Magazine Monday - Spotlighting NYLON October 2012

~-~:::~-~

This month's Nylon issue is all about all things "IT!" I love this color featuring the stars of Perks of Being a Wallflower... I love a good triad! I think it's an interesting layout, but I do like more of a popping color on the cover! Anyway, let's page through, shall we?

~-~:::~-~

These jeans of the month are amazing! Finger paint print jeans? Fun! I'm all about artsy craftsy prints, and these are super chic with that touch of cheek!

(Page 66)

~-~:::~-~

I'm all about monochrome (see the jeans of the week), and lines and stripes really set it off! I love this little trend board with these effortlessly chic looks.

(Page 76)

This spread reminds me of a post I did a few weeks back! It was all about rich colors for the fall. I love the deepness of these shades and it isn't bad to rock them from head to toe! While I prefer a touch here and there, if you can pull it off, now is the time to try!

(Starting on page 96)

Speaking of rich colors, these are just crazy! I had to get post this picture of emerging English rapper, Roxxxan, for those amazing Missoni leggings! Zig zag prints may be a defining element in the brand, but I'm more interested in the fun cutout details in them! I love playing with sides of garments in a symmetrical manner, and I think these are really fun! Sorry, just a bit of design inspiration!

~-~:::~-~

A spread all about wool? Sign me up! I love a great chunky sweater on a cold day, and these options really take it to the next level! Bold colors and interesting patterns really create more design on a simple sweater silhouette. I love these playful ideas on a frigid day... Let's be brighter than the snow this winter!

So who's rocking their rich bright colors this AW? Me!

Magazine Monday - Spotlighting ELLE October 2012

Ah, ELLE is one of my favorite magazines (And one of my favorite blog partners ;)), and it's always a treat paging through magazines with our readers! And Britney's on the cover? Sold!

~-~:::~-~

I grew up with Britney in my life, so I feel pretty attached to her! I love this strong and confident cover, with this gorgeous cobalt on her! She's rocking her latest signature of short, tight dresses, and it looks great!

~-~:::~-~

I love the ELLE trend pages that show gorgeous ways to stick trends in your wardrobe! Glitz, rock, and pearls... Who needs anything more?

(Starts on page 170)

~-~:::~-~

I love meeting new designers, especially ones with a great aesthetic! Meet Australia's Dion Lee and his gorgeous straight silhouettes, simple designs, with an important color twist! Definitely have to look out for this guy!

(Page 214)

~-~:::~-~

Another awesome feature in ELLLE is their Personal Style Guide pages! Again, gorgeous options for different types of women! These pages have looks for day, night, and weekends for all types of personalities! Whether you're an extrovert, adventuress, glamour girl, or urban surfer... There is something here for you! ;)

(Starts on page 250)

~-~:::~-~

All I have to say is... It's Britney, bitch! Love her! And it's a great piece to read!

(Starts on page 359)

~-~:::~-~

And now for the editorials! Wait Until Dark is all about moody hues and rich laces! Gothic, enchanting, and mysterious! Oh so pretty.

(Starts on page 379)

~-~:::~-~

The final editorial Home Front is gorgeous... An almost dark twist on the country... Romantic but eerie... Chunky knits, romantic lace, and quirky Victorian accents! Beautifully different!

(Starts on page 396)

~-~:::~-~

Another awesome issue and plenty of pages to pin up on your wall! Pick this issue up!

Magazine Monday - Spotlighting Esquire October 2012

Today is one for the fellas! This Magazine Monday, I got Esquire in my mailbox!

Let's page through, shall we?

~-~:::~-~

Oh Clint, why so stern? ;)

~-~:::~-~

I'm all about a good murse (I mean, I have a lot of things to carry for class!) and though this one is out of my price range, one that can handle the elements, like this Coach beauty is necessary!

(Page 73)

~-~:::~-~

I really liked this segment, "Ask Nick Sullivan," the fashion director at Esquire! He had some really good advice! One reader asked how to build a look around corduroy pants. Nick suggested, "Think of cords as you would a pair of jeans: They always work great with a jacket that has some texture, like a herringbone tweed. Add a blue oxford cotton button-down and some...brown leather or suede wing tips and you're on your way." Perfect!

(More good advice on page 78)

~-~:::~-~

I loved this little section on travel outfits and where in the world you could wear them! Though there could have been more color in them, I liked the drawn in background with the models pictures!

My favorite look is the look flying the Atlantic ::: A cool quilted jacket with a striped lining paired with a chunky sweater and comfortable jeans! Easy for traveling!

(Starting on page 156)

~-~:::~-~

I also got a supplement with my magazine "Esquire, Working." I loved this piece on "The New Office Dress Codes." It's so confusing where you work on what is acceptable with all of the names that are thrown out there! So what's business, business casual, and casual?

Business: Suits rule here, but they don't need to all be basic two pieces. Make it a three-piece or a bold check print!

Business Casual: Middle ground, play down a suit, laid back but professional! They suggest starting casual and adding business later, or doing the opposite!

Casual: You can wear anything, but should you? Mix up t-shirt and jeans with a nice blazer, or leather jacket. Don't be messy just because you can; if you look good, you feel good, and get that work done right! :)

(Starting on page 12 of Esquire, Working)

Hope you enjoyed, guys! As much as I hate stuffy menswear magazines with a lot of the same looks, this Esquire offered some great advice!
