Kate

Everyone wants a piece of Kate. Whenever I see Kate on a front cover I tend to ignore it. However, this Vogue Paris, May 2011 cover caught my attention. Love the bold background. Love Kate's pose. Love the chic, yet blinging Armani Privé jacket. Love the strong muscly arms. Love the contrast between the dainty (Kate) and the weighty (arms). Smoking attitude, is right.

And your thoughts on this Vogue Paris cover?

Wanted

 I must admit, I am fairly fed up of whimsical editorials. Ruffles galore and long bouncy hair. No, thanks. I want the opposite and Vogue Paris (April, 2011) has given this to me. Wanted is dark and edgy. Most of the photos are black & white. Isabeli Fontana stars. Fringing, feathers, distressed denim, stetsons, guns, metallic and chunky leather belts feature. That first picture of Isabeli reminds me of Pocahontas. Pocahontas gone Country & Western. Pocahontas gone bad. 

I want to be a fashionable cow-girl. Grab that gun, and those leather chaps. Go for braids and pluck a feather. Giddy up.....

Are you as excited to see the rest of this editorial, as I am?
