So in love with this vibrant editorial in MarchVogue. I'm normally not into orange but I love the way it was used here.
What inspiration I'm taking away from these images:
1. That laid back Cali-in-the-70's vibe
2. Pops of color (bright pink, warm orange, cherry red) mixed with black and shine
3. Amazing artwork, pottery, and textiles collected from across the globe

Just finished reading the The New York Times story on Lucky's new editor, Brandon Holley, and found the quote below most interesting. I was wondering if anything was going on as home stuff started popping up again in the last couple of issues.
The company seems committed to Lucky for now. Two spinoff titles, Lucky Kids and Lucky Home, are expected to debut this year. Ms. Holley is getting the budget to hire people like Andy Spade, a founder of Kate Spade and Jack, to spruce up the magazine, starting with the March issue. (Heidi Klum will be the cover model.)

I squealed when I saw that Lucky magazine's Marlien Rentmeester was in the newest issue of Lonny magazine. I've followed her for some time after seeing her personal style in The Lucky Shopping Manualand I believe a feature in the magazine as well.
Marlien and designer Hilary Thomas went on a treasure hunt in West Palm Beach for vintage finds to furnish her new home. I wish there was a behind the scenes video of this, as I bet they had a lot of fun. How great are all her cool again 1970's patio pieces? I'm happy to see that Marlien is a fellow chair collector.
I've been doing really well, but for a while I had a really bad chair addiction, as seen here and here. Unfortunately, seeing all of Marlien's lovely pieces may have reawakened the craving.

I picked up the February issue of Lucky yesterday and noticed an advertisement for the launch of a new magazine, Lucky Kids. Tagged "The fun and stylish way to navigate parenthood," I'm hoping it will be just as cute as Cookie, the now folded magazine also published by Conde Nast.
The first issue is scheduled for March 8, so I'm sure we'll learn soon enough!

I'm drawn to these images from the "Free Like a Bird of the Holders" editorial in Lula. They look a little Dare Wright meets a Blythe doll, no? Going to attempt a low side pony with a ribbon tie tomorrow.

The January issue of Lucky Magazine is mega slim, but it still has some beautiful bits inside that compelled me to buy it. One of those being this editorial-with its quirky(yet adorable) styling, chintzy florals and sweet fluffy sheep-that instantly transports me back to my days studying in England.

How cute is Miss Moss in those sunglasses? I love when she channels that quintessential 1960's rock and roll girlfriend look.

Some more peeks into the latest issue of Lula magazine. I'm looking forward to seeing this editorial up close as it was styled and clothed by the Rodarte sisters. The accompanying copy, words by Rachel Antonoff, makes for a lovely read about white dresses.
Can't wait for this to hit US newsstands!

It has been a long wait for Lula Issue 11 due to some printing issues, but it looks like it is finally trickling into stores.

I ran into the bookstore this weekend in hopes of finding something new to read and grabbed the Vogue Best Dressed Special Edition Issue.
I'm not surprised to see Blake Lively on the cover, as Anna Wintour seems to have a fascination with blondes. There was the Gwyneth Paltrow decade, mixed in with some Carolyn Bessette, various models, and then that odd Renee Zellweger infatuation.
The magazine starts out with great articles about Michaela Bercu, Gypsy Rose Lee, and Natalia Vodianova. I really like Natalia's personal style, and enjoyed the interview as it went into depth about her choices for events and the thought that went into them.
Then there are some things that are kind of sloppy. For instance, there are grainy pictures of Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker that look like they were blown up from smaller images. Why wouldn't you just use a different picture? It's not as if Kate Moss doesn't have a thousand other high resolution images floating around.
I could have done without some of the odd features as well. There is a round up of the celebs stuck under umbrellas in bad weather, a round up of celebs talking on their cell phones, and one of celebs wearing versions of high hair, or what I call a beehive. I would have preferred full length shots of them in great outfits without any other distractions, but maybe I'm the odd one.
The magazine costs $10.99.
