does anyone NOT harbor dreams of being a badass rock star?

a reason to start over new

could sasha pivovarova look ANY cooler in this pic from the june 2010 issue of vogue?!?! it's been almost a year since i last dyed my hair as i grow it out from it's short chop and i am very much feeling all the bright manic panic colors i've been seeing on street style blogs... a little bit of "purple haze" on some bleached ends could quite possibly make my life right now- corporate america be damned! i actually think my 9-5 is the one thing keeping me in line on this... how sad is that?! ugh to being a grown up!

i've seen the breaking of the sourvenir

omg that face! could emma watson be any more gorgeous?!

who am i to disagree?

this! this is the kind of editorial that moves you... this is the kind of photography that captures something extra... because it's not just the clothes (which are freakin ridiculous)... it's the attitude, it's the movement, it's the hair, it's the mystery, it's the everything. who is this woman? what kind of life does she have? don't you just want to live in it for a while?

i want your ugly i want your disease

a reason to actually buy vogue this month- grace coddington styled hansel & gretel themed photo shoot with lady gaga and lily cole... oh and if you haven't seen gaga's video for bad romance you are seriously missing out- hands down, best, most innovative video i've seen in a LONG time!

instant karmas gonna get you

choice quotes from vogue uk's interview with lara stone:

• "I am a complete alcoholic. It used to be so easy to say to someone, 'Get me a bottle of vodka,' and they'd run and get it. Going to rehab was the best decision I ever made. The last six months have been the best of my life."  
  
• "I'd already tried everything in Holland. Anyway, I never wanted to be that model on drugs, the sort who gives head for a line of coke."
• "Men don't like me. I haven't been on a date for six months. I've just started a club with a girlfriend called the We Hate Men But We Can't Be Gay Club."
• "I shouldn't be wearing these shoes. Because I hate the designer and never wear people I hate."

So loving her right now....

they talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

loving the new vogue.com feature "5 days 5 looks" where one office gal shows her weeks worth of outfits... very intriguing to see what anna's assistants and the other voguettes don a daily basis! (also love the model wall posts, although it can get a bit depressing reading age: 16, age: 17, etc. over and over again!)

fashion is religion. this is the bible.

just saw the september issue... definitely have a major girl crush on the genius grace coddington. 

dear anna wintour...

if american vogue's covers were even remotely as cool as vogue italia, i'd consider reading it again...
