This coming May, British Vogue will launch a new sister magazine called Miss Vogue targeted towards a younger audience just like Vogue’s Teen Vogue in the states. Growing up, I was a subscriber of Teen Vogue and now I can’t wait to see how Miss Vogue will turn out. Will it be just like TV or will they branch out and do something completely different? The first issue May/June will hit stands nationwide on May 6th.
Who will be the cover girl? Will there be more Cara D? Probably.

I’m not a tennis player or anywhere close to being an athlete, but I certainly know how to appreciate art and design…even on objects that I would never use. Vogue asked several designers including Peter Som, Rag & Bone, Tory Burch, and even the designer of my glasses – Warby Parker – among others to design their own tennis balls. Check out the results here.

Emma Stone is pretty much my girl of 2012. She has snagged quite a few blockbusters within the last year, has risen to be a style icon, and is dating her Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield. Her life is awesome. Her outfits are fantastic. We all wish we can be Emma Stone. End of story.
Is this not the most gorgeous Vogue cover you have ever seen? Emma Stone is perfection for the latest cover.
The rest of the editorial is kind of meh, but the cover’s the most important part anyways!
Unfortunately, I’m a little behind on my news having not blogged consistently for the past couple of weeks, but this is the best I could do!

Melancholia may have been a slow film for me, but it was beautiful and whimsical and HEY – Kirsten Dunst made herself a comeback! Now she’s promoting her newest film, which is sort of like an indie “Bridesmaids,” and I can’t wait to see it.
We don’t typically associate Taylor Swift with high fashion, especially since she tends to wear similar nude/cream sparkly gowns to nearly every event, but after seeing her in the new spread for Vogue – she is indeed high fashion on her own terms. With her hair straightened and posing with guitars in what appear to be a tour life setting, Swift looks effortlessly cool. It is incredibly refreshing to not only see someone like Taylor Swift on the cover of Vogue, but seeing a spread like this in their magazine. This is definitely new territory for them. I actually really enjoy Taylor’s music and the way that she carries herself, but I become shamelessly giddy every time I see any kind of music/fashion collaboration in general.
It looks like Mila and her former Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman have another similar project in common. They’ve both been tapped to work with Dior as brand ambassadors. Here are some of Mila’s new spring campaigns shot by photographer Mikail Jansson. The advertisements will be featured in the pages of magazines as early as January 15th first internationally and then in American fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.
