Magazine Monday - Spotlighting Harper's Bazaar September Issue 2012

I received yet another big September magazine! Last week, I highlighted ELLE's Sepetember issue, but this time it's Harper's Bazaar! I was excited by the super awesome Gwen Stefani cover and gorgeous pink flower Alexis Mabille couture hat! It's super editorial, and an awesome shot! Flawless cover, no??

Well, as usual, let's page through!

I love HB's gorgeous lists with pretty items! Green is in, and these jade beauties are stunning! I think this color goes well with a lot of others, so popping accessories with it could be an awesome idea!

I love the old antiquity theme that is emerging, and this gold and black page is perfect! I think clothes are being beautifully made these days, while becoming a bit more affordable. Jewels, golds, and furs are always gorgeous in the fall!

We all know that I'm all about red for the fall from my Friday post - so I had to stop at this stunning list! These reds are deep and, well, bloody! Shiny silver accessories really complement this deep, dark look! Love!

Who wouldn't want to be this woman! I loved this segment, Closet of the Month, featuring jewelry designer, Lynn Ban! How good does she look in a print? It's perfectly organized, filled with crazy patterns and prints, and ridiculously stunning designer pieces! Did you see she has 14 Celine bags and 800 vintage couture pieces?? Lucky...

Here's another list of stunning glittery, jeweled, studded shades of gray accessories and shoes! Love everything about this...besides the glitter rubbing off and sticking to my skin! ;)

Super famous model from the past, Farida Khelfa, is featured in this article, and she's going to help relaunch the Schiaparelli brand! I had to stop at this article because I've been researching Elsa Schiaparelli lately, and looking at her work, and I'm super excited by this news! Can't wait to see where it goes... *Things that get designers excited*

And Farida is pretty fab!

Found a great color chart that shows awesome color guides to look "Fabulous at Every Age!"

"20s - Go heavy on the rouge with chic crimson"

"30s - Electrify in the brightest blues"

"40s - Pair regal purple with black for added richesse"

"50s - Highlight your look with bold blocks of fuchsia"

"60s - Shine brilliantly in shades of sapphire"

"70s+ - Think pink with rose-colored accents"

Aren't Diane von Furstenberg and Barbara Walters pretty ageless? Gorgeous!

I can't shy away from a good beauty tip just because we're mostly a fashion blog!

It's all about Dermapen! ;)

So excited for the Met Museum's Andy Warhol exhibition! It starts Sept 18 and run until the end of the year! I will be there before the end, for sure! Eee!

If you're into fascinating reads - I definitely recommend this! This article about Doris Duke is full of...everything! This woman lived a LIFE! So intriguing.

Had to stop on this little piece! So... It's telling me I should go to Australia now... And what I should be wearing? Awesome! I love travel pieces, and mixing that with fashion is so fun!

(Starting on page 447)

~-~

And now for my favorite part... The editorials! Love this one! "The Best of What's New"! Well, that is perfect! I know you all would die to wear all of these pieces this fall! Pretty and strong against the plain background... Nice!

Another fun editorial called Chic in the Street! Hmm.. Is someone being influenced by street style blogs? ;)

(Starting on page 542)

Another September issue and another success! I really like Harper's Bazaar for their articles, along with their gorgeous editorials! I feel they have a larger array of interesting lifestyle pieces mixed in with amazing fashion - so I would definitely recommend picking up this one today!

It's not like the cover would stray you elsewhere! Gorgeous!

Sunday Funday - Anthony Carmen Challenge Results Week 3

I know I'm late, but it's still Sunday! That means, it's time for a little personal work!

So what challenges did I get this week?

~-~

Toggle Loose Poncho, Black Side Zip Pants

Puffed Aqua Collared Shirt, Opened Black Side Zip Pants

I loved the idea of a woman leaving from Ireland to go on a little trip to Spain! So I envisioned her getting on the plane in the cold, rainy weather, and getting off to sunny skies!

I thought of the woman in a poncho, coming into the airport from the rain, with versatile pants that suited both types of weather. I think the side zip idea is fun because you can do a lot with it - stopping at the knee, you can leave the zipper anywhere in-between there and the ankle. She'll probably change when this gets to her hotel, but this is a good weather changing outfit for the travel!

Now I have never even thought of athletic wear, so I was a little apprehensive with this one...but I like a challenge! I'm all about gaudy at the Olympics! You're there to represent your country, so I think you should really show off who you're playing for! I think white is classic and fitting for the Olympics, so I wanted to design around it. I wanted it to look cool from the side, so I decided to play with stripes on the sleeves and then put blue starred print along the side of the pant. It's classic and clean from the front, and bold and fun from the side - and I think it shows the fun and respect of the Olympics! (But I probably still won't ever think about athletic wear after this!)

What did you think of this week's looks? What would you like me to do for next week?

As always, I'm going to beg for new challenges! Send some of your own, or ask a friend for a good one! ;)
