All wrapped up

I'm literally snowed in. There's a foot of snow outside now, and as the UK have been unable to deal with it I've been spending a lot of time online (oh and baking snowflake cupcakes!). Two of my favourite editorials I've found today, I just had to share here:

Metal Magazine 21
Julia Nobis by Can Evgin






The next editorial is from Russh magazine, and I know I post about this magazine alot, but it's absolutely brilliant, and so worth tracking down. If you're in London you should be able to find it in Selfridges or RD Franks.
Russh Decemeber/January 2011
Cassi Van Den Dungen by Will Davidson






These editorials highlight how beautiful masculine, oversize clothes are on such feminine models with strong features. It's an interesting trend that's emerging in some of the indie magazines. I was pleasantly surprised to see it showcased on the red carpet by Leighton Meester:


She looks so sexy in this look, it's slightly disheveled which works and I like the flowing curled hair. I'm going to be copying these looks, just as soon as the snow disappears, because there is nothing attractive about having to wear ten sets of layers all the time.

The Real Queen B

When did Leighton Meester get so bloody annoying and Blake Lively become so fabulous? As a fellow brunette I always erred on the side of Leighton, especially as she didn't seem to get as much exposure as Blake. Whilst Blake had the cover of W & US Vogue, Leighton only had Teen Vogue. But after reading her Glamour UK article it must be because Leighton is so damn obnoxious. "I've hated every boyfriend I've ever had" she comes across as so bitter. I don't seem to remember her previous interviews being like this?

Anyway, I picked up the new Nylon yesterday with Blake Lively on the cover (for research purposes) and she came across as so, cheerful and appreciative of her success, and basically someone you'd like to be friends with.

Doesn't she seem lovely? And a fellow Topshop lover too (as a London blogger I do feel a little spoilt that I have grown with a Topshop store in every town). I like that she doesn't use a stylist either. Leighton on the other hand is getting ridiculously overstyled:


WTF!? The clip on bangs, the gang sign pose, the radioactive bright make up and that's before I even get to the clothes. Less is more, Leighton. Honestly. Here, let Blake show you how to dress yourself without looking like your stylist threw up on you:


One more example?
