Leave It To Diva ~ Naomi Campbell For Elle US

How is it that we are already seeing the February issues??

I'm barely recognizing that its 2013 yet!

But anyway, photographer Thomas Whiteside captured

this fun story for the February issue of Elle US.

Naomi Campbell by Thomas Whiteside for Elle US

Naomi Campbell does what she does so well

in divine threads from Alexander McQueen, 

Dolce and Gabbana, Zac Posen,

Louis Vuitton, Veronique Leroy, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, 

Azzedine Alaia and Thom Browne.

Somehow she is equal parts terrifying, magnificent and spellbinding ~

El Efecto Vintage ~ Vogue Spain

What a way to kick off a new year!!!

Edita Vilkeviciute by Demarchelier for Vogue Espana

Patrick Demarchelier's new editorial

for Vogue Espana is just gorgeous.

Of course, he is the master, and his lensmanship

is beyond brilliant, as always.

But what kills me is the amazing styling by Belen Antolin.

Every image is so rich.

So layered with texture, color, and thought provoking pairings.

Fashion Editor Antolin has such a phenomenal eye, 

is such a genius stylist.

There is just so much to see in each image.

I. Die.

Model Edita Vilkeviciute tells a story  

of a rock n roll meets vintage inspired look 

with designs from the likes of Lanvin, Dolce and Gabbana, 

Nina Ricci, Roberto Cavalli and Oscar de la Renta.

Golden Globes 2013 Best Dressed

Not a stand out year on the red carpet,

 three big trends in color

at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards

were black, red and blush.

The reds were vibrant, alive reds

Claire Danes in Versace

Marion Cotillard in Raf Simons Dior

The impeccable Marion Cotillard gave Raf Simons

a shout out on the red carpet.

I normally think black is a very uninspired choice for

red carpet events, but this year there were

some really stunning black dresses.

And I can never get enough McQueen.

Julieanne Moore in Tom Ford

I loved Julieanne Moore talking 

about how she emailed Tom Ford 

and asked him to make her a dress

Kate Hudson in Alexander McQueen

Not only was Kate Hudson's Alexander McQueen dress

completely sensational, it was probably the warmest

dress of the evening, with it's sleek long sleeves.

Swifty stood out in aubergine Donna Karan Atelier.

Her hair and makeup were also stunning.

Megan Fox in Dolce and Gabbana

Anne Hathaway in Chanel

Jessica Alba in Oscar de la Renta

Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera

 Boldly stepping away from the pack,

in a dress that seems to be either loved or hated,

Lucy Liu wore a spectacular floral Carolina Herrera.

I'm not sure that I have ever seen floral on the red carpet before

but the shape, color and drama of this dress

made it stand out from the crowd.

I thought it was fantastic.

And I always admire anyone who

makes a fashion move as fierce as this.
