Karlie Kloss for Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012

Here she comes again!

19 year old Karlie Kloss scored her third 
huge campaign for the season. 

First Dior Beauty, then Elie Saab, and now the
Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 campaign,
shot by Craig McDean.

Whether in white lace, blue feathers or a scarlet ballgown,
Kloss is fierce.
Giant drop earrings and a sleek and shiny center parted bun offset
defined brows and cheekbones sharp enough to slice bread with.
Perfect.



With stunning wardrobe styled by Alex White
the campaign also gives us a sneak peak at the new
Oscar de la Renta eyewear collaboration with Linda Farrow.

Check out the over sized blue mother of pearl oval frames -
an uber chic look for spring.


The accessories are statement pieces in pastel.
A pink crocodile belt, a slim yellow clutch
and multi buckled peep toe wedges to die for in baby blue and lime green.

Love.

Angelina Jolie Marie Claire January 2012

Friday morning gratuitous fabulosity.

Angelina Jolie Behind The Lens

I love Angie.
She's got that unbelievably gorgeous face that just won't quit.

Angelina Jolie by Alexei Hay

She's clever. She's worldly.
By not playing to the Hollywood PR machine she transcends it.
And she's just incredibly interesting.

This article premiered in December, 
so its not new, 
but I just got around to reading it this week,
so its new to me. 
And maybe you.

Check out these divine images of the fabulous Angelina Jolie 
by Alexei Hay 
in Marie Claire January 2012
There's a link to the article below.




" I stay home alot. I'm just not very social..."
 "He expanded my life in ways I never imagined.We built a family.
He is not just the love of my life, he is my family..."

Vlada Podverbnaya For Marie Claire France January 2012

Isn't this just beautiful?


Vlada Podverbnaya works a soft, feminine beauty 
for Marie Claire France January 2012.

Flawless makeup by Yumi Endo shows that a clear, beautiful complexion trumps all else.
Tousled, wavy hair by Greg Everingham never dates and is always uber sexy.


Fashion editor Laure Deren shows us that a girl needs a little lingerie, a little fur, and very little else.

Lemon Love

Oh winter!
You bore me.
I need to look at something bright and exciting.
Something fresh and crisp.
Something that smells like Sorrento....

Golden Globes 2012 Best Dressed

The most interesting tend on the 2012 Golden Globes Red Carpet 
may well have been the prevalence of the whiter shades of pale. 
From blush to oyster to bright white, some of the biggest names stepped out in soft through snowy hues.

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture



Elle Mc Pherson in bright white Zac Posen


Mary J Blige in a sparkly Michael Kors with feathers



  Nicole Kidman in Versace



Jessica Alba in Gucci



When we did see color, 
it was bold, alive and unapologetic.

Ever glamorous, ever sexy Helen Mirren looked sensational in deep blue Badgley Mishka


as did sex bomb Sofia Vergara in custom Vera Wang



Stacy Kiebler and Reese Witherspoon stood out in vibrant reds 



Julianna Margulies cut a super svelte silhouette in Naeem Kahn



Maria Menoudos vibrant yellow 


Heidi Klum looked spectacular in Calvin Klein
with a stunning turquoise Lorraine Schwartz necklace



My personal favorite of the night was 
the exquisite Kate Beckinsdale
looking breathtaking 
in a strapless, pale blush Roberto Cavalli,
Lorraine Schwartz jewels
and a Ferragamo clutch


 For the most part this year the look was a much more fleshed out, healthy side of slim
with fewer actresses looking sickly thin, but did you see Madonna's arms?
At some point you have to ask: why???
