SECOND ISSUE OF LOVE!!!

THIRST LOVE

I went into my nearest w h smith to buy a magazine. Preferably Dazed and Confused but unexpectedly there was a surprise waiting for me! 

The Second issue of love!

Love magazine is edited by the amazing katie Grand who used to edit pop magazine which was one of my favorite mags but she decided to make a new magazine for Conde Nast.

This issue is about youth.

I prefer the second issue as i love the theme of youth as katie grand couldn't explain it any better in her Editors Letter.

"Everyone bats the word passion around so much these days that it has virtually become meaningless. so rather than add to the dirge of repetitive, celebrity driven, messages by numbers, we went looking for ordinary kids who could teach the grown ups a thing."

When looking at the love fan page on facebook though a lady on there made a very good point.

   "Found early copies in WHSmith too- still loving the aesthetic of the mag but, seriously, is every issue going to be full of Pixie Geldof? In this one she's credited as a singer/musician- is that what she does this month?If I were one of the many talented individuals you feature who've worked long and hard to make their names in their fields, I'd be pretty annoyed if on the next page there was Miss Geldof being credited as a musician when she has yet to make her name in that field at all. I adored the first issue of Love but am worried its turning into a magazine about famous people's kids..?I realise the theme was youth in this issue, but using someone like Geldof as an example of an intern is pretty ridiculous- most interns do not end up on the pages of the glamorous glossies they work for, they go home to a second job so they can pay their rent."

Which i think is a very good point as interning doesn't mean you're gonna be featured on every page and is very expensive. I feel sorry for the other interns who didn't get a photo shoot with there famous friends and styled by Dolce and Gabanna. 

I was also very pleased that they put most of the adverts at the front to make the art direction run smoother.

This was the cover i chose.

Talking about the past...

Talking about the past in my last blog i thought i would show you one of my first photo shoots that i produced in my first year at Uni. It's strange looking back at them now as i think i could of refined it to improve each image but if i thought it was perfect 2 years on this probably would mean that i haven't progressed.

but here is the shoot that we had to do for a mock up of Vogue.

Please enjoy xx

I need some love

With getting into this Blogging malarky i'd like my blog to have some more love so please follow me on blog lovin'.

blast from the past!- polly pocket

I really love it when i find things from my childhood around the house unexpectedly. Like today when i was hoovering i found a little polly pocket down the edge of the carpet where it meets the skirting board, i have no idea how it got there as i wasn't even in the house i live in now when i would be young enough to play with polly pockets but it did make me think about how great the polly pocket clock was which i now wish i never threw away but at least i have little polly........ maybe i could use this as inspiration for a shoot....hhmmm! maybe. You'll have to come back and see if  my Miss polly find results in a shoot. I think i like the challenge of turning a childish toy into a styling result that could be related into clothing that older women would want to buy xx

Happy Mondays-festival wear

After a lovely day of coffee and pan-ini's with my mum and nan i realized that with only 5 weeks till i have to go back to uni and hand in 6000 words of my dissertation and my s magazine still not arriving for me to read i really should start my essay! but like most people after only writing 300 words i am easily distracted so i decided to plan my festival wear for v festival which i go to on friday! but not being satisfied with looking at the clothes i could afford here is my dream festival wear...............

Boots-YSL

Necklace- Tatty Devine

Skirt- Top shop (Not exactly expensive but i still love it anyway) 

sunglasses- Giles Deacon

Cuff- Kara Beck

and add a straw hat and some jeany things for that true festival feel. You also may be wondering where the Wellies are but they have bored me this year so get some leather boots muddy instead!!!

Fashion Magazines

Being a fashion student and training to be a stylist i look at fashion Magazines for inspirations and when looking through my blog i was shocked that i haven't mentioned any fashion magazines considering they are a heavy influence to my work. So i thought i'd just mention a few that have really excited me through my young learning love of fashion.

Nylon magazine that stands for new  york and london was the first fashion magazine i found in my local news agents that wasn't a commercial fashion magazine such as vogue and Harpars Bazaar. To be honest i didn't realise fashion magazines that were aimed at a younger fashion market existed and i was excited about the new designers that they featured and the edgier styling stories. I was also really interested in the underground bands that they reviewed.  

Now with my wider knowledge of fashion magazines i find Nylon magazine targeted at a slightly younger audience so i don't tend to read it as much or find it that inspiring but i'll always be fond of it. Another of my favorite Mags is plastique magazine that i love for art direction and there creative use of text.

I do have a confession

I haven't read S magazine yet but my friend had told me about it and described it as pure sex and with this exciting description it got me running home to order the slightly expensive £12.75 magazine.

so when the magazine arrives and i have read cover to cover i will be sure to blog and tell you my thoughts.

Unique Blazers

I've wanted to buy a blazer for a long time but didn't really find one that i really liked and i was going to buy the simple boy cut black blazers but with them being such a fashionable item but i didn't really feel i wanted the same as what everyone else had but routing through the Tophop sale i came across this floral beauty for only £20! which was exactly what i was looking for! a blazer that stands out from the crowd!! x x
