    Sometimes procrastinating on Tumblr can be a good thing! 

    I recently found this amazing shoot from ‘W’ magazine on my dashboard and literally stopped in my tracks. The publication is celebrating their 40th anniversary with a cover story encompassing the distinct styles of the past 4 decades, with 4 of the best actresses of the 21st Century – in my opinion anyway.
    The 1970’s is embodied by Rooney Mara who is almost unrecognisable from her usual minimalist style for bold printed Prada, that ‘oh-so-in’ wide brim hat and Autumnal colours. 
    Mia Wasikowska takes on the boldest of the 4 decades – and my personal favourite – the 1980’s in a Balenciaga bustier and bright neon make up. 
    In Dolce & Gabbana is the ever alluring Scarlett Johanssen, taking on the edgier grunge trend of the 1990’s. 
    And finally a very chic, Tilda Swinton-esque take on the Noughties (I hate that word…) with Keira Knightley in forever classic Chanel
    Despite the striking differences in between the decades themselves, I love the overall theme of the spread and the other worldly green tint that ties the whole thing together. You can read more and see all of these images in glorious HQ here. I’ve also linked to each actress’ mini interview, just click on their names.

    My excitement for this movie knows no bounds, it’s even slipping onto my fashion blog – not that I’m complaining. In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, well I’m currently fawning over the newest edition of Nylon magazine (Oct 2012).
    Featured on the cover are three of my favourite actors/people in general in Young Hollywood. The amazingly cheek boned Ezra Miller, the adorably dashing Logan Lerman and Miss Stylish herself, Emma Watson. This new trio are out and about promoting their new film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, adapted from the book by Stephen Chbosky.
    The shoot itself is amazing, mixing grunge with a back to school twist (very appropriately parallelled with the time period of the movie. Love how well they all stand out individually through their own personal style. I definitely need to see this movie soon!

  • Anything but amateur: Wish Magazine review

    I love supporting projects within our wonderful online community, so I splashed out on arguably one of the most anticipated reads in the blogsphere. Wish magazine arrived through my letter box a couple of weeks ago and it definitely lived up to the hype. I’ve been slow on the uptake mainly due to work commitments and I wanted to do a review once I’d read through every single page thoroughly.
    And what an amazing thing it was to actually read a magazine instead of flipping through countless adverts. Wish magazine roots can be found with it’s namesake blog Wish Wish Wish, run my the lovely Carrie. Like it’s Internet sister it’s pages are filled with beautiful photography and charming whit from all of it’s contributors.
    The topics within this issue are as diverse as the blogsphere itself, from fashion to travel to food, it’s like all of my BlogLovin’ subs printed out into a lovely little booklet all wrapped up in candy colours for me to read when I can’t get to a computer. Some of my favourite articles have included a whole spread recommended tea rooms in London, a guide to Vintage shopping around the world and a nostalgic musings on letter writing and pen pals.
    Carrie herself admits in her editorial letter that it is by no means perfects. But that’s really where the charm lies. The articles are like postcards from friends and completely approachable to read.
    In addition to it’s light tone, the whole magazine is artistically stunning. From it’s very professional looking fashion stories, to the wonderful illustrations and amazing typography. The whole thing is very stylised but I love that, it’s gorgeously candy wrapped and some pages are very much reminiscent of old issues of Vogue.

    My favourite part is actually the little note at the end. How many magazines actually thank you for reading them? 

    Wish magazine is definitely a recommended read and still available Internationally, so grab a copy while it’s still in stock here

    Keep on wishing…
