Magazines: Highlights & Inspiration

I've been paging through a stack of mags over the past few days. My mom dropped off a bunch and my friend, Kathleen, brought me some from London. I love being able to flip open a mag and not even know where to begin because it all looks so great. These are my favourite bits and pieces!

Tatler US February '10
Feature: Britpack in NYC

There seems to be a focus on the new Britpack across the mags at the mo. Tatler have done a wonderfully colourful round up of the 50 most powerful Brits in the city. Love the pinks, reds and yellows!



Elle UK March '10
Interview: Liv Tyler

I fancied Liv as an elf in Lord of the Rings and as a 90's hipster in Empire Records but other than that, I don't really know her all that well. Having read this, I want to buy her shots at a dive bar and ask her a million more questions. She's awesome!



Elle UK March '10
Advertising: Mui Mui

This is the first time I've seen the new Mui Mui campaign in print. Please excuse this horrible pic I took but the ad really does look amazing! If I were in school, I'd stick these ads on my files and cover 'em with contact paper. Yup.



Cosmopolitan UK April '10
Fashion: Dreamy Prints

Cosmo UK has done a lovely, Lula-esque shoot with cute, dreamy prints. When I think of Comso (or at least the SA version), I picture toned bods in short, tight dresses but this issue feels softer and more feminine. Lovely.



Tatler US March '10
Fashion: Pollock-esque Prints

I'm not wild about all these tees in the shops that look like they've been through a round of paint ball. However, I do LOVE a double page spread of splatters!



Look 22nd March '10
Make-Up: Blue Eye Shadow and Red Lips!

Wahey, now we can all look like 80's pop stars!
This is a bit bonkers but I love it when fash mags bust out and break a rule or two. Somehow I don't think this will fly at the Pavilion on a Saturday morning but I might give it a go for a laugh.



Elle South Africa March '10
Shoes: Mr Price

Chris Viljoen has written a piece about the perfect shoe. In it, he credits Mr Price with their range of affordable, well-designed shoes. This is fantastic coup for the Mr P team and I'd like to give a special shout out to my friend, Nadia, who does a brilliant job sourcing shoes for Mr Price.
