A Collection Part 30
A Softer World
Happy spring readers! We’re long overdue for a Collection post so I thought I would leave you with one before I embark on the rest of my spring break venturing for the week. It’s definitely shorter than usual, but still packed with pretty pictures. I wanted to kick off this collection post with a comic from one of my favorite sites, A Softer World. Together, they are the perfect combination of beautiful photography and witty thoughts.
Enjoy!
Mila Kunis for Harper’s Bazaar

Mila is always part of some of the best photo shoots and editorials. I actually can’t remember seeing one I didn’t like. This one was photographed by Terry Richardson. I need all of these dresses.

A Collection Part 26
As I was laying in my deathbed the other day recovering from Bumbershoot, five feet away from me Veronica shouted “KATIE! COLLECTION POST! When are you going to change your header?” I’m not sure if many of you realized this by now, but Veronica is one of the few people I listen to when it comes to Yow Yow. Oh and I also listened to Evan when he told me the other day that my Foster the People rant was “SO HIPSTER,” which made me so self-conscious that I decided to delete it altogether.
The road to recovering from Bumbershoot has been steady, but has obviously set me back a little bit. On top of that, I’ve also gotten some new hardware! YEAH! So I’m busy making transfers and starting fresh all over again. It’s safe to say that at this point, Yow Yow! will no longer be doing 17 posts a day as summer comes to an end. That’s right – it’s finally hitting me, but what an incredible last summer this has been for me. I am grateful to have had this opportunity to spend time with my family and friends and to actually have time to focus on myself more than ever. That’s not meant to sound selfish at all. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am usually MIA throughout the school year (unless they work with me/have classes w/ me) because I am constantly on the go. For once, I got to experience what it was like to have absolutely nothing on my plate. I even got bored a few times – most likely during the time I spent writing those 17 posts.
Anyways, since I won’t be doing much posting over the next couple of days, I thought I would do a Collection post for all of you to enjoy!

Agyness Deyn and Orlando Bloom for Me & City
An amazing photoshoot for Chinese label Me & City featuring Agyness Deyn and Orlando Bloom photographed by Terry Richardson.
Which Size is right?
Photographer Terry Richardson recently did this shoot in V Magazine comparing models Jacquelyn Jablonski and Crystal Renn. They decided to answer the question once and for all: is there really a difference when it comes to skinny and plus size? Does the skinnier model wear the clothes better? Do they add to better sales? When you compare the two photos side-by-side, you will have noticed that there isn’t much of a difference. Way to go V for standing up to the fashion industry.
