. so here it is. <3

FURocious

mko is probably my numero uno style inspiration and it's so obvious why. just look at her fur. this girl can pull anything off - from bulky coats to lacey vintage gowns to brownish grey lipstick to balenciaga mega booties. effortless as always & i like it that way.

parlez vous francais?

vanessa paradis (aka mrs. depp) has been the first and only face for Chanel's coco parfum since '92. then lent her lips for the new line of lusciously puckerlicious lipsticks,rouge coco. and now after lily allen was bumped from being coco cocoon's  girl, vanessa was the obvious choice to be her replacement. 

if you watch the commercial for rouge coco, notice the throwback she gives to her coco parfum commercial when she whistles during the song. so subtle, but very sweet. 

i also threw in the interview she did after the Chanel fall/winter '10 show because i love the sound of french. there's a certain je ne sais quoi about it, and of course it reminds me of my trips to PARIS <3 one day, i shall learn the language. until then, english subtitles will do just fine.
